The Government of the Rogue Nation of Stubbornia grudgingly admits that it is now officially part of the Apolyton region. "They wouldn't let us join UN otherwise", explains the newly elected prime minister in an interview, "but rest assured, this is just a formality and will not affect our standing as an independent nation". Conservative groups within the nation have criticized the government's decision and are calling for immediate apology and reaffirmation of the independence clause of the Stubbornian constitution which goes something like "We are One Nation under Nobody But Ourselves, and Whoever says otherwise is about to get an Ugly Boot-Shaped Bruise in his Backside" (translated to english from old nigh-incomprehensible Stubbornian dialect).

The People's Republic of Quebec
"Je me souviens"
UN Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise |
Civil Rights: Superb |
Economy: Fair |
Political Freedoms: Excellent |
Location: Eutopia
The People's Republic of Quebec is a enormous, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 233 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Social Equality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61%, 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 Book Publishing.
Genetic researchers have been expelled, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and guns are banned. Crime is totally unknown. Quebec's national animal is the snowy owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

The Republic of Guardinia
"Build a better future."
UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: Apolyton
The Republic of Guardinia is a large, socially progressive nation, renown for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 40 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales industries.
Guardinia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, organ donation is compulsory, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guardinia's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the guardian.

UN Category: Anarchy
Civil Rights: World Benchmark Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: World Benchmark
Location: Nuclear Aggressors
The Rogue Nation of Kentaku Bo is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service.

Surveillance cameras are banned, all recreational drugs are legal, voting is voluntary, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem. Kentaku Bo's national animal is the griffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the bo.

The Kingdom of Kukskallia
UN Category: Democratic Socialists |

Economy: Fair |
Political Freedoms: Good |
Location: Apolyton
The Kingdom of Kukskallia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 32 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 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Retail, and Trout Farming industries.
Blue two-headed reindeers are considered a delicacy, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Kukskallia's national animal is the blue two-headed reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the fitte.

The rouge nation of Shinjuko
The Rogue Nation of Shinjuko is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The small, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Commerce are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.
Crime is a major problem. Shinjuko's national animal is the scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the yen.

UN Category: Civil Rights Lovefest
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Struggling
Political Freedoms: Excessive
Location: Apolyton
The People's Republic of Unterhammer is a enormous, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics, .notable for its absence of drug laws and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 221 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 62%, 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.
Gambling is outlawed, meat-eating is frowned upon, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Unterhammer's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the paything.

The Kingdom of Deresgoth
"Don't rest before you rule, or the dagger finds you"
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Below Average
Information:
The Kingdom of Deresgoth is a citystate. It has not industrialized due to the competitive noble houses and a powerless king. The many guilds keep the economy going on so that the people are not living in poverty.
Since long the kingom is ruled by the dynasty of Idurian. The House of Idurian is weak though. The various noble houses are in open conflict with each other to gain control of the kingdom. There are five blocks of noble houses that oppose each other in the Royal Council. Non-nobles have no access to this council. It is said that the council rules the citystate, but it is unsure or so the people believe. It is said however that the true power is in the hands of mighty priests, alchemists and the Murderers Guild. The last one is profiting from provinging help to the rival royal houses and their representatives in the Royal Council.
The city has fine beaches outside the city underhill. The city itself is build upon a hill. The citadel towers obove the city. Towards the mountains there lies a beautiful forest with plenty of untouched nature, but beware, be sure that you take some weapons, best firearms, with you in case rogues attack.
Further information can be found at the Tourist Guild:
