The Republic of Hydrapyrophobia (Although I selected anarchy)
"True freedom is without organization"

Category: Corporate Bordello
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy:Very Strong
Political Freedoms: World Benchmark
Location: the South Pacific
Regional Influence: Minnow

The Republic of Hydrapyrophobia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The small, corrupt, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A robust private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming industries.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Hydrapyrophobia's national animal is the boar and its currency is the kill.

I just did another one, and couldn't resist sharing it's awesomeness.

My idea is thus: people normally naturally gravitate to what their best at given the freedom to make their own decisions. Thus: a genetically engineered society where if it is apparent that there will be a shortage of say dentists with 18 years time a lot of people are born with the right mentality for it, good eyesight and a steady hand and are gently convinced that what the really want to be is a dentists. Some won't naturally but they will be allowed to do what they want to.

As a motto: "One Vacancy, One person perfectly suited for it"

With of course a government running without consultation with the people but still working for the people. A benign dictatorship if you will perfectly filling all needed niches in society with perfectly suited people.

Hot damn, I'm working for John Galt's terrifying new world order. That's a man with a plan, right there.

I'm firmly of the opinion that most of this talk is fruitless though: it's either going to be a zombie apocalypse, some sort of horrid plague, or a meteor strike that does for humanity. The interest lies in seeing which it will be.

Seconded. I would so be your purple ninja bodyguard/adviser. When you get whacked can I take over?

Ooh, a bandwagon. Let me hop on:

The Most Serene Republic of Goggalorostan [http://www.nationstates.net/goggalorostan] is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working 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 small government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9%. A healthy private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Goggalorostan's national animal is the brown bear and its currency is the arrowhead.

I'd make a benevolent dictatorship, à la Fidel Castro, and I'd nationalise healthcare, transport and industry, but not shops. I would also legalise all currently illegal drugs except Heroin, Cocaine, Crack Cocaine and street methadone. Also, software, music and film piracy would be legal for personal use. I'd make sure that the education system was mainly about learning, and as little about tests as possible, I'd have some CCTV cameras and a large, well funded and equipped police force, who have to do almost no paperwork. I'd also ban all fast food and advertising directed at children, and make 'using an unneeded level of political correctness' a crime.

I, too, wish to become a minion of John Galt's evil new world order.
