Welcome to the Constitutional Monarchy of Applethorne — a very strong economy, excellent civil rights, and excellent political freedoms.
The Constitutional Monarchy of Applethorne is a very large, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 68 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it’s difficult to tell which.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology industries.
Mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, ‘The Anti-Government Hour’ is a popular programme on many of Applethorne’s radio stations, the Applethorne Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime is a serious problem. Applethorne’s national animal is the polar bear, which is also the nation’s favorite main course, and its currency is the pound.
And it’s all mine …
Heeeeeeeeee.
It sounds remarkably like Canuckistan, except for the crime part.
wow…that game is still going on.
Cool.
Oddly, At the time that I quit playing “the peoples republic of free Canukastan” was the largest country in the “Canada” region.
Have fun, and I hope that the questions get more varied then they use to be.
You’re doing that again? I remember when you abandoned hanthor.
Yeah, I’d done it a bit a while back — I’d forgotten about “Hanthor,” though. Not sure why it attracted me more this time. Always interesting to see how the designer interprets decisions in terms of how it affect the country (thus my civil liberties seem to translate into high crime).
Varied questions thus far. We’ll see.
