Here's a link to my nation: http://www.nationstates.net/libertas_et_...

Here's a link the the new region: I created: http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_g... (I borrowed part of the description from this website to fill our "Worldbook Entry" - we can change it at any time).

I password protected the region, so if you guys end up signing up, let me know and we'll converse on there.

I am suspicious of computer games that purport to represent how a society works. Since the results will depend upon the programmer's bias as to what works and doesn't it can be used as a form of propaganda to 'prove' that a certain approach to governance is correct.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

  No wars. Text-based. Mostly for your own amusement to see how your country would be classified based on a series of decisions. We should start a Gulch region.
