Yep, just looked at the list as well. It really isn't clear that the resolutions actually lead to any difference - does the website change the rules for voting etc if a resolution is passed saying the rule should be changed???? Not much point in joining if nothing changes when a resolution is passed. What say my fellow Nations?

I am of course in agreement, on some actual grounds. First of all, we are all new nations, and dont need to be bullied around by these so called "United Nations", second, I dont really think it does matter. I havent noticed if anything has changed. Perhaps ere the sun rises twice on the land of the Badger, something will change as a result of the vote.

I got the same issue as you Thranduil.
My Information Technology workers are on strike, demanding a 20% raise over 2 years! That's too much, but I don't want to fire the troublemakers either, that's not right. But I don't want Unions to gain too much power. I wish I could just give them a small raise. I think I'll dismiss the issue. What do you think guys?

I would fire 'em. At least that way the people know that you are paying attention to their issues, and they know that you will not give, teaching them discipline and loyalty. Or they might rebel. Its cool, though, if you need any assistance crushing the rebellion, I have an army that will help.

That is to prevent any worse situation. I'm not sure, of course, that it's the right thing to do, but that's what I would do. |

What's your country again Rad? I am going to give them a raise in hopes that it will stimulate our economy.

Thranduil & Nurvi... I'd be careful in either case. May be best to dismiss. Nurv - you already have a high tax rate... I wonder if the raise may only hurt your economy further by forcing taxes up? (assuming those are gov't workers) Thran - dismissing may do less damage than firing.
Anyway, let us know what your final actions are and the actual outcomes. I guess this IS only a simple game, but it'd be nice if we weren't so limited with options. ie - if we were able to negotiate something in between 20% and nothing... or find a good alternative rather than three bad choices. Also - in this game we have to be primarily reactive rather than pro-active. Again, proactive options would take a very high level of complexity I imagine. Sort of a game for 'armchair world leaders', eh? |

May I present you the 24th nation of the Great Continent of Entmoot :
The Constitutional Monarchy of Ranaland UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Excellent The Constitutional Monarchy of Ranaland is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning frog 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 devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 18%. A large private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Woodchip Exports. Crime is a problem. Ranaland's national animal is the frog and its currency is the hyla. Yeah. I may not have time to devote much of it to my spanking new country but we'll see.

I can't find some of your countries for some reason. Can I not read all of a sudden, or has everyone not moved to our fair continent yet?

Thanks Radagast.
By the way JD, my civil rights are good now (prompted by my legalization of euthanasia). How often are you going to update the stats? They will probably change every day, but you could do the stats every 2 or three days.
