well...I'm not sure where else to put this, but I've been playing this little game for awhile, and I felt I should share.
It seems to me that a lot of people on this board are very strong about their positions on various social, political, and economic issues -- about how they'd like to see countries run, and everything like that.
Well, Nation States
is a website that will let you create your own nation, and then every day you can choose a certain position on a political or social or economic issue (e.g. do we allow abortion? do we allow it only in cases of rape? do we pursue an anti-choice policy?), and your selected stance will affect the growth of your country. This is really cool not only in that it lets you do all the things you wish your government would do, but also to let you see what a country run by you might look like in the long run.
There's also a UN where every nation in the entire game can gather to vote on certain issues, and there's quite a bit more in there (read the faq if you're interested)
for reference..."[URL="http://www.nationstates.net/fashion_states]Fashion States[/URL]" is the link to my country at the moment. I'm pretty proud of it...although I wish they'd stop calling me centrist and inoffensive.
Enjoy!
