The Constitutional Monarchy of Vansalia
"Education, Economy and Progress"
UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: Promised Land
The Constitutional Monarchy of Vansalia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Gambling.
Crime is totally unknown. Vansalia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dram.

The Federation of Cookiea
"If you can' beat them, eat them."
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: The North Pacific
The Federation of Cookiea is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The small government concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 10%. A robust private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining industries.
Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cookiea's national animal is the cake monster and its currency is the cookie.

The Grand Duchy of Eidsvaag
"Na, Kerls! Wollt ihr denn ewig leben?"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:
Average Economy:
Struggling Political Freedoms:
Some
Location: the West Pacific
The Grand Duchy of Eidsvaag is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 57%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Eidsvaag's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the maha.
I wanna be a good-natured dictator!

The Confederacy of Mvassland
"You can give a horse water, but you can't make it drink"
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights:Very Good
Economy:Good
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Europe
The Confederacy of Mvassland is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning geneticly modified dog population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
Crime is moderate. Mvassland's national animal is the geneticly modified dog and its currency is the Mvassland Dollar.
Let's create a region for HC members.

The Jingoistic States of Bortitania

Economy: Struggling
Political Freedoms: Some
Location: the South Pacific
The Jingoistic States of Bortitania is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate 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 enormous, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.

Location: Promised Land
The Armed Republic of AMtwis is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 6 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.
Voting is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. AMtwis's national animal is the Cheeseeating RMS and its currency is the krona.

The Holy Republic of Vlagh
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Average
Location: Middle East
The Holy Republic of Vlagh is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 18%. A small private sector is ted by the Book Publishing industry.
Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Vlagh's national animal is the siberian house cat and its currency is the valtor.
I think the idea of a Heroes Community area is a good one. Should it be "Heroes Community" or "HC"?
