Pekka - the rules you described are not quite right, but you are correct that it doesn't work real well with three people 
The object of Capitalism is to get rid of all of your cards. All of the cards are dealt out into X piles (X = how many people are playing). The top cards of each pile are turned face up. The person who got in first last round picks first, then second, and so on. Then, the first player gets X/2 rounded down cards from the last player (so with five people, the first player gets 2 cards from the last player, the second player gets 1 card from the fourth player, and the third player does nothing). The way it works is, the player asks, say, "Do you have double twos?" If the other person does, they have to take it (so they can't just find out the other person's deck), but if no, you can ask again four something else. The first player then gives that number of cards back to the last player, but it is the first player's choice which cards to give. Same happens for second and second-to-last, etc. When all trading is done, the person with the three of clubs starts. That person plays the three (and if he has any other threes, those as well) down on the table face up. The person to the left then must play the same number of cards, of equal or higher rank, or pass. So, for example, if double threes had been played, double fives could be played on top of that. However, if double threes were placed on top of double threes, the next person would be skipped and miss their turn. If you pass, you can no longer play until the current series is cleared. A series is cleared when either a) everyone passes and it gets back around to whoever played last or b) someone plays a number of two's (double two'ss if it's doubles, single two if it is singles, etc) down. The person who played last or who played the two's then starts the next round by playing any number of cards of equal rank.

1. Where do you come from. Country.
The United States of America
2. What is that country like? Some specs please. Population, few celebs if you have, and what is typical to your country and your countrymen? Nice things preferred.
It's fantastic! Huge, freakin' enormous, filled up with millions of absolutely insane, gun-toting people, the majority of whom have a real head for business and an entrepreneural spirit. We have crazy laws, weak beer, and we work insane amounts of hours here. Though millions of us own guns, the vast majority of our "warfare" is abstracted into the economic arena, where we practice constantly.
3. What is your religion and what are the basics of it. How it differs from Christianity?
Let's just say I follow the olden ways and leave it at that. Not so different from Christianity, though the Christians will never 'fess up to it, or to the fact that they borrowed heavily from our ancient traditions.
4. Your favourite word (and can't be curse word)
Gutterkin....made it up myself, and when you see a gutterkin, you know it. I don't even have to give you the proper definition of the word, I'll wager...
5. Marital status
Divorced. Married once, very young and stupid. Divorced 2.5 years later, immensely wiser for the experience. A solid learning experience, so that next time, I'll get it right.
6. Race. What is the quick history of your races most important things in history?
Celtic. A proud, free people....probably your ancestors...
7. What is your favourite hobby?
Hands down, writing...workin' on the next novel.
8. What is the most proud moment of your life? The highlight.
Hasn't happened yet, but there have been some important minor victories so far, including my first home (coming from nothing, t'was quite an accomplishment for me personally), and publishing my books. Will report more later when I get a big win...
9. Your worst bad habit
I smoke when I write and sometimes when I drive. Not a chain smoker, mind you, but I know I should stop. Bah....life is only interesting when you have a few vices. Screw stopping!

1. Where do you come from. Country.
Some call it Greece, some Grecia, Grieckenland, Grece, Ynanistan, Hellas or Hellada.
2. What is that country like? Some specs please.
Population, few celebs if you have, and what is typical to your country and your countrymen? Nice things preferred.
It's a small piece of land stubornly situated at the South East edge of Europe. Population is around 11 million. It's quite a beautiful country. Very diversified nature. You can find almost everything the world has in it. Like a micrography of the world. The urban centers are ugly.
About Greeks.... some oldfart Egyptian scholar said it best some millenia ago and it still holds water so I'll just quote him.
quote:
O Solon, Solon, you Greeks are eternal children |
From Kritias and Timeos by Plato.
3. What is your religion and what are the basics of it. How it differs from Christianity?
Agnostisism
4. Your favourite word (and can't be curse word)
Triumph!
5. Marital status
Single with 4 girls on my mind at present.
6. Race. What is the quick history of your races most important things in history?
Greek. I wasn't really "taught" about "races". Our history is well documented for such a small country.

1. From the USA
2. I think it's rather nice. We've got just about every time of climate and terrain type there is (except for perhaps jungle.) Depending on where you go, the people are either very very friendly, or complete *******s. Most americans i think are hard workers, but we love to party and have a good time. We have more sex on average than people from any other country in the world 
3. i am an atheist
4. pontificate
5. single
6. according to political correctness, we are responsible for every Bad Thing that has ever happened, including N-Sync and the Backstreet Boys.
7. too many to list here. reading, computers, music, drinking, video games, and on and on. .
8. hasn't happened yet. i imagine when i have children, they'll all start piling up after that.
9. probably smoking.

