Has anyone played this game yet? It's actually a lot of fun. You basically create your own nation (in addition to its government) and depending on how you run things, it sinks or swims.

My country is The People's Republic of Sinopaland, a fledgling, socially progressive nation where Social Welfare, Education and Healthcare are priorities. I've made my own flag and everything. Anyone care to join?

Lawl, the #1 country is an Orwellian nightmare.

Eh. What the hey. I'll probably lose interest in a month or less.

Normally we Murikkans don't take none too kindly to foreigners, but y'all seem like some good ol' boys.

I'd pick a democracy but I don't feel like setting anything up.

It's not that hard, just quite a few names are taken.

That's why you have to put "land" or something like that at the end of your country's name. Try picking your desired name in a different language. My real name is Todd, which (in Old English) means fox. In turn, "Sinopa" is the Blackfoot Confederacy's name for fox.

All it takes is a little creativity. :)

The Issue

The latest "Harry Potter" book to hit schools across Totallyradicalia has stirred up the greatest controversy yet.

The Debate

1. "I quite enjoyed the book, until I got to the part where Harry summons evil demons to do his bidding," says religious leader Violet McGuffin. "Now that's just wrong. We need to restore some sense to this debate, by which I mean we should remove this book from the shelves, salt it thoroughly, and burn it."

2. Teachers union President Chastity Dredd says, "Come on, the book is fantasy! And it's a [darn] good read. I'd like the government to issue a statement of support for our teachers and librarians, so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like Christians."

Gotta love how the only options are anti-Harry Potter and anti-Christianity. And so...

The Government Position

The government is preparing to dismiss this issue.

B-52s On The Dinner Table?

The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Murikka's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that b-52s could be added to the menu.

Wat.

Yeah I agree, there should've been a third option.

I'm sorry for being off-topic, but wouldn't this be better suited in Video Game Chat?
