I'm In!


Location: Anandtechia
The Incorporated States of Enronandia is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales industries.

Crime is a major problem. Enronandia's national animal is the chupacabra and its currency is the btu.


On a side note, my country will become the leader in trout sales to certain members of the ATOT community.

Haha, I just squashed a living wage increase by my trout farmers. They can take their whining elsewhere.

The Holy Empire of Psychotic Bastards

"Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?"

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Good

Location: Anandtechia
The Holy Empire of Psychotic Bastards is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Commerce and Defence are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing industries.

Crime is a major problem. Psychotic Bastards's national animal is the sabre toothed crotch cricket, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the heads of the disbelievers.

The Republic of The Stumbly Wumblies is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining industries.

Crime is moderate. The Stumbly Wumblies's national animal is the goat and its currency is the nutty bar.

The Fiefdom of Mazrim Taim is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Mazrim Taim's national animal is the bison and its currency is the wooden dime.

Copycat. My Empire has the monopoly on the bottlecap currency market but we are the same philosophically. If you move to Anandtechia, would you like to ally with the Barflys ?

Finally it worked:

Location: Anandtechia

The Grand Duchy of The Oingo Boingo is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A large private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Information Technology and Trout Farming.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Oingo Boingo's national animal is the tender lumpling and its currency is the shiny silver dollar.

The People's Republic of CampbellsSoup is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. CampbellsSoup's national animal is the wolverine and its currency is the dollar.

I can't even get to the page that will allow me to switch regions.

Well it was a niche "game" to begin with. Made by a guy to promote a book. It asked for the email address so it could give updates, but has been blown out of its original idea.

When it gets posted here, HardOCP, Genmay, (insert any of the big p00ter boards) within a couple of days of each other and it kills the server :(

I doubt they'll upgrade.

Hmmmm, I planned to be a little arbitrary with my decisions, but I never expected this:

The Rogue Nation of Eagles Summit
"If you're not from here - you suck!"

UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Few

Location: Anandtechia

The Rogue Nation of Eagles Summit is a small, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The small, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A healthy private sector is led by the Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing industries.

Surveillance cameras are banned, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and thieves are flogged in public for their crimes. Crime is a problem. Eagles Summit's national animal is the Wharbling Nubgrubbler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Nef.

My country has changed a bit already. This is a pretty cool "game"

The Holy Empire of Psychotic Bastards

"Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?"

Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Excessive

Location: Anandtechia
The Holy Empire of Psychotic Bastards is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Commerce and Defence are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing industries.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru. Crime is a major problem. Psychotic Bastards's national animal is the sabre toothed crotch cricket, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the heads of the disbelievers.
