Country - The Holy Empire of the Wolfhood
Description - Basically you make your own nation. You give it the type of government you want (you can also be a tyrant :3), and then name the nation, the currency, national animal, etc. Once you've done all of this, you'll get an "issue". Issues are the basic issues you'd see in an actual government (I had one that asked if people should be forced to vote, and another proposing to lower taxes or change where the government money goes.) You can also pick a region to go to (I think they're basically like small guilds) and I think the different countries can interact (if one country has a problem, a neighboring country will be asked to help and such). I'm not really sure about that, as I just started about three day ago. It's another time killer.

The Holy Empire of The Wolfhood is a small, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning wolf population. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 10 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 Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15%. A substantial private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Beef-Based Agriculture.
Voting is voluntary, citizens select which government department gets their income tax kugs each year, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is moderate. The Wolfhood's national animal is the wolf and its currency is the kug.

The Republic of Combusken is a very large, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 72 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.
Vegetarianism is compulsory, organ donation is compulsory, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Combusken's national animal is the chicken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the arrow.

The Dominion of Arogance1 is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Arms Manufacturing.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Arogance1's national animal is the Yorkshire Terrier and its currency is the Rogan.

The Free Land of Flapjackia is a small, devout nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 24%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology.
Elections have been outlawed. Crime is a problem. Flapjackia's national animal is the breakfast bird, which frolics freely in the nation'###### lush forests, and its currency is the pancake.
Flapjackia is ranked 4927th in the region and 79,574th in the world for Most Income Equality.
