It?s an online political simulation game, it?s very limited but it gives me something to do for 5 minutes everyday.
Anyway I setup a new nation (Mercenary Zephyrus) and a new region called \'Yliakum\' so feel free to join me there. I thought maybe we could establish a Planeshift presence in the game.  

[Xalthar]

jeh, I joined.. Now lets see if I can get my nation all communist like

[Zephyrus]

Cool i think i might aim for anarchy...

[Xalthar]

I thought about going anarchist myself, but since many of my irl oppinions on politic are closest to communism, I thought I\'d go down that road instead

[Zephyrus]

yeah i have a much much older nation for my real life politics;Dark_Zephyr

The Kingdom of Seperot (british flag)

\"Fool us once shame on you, fool us twice shame you died\"

UN Category: Democratic Socialists

Civil Rights: Below Average  
Economy: Reasonable    
Political Freedoms: Good

Location: the South Pacific

The Kingdom of Seperot is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Seperot\'s national animal is the alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation\'s many lush forests, and its currency is the crystal.

The Republic of Monkestan is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons.

The average income tax rate is 20%. A healthy private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.
