It’s a fun little game where you get your own nation to lead. You get issues to resolve, and the way you choose to act on them defines how your nation will develop. Quite nifty, for a book promotion thingy. (And the book, “Jennifer Government” by Max Barry, looks quite nifty too.)
The Republic of Giddopia has arrived. There is to be no social welfare, no tree-hugging hippie crap, bugger all income tax, and lots of lovely corruption. That is all. Now piss off before I have you all arbitrarily shot.

I have created a brand new region for us Dopers, The Sea of Cecil, which you may feel free to join.
My nation, The Dominion of Friedonia, is a free-market paradise with legal maryjoowanna, excellent civil rights and a ruling class of psychotic biker bangs. We also have the best flag.
Say hello to the Republic of Petrovsk. (The UN lies! We are not a psychotic dictatorship, and I will kill anyone who says we are! I will kill anyone who thinks we are! I will kill you all!)
I can barely get on to the site, to say nothing of exploring it. I fear that my time participating in nationstates.net will be shortlived unless they do something to up the capacity.
For those poor downtrodden who get sick of the rampant fascism in Giddopia :p, I personally extend the offer of asylum in the Confederacy of Railrunna.
Sure, our police force is underfunded, our government corrupt, we have a high mortality rate, below average civil rights and our second biggest industry is Door-to-Door Insurance Sales… but you’re free of the iron fist of tyranny, our political system gives the people a voice! And our third biggest industry is Pizza Delivery. Sounds a lot like New South Wales, actually…
As soon as the hamsters will let me, I’ll be relocating to the Sea of Cecil.