1. Where do you come from. Country.
Canada, on the West Coast
2. What is that country like? Some specs please. Population, few celebs if you have, and what is typical to your country and your countrymen? Nice things preferred.
Canada?
We are the second-largest country in the world, yet we only have 30 million people.
The most famous celebrity is probably Wayne Gretzky probably the best hockey player ever.
The country ranges from Arctic Wastelands and glaciers to the Rocky mountains, to flat prairies, and the almost mediterreanean climate of Southern BC, where you will never see snow.
3. What is your religion and what are the basics of it. How it differs from Christianity?
I'm a Christian, an evangelical Mennonite.
To understand the basics, look at the Sermon on the Mount.
Mennonites are a branch of the anabaptist tradition, in that we only baptise believers. What distinguishes ourselves from other Christians is our pacifism. My particular church has a rather evangelical bent as compared to more conservative churches, hence we tend to attract people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
4. Your favourite word (and can't be curse word)
There are many that I like to use.
My word of the moment would be concise.
5. Marital status
Single.
6. Race. What is the quick history of your races most important things in history?
We founded the world's largest Empire. I'm a Brit more than anything else.
7. What is your favourite hobby?
Reading.
8. What is the most proud moment of your life? The highlight.
Probably recieving my IB diploma in High School or getting baptised with my best friend.
9. Your worst bad habit
I talk to myself late at night and scare my housemates.

"1. Where do you come from. Country."
Krautland...err... Germany 
"2. What is that country like? Some specs please. Population, few celebs if you have, and what is typical to your country and your countrymen? Nice things preferred."
Pop ca. 80 million. People are described as unfriendly and arrogant in the north, and friendly in the south. of course it is all cliche. In Berlin most people are unfriendly on the first look, but have a good core.
Typical - good beer, good cars. Whining about the past (left: all was bad, right: all was oh so great). Bad tv shows (with some great exceptions).
Lederhosen is only typical for Bavarians
"3. What is your religion and what are the basics of it. How it differs from Christianity?"
Atheist, but not hostile to christianity. A lot of my values derive from there, but I donīt believe in god.
"4. Your favourite word (and can't be curse word)"
Scruffy (name of a dog of a girl I know) I find this name sounds so funny and I fits so well to the stupid little bastard
"5. Marital status"
Single.
"6. Race. What is the quick history of your races most important things in history?"
Ar... ermm...Human
"7. What is your favourite hobby?"
Making 3d graphics on my computer.
"8. What is the most proud moment of your life? The highlight."
Hm, most proud, donīt know.
"9. Your worst bad habit"
Iīm a lazy bastard However, once I got my ass off I can work on something quite concentrated, but until then....

*yawn* I'm bored and like answering questions.
So I want to learn something about you. Well not YOU, but something about you.
1. Where do you come from. Country.- United States of America. Specifically the great state of Nevada.
2. What is that country like? Some specs please. Population, few celebs if you have, and what is typical to your country and your countrymen? Nice things preferred.
Population? some where around 280 million I think. Celebs? All of them. Even the Europeans are often american celebs. typical? well that is obvious I guess. food, hamburgers and such. over indulgence in everything that feels good.
3. What is your religion and what are the basics of it. How it differs from Christianity?
I used to kinda sort consider myself a christian. The more time I spend at Apolyton, the more athiestic I become. If I burn in hell after I die, I'm coming back to haunt all of you mother****ers for turning me into an athiest 
4. Your favourite word (and can't be curse word) can't be a curse word? that sucks. Hmm. My favourite word is desert. Hell I don't know. That's just a guess. I like lots of words.
5. Marital status: single- I'll probably be that way for a long time
6. Race. What is the quick history of your races most important things in history? Caucasian pretty much. But I do value the native american blood in me. I do value some native american ideals. Even before I knew I had this blood in me, I've always identified with native americans.
7. What is your favourite hobby? I don't have many hobbies. I pretty much hate everything. My favourite hobby is computer games. That would be followed by hiking, posting at Apolyon, football, travelling etc.
8. What is the most proud moment of your life? The highlight. I don't have many of these. I've led a fairly uninspiring life. I suppose graduating from the nuclear power program would be my most proud moment.
9. Your worst bad habit. I have many of these. Alcohol probably. though I wouldn't call it a habit. But I am too close for comfort. I have many nervous habits like toe tapping, finger tapping, scratching, picking my skin, cracking knuckles. I'm just a nervous person. I also have bad habits like jerking off, eating. But those don't bother me too much.
