Some weeks ago I started a country on NationStates.net. It’s been quite interesting, and I’ve been really enjoying the mix of bizarre situations on which I have to pass legislation combined with political education.It’s fun running my own country and seeing how my tax rate, civil rights, and so on respond to what I pass. I can even see what my citizens are dying from!
My country is The Matriarchy of the Mad Gods. I don’t have a particular agenda other than the sort of vague “what would the mad gods do?” although that’s sort of fallen by the wayside to my random whims. I must not be doing too bad though since I have a powerhouse economy and have won a couple of awards.
If you’re already on NationStates or decide to sign up, let me know what your country is so I can add you to my dossier!
17% of my people die from getting lost in the wilderness. An additional two percent are mauled to death by my national animal.
I think I’m doing very well.
Unfortunately, too many of my people are dying from wimpy causes like ‘old age’ or ‘malnourishment’, but one percent of my people are still dying from scurvy.
We are glad to announce that only 9% of our brave citizens die of old age. Makes it a lot easier to justify not having a retirement plan set up by the government.
Keep it up (but not too long)!
Pfft, 1% of mine die from “Suicide During Police Custody” and 5% die from “Acts of God,” so I think I have all of you beat. I think my national animal has died off rather than managing to kill my citizens…
