    Of course, there will be a lot more than one leader involved in this ... world... type... thing.

    Fine, I'll add my part...

    Name: Gaby, or Takara. You choose.
    Government Type: Oh, hell, why not. Monarchy.
    Name of Region: Gabyland.
    Values: Health, education, family, love, cookies, kittens, equality in the sexes, procrastination, bitchslapping, gay marriage, badmouthing Britney Spears, fun stuff, the internet, videogames.
    Against: Homophopes, racists, sexists, religious extremists, dramaqueens, sexual offenders, adultery, cheating, lying, stealing, college costing way too much, country and rap music, Britnet Spears.
    Plans: To make education free for everyone, no matter your age, race, sex, IQ, or sexual orientation. Kitties and cookies for everyone. All females will be taught the very secret martial art of bitchslapping. Sexual offenders will be castrated with a dull plastic knife. Our ultimate goal is to kidnap Britney Spears and torture her to death for torturing us with her lack of talent for all these years.
    Propoganda: Bitchslapping is fun! Do it!

    Haha, this brings backs some memories! I have two entries, actually.

    Entry #1
    Name: Lord Mïchnáidia.
    Government Type: Dr. Doom style meritocracy. <_<
    Name of Region: The Republican Monarchy of Mïchnáidia, or whatever it was.
    Values: Baodan chi-balls, mom's applepie and the extermination of all goody goody superheroes.
    Against: The survival of my enemies.
    Plans: [your clearance is not high enough for this information - report to the extermination room]
    Propoganda: There is no propagana in Mïchnáidia. Except ZOMBOCOM, of course.

    Entry #2
    Name: Archcouncillor Järventaus
    Government Type: Limited republican meritocracy / academiarchy.
    Name o' Region: Zhem.
    Values: The appeasement of all citizens, peace and prosperity, balances between minorities and majorities, the good of the people, the earth and the nation, rehabilitation and preventative policies on social problems. Oh, and education.
    Against: Anarchy and authoritarianism, complete disregard of others, in a monkey-scratch kind of way.

    Propaganda:
    Zhem is losely based on my Shaem, but nevermind that. The nation is borne upon a policy of appeasement - everyone is kept happy, so they don't go nuts and kill everyone. Basically this entails heavy social programs and spending.
    The government is an elected council divided into different branches that control certain thingies. Y'know, like diplomacy branch and healthcare branch. The councillors are chosen from a pool of academics and people who know how to do stuff, like doctors or even carpenters or architects. I don't know how they choose who's elligible for election, though. Thinking of that.

    You'll have to pick one, good Sir Nait.

    EDIT: On a sidenote, it always amuses me when people say they are against homophobia. Homophobia isn't always (well, to be technical, it should never be) the hatred of homosexuals but the fear of homosexuals or homosexuality. I'm a self proclaimed homophobe, but I have some good friends who are gay. I just fear homosexuality.

    Sounds like an interesting concept, but is it wise to put the burden on people who will work, and make them carry people who do not? If folks are allowed to sit back and collect food and meals anyway, what's the incentive for anyone to work at all?

    Sure personal advancement could be a just cause, but if you can survive without work, I'd be wary of laziness taking over.

    Just a thought. Still, I very interesting idea.

    Take care all.

    How about I change it to extreme homophobes? The kinds that would fire someone just because they are homosexual, or worse, kill them?

    Very true, but im counting on the human urge to always be better than someone else. Any beileve me if you had no computer, and television, and only the basic needs and u saw somebody with money and didnt have to eat the same government issued meals every 7 days you'd work... This is just a safety measure for those who may live on the streets or in stricken poverty... I always beileved it was the job of the government to take care of the people, that live in the country, when they cant/wont take care of themselves.

    If an EoFF world were to be created, would you like to be a leader? You would be the leader of a region with an independent government. If so, please fill out the following with your own details.

    Name: Your name, obviously. Screenname, real name, political name, whatever. Preferrably the name that you're most well known as.
    Government Type: Dictatorship? Monarchy? Democracy? Something else?
    Name of Region: What you would name your region.
    Values: The things that you believe in. This can include stuff like religion, happiness, freedom or anarchy.
    Against: You can leave this blank if you like, but I figure some people would like to list a few things.
    Plans: What you intend on doing once you become leader. Or at least, what you want people to think you intend on doing.
    Propoganda: Anything you might want to add to convince people that you're someone they'd like to have as a leader.

    Politics shmolitics. I'd much rather be a corporate leader than a political one. I have problems imposing my will on others. If I were to be a political leader, I'd want to be Secretary of Defense, or Secretary of Science (the latter being analogous to Senate Committee on Scientific Affairs, or something).

    Homophobes are just people with homophobia. But don't worry, I'm just picky when people say "anti-homophobia" because I'm a homophobe and I haven't done anything wrong (unless having a fear is wrong). If you really want to be specific, I'm sure you can just say "anti-homosexual" or... uhm... something.

    Psy: The ideal gang war consists of two teams, not about twenty. But even if I was promoting gang wars (which I always have), what's so bad about that? =o
