Daveation is Growing

When I posted about NationStates a couple weeks ago, my new nation was pretty small and the issues for the country were pretty tame. I have gotten a few other people hooked on this game with that post. Miranda started The Republic of FlipFlopGirl . Letha started The Empire of Hellnet . And Lesa started The Free Land of Lesatania.

My how things have changed for Daveation. See the description of Daveation below:

The Grand Duchy of Daveation is a very large, devout nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 81 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Retail and Book Publishing.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded. Crime is moderate. Daveation's national animal is the Geiko geeko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the gold dubloon.

Daveation is ranked 1st in the region and 4,768th in the world for Most Corrupt Governments.
