LOL


I just accepted this...

The Issue

Last night the respected tabloid TV show "60 Minutes" ran a report on Hazy Acres's rising divorce rate. What is happening to the nuclear family?

Damn, I'm pimp.

The Debate


  1. "There's a simple solution," says Pastor Felix, of the Catholic Church. "Divorce should be illegal. 'For better or worse,' anyone remember how that goes? We should return to the good old days, when you got married for life and stuck by your partner no matter how much of a drunken, abusive, adulterating disappointment they turned out to be."
  2. John Black, author of the hit book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Some Whole Other Place,' has a simpler solution. "If couples would just call each other 'darling' once in a while, there would be far fewer relationship breakdowns. A little affection is all it takes. So the government should make it mandatory: call your spouse 'darling' at least once a day, or face a fine."
  3. "There's a simple way to boost the marriage rate," says gay rights activist Al Clinton. "Abolish those arcane laws that discriminate against same-sex marriages. It's obscene to treat people differently because of their sexual preference. Besides, everyone knows gay relationships are more stable than straight ones."

    This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

Now the gays and lesbians love me! bongsmilie:peace:


And so, we have this so far... Euthanasia is legal, gambling is outlawed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is relatively low.

my latest decision



Woomeister Decides:

Cloning Research Promises New Breakthrough

Government Acts

The Issue


Scientists using cloned human embryos for research are on the verge of a medical breakthrough.
The Debate

  1. "It's really very exciting," says lab head Buffy Thiesen. "Until now, we've kept very quiet, to avoid being targeted by lunatic fringe groups who for some reason think it's wrong to clone human embryos. It's too early to promise anything, but we hope that one day we will have genetic cures for a whole range of debilitating illnesses. I certainly hope the government will support our work."

    This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
  2. "Well, if you have to be part of a lunatic fringe group to object to this barbaric practice, I'm a lunatic," says placard-waving protestor Chastity Dredd. "Of course it would be nice to cure these unnamed diseases, but at what cost? They're messing with the sanctity of human life. It's wrong, and the lab should be shut down immediately."

And mine! :peace:

The Issue

It's time for the government to hire a new religious advisor. Your people have narrowed down the candidates to:
The Debate


  1. Catholic Archbishop Buy Longfellow: boasts an excellent track record, having rapidly increased church attendances in his constituencies through the "Reaching God Through Guilt" program. Seen as a solid choice.
  2. New Age thinker Jennifer Longbottom: a left-field candidate with some radical ideas. "For me, it's not about the name of your religion. It's about discovering your spirituality in whatever guise that takes. Some people call that a cult: I call it taking spirituality to the people."

    This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
  3. Finally, there's Miranda King. "If I am awarded the appointment, I will immediately resign," the ex-schoolteacher has declared. "Because, frankly, God is a big load of hokey. I'll be doing everyone a favor by just shutting up about it

Yeah, you may be right...

After rereading and really pondering the outcomes... I've chosen 3 as well, it was my original plan, but then I thought it would allow no religion at all and changed to 3... let's hope 3 offers religious freedom to everyone.

Woomeister Awash With Red-Rimmed Eyes


Government Acts

The Issue


National marijuana consumption has hit an all-time high, with alarming results, a new poll has found.
The Debate

  1. "My factory's productivity is down ten percent since marijuana was decriminalized," complains employer Beth McAlpin. "And the number of thefts from the candy machine is off the scale. This so-called 'pot' needs to be banned in all public places. Let the junkies do what they want at home, but not in my workplace."
  2. "Whoa, dude, no need to get, like, you know," says Free Your Mind campaigner Larry Nagasawa, from his parents' basement. "This is, like, a personal choice issue, you know. It's like... whoa, just back off what I want to do with my own body. Don't let the fascists win, man. There are some hot new eckies coming in soon, they should be legal too."

    This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
option one is rather alarming, in the sense that people in the real world think of tokers as junkie thieves....

They're trying to eat my ganjapotamus!!! It cannot be! LOL

The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Hazy Acres's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that ganjapotamuss could be added to the menu.
The Debate


  1. "The fact is, the ganjapotamus population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Al Trax. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have ganjapotamus kebabs, ganjapotamus pies, ganjapotamus-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
  2. "I agree that something needs to be done about ganjapotamus over-population," says random passer-by Melbourne Wall, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
  3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Colin Shiomi. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The ganjapotamuss were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The ganjapotamus is part of what makes Hazy Acres a great nation!"

    This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

I just got asked the marijuana question, chose the same as you... here's Hazy Acre's current status.

The Colony of Hazy Acres is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.


The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing.


Meat-eating is frowned upon, the ganjapotamus is a protected species, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is well under control. Hazy Acres's national animal is the ganjapotamus, and its currency is the seed.

you could always start your own UN-animatron nation:mrgreen:.... or take mine over; tis the beauty of it all:blsmoke:

others are interested, and check their nation several times a day, just dont post here much lately... here's where the Humble Farmers are at the moment..

The Rogue Nation of Humble Farmers is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, cynical population of 9 million are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.
Euthanasia is legal, gambling is outlawed, all recreational drugs are legal, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is relatively low. Humble Farmers's national animal is the wasp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Hashpenny.

I think it's all in roleplay, when someone does a good roleplay of taking over your nation, you give them your password, etc... this game has been going on since '02... so we're all VERY new at what it's really about. But I love it!
