The Nation Game - Mushroom Face - 02-11-2014
Background Information:
A few years ago I was on another forum, and we played a game simply labelled as "The Nation Game", and it sparked many game ideas. Which also lead to several forums, and actually many other things to be created from this generic idea. However, I'd like to bring back to the routes. It all started on forums like these, with kids like you. We played D&D, and quested. So I'd like to bring it back. I hope you guys enjoy it. I'll be hosting this game.

It all started on forums like these, with kids like you. We played D&D, and quested. So I'd like to bring it back. I hope you guys enjoy it. I'll be hosting this game.
Some Simple Pre-cursor Game Rules:
- Avoid posting if you're eliminated, or unable to compete in these games for any reason
- Treat everyone with respect
- The Game Host's (me) say is final
Spots Open To Play:
Country Owners
1.) God (@Leader) DEAD. 5TH PLACE
2.) Plad Vutin (@Alex) DEAD. 2ND PLACE
3.) Fuhrer (@Singularity) DEAD. 3RD PLACE
4.) Mr. Happy (@"Happiness") DEAD. 4TH PLACE
5.) President Saikou (@Saikou) WINNER. 1ST PLACE
How To Play
The rules are simple, you are given a certain amount of information and you buy a country; as for misc players they are either trying to steal those countries or cause problems. There are several occasions where they may actually help you.
You must try to govern your country in order to eventually either reach a scientific victory (solving world hunger, and world peace), or conquering the world.
Each post you make is some kind of action, and I will respond to the effect of the action.
Examples
If player one decides to attack player two, I decide the causalities.
If player two decides to launch a nuclear missile without realizing it doesn't have any, I'll intervene.
Each country bought comes with certain perks.
Honestly though, playing is explained through playing.
Things To Remember
Time in this game is relative to a real life month being give or less an ingame year.Soliders:
You're soldiers are separated into three catergories.
Air, Land, and Sea. Other Misc units may come along as the game evolves.
Ex: Space Laser, Nuclear Submarine, Spy, etc.
Ex
A player can have
Air: 10 soldiers, Land: 50 soldiers, Sea: 25 soldiers
Approval Rating:
This is a big one, this shows how much the people of your country approve of you. A 100% approval means everyone loves you.
Money:
At the beginning of the game you are given an amount of money, and are required to spend wisely and earn your investment back.
LETS BEGIN.
WHERE WE ARE
Initial Players, you all start with. 20 Million Currency, 500 Troops, and Neutral (50%) approval.
Countries For Sale:
![[Image: 316s1hj.jpg]](http://i62.tinypic.com/316s1hj.jpg)
This island is unexplored, and is a gamble. You won't receive many benefits with this one, except that it is great for resources because none have obviously been stripped here, and the cost is low.
Price - 1 Million Currency
2 - Madagascar
The island has broken into recent civil war, and is calling for a new leader. Island provides a good base infrastructure but despises governments that aren't a democracy. You'll have some rebels to deal with if you aren't of the democracy type. (Other two parties are handled by the game host aka me in a democracy or by two other players that you'd have to select). Another downside of this island is the expense.
Price - 15 Million Currency
3 - The Philippines
A lot of anarchy islands, known for some resorts here and there but spotty. A democracy might have trouble forming here, and it would help if a dictator could force unite these people. However, either way if you take this country you'll have to face some rebels. On the upside, you'll have plenty of workers if you pay them right or... enslave them. The infrastructure here is mixed and mashed on the islands. Defending them would be an interesting story.
Price - 5 Million Currency
4 - Iceland SOLD
Disease has left the island's population desolated, and few remaining have stayed and it will be an easy land to buy. However with the large amount of land, you'll be faced with a higher price. Iceland is bound with a plenty of resources and a good vantage point for protection as long as you don't piss off the wrong people. However because Iceland is so isolated from the rest of the world, you'll have to worry about natural disasters affecting you more than the other countries.
Price - 10 Million Currency
5 - Alaska SOLD
Breaking away from the United States due to failing government, you'll easily gain the enemy of the United States. However you gain Alaska's great working force, resources, and land. You'll also gain a minor approval rating.
Price - 20 Million Currency
ALL COUNTRIES SOLD.

You're doing this right. No worries.

