Yeah - I think most of us did. I know I did and I have been recommending it to people who have not liked their country's stats.

I added your country stats to the first post in the thread.

Location: the Pacific The Republic of Berliozia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Crime is moderate. Berliozia's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the berliozti.

OK, I'm in now... safely in 'The Great Continent of Entmoot'. Here's my country:

Quote:

The Republic of Ara-Norr is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16%. A large private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Arms Manufacturing.

Crime is a problem. Ara-Norr's national animal is the eagle and its currency is the minas.

Crime, huh? Time for a crack-down!!!

Dunedain, I think we're 'sister-nations'!

There sure are a lot of 'hard-nosed' populations around here!

Cool - I added your stats to the front page. I was wondering who was Republic of Ara-Norr.

I wish I could use my own link for my flag, making an image 6kb is damn hard, especially something I want, lol...

It's easier on normal things, but I, of course need to pick something complicated and with higher pixel counts

Val, my Kingdom is bigger than yours, neener neener neener

thranduil · 01-28-2004, 01:31 AM

it took you (valandil) like six hours to get in. lol, slow computer eh?

hectorberlioz · 01-28-2004, 01:33 AM

part of it now.

jerseydevil · 01-28-2004, 01:41 AM

Hector - I added you to the first post. We now have 16 nations in the Great Continent of Entmoot.

thranduil · 01-28-2004, 01:46 AM

new issue coming out for me in about 17 hours or 1 hour, not sure if it takes 24 hours from the time you joined, or untill it hits 12:01 am for the new issue to come

Dúnedain · 01-28-2004, 01:48 AM

These issues are slow, is it a full 24 hours?

I have mine set on two a day. They will process during the course of the night - of course this depends on what part of the world the server is. I think it's in the US though - not sure if it's east or west cost though.

The system will then calculate the results - we will also then get our first UN report and all that. The UN report will show who joined the UN, as well as additional information about the countries and the continent in general.

How so? Don't we both have 5 million hard-nosed, hard-working people?

btw - I decided to be 'The United States of Ara-Norr' - times change, ya know... and this IS the 21st century! Hmmm - wonder if I can send some anti-monarchists over to... nah! Then you population WOULD be bigger! Oh, and my motto: "Keeping the Faith"

Funny - kept timing out on the region thing at work, where I have DSL, but had no trouble with the at-home dial-up!

Mine is bigger cuz you are only Arnor, but I am the Reunited

nice motto, I was gonna make my Kingdom "The Faithful Numenoreans"

**Nurvingiel** · 01-28-2004, 01:59 AM

I put mine to 2 issues a day too.

Did anyone join the UN? Personally, I won't until our region is powerful and has a Regional Delegate. Even then, I'm not sure if I want to.

Dúnedain · 01-28-2004, 02:11 AM

It's funny reading what everyone's currency is, lol.

Mine is the "Dunedac"

Wonder how we both got 'barren, inhospitable landscape'... if that's from some random stuff (like my 'wood-chip' businesses - and are you the one where the economy is based on door-to-door salesmen?

) or if it's a determination made by how we answered the questions.

General: checked out UN page... countries dropping like flies! Is that what happens when you stop 'checking in'?

I took 'minas' - because it has a Middle Earth meaning ('tower' - esp as in Minas Ithil, Anor, Tirith - and Annuminas - but in some parts of the Bible, that word is a currency (though I think it's plural with the 's'). Wanna switch to the 'minas'??
