Who else on here (besides Jeff) are on NationStates? If not, it's fun. It's a game where you create your own country, and decide on issues to improve your country's government, economics, crime, and all other aspects. You should try it.

My Nation rules.
My Nation is apparently against any form of religion
"Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison."
Which I find awesome.

My nation: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=nairouvi
Now, how exactly does relocating your nation work? If I join one, do I have to contribute to any debates with other players? Well- do I have to interact with anyone else if I move to a region?
And how do I change my flag?

In settings you can change your flag.
Check out my friggin' awesome new flag!
My nation is "Avowedly atheist", BEAT THAT!
I can't beat that, but at least my nation has no Political or Civil rights.
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_deep_elders
My nation is a religious country that has public floggings and executions, public nudity, secret police, and more, drugs in Mountain Dew, drivers that attach grenade launchers in preparation for public highway wars, and more. Homeless are also sacrificed to the Goddess Violet.
Attack me, I dare any of you.
Alright, I found it.
My nation is controlled by large corporations whose heads run for president, and control the government. People vote for their leaders, and have a decent amount of rights- although they mostly center around the free economy. People have total freedom over their political opinions.
Really, nothing special about it.
We have the same saying/anthem/chant.
Cthulhu help us all.
My nation is run by a dictator, and elections are outlawed. The main part of my nation is the police force, which runs almost the entire country. Criminals are publicly flogged, and public executions are held. Also, criminals are forced to become Gladiators to repay their dept to society. (Lol, in the description, it says "Criminals are thrown to the llamas.") Drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and the govt is avowedly atheist. Gambling is legal for ALL ages, and public nudity IS allowed. That's all I can think of at the moment.
May Cthulhu be with you.
My nation is pretty normal, I guess :P...
If you haven't already, you should apply to join the World Assembly.
Just what is the world assembly?
LOL, in one of the issues I decided to lower taxes for the poor and increase taxes for the rich... but when I returned the next day they changed the tax rate for the rich to 100%! WTF!? I wanted to increase taxes by about 10%, not take ALL their dang money!
The World Assembly is basically the UN.
On the little bar on the left of the screen there is a link titled "World Assembly". Click it, then click the button that says apply to join. You can vote on issues, and will be able to be endorsed by other nations in your region. It's pretty much like the UN.
Okay, but what's the benefit of being in the World Assembly? I mean, I'm one of the people who thinks it's time for the U.S. to back out of N.A.T.O. and the U.N., so why should I join?
I just got accepted into the World Assembly.
And while the World Assembly is like the UN, it is different in a lot of ways too.
I think the US needs to back out of the UN, but my opinions don't reflect in my Nationstate, obviously.
"sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes"
Hehehe, my nation does things like a boss.
How cute.
Well, my nation now consists of BDSM entusiasts walking down the street with their respective collars and masters; catholics burning harry potter books near to a gay marriage, while a lazy guard watches them over the street cameras and the government only effort is to crack down on 10 year olds selling lemonade by the walk.
The Kingdom of The Deep Elders is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 256 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales industries.
Homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, all beauty contests have been banned, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and otherwise healthy people are being sent to internment camps because they have VODAIS. Crime is a problem. The Deep Elders's national animal is the White Tailed Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Gold Coin.
The Deep Elders is ranked 46th in The United Kingdom and 38,628th in the world for Most Armed.
Top 10% for most apathetic citizens in the world
Top 10% of The United Kingdom for most Authoritarian.
#1 in The United Kingdom for most Extreme.

I provide my people with a comfortable existence even if it destroys freedoms. They are happy, until they complain even once. Then they disappear. Homeless a sacrificed, dissenters and traitors along with criminals are executed publicly. Transsexuals are sent to insane asylums, along with homeless who aren't sacrificed. Homosexuals are punished by death. Drugs, waste, and dental cleaning products are dropped into the water and not cleaned out. There are no drug laws. Breaking curfew is punishable by death. Anyone nearby is to become part of my nation by force. Immigrants are either sent to prison or work camps. You are always watched. Same as Simas, I have people in collars and latex and leather walking freely. Nude people too. Nudity and violence, along with racism are on T.V at all times. I am leader for life, and have had twelve assassinations placed on me, I've survived all and placed the bodies of the assassins outside the capitol building (We just received). If you have any STD, you are placed in a work camp. Press who talk bad about me are rehabilitated to say otherwise, or executed. Depends on how I feel. Huge stereos are in place in major cities, spouting propaganda in favor of my Kingdom and I.
Beat that.
I've got the exact same thing on my page, too.

The Allied States of Nairouvi is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 20 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 juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration industries.
Sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, teenage fathers are forced to join the army, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, and students are known to arrive at school in their pajamas. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nairouvi's national animal is the Flea, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Schnürsenkel.

My people have rights, but not too many. You are pretty much free to do whatever you want. You elect your representatives, choose what to buy, choose who your friends are and think what you want. Crime (and overall misbehavior) is extremely under control due to proper punishments for crimes and wrong doings- thieves are flogged publicly, teenage fathers are forced to join the army, rapists are castrated. I encourage people to treat eachother equally, but for the most part I don't force it on them. Any other decisions I make are based on personal beleifs and opinions.

Yes. You can go into the settings and change how often issues come up, though.

The Republic of Aroubus is a very large, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 101 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.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 4%. A robust private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Beef-Based Agriculture.
The Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Sea Slug, people caught mistreating Aroubus's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Aroubus's national animal is the Sea Slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Reise.
