Well I'll be damned, my old nation was able to be restored. Baller.

I think I remember this game.. played it briefly two years ago, then kind of drifted on. It's the one where you get asked a crapton of wrangling policy questions that other users submit, no? I see nationstates2 (just add a 2 to the url to see a lil bit of leftover drama) closed down too, heh. I may pick it up again for kicks in the next few days if I have time, and will seek you all out if so!
This game takes me a long way back. I wonder how long before I forget about it and abandon my NationState again.
The Sultanate of KhanScum is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46%, 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 Beef-Based Agriculture.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. KhanScum's national animal is the Rabid Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mongol.
Good times?

Thestatusquo - and that, ladies and gentlemen, was trolling.
cyberbob - it doesn't count if you're insecure enough about it to have to openly pat yourself on the back
Has this actually improved? I played a few years back after one of these threads started and it got stale pretty quickly. I just remember a daily dose of survey questions.
