Well AP and I are already in the UN...
Perhaps we could have opposing factions within SDnet backing each of us?

I've created a Fundie nation:

The Holy Empire of FanaticJihads
"Praise to The God Emperor"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Few Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Few

Location: the South Pacific
The Holy Empire of FanaticJihads is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. 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 enormous government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Commerce are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 34%, 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 Woodchip Exports.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. FanaticJihads's national animal is the bibicle creature, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bible lititure.

Don't worry it will not leave South Pacific. This just to play with, make horrible government and such.

The Commonwealth of Tarbonesis is quite hesitant to join the United Nations, as it seems to be stuffed full of busybodies with no concept of the right of a sovereign nation to determine the conduct of its internal affairs (and the rules of the game make it so UN members must abide by resolutions). Worse, there seems to be no checks or balances against the ability of a country with enough support from regional delegates to ram through any idiotic proposal it choses. Nevertheless, the Commonwealth may see fit to apply for UN membership and support another regional member's bid for representative, provided it recieves some assurances that that delagate recognizes the principle of sovereignty and self-determination and will take all necessary steps to block needless international meddling in other states' affairs.

The Republic of Teryll is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning spiting cobra population. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent 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 13%. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Retail.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Teryll's national animal is the spiting cobra and its currency is the teryllia.

The Commonwealth fails to see how post count effects a nation's ability to function as regional delegate. We will support any candidate nation that recognizes the principle of sovereignty and the right of all nations to determine their own destiny, and will vigorously oppose any candidate that seeks to use the UN as a tool for forcing its own beliefs on unwilling states, irregardless of post count.

Which of the top UN countries do you think is most open or slaughter? I'm itching to flex my military muscle. Hell, its the only reason I signed up. The destruction of the weak. Just think, SDnet could start conquering, then everyone simply changes their civilization to "Empire" and voila, I still won't pick up any chicks, oh damn.....

Well, its at least entertaining to think about :twisted:

Set your issues to 2 a day and I think you can get more control over how your government works.

That was the first thing I did :D

Oh well looks like I'm not gonna be playing evil dictator in this game.

On a sidenote you guys ever played Floor 13? It's a bit like this in gameplay style but you're not running a nation you're running a secret agency that is basically every conspiracy nuts wet dream. It's pretty fun. You can get it off the-underdogs.org

The Confederacy of The Ctan
"Progress Through Superior Technological Developement"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Unheard Of Economy: Struggling Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: SDnet
The Confederacy of The Ctan is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

Public nudity is compulsory and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Ctan's national animal is the Deluvian Razor Tail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Credit.

And I seem to have been accepted into the UN :shock:

The Empire of Vasey

"Freedom is overrated"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy

Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Good Political Freedoms: Below Average

Location: SDnet

Vasey is a UN Member

The Empire of Vasey is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9 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 Law & Order, although Social Equality and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 22%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem. Vasey's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the groat.

And this started out as an oppressive empire :?

The Dictatorship of Starfury is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. 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 tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 4%. A large private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is a problem. Starfury's national animal is the the serpent and its currency is the the nash.

The Holy Empire of Azad
"Quo Vadis?"

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Some

Location: the South Pacific
The Holy Empire of Azad is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 8 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Soda Sales.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime is moderate. Azad's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dukhat.
