Due to the growing population of Apolyton, the people of Akiria feel that everyone should know a bit about its founder.
Akiria is a lush and green land, and is widely known for its exquisite beauty. It is a free land with a rapidly growing population, currently at 7 million. We believe in freedom, equality and meritocracy, and as such place large emphasis on social welfare, health and education. We have as low a tax rate as we can, while still having wonderful public facilities, and specialise in defensive weaponry, hi-tech industry, and the noble past-time of fishing.
We have recently passed laws giving the right to die with dignity, a media free from intervention, and a democracy free from corporations paying their way to power.
We have many doves, our symbol of peace, and our main aim is to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction through non-violent means. Our motto is "If we have no peace, we have nothing to fight for".
Akiria is also standing for the post of UN delegate for Apolyton. Please visit and, endorse us if you wish, here

why don't we have a single thread where each member may have one post where they can talk about their country, with the first post being an index linking to all of the posts?

I am saddened to hear that. However, I must defend my decisions. I will not see the civil rights of my people foundered by either quotas for ethnic minorities, or by subsidising the correct portrayal of ethnic minorities. I am saddened by the popularity of such a racist show, but it is not my place to ban it. While I do not allow hate speech, I do not see such a problem with politically incorrect comedy.
I will not allow my electorate to be bought into voting for candidates that do not wish the best for our nation, and have ulterior motives. Therefore, I will not allow corporations to dominate the political arena aswell, we must have a seperation of powers. Indeed, I do not wish to 'backbend' my people, i wish them to think for themselves, rather than be told what to think by a corporations. The media will also remain neutral in all political matters, and is not controlled by either corporations nor the government.

The Commonwealth of Akiria requests advisors from all nations on an issue. We have a tax rate of 24%, which rises for the wealthy. I did not feel this was too high, and I provide good services with it, but my people seem to. I have 3 choices:
Cut spending and subsidise business and therefore jobs,
Raise tax on the wealthy, cut it for the poor, or
Allow the public to choose where the money goes, more to education than business.
The 1st will ruin my public services, that help me promote equality, so I am warey of choosing that. the 2nd will promote equality, but might be going too far, I already have extra tax for the wealthy, and do not wish to stifle entrepreneurship. The 3rd will probably damage my economy even more, which is already weak. I can also dismiss it. I implore all nations to discuss the best option for the nation of Akiria.
My thanks to all who can help.

Chose the second option - equality of the people is important, and stifling entrepreneurship is something that should be encuraged, not shied away from! Don't let the wealthy corporations control your people.

As such, Centralis has received my endorcement for the UN. If however, he does not wish to stand for delegate, and as such does not want endorsing, I will withdraw it.
(I do not really wish to PM Markos or Dan again, as I don't want to bother them again)
