The Kingdom of Tofudisan
National motto: "In Soy We Trust!"

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: The North Pacific
Regional Influence: Minnow

The Kingdom of Tofudisan is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning llama population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Crime is moderate. Tofudisan's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the soybean.

The Kingdom of Dewking
"Live free and die."


UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Unheard Of

Location: the South Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow

The Kingdom of Dewking is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A large private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Dewking's national animal is the wildebeast and its currency is the club.

The Dominion of PolishMafia
"No Foreigners Allowed!"


UN Category: Right-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Very Good

Location: the South Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow

The Dominion of PolishMafia is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales industries.

The Empire of Gordonk
"Have Bus, Will Travel"


UN Category: Moralistic Democracy
Civil Rights:Few
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Very Good

Location: The North Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow

The Empire of Gordonk is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18%. A large private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gordonk's national animal is the gordonk and its currency is the donk.

Crime is a serious problem.

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Armed Republic of Bsoholica is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Bsoholica's national animal is the vulture, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.
