    Here is my bio

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Arhat Islands (World 35)



    “Don't Touch Our Stuff”


    1. World: World 35
    2. Government type: Capitalist Paradise
    3. Civil Rights: Excellent
    4. Economic Freedoms: Superb
    5. Political Freedoms: Very Good
    6. GDP: 38.35 million Oceanic Thalers
    7. Population: 13.91 million Marmosas
    8. Geography: tropical
    9. Continent: Australia in World 35


    The birth rate is average.
    The death rate is average.
    Tons of immigrant workers are flocking in.

    Industries

    Banana farming: 15.61 million units capacity.
    Cars: 2.30 million units capacity.
    Firearms: 3.97 million units capacity.
    Ballistic missiles: 1.91 million units capacity.

    Software: 11.30 million units capacity.
    Scooters: 2.30 million units capacity.
    Enriched uranium: 2.30 million units capacity.


    National Summary


    The Confederacy of The Arhat Islands is a medium sized, easy-going nation, remarkable for its harmony between citizens and politicians. Its population of 13.91 million Marmosas are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which. The average national tax rate is 22.58%.
    Banana farmers roam the streets of Mercacia peddling peels to passing clowns. Sheep roam the roads dodging cars and amorous farmers. Doctors are known to prescribe nothing but anti-biotics. Three-eyed fish have been found in local fishtanks. Sports cars have been spotted peeling rubber on the roads. "X-treme" scooter parks have sprung up around the country. Cowboys have come to Mercacia to get their fill of firearms. Scientists can be seen "researching" model rockets with their children. A dozen of the local beauties have file restraining orders against geeky game developers. A few movie stars have been spotted dining at the local restaurants.
    The populace is incredibly well-fed by its budding gourmet culture. The country is renowned for being very well-dressed. Only the top percentile of healthy drivers are given the privilege of being organ donors thanks to the abundance of medical supplies. The country has become famous for its well stocked silos of materials feeding industries all that they require. An abundance of energy has turned tales of appliances blinking "12:00" into urban legends. Workers are known for their incredible punctuality thanks to the world-class supply of transportation. More and more elite officers are graduating from military training. The country is known for its new renaissance of entertainment art.
    The Arhat Islands's fearless leader resides in the nation's capital of Mercacia, making grand decisions typically with a pet Marmoset curled-up on the carpet.


    National History

    People first settled the Arhat Islands in the 5th century A.D. They crossed over the great Reef from an area North of Nazzuben. Comprised of numerous tribes of the Marma and, to a lesser extent Nazzu ethnic groups, many years passed before any semblance of unity was achieved.

    In the 17th century, various navies from The continent of Dictatoria brought settlers to areas that would later become metropolitan centers of the Island chain. By the 19th century the various ethnic groups had largely become indistinguishable as one Marmosan cultural group and forged a political confederacy between the islands.

    By 1880 The islands were collectively know as “the Confederacy of the Arhat Islands”. The nation is inexorably linked to the Continent of Australia, directly across the straight from the Nation of Nazzuben.

    Modern Record

    –September 28, 2008—The Confederacy of the Arhat Islands enters into the regional “D.A.A.N”.


    –October 14, 2008—The Confederacy of the Arhat Islands enters into the international “Northern Alliance”

    Here's my country info:
    The Republic of Arachville is a tiny, easy-going nation, remarkable for its blank-check policy for politicians. Its population of 1.00 million comrades are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives. The average national tax rate is 31.25%.

    Doctors are known to prescribe nothing but anti-biotics. Druggies scuttle the streets of Trotskigrad, huffing swamp gas when they think no one is looking.A few movie stars have been spotted dining at the local restaurants.

    The populace is incredibly well-fed by its budding gourmet culture. The country is renowned for being very well-dressed.

    Arachville's fearless leader resides in the nation's capital of Trotskigrad, making grand decisions typically with a pet Emperor Penguin curled-up on the carpet.
    So I'm a nation with Socialised Medicine and lots of Druggies. Its like all my dreams come true.

    The Principality of Kleinstrom is a tiny, easy-going nation, remarkable for its wariness of politicians. Its population of 1.03 million citizens are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which. The average national tax rate is 18.33%.

    Sheep roam the roads dodging cars and amorous farmers. Several (about seven) small, pick-wielding men with a penchant for pale, sleepy women have emigrated here. Leather-skinned former sunbathers protest the widespread use of solar cells.

    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    By the way, everyone, Arach and I are part of an Australian alliance on world 79, but I also formed an alliance separately with Arach so far called the Backroom Mutual Defense Pact (BMDP). So if anyone, even if you already play primarily on another world, wants to run with us on 79 with a separate nation, that'd be cool.

    Erm, I just got blockaded by someone I have never interacted with before. Is this usual? Should I expect random hostility from someone going down a list of countries in their world and picking ones to start fights with?

    There Is no war yet, but I believe that random acts of war are a real threat if you don't enter into an alliance or two.

    Dictatoria is a continent and you can leave continents for others if you want. I think you need to be on the same world for alliances though and that can't be changed without creating a new account.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
