Nation States Update

So NationStates has been pretty fun. Right now I'm playing my nation more for fun. It's a pretty wacky insane place and just today its UN classification changed. Here's what the game currently says about my nation:

UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship

Civil Rights: Excellents, Economy: Fair, Political Freedoms: Rare

Location: Lost Continent

The Rogue Nation of Snoozeville is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 23 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving industries.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, organ donation rates have hit a new low, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is moderate. Snoozeville's national animal is the sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Tylenol PM.

You can check the ongoing status of my country too, if you are interested.
