Welcome to The Republic of Peace Garden

Found an interesting role-playing game site called Nation States. Based on a book called "Jennifer Government", you create a nation and rule it. You create its name, choose its currency, its flag, and national animal. It's fashioned after your own ideals and choices. My country "The Republic of Peace Garden" was just settled today.What follows is a synopsis generated by the game.

The Republic of Peace Garden is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption. The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 46%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry. Crime is well under control. Peace Garden's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the euro.

So welcome to my land. I know, too much bureacracy and "Arms manufacturing" but otherwise it really does fit into my choices. Oh well, in the days to come I will see if my country survives and develops.
