Nationstates

[ZenStalinist]

Anyone else go on this 'game'. Basically, you create a simulated nation by stating your political views, on various issues, you must choose positions on issues put before you daily, etc, and you get a description of what the nation would be like if you run it. You can also optionally join UN, etc.

Only needs a couple of minutes a day, or less.

My nationstate is here:

The fact I started the nation when nationstates was relatively new partially accounts for the unimaginative name, in that most names weren't taken, so I didn't have to be imaginitive!

If any of you want to see my pre-political political views, before I was really involved in politics, but still held strong views (i.e. my views as a kid):

Note that this one is not in the UN, mainly because one is only allowed on nationstate in the UN per person, but also because I didn't know how the UN worked, and thus was extremely suspicious of it (really for that sole reason!)

And there was me, thinking that someone with the nick "ZenStalinist" would have been some kind of capitalist

So you have gone from "Few" political freedoms and a "Good" economy to "Rare" political freedoms and a "Reasonable" economy.

The left/right scale isn't used in NationStates. Because it's one-dimensional, it's not a very accurate way of measuring your politics.

Oooh, now that's good. I find the left-right scale does leave something to be desired. I am in many ways a left-wing capitalist, that really causes some problems when you try and explain it to someone selling The Morning Star. In the same style I know a right-wing Marxist...
