If you could create a country from scratch

If you could create a country from scratch, in every aspect, what would it be like?

What would the politics be like? How would it be run?
The culture?

You should check this game out. NationStates

It gives you a chance to discover the answer to that question. It's been a long while since I played. I think it's time for the birth of a new nation.

I remember that. I joine it but I've forgotten the name of my country so I can't log in. Anyway I couldn't make sense of it. From time to time you get a question or a dilemma, and you give your answer. But then what? And the forum, I really don't know what everyone is going on about. It's a good idea thought but there are way too many countries, too much going on, it's confusing.

Doing well on mine. Keeping most things in balance. Hard to keep the taxes down. Everything else is good though.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

It would be like this: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=libertarian_isle

Maximum liberty, maximum freedom, minimal government.

You have my vote.

Oops, that's right -- I don't get one.


Meh, fuck it. Beats Yahweh.

You can be the Pontifex Maximus. I'd prefer one of those religions with sexy priestesses screwing like bunnies but you do what you want.
