Vitaaborg update
The following is today's report on the progress of Vitaaborg, including [my comments]:
| UN Category: Capitalist Paradise | ||
| Civil Rights: Excellent | Economy: Very Strong | Political Freedoms: Excellent |
The Federation of Vitaaborg is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
[what? i don't know which of my decisions confused NS but that's pretty funny. I guess it's my inconsistent choices on the role of business in govn't. For example, I didn't let business donate unlimited funds to campaigns, but I also didn't intervene in the cheese workers' union strike. ]
The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A large private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Gambling and Basket Weaving.
[My national "industries" were randomly generated... I like cheese.]
A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is a serious problem. Vitaaborg's national animal is the Droid and its currency is the Virtual Borg.
[Anyone care to move to Vitaaborg? I think that sounds pretty good... except for the crime thing, but they haven't given me the chance to correct that yet. Well... actually I chose to put money into education over police. Hmmmm]
Vitaaborg is ranked 54th in the region and 19,253rd in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
[Finally, the Basket Weaving industry is bringing some recognition to the Federation!]
