ToriJ plays: NationStates -- EoFF Edition

[Ayen]

Has anyone tried the ripple effect for your flag? It makes it look pretty good

That's my off-duty nation there to reflect my own choices. Though I get the feeling it wouldn't be too different from EoFF, I tend to lean towards the left anyway.

Edit: If you change your theme to conservative or liberal it has a new category based off an extreme right and left view. In the conservative view EoFF is categorized as 'Gay Marriage State'

Liberal categorizes us as 'Normal'

Edit edit:

a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway.

Next issue is basically whether or not to legalize euthanasia.

[Madonna]

That texture effect is neat; I will have to update my national flag and the regional flag soon. It has been ages.

Yes, people should be able to kill themselves or have help in doing so. Legalize.

Both Jiro and I play, though we keep to different regions because his sucks and I am an elitist.

got my own game going....

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, voting is voluntary, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown. Krabmeat's national animal is the Cobbsquatch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the frog.

100% approval rating, no lie.

[Jinx]

cobbsquatch omg xD

[Ayen]

Meanwhile, over in Essancee:

voting is voluntary

YAY!

the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes

Oh... Boo!

the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas.

Yay?

political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations.

Take THAT, political parties

[Slothy]

The mighty sloth is now on the menu as a Vivisection delicacy.

And crime is totally unknown in my country bitches. And that's with me spending almost nothing on Law & Order. I downloaded the seasons for free instead. /smug

I downloaded the seasons for free instead. /smug

You monster!

[Slothy]

The private sector makes up 15% of my GDP. You can imagine how I feel about copyright laws protecting those damn capitalist pigs.

[Ayen]

Speaking of the capitalist pigs, they think my nation is hell on earth

[Slothy]

Isn't it great. I just looked at my government spending and people.

No money to defense, 14% to Healthcare, 20% to Education, and 41% to welfare. As it should be. Only 24% to administration surprised me since it's the same percentage as Tori's EoFF nation.

And there are only three things that will kill you in my country: old age, acts of god and getting lost in the wilderness. And old age makes up 94% of those deaths. Ironic given I named my country Vivisection I guess.

[Jinx]

Your economy is also a Basket Case. xD

[Ayen]

Essancee
Deaths: 2% Acts of God
3% Lost in Wilderness
13% Murder
82% Old Age

Government: 7% Industry
18% Welfare/Healthcare/Education
39% Administration

Economy: 38% Public Sector
62% Private Sector

EoFF
Deaths: 2% Acts of God
6% Murder
40% Cancer
52% Old Age

Government: 2% Healthcare
7% Defense
21% Administration
31% Education
36% Welfare

Economy: 29% Public Sector
71% Private Sector.

I like the balance I got going in Essancee government spending. Get the feeling I should have put money in healthcare for EoFF.

[Slothy]

Your economy is also a Basket Case. xD

That's why people are allowed to eat and sell sloth meat now. Also, everyone seems to be happy so I must be doing something right.

The Democratic Republic of Ashopia is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning Ferret population. Its compassionate, 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 enormous government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.
Crime is well under control. Ashopia's national animal is the Ferret, and its currency is the Ashi.

Am I doing it right?

[WildRaubtier]

Bungee Jumping contributed to 2% of my population's deaths.

That means 120,000 of the people alive in my country will die jumping off bridges.

Does that count as suicide?
