The Protectorate of GNOMICON
"Beware the Gnomes, for They Will Conquer All"
UN Category: Free-Market Paradise
Civil Rights: Unheard Of Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: The North Pacific
The Protectorate of GNOMICON 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 small, moralistic government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming industries.
Crime is a problem. GNOMICON's national animal is the black mage and its currency is the gnomibuck.

Should Eizen Crush Gnomes? Nahh. The puny nation of Gnomicon is irrelevant however I could ensalve about 100,000 and put them to work in weapons factories.
EDIT: Will they join SDNet?

Eh, why not. Since there's no military conflict and I ain't touching those forums, I should be somewhat safe...

So okay people who are you all, own up you in the back, and don't think we all didn't see the EI sitting in the Corner hiding their face.
Hehe and I guess I will reveal who I am in a bit.
From a review of the two Towers.... 'As for Gimli being comic relief, what if your comic relief had a huge axe and fells dozens of Orcs? That's a pretty cool comic relief. '

That's one of Darth Fanboy's nations. I have thirteen nations, only one of which(Adumar) is in SDnet.
I Co-own Leet SPeak with a lady friend, appropriately named Melissa. Hence why it isn't counted as an Eizen protectorate.
btw: Adumar kicks ass.
