What?!

Things are not well in the Dominion of Queen Mauds Land!

My people have excellent civil and political rights... they can read and say what they want, and get to vote for what they want the budget spent on, but the economy is failing! I've gone from "Strong" to "Weak" in about four days!

What is their malfunction? You'd think that opening the nation to uranium mining would have pumped some money into the economy, but noooo.. Now I'm being forced to erect tariffs against cheap foreign cars to save my auto industry.

If you blighters don't start spending some Pebbles soon, I'm letting big business back in! I swear!

I have no idea what y'all are talking about, but I'm enjoying the heck out of reading it!

You've never heard of the online game NationStates (http://www.nationstates.net)? It's a game intended to publicize the new book Jennifer Government by Max Barry. While I haven't seen sales figures for the book, the game has certainly generated a lot of buzz. Check it out, form your own country, have fun.
