Hey can y’all gimme your opinion on my nation stats wise so far?

I need to start my factbook

Ps I am trying to put public protest in my policies

Nursa wrote:The current state of China however, as I see it, is rather tricky : on one hand you have the communists in power and socialist ideology, on the other we see examples of rigid capitalism. Therefore I can't agree with you on the image of China as "the defender" of ASEAN nations. The ASEAN nations can win however from their position between two poles of power, like the Federal Republic of Germany did with the USA and the Soviet Union.

The way I can see China is a nation under the control of socialists with some reactionary elements within it, some of which may be temporarily necessary. When Lenin took power in the USSR, he instated the NEP as a means of boosting Russia’s power and bringing the fledgling nation upward. Eventually it allowed for the transition into a fully planned and socialistic economic system. Their system in my view was necessary for their situation. Think about it, the USSR just collapsed and left them without major ally. Many nations took heavy hits from this major leftist loss, such as Cuba, china, Laos, etc.. Every leftist nation needed to change themselves in order to build up their soft power in the world to defend themselves. Had they not, Cuba probably would have been invaded by the US long ago, and China and Vietnam would have probably undergone regime changes by now.

Now the market socialism they employ is strictly controlled. Billionaires are kept on watchlists, and what companies the government does not control are kept either under strict supervision or the representative government has a majority sharehold. Just look at what happened recently with Alibaba, their CEO was removed and replaced with a CPC member. In addition, the government is slowly consolidating companies into massive state enterprises under the control of the people’s republic, hallmarking a return to a more planned system and an Bentham abandonment of capitalism altogether.

Their current systems are to build up their soft power in the world until they can challenge the US and it’s imperialist hegemony. And we can see that it’s working. Right now the US is starting to pull out Cold War demonization tactics to paint any remotely leftist nation or ay nation capable of countering its power as a dictatorship somehow (meanwhile they funnel weapons to an absolute theocratic monarchy lien Saudi Arabia...tsk tsk hypocrisy).

As for China being a “defender” of ASEAN. What I meant was that they act as a counterweight to US imperialism and neocolonialism in Southeast Asia. If you look, nations like the Philippines are becoming more distant in their relations with the US, which had much more of an influence on economics. That’s what I meant by it “defending them.” It’s not acting like a guardian, but it is acting counter to the interests of colonial nation’s seeking to bring an area near it further into the western sphere of influence

Now as for the Federal Republic of Germany, yes they won out in a way I suppose...by siding with the world’s chief capitalist power, but the people sure didn’t. ASEAN can only prosper when they are independent and free from any entity and from any outside oppressing force. They must cut all of their colonial and neocolonial practices and begin taking the lead of nations like Laos and Vietnam. If you look, out of the former colony nations in ASEAN the ones experiencing the least neocolonialism, the best economic growth, and the best social programs are the nation’s that went in socialist directions. Those that didn't, like Philippines, Thailand, and Myanmar, are plagued by corruption and poverty. ASEAN shouldn’t “play” the two spheres of influence, they should side with the path that eliminates the western influence in their area. And definitely not bow to capitalism like Germany did.

Oh yeah true true. Quite honestly I’ve always found those days as a chore. You spend all your time the whole day protecting your nation, and then you wake up the next morning to find yourself either totally infected or destroyed smh.

You’ve got good stuff so far, although corporal punishment is something you might want to get rid of comrade. It’s highly ineffective and capitalist.

As for getting public protest, if you check the NSWiki or something it has all the issues that can give you that policy and what choices to select to get it.

As for my governmental policies and statistics, how do you rate my nation on your personal indexes from 1 to 10?

It was the result of a policy to castrate rapists. That’s why it’s in there.

If you abuse your tool, you lose your tool.

Hmmm a tad extreme imo. I’d rather try and work to rectify the circumstances that lead to the crime, and then take steps to help the victim and diagnose why the offender committed it. Corporal punishment doesn’t really deter crime quite honestly, in many cases it just feed the prison industrial complex

Seems pretty tight, but the super high income tax seems a bit much and no judicial system is a teeny bit sketch, and smoking although generally bad, is something I think people should have access too as long as they’re consuming responsibly.

7/10 would definitely live there

Fair, but like. There’s literally no defense for rape. Might be a tad extreme but better than throwing them in the government salt mines.

At the very least, it stops serial rapists

Personally I abolished the judicial system because for irl reasons where I’ve found that an adversarial justice system really is quite sh*te lol

Also rate Corvisia out of 10 plz :p

I'd say 6.5-7/10, mainly because I'm not a corporal punishment kind of person

I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I look at my stats and think ' this is a nice place to live and I would love here'.

Although we should all feel that if we are answering the best to our values.

I was most proud when I got my nation to go vegan lol.

That;s the next thing I'm going to try and do haha.

I've already managed to have only state press but also have the public protest policy (yes, I'm that amazing).

I just got the no zoos policy so I guess the last thing is the vegetarianism policy.

6/10 seems like a very nice place to live, but the dietary restrictions and gun control I wouldn’t enjoy, and seems VERY vulnerable to foreign incursion by a capitalistic warmongerer.

@me and I’ll rate your country out of 10 lol

“You Do Not Exist To Be Used”: Why Your Life Purpose Is Bigger Than Capitalist Productivity

"From a young age we are taught that our bodies and our purpose is to produce within effective normative means. That in order to be something of worth, we must prove our productivity. The ideology of productivity in life purpose extends far beyond the school system. Expectations of productivity range from being able to get out of bed on a bad day to reproducing children, riding a bike, or being successful at an academic task. In failing to be useful, we are told we are not of value or valued less than. It is those bodies that fail to meet social standards of productivity that are most often marginalized."

I messed up the public protest policy because I had it and answered something about murdering fascists and 'pufttt' the policy was gone....

Nation seems good, but gun control, id chips, conscription, and state media only seems like a very VERY dangerous combination which would freak me out too much to live there.

7/10 otherwise.
