LOL Millane. My government also took the position that it defeats the purpose of democracy to force people to vote. If someone chooses not to have a hand in shaping the government, that's their choice. (You seem to have circumvented democracy altogether Millane. )

However, it seems that my citizens enjoy elections, so there will probably be a high voter turn-out.

Is there any way we can initiate a new law, or do we have to wait for the issue to come up? (Interesting how there were three points of view on my first issue, and my countries motto is "Understanding is a three edged sword.")

I want to pass a law allowing small businesses. People should be allowed to run or own small businesses. However, I want to have a cap of $1'000'000 on the wealth one person (and a corporation counts as one person). One million dollars is more than enough.

If someone finds themselves with too much money, they can donate to one of my countries many well-run non-bureaucratic charities, such as the Non-Essential Health-Care for the Needy (NENCN) charity.

I want to have free health care for everyone for emergency health care (broken arms etc.), and absolutely necessary things like liver transplants, skin grafts for burn victims, cancer treatment. (Income tax is high here (48%) maybe that's why.)

People have to pay for their own optical health, but low income people would get a certain amount of assistance. (Like welfare, but just for healthcare. I still have to work on that.) People who can afford it have to pay for their own non-essential health care.

I also want to legalize euthanasia. Keeping someone on life support will be part of government-funded health care.

I added you to the list. 12 countries now.

I may put the listing of countries on the first post and just add the countries as people join.

You have to wait until it comes up. You can suggest something to be added to the propositions. But that doesn't guarantee that it will be accepted as a new proposition or how long it will take to go through the queue to come up for a vote.

Ok this thread is way too long already. I missed all of it. Can someone give me a summary?

'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

Well hopefully you will join OUR continent - The Great Continent of Entmoot.

Dunedain - most of the details are on the first page of what to do. Basically just set up a country and then move to The Great Continent fo Entmoot.

This has really taken off.

Basically, read JDs beginning post, and create your own country at NationStates.

Then move it to the continent of The Great Continent of Entmoot using its password: swedenusa

You do this after you've made your country, and are assigned a random location such as The Pacific.

To move to Entmoot:
Log in, and click the name of your country.
Click on your location (like The Pacific) and select "move to a new region"
Then you can enter the password and head off the The Great Continent of Entmoot!

Okay - I lost track of who was who on the list. That's cool.

You are so evil. But on Entmoot I'm the most evil.

By the way - the system doesn't prevent duplicate posts when you reload the page. it's something to watch out for. It's reposted my stuff twice because I have reloaded the page after entering a message.

I was wondering if you thought by posting it twice everyone would listen to you.

I wish the new game was out, sounds really cool.

Hey - I just feel that religion and spirituality is a personal thing and should not be supported or infringed upon by the government. I think the government should stay out of it completely.

There is a difference between being evil and being delusional. You are the latter.
