Create your own nation game.
So you think you can rule a country better, more economically, more compassionately or with less problems. Well, here's your chance to create, name and rule over your own private country

Have fun!!

Gee whiz the issues I've had to deal with are hard.
Compulsory voting was one of the first issues, and get this, for some reason the Arms Manufacturing industry got their panties in a twist and have threatened to strike unless they get a 20% pay raise over two years. Then they found uranium in my country. I could mine it flat out. Reject mining altogether. Or mine it in a limited capacity being sensitive as possible to the environment. Hospitals have requested that they be allowed to pay people for donating blood and other bodily organs, such as kidneys. The down side of this is, that it most likely will be the poor who are doing all the donating. However I look at this as being a personal choice and not a government one.

I played it for a whoiule last year.

Note: whoiule = while. Felt like leaving it in so that everyone can see what too much activity does to me, haha.

2. I did this for a few months.
Gets really boring because the issues just repeat over and over after about a week. Fun for a while though.

It's a fun way to pass a little time.

The guy who created it, Max Barry, wrote a really great novel titled Jennifer Government. It's a great book, DUers should definitely check it out.

It's kind of Catch 22ish...

5. Well, I just voted to go organic, so I bet my economy implodes.
I am particularly proud of the fact that and I quote “Toujours Pur's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region” and get this, “Max Barry is this year's Miss Toujours Pur” it must have been the beard.

Toujours Pur

Civil Rights:---------Economy:----------Political Freedoms:
Excellent--------------Strong-----------------Excellent

The Free Land of Toujours Pur is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 40 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Defence and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Toujours Pur is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, Toujours Pur's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, Max Barry is this year's Miss Toujours Pur, and hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Toujours Pur's many privately-owned prisons. Crime is moderate. Toujours Pur's national animal is the chicken and its currency is the eggs.
