Seems solid, let's hope that's enough :$
Sorry for triple posting but by "if I did" I meant if I did like the idea of an absolute monarchy
Hello, nations of Europe! North Richland has just established an embassy program.
Challenge other players?
Originally from Maryland, US. Living in Stockholm, Sweden now
When you go to another nation's page, a far-right target button that doesn't appear to you on your own page will send you to the "challenge" page, and set you against that nation in a challenge. The challenge page is here:page=challenge.
To quote the challenge page itself:
Games are usually played to the best of 5 rounds. If the dueling nations are not the same level, the higher-level nation begins on a number of points equal to its level advantage. For example, a Level 5 nation will have a 1-point starting advantage against a Level 4 nation.
Nations always have a chance to win any Challenge: the game will play at least as many rounds as is necessary for the lower-level nation to finish ahead, assuming it wins every round. For example, if a Level 1 nation challenges a Level 10 nation, the higher-level nation will begin on 9 points and the game will play up to 10 rounds, all of which the lower-level nation needs to win to claim victory. So it's possible. Not easy. Not really practical. But possible.
And I return, with tales of strange far-leftists hailing me as "the supreme Premier risen again", and unintentionally joining a far right region! (Followed by the region founder saying, and I quote "I somehow believe you got a bit mixed up in the politics of each region. Socialism does not go down well here", menacing but not too unfriendly). But behold, I return un-indoctrinated with far-left/right politics!
I missed Europe.

That is a common mistake. The opposite of Democracy is not Monarchy; the opposite of Democracy is Autocracy.
Likewise, the opposite of Monarchy is the Republic.
All four combinations exist:
There are autocratic monarchies (=absolute monarchies)
There are autocratic republics
There are democratic monarchies (=parliamentary monarchies)
There are democratic republics

Misguided regulation increases risk in the financial system by limiting diversification. Larger, more diversified financial institutions are safer than localized or less diversified financial institutions. "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket" - it's common sense. http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic-letter/2006/may/bank-diversification-economic-diversification/ Banks should be invested in equities, in bonds, in commodities, in real estate, in securities, in derivatives, in everything and anything in order to minimize the risk that's associated should any one of those implode... As for the financial crisis of 2008, Washington, not the Manhattan, is to blame... Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government chartered enterprises which fed the housing bubble... by buying trillions of dollars in mortgage backed securities from lenders... The banks, knowing that Fannie and Freddie would buy their trash at a premium, had an incentive to fork out as much cash as possible, bundle those mortgages into securities, and then turn around to dump them on Fannie and Freddie for a premium. If, as Republicans had wanted to do, Fannie and Freddie had been privatized (with no implied guarantee of being bailed out by the taxpayer), lending institutions wouldn't have had a guaranteed buyer of sub-prime mortgages... and wouldn't have approved those mortgages. Most of Europe's initial financial crisis, including the City of London's, had to do with their exposure to American sub-prime... Fannie and Freddie triggered a global crisis. http://www.valuewalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Fannie-Mae-2-chart.jpg While Fannie and Freddie created the bubble, the Mortgage Interest Deduction didn't help matters - it's a federal income tax deduction that makes real estate more attractive for investors / speculators than bonds, commodities, stocks, etc (BUT ONLY IF THE HOME / ESTATE IS PURCHASED ON CREDIT)... so that, while equities didn't perform so well during the period, real estate boomed. http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1308&context=jcfl We wouldn't need Dodd-Frank or other regulation if (a) Fannie and Freddie is privatized and (b) the Mortgage Interest Deduction is either eliminated or turned into a less generous credit that's actually targeted at those who need the assistance vs. those that speculate on housing.

The New Promised Land is a socialist nation... as it has transcended capitalism. A stable job coupled with a living wage is regarded as a "human right." The nation has a high employment rate and a minimum wage level that's conducive to middle class living. The means of production are state owned. Artificial intelligence manages the nation's conglomerates - among the largest and most profitable in the world and spanning all industries and sectors. Karl Marx's dream of an economy for the worker, by the worker has been realized.
Propaganda, I say!

Monarchies have no place anymore in modern society. Off with their heads.
