my economy dropped from strong to good as a result of banning cars and stopping cruel animal practices, which also caused Eternal Cold to drop back to "Corrupt Dictatorship"

Imperial Varocia Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

The name means nothing.

"Standing against Socialism, One Body at a time."

I'm sure that means something, but I wasn't very awake when I wrote it.

UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: The Pacific

The Commonwealth of Imperial Varocia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 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 tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Soda Sales.

Surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a serious problem. Imperial Varocia's national animal is the Orange Duck and its currency is the Eagle Feather.


Right now I've got to allot taxes, and herin lies my dillema:

1. Education: The guy wants more money here. He says the Education system sucks, I cannot see how throwing more money at it will realistically fix it, but I selected this one.

2. Military: He wants a bigger army: no chance in hell

3. Social Services: I don't beleive in Socialism.

4. Tax Cut: You get no better than a flat 3% Income tax. Stop whining.

Which is the best option?

Well, that's always a good idea for hoping your people will make it better in the future.

3. Social Services: I don't beleive in Socialism.


Aren't you missunderstanding anything in ideologies and political/social components ?

quote:
4. Tax Cut: You get no better than a flat 3% Income tax. Stop whining.


The point is that the people deceide on their own how the money will be distributed under the political departments. That's the most democratic choice and perfect to individualize your citizen (i've always chosen it yet), unless maybe if they aren't intelligent (educated) enough.

All in all this issue is pure crap because you can't distribute the taxes, you just may give all of them to one department.

Power to the people !

Yeah, i know, but I still don't want to steal from my people and give their cash to a select few (the poor). The Commonwealth doesn't want to betray her founding principles so soon, if we do something with the people's money, it'll be open to all people.

The Commonwealth of Vienna Instolia
"Regulation is fun! Surrender Free Will!"

UN Category: Left-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Excellent Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Superb

Location: Apolyton
The Commonwealth of Vienna Instolia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its intelligent population of 8 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 32%, 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 Uranium Mining.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vienna Instolia's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollista.

This is going to end up a dictatoirship.....
