this is how my nation looks now
The Constitutional Monarchy of Vansalia
"Dragon's Shall Rule Forever!"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Imploded
Political Freedoms: Very Good
Location: Promised Land
The Constitutional Monarchy of Vansalia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 40 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 juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and all guns must be registered. Crime is totally unknown. Vansalia's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the voski.
Vansalia is ranked 2nd in the region and 19,377th in the world for Best Weather.

Which, considering that there are only 3 states in Jezusowo, could very well mean that in Cookiea it rains only 3/4 of the year.

The Kingdom ofMinkdom arose some time ago! 
Motto: Don't judge a Mink by it's fur.
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Very Good (03.03.2005)
Economy: Developing (03.03.2005)
Political Freedoms: Good (03.03.2005)
Location: The Mink Islands
The Kingdom of Minkdom is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Mink population. Its compassionate population of 26 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 juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.
It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, meat-eating is frowned upon, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is relatively low. Minkdom's national animal is the Mink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Leeko nut.
Minkdom is ranked 3179th in the region and 66,471st in the world for Safest Nations.

As acting UN delegate for Promised Land, I have submitted the following proposal to the attention of fellow UN nations.
Quote:
Update school curricula
The present resolution,
RECALLING "Free Education", implemented August 19, 2003,
NOTING that the above mentioned fully covers pre-university education,
ADMITTING that the current pre-university curricula is extremely rigid and does not properly stimulate or reward intellectual traits like ingenuity, perspicacity or intuition,
DECLARING itself in favour of modern methods of teaching and learning, and against undermining the importance of new technologies in the process of education,
RECOGNIZING the quality of the turn-based strategy computer game series "Heroes of Might and Magic", created by New World Computing, published by 3DO and currently owned by Ubisoft,
EMPHASIZING the series' remarkable ability to develop the flexibility of the player's mind while nevertheless requiring the use of solid logic and analytic skills,
DEEMING it psychologically inoffensive in terms of violence, language and ideology,
ESTIMATING that the cost of implementing the present resolution will be close to neglectable,
REQUESTS that "Heroes of Might and Magic" becomes an optional subject in the school curricula.
The proposal needs the support of at least 6% of all UN delegates in order to actually become a resolution. I am counting on my peers and friends from Axeoth, Jezusowo, Ledgewood Valley, Mink Islands and others to submit their approval.
To do so, go to the "United Nations" screen (through the left panel), click on the "List proposals" link (below the resolution currently at vote) and type "curricula" in the search proposal form (page bottom).
Let's give our children the chance we never had!
Thank you.
EDIT: Already 3 approvals, only 145 more needed! Yay!

The United Socialist States of French speaking folks
"In God we do not trust!"
UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights:
Excellent Economy:
Fragile Political Freedoms:
World Benchmark
Location: Promised Land
The United Socialist States of French speaking folks is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 180 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and the Environment are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, and the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth. Crime is totally unknown. French speaking folks's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the canadian dollar.

The People's Republic of Neonic Carthage
"You can close your eyes to reality, but not to memories"
UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:
Very Good Economy:
Reasonable Political Freedoms:
Excellent
Location: The Exodus
The People's Republic of Neonic Carthage is a small, devout nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9 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 morass -- juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38%, 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 Information Technology.
The police force is on a recruitment drive, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is moderate. Neonic Carthage's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.
Neonic Carthage is ranked 66th in the region and 47,641st in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.

My crappy nation :p
The Dominion of Crappymania
"NO FAT CHICKS"
UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights:
Some Economy:
Good Political Freedoms:
Outlawed
Location: the South Pacific
The Dominion of Crappymania is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 156 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Uranium Mining.
Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, abortions are routinely performed in Crappymania's hospitals, and drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government. Crime is moderate. Crappymania's national animal is the Warthog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Crap.
Crappymania is ranked 3113th in the region and 56,910th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
