The Allied States of Masurep is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 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 large government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 24%. A large private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Pizza Delivery.
Voting is voluntary. Crime is relatively low. Masurep's national animal is the turkey and its currency is the kwaher.
Create and run your own Government...

In the profile of your nation, it'll be described as the private sector, just after it mentions tax rates.atg wrote:I probaly overlooked something simple but I dont seem to see anything relating to industry in here... how do you check that?Boyish-Tigerlilly wrote:Some aspects of it are confusing.

I remember when we used to have a huge SD.net region - there must have been 50 nations in it back in the day! I have to be honest, I don't have a clue why so many people play. If my nation wasn't so powerful, I wouldn't bother.

The Empire of the Orange Coast
The Empire of The Orange Coast is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, 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. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Orange Coast's national animal is the griffin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dalor.

And you don't HAVE to sell your kidney. Point is, you CAN.

The kwaher. Comes from Chris Stasheff's A Company of Stars: Book One of Starship Troupers, and is worth one kilowatt-hour of energy. Simple and universal, since one always needs energy .LeftWingExtremist wrote:(sorry to double post) I suggest we have a universal currency for SD.net region.
