ToriJ plays: NationStates -- EoFF Edition

[Ayen]

Inspired by Psychotic wrestling game.

NationStates allows you to run your own country and address various issues which develops your country accordingly. I felt like giving it another run using EoFF themes so you can find the nation here.

Everyday the game gives you a new issue to address. It's basically choosing between the best of a bunch of lousy options. You can dismiss it altogether, but then the country doesn't really develop so for this playthrough I'm going to address them all and see how things work out. Here's the default description the nation got once I got set up:

The Community of EoFF is a fledgling, genial nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining industries.

Crime is relatively low. EoFF's national animal is the chocobo, and its currency is the gil.

Now to get star-- good lord, I have four issues already.

Should Democracy Be Compulsory? [unaddressed]
Nudists Demand Time In Sun [unaddressed]
Uranium Deposit Promises To Enrich EoFF [unaddressed]
Cloning Research Promises New Breakthrough [unaddressed]

Why am I not surprised EoFF is involved in uranium and cloning research?

[Slothy]

Yes on Uranium, cloning and nudity please.

[Jinx]

i wanna be naked plz

[Ayen]

In other words, you're this guy:

"For too long, our bodies have been trapped in these prisons of cotton and polyester! We must repeal the puritanical laws that make public nudity a crime. My body--my choice to dangle!"

[Jinx]

well i don't have dangley bits but otherwise yes

[Ayen]

Some legislation has just been passed.

scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes.

citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked.

voting is voluntary.

the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry.

Well, that isn't so-- wait a minute.

EoFF's national animal is the chocobo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE VIVI?!

[Jinx]

chocobos suck i'm glad to see them go

also cloning nudests means a lot of naked me

[Slothy]

What I've done is cut down on greenhouse gases by putting us on the path to nuclear power. You can thank me when global warming doesn't happen.

[Jinx]

Not to derail ToriJ's thread, but I've started my own ry. :3

NationStates | The Matriarchy of Samdinavia

[Slothy]

Not to derail ToriJ's thread, but I've started my own ry. :3

NationStates | The Matriarchy of Samdinavia

Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Struggling



Anyway, might as well play along: NationStates | The Empire of Vivisection

[Jinx]

Hey, our political freedoms kick ass, though! And your economy isn't much better.

I just want to point out that the spiritualism of Samdinavia is worshiping the Goddess and her glorious Uterus of Yoni Sisterhood. We burn Christians--and all who support the Patriarchy--at the stake.

(I might actually do a run of what I think would be the ideal government someday, but right now it's fun being ridiculous. :3)

[Slothy]

To be fair on the economy thing, I made fun of you before actually making mine.

[Jinx]

Okay. Haha.

Well, I have four issues of legislature pending! ToriJ, how long does it usually take to pass them? It says overnight...does it actually mean overnight?

[Psychotic]

chocobos suck i'm glad to see them go

also cloning nudests means a lot of naked me

pix or it didn't happen amirite guys

hopefully the uranium makes your hooters glow

[Ayen]

My last four issues went through after two hours and I got a new issue immediately after that. Usually it is a day by day thing. If you have it set to two you get one per morning and one per afternoon.

Bah, next issue is a boring tax thing. I can either cut spending, tax the rich or let people choose what they spend their taxes on.
