So far the nationstates game i have been playing is going ok, I have been at this site more then tblogs just because the nation states forums are more open to debate then tblogs.  Well after play ing the game for about two weeks here is a slight break down of how my nation is doing.

UN Category: Democratic Socialists Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Developing Political Freedoms: Some

Location: the South Pacific The Federation of Jo-pol is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, cynical population of 20 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Soda Sales and Woodchip Exports. Punitive tariffs protect local industry, voting is compulsory, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown. Jo-pol's national animal is the tiger and its currency is the kollar. Jo-pol is ranked 905th in the region and 22,182nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).

However the region my country is located in sucks, I have to make due with what I have.  The game offers me an option to move to a different region but I chose not to make a move yet. The regoin my country is located is surrounded by other liberal nations.  There are some conservatvies nations also in my region but they tend to be dictorships nations.   

As you can see I am a member of the United nations for the game.  The United nations I feel is controlled by conservatives, I say conservatives because after reading the debate fourm alot of users said education is not for everyone.  The united nations just had a vote. and vote went like this.

what the GOP controlled media fails to the tell the american people is that Iran and syria already a mutal defense pact. Where it is agree that if on country is attacked the other country will come to it's aid. Young if a war breaks out get ready for a draft, and die for oil or peace what ever you call it.

February 28, 2004 -- IN a reversal of its policy not to enter into military alliance with any foreign power, the Islamic Republic of Iran has just concluded a defense pact with Syria. Signed in Damascus yesterday, the pact commits Iran to Syria's defense against "the Zionist entity," which in the Iranian lexicon means Israel.

The second section provides mechanisms whereby Iran and Syria will assist one another against aggression by a third party. The full text of the section has not been released, but Shamkhani and Tlas made it clear that "mutual defense" includes the commitment of troops and materiel to deal with any clear and present danger against either nation.

note third party, who is the third party it is america. 

when i have time, I will post why syria and iran will have the advantage on the ground if war was to break out.  I will mention the geographical advantages both countries have that iraq does not have, think of iraq and syria as afgan both countires have huge and numours mountain ranges that will be used staging areas and defense fighting postions.

Bush state of union address said this during his speech.  I did not see the entire speech, I will just comment on what I saw. 

Bush american must stop asbestos frivolous lawsuit. If you worked with abesestos which has scien tifically proven&nbs p;causes cancer.  Why should'nt you be able to file a lawsuit againist the abestos manufactor.  Seems to me this republicans they care more about there business friends then they do the people.  Like I always said the only way republicans will experience what the real working american experenice is if the republicans experience what it is like.  Abesetos claims are not frivolous. These republicans need to  work with abesetos and see what happens a few years down the road when they are dignosed with cancer.  Then lets see if republicans will still have their view on abesestos lawsuits.

Bush social security. Only three people pay into a system that 16 people withdraw out of.  Well if there were good jobs here in america maybe more people  would be paying into the system.  But republicans encourage outsourceing, which puts a huge strain on social security.   Most customers support reps for big american compaines are located within the country of India.  The indian people who work those jobs do pay the Social security for the american worker, its an american company?  If those customer support jobs where left in america.  Those americans customer support jobs would be paying social security tax. 

What a bunch a shit.  Bush, blames the social securty for being outdated.  But was'nt it republican economic policy of the 1990's that encourage outsourcei ng.  The outsourceing is what putting the pressure on social security system.  There is not enough high paying jobs, that deduct more social security tax to put back in the system.

Bush lets have temporay workers for mexico work in america.  But lets close the border to terrorrist.  The republcan's have they ever thought that the terrorrist might use the temporary work status to get into country, then just disappear.  What bunch of idiots.    & nbsp;
