Do note that you have a higher than usual chance of getting cards of nations in the region you are in.

“What you call bribes, I call political donations,” divulges politician Velma Kasher, who hefts a suitcase that is bursting with cash. “Getting into public office takes millions of standard monetary units, and the average citizen cannot afford to do so. If you make it easier for politicians to receive donations from altruistic international investors, you could bring equality to politics and give even the most disadvantaged candidates a fighting chance. After all, if some legitimate Blackacrean businessman is actively interested in communist politics and wants to help some idealist change Evil Dictators Happy[land for the better, what’s the harm?”

Edit: In a perhaps even bigger thonk, I decided to promote an outdoor culture (because my weather stat is like -70) by providing tax breaks to businesses (although I'm not sure who'd be getting them, since private enterprise is illegal). Not only did my weather go down, so did my freedom from taxation, meaning that taxes are actually higher than they were before the tax breaks.
What.

No, nations such as Bigtopia, Blackacre, Brancaland or Dàguó mentioned in issues are all fictional.

...however, some of them are analogous with real-world countries.

Liberties above all......
Primarily economic liberties, of course, the free businesses will give out the freedom to their people, trust me.

Furthermore, they are based on real-life countries or stereotypes, with Bigtopia being an African nation prototype, Blackacre having a Russian-style authoritarian government, Brancaland being based off Canada (and Russia more rarely), and Dàguó is clearly based on China.

Some people created nations with these names.

As far as I know they are frequently retired though? Precisely to prevent people from doing that. But yeah previously (like years ago) you could technically take the name of "Issues nations" for your own.

Your nation's history, politics, religion, culture, philosophy, or ideological foundation. Anything serious or silly. It's all up to you.

Also: a new poll is up. Who will challenge Dickens?

A favorite of mine, especially if you are running a dictatorship, is to write objective facts from an external point of view that your government would not officially recognize, such as human rights violations.

You can also write a tourist guide about your nation, create a government web portal or offer more detail about particular historical events.

For example, I think Maxtopia might have used to been the name of Max Barry, the creator of Nationstates, original nation.