Be sure to put your units to work, in military, agriculture, and industrial fields. You have a large country to manage. It may be a good idea to put the free market into act. You'll have to do some democratic work.
Your units may decrease overtime due to the possibility of the disease returning.
Previous Approval: 50%
-5% Approval due to grieving period of recently lost ones to the plague
+10% For Democratic Vote! Mr. Happy won with the slogan "Happiness kills plague!"
+10% For showing the public to work without the fear of disease
Current Approval: 65%
The people love you, keep up the good work. Especially with the new acquisition of government, and recent epidemic.

You are broke, you may want to try to push through Congress some reforms. Either in the way of adding more government programs or unrestricting government regulation on the free market.
Previous Units (Unplaced): 500

Current Units: 700,500
Previous Approval Rating: 50%
-5% for attempting to ban something ultimately needed
-5% rising tensions with the United States
+3% for winning the election! "President Saikou wins elections in Alaska with his charm!"
Current Approval: 43%
NEWS FOR YOU!:
Tension with the United States rises, and they have stopped all trade with you. Several spy planes have been spotted worrying citizens. You can either try to talk with the United States, or begin some kind of preparation for war!
Congress has denied your bill for outlawing shoelaces. The late night shows make fun of you, and call you a joke. The small few (3%) who actually agree with you, make up excuses of why its a safety hazard.
Approval rating is down, some people are unsure of you with the impending war.
You have a lot of population still transition to the new government, you must prepare them, and you need to build a defensive army or an offensive. War is at its brink. Do something to fix this.

Your government has decided to start its own currency, instead of renaming the currency.
Currently you have
10 Million Rods which is equal to 10 Million Currency
1:1 Ratio, expect this to change as Man Rod Isle evolves.
You Requested:
Military: 4,500 (2,000 air, 500 land, 2,000 sea)
Industrial: 6,000
Medical: 3,500
Scientific research: 1,000

Firefighters: 500
Natural Disaster watch: 1,000 (predict natural disasters)
Fisherman/womans: 20,000
Import/export: 3,000
Unemployed: 8,000
The government likes the estimations, however worries about the possible effects if quotas aren't reached.
You're teacher to student ratio is very high. Allowing for an emphasis on training, as a result you have a low drop out rate.
Everyone seems to know someone whose in the military or the police department, they feel safe. With safety some people try to break the law.
The natural disaster watch reports that nothing is a mist right now, but could use some better equipment. (Buy off the global market for 1 million currency, or make friends with another country and try to get a better deal).
Oil is doing well for you, but beware possible safety precautions may not be taken due to the democratic society doesn't force regulations as harshly. Don't worry, this is standard.
Your Attempted Acts
Get advertising for more sex (increase population)
Drill for oil on the shore
Free healthcare
Leave financial business to congress
Your Results
Several brothels have popped up due to the advertising for sex, you may either endorse this, limit it, or completely outlaw. Beware of STDs, and hire birth rates.
Oil is bringing in a stable source for the economy currently, nothing outrageous. Prices could rise if you decide to sell excess to a foreign nation, however increasing the wealth of the nation.
Free Healthcare was pushed after a long fight, but Socialists have a strong position after the plague.
Congress immediately agreed to handling the financial business of the country, but beware this could affect you later.
Current Population: 69,000
Military: 4,500 (2,000 air, 500 land, 2,000 sea)
Approval Rating: 75% The people enjoy having sex, and the safety net that is forming
Currency: 11 Million Rods. Your brothels are increasing your cash a good deal
Texas, Part II
@Saikou
Acts:
Talk with the United States.
Cut taxes. Eliminate income taxes.
Increase government regulation on free market.
The United States is very angry with it's own president, and the people of Alaska. They have sent an ambassador to negotiate terms. The US is interested in your oil and gold.
What is your move?
Cutting taxes will lower your income, however it greatly improves your approval.
Government regulation may either ruin your economy, or make it well. The chance of this will be left up to fate. As for now, it seems to be working well. Yet, it seems that a black market on some goods is starting to arise.
Units (Unplaced): 690,500
Government Employees: 10,000 Your government has increased do to regulation
Currency: 250,000 Currency. Your currency is low, however several countries are interested in trading for your oil, lumber, fishing, and gold. These countries include Russia, Canada, and the United States. It would be a good idea to contact them.
Approval Rating: 62% As a result of cutting taxes, everyone loves you right now. However if you keep this up long you won't be receiving a great income for government unless you find something decent to export.
Iceland could use your Manpower, consider creating a work exchange program.

I decide to fund the natural disaster watch with 1,000,000 Rods for better equipment.
I try to push a act regulating laws for the brothels. Mainly for making sure the prostitutes are treathed right.
I also decide to try and sell excess oil on the global market.
