The Federation of Trans System Authority is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Trout Farming and Cheese Exports.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Trans System Authority's national animal is the onos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the credit.
National Animal = Onos

Pity really because otherwise its a fun little aside.

Population of 2.763 billion, with excellent civil rights and political freedoms. The 288th happiest citizens in the world! I think I might move to the Natural Selection region, the region I'm in now (Land of the lions) has almost been reduced to nothing...
When Oni attack!
The Issue
After several reports of pet Oni violently attacking, injuring, and even killing citizens, there has been growing pressure from public safety activists for the government to take action.
The Debate
"These creatures are a danger to the public and must be destroyed!" says Alexei Mombota, representative of the Public Institution for Social Safety, Equality, and Direction. "I was attacked by one just on the way here and I nearly lost my life! They're a public menace. We must shoot and burn them!"
[Accept]
"Why punish the poor things?" asks animal-lover Falala Dredd, covered in scars from previous encounters with Oni. "All they need is good hands to care and rehabilitate them. We need a government education programme to tame them and turn them into loveable pets. The one I'm holding right now shows that it can be done. They are all good, kind creatures deep d- argh!"
[Accept]
"I agree that we shouldn't kill them," says Colin Trax, a famous lawyer. "But I don't think the owner should get away with breaking the law! This is clearly a case of 'intent to greviously harm' if I ever saw it. All citizens should be held accountable of their pet's actions as if they had done the act themselves. It's the only way to be fair - after all, they're just dumb animals."
[Accept]
"Who cares!?" screams Aaron Licorish as he sends out his pirate radio station broadcast. "Just repeal any laws preventing us from shooting the things when they attack and we'll be able to save ourselves without this stupid, authoritarian, overbearing government and legal system wasting our tax money!"
[Accept]
What should I do!!! lol <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Poor Onos, First people want to eat them in my country now they want to kill them.
<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
....I say destroy all the onos!...Just leave one alive that your future generations can clone <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I think I just dismissed that issue, because sometimes the choices blatantly suck and don't revolve around my views, so pffft to them. In other news, my country is the largest in publishing, arms manufacturing and some other industrial sectors.
We got the guns, man! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

The Dictatorship of Hamolaya is a tiny, safe 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Hamolaya's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the goats.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Retail industry.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Xeranox's national animal is the scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the scol.

Orbital Armageddon?
Government Acts
The Issue
The space research organization in Gekkoiya has requested more government funding for space-related research and development, and the possiblity of creating orbital weapons platforms has become a topic of intense debate.
The Debate
General Beth Jefferson says, "We should spend more. But not just on exploration. We should start developing <b>Orbital Weapons! Space Marines! Armed Spacecraft! </b>We would rule the region, and look cool doing it! Just divert some funding from environmental protection, and BAM! Sci-fi goodies!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
Noted Scientist and pacifist writer Faith Frederickson thinks otherwise, "No! Space is a place for peace! It's the only place left we've got that we haven't screwed up. Oh, the space program still needs funding, don't get me wrong. But none of this 'military in space' stuff! We ought to divert funding from the military to education and space research instead!"
[Accept]
Fringe Group Leader Hope Washington disagrees, "Space is a total waste of time. We should spend more on stuff people actually CARE about. Like voting rights and protecting the environment! Forget that fancy-schmancy space station!"

The People's Republic of SkulkBait is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. SkulkBait's national animal is the bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hax.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
