UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy Civil Rights: Average Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Land of Serenity The Republic of Kursia is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its burgeoning siberian white tiger population. Its compassionate, 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 large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Religion & Spirituality, with areas such as Social Welfare and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.
Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kursia's national animal is the siberian white tiger and its currency is the dollar.

The People's Republic of Crennial "Why live in peace when you can live in war?"
UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship Civil Rights: Good Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Few
Location: TRF The People's Republic of Crennial is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing industries.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Crennial's national animal is the a mutated alligator and its currency is the nickel.
My goals:Somehow go to war with someone, use a bunch of nukes, and get rid of all civil rights.
