join the UN too. it opens up more options. i hope to be the region's delegate

we are going to have to build our region carefully... I got invited to another region already so we will have to get strong... my country is little, yours is big already, but we will see what we can do ...

there are a bazillion regions. apparently sometimes groups of nations 'invade' a region by overwhelming the original inhabitants by numbers. thats why i made a password.

once you're members of the UN we should all endorse each other. there is a minimum number of endorsements you shoul have before u can be a delegate. perhaps we can organize an election when we're all eligable

Hmmm, economic collapse looms.

It really seems to be all or nothing economically in this game. As an anarchic nation I didn't want to regulate incorporation, but I thought private enterprise was fine outside of allowing limited liability. But my issue is:
The Issue

Big business, fed up with over-regulation in Dristhmy, are heading offshore in ever-increasing numbers.
The Debate
  1. "Good riddance!" says noted environmentalist Roger Mistletoe. "Sniff that air! It's never been so clean! At last, our society is freeing itself from the consumer death-trap! I say it's time to take the final step and outlaw capitalism once and for all!"
  2. "This is a catastrophe waiting to happen," says the Chamber of Commerce. "Think of the consequences! Without big business, where do the jobs come from? Where do we get our medicine? Our cars? Our latest fashions? There are dozens of useless regulations the government could abolish today to make life easier for commerce, and it's high time they did."
Small businesses create better jobs, big businesses create cheaper products. Thats what came out of the WalMart lesson isn't it? Without copyright laws anyone should be able to mix up medication in their bath tub and sell it to the community. Which one allows business without allowing limited liability?

you guys are right about the limited scope. Generally if I come across an issue with no satisfactory answer I dismiss it

Haha, I like taking the extremes and seeing where they take me. I almost dismissed that one. But darn it, I'm an anarchy. If that means no economy but subsistence farming, so be it. Go community go!

... I pray.

I hired the new age guru, lol.

I also dismiss issues, frequently. I changed my flag, now there is a marijuana leaf on it:lol:

I like your flag, although it's a little complex. No worse than some of the US states flags.

Mine is a cross between the english and canadian flags. I toyed with putting a maple leaf somewhere but it complicates matters and makes canada dominate

I like your flag Hermann. It looks like a real flag, whereas mine looks like something you'd see on a dorm room wall, lol.

I just messed around. Originally I thought of making leaves for the other corners, but decided on the single best leaf, besides ole maple of course ;)
