[The Republic of Copoacu](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=copoacu) has just been created, and moved to the Sea of Cecil. Our national animal is the hummingbird, or as it’s known in Copoacu the “Beija Flor”, so as you can see we’re a very small but busy country of 5 million. ---

I rule The Republic of Gettoit. The currency is the Givit (get it?). I tried four times to name it before I took a name not in use or saved for another nation. This seems a lot like the game Abner Doon played in The Worthing Saga, though much less complex. ---

I’m reviving this thread since there seems to be a lot of talk about this game all ready in **Meatros** ’ “[Online Games](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=229675)” thread. As of Thurs. Dec. 18, 2003 1:54pm PST **The Incorporated States of Kasuo** “Living it up, one person at a time.” UN Category: Anarchy Civil Rights: Superb Economy: Powerhouse Political Freedoms: Superb Location: Sea of Cecil The Incorporated States of Kasuo is a small, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs. There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Education. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries. Voting is voluntary, Kasuo’s children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a major problem. Kasuo’s national animal is the platypus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar. Kasuo is ranked 32nd in the region and 31,095th in the world for Rudest Citizens. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-at-nationstates-net/145357.md?page=5)
