Then we must take the communists off the map and make space for people who want our business. I see your point. Then again, death is bad for business.

Depends on the context. Death could be bad but it also can have some turn ups to it as well.

We will defend our democracy with our blood to the last drop. We shall not become the puppet of foreign interest. If it's war you want, instead of acknowledging the existence of our nation, then we will have the regret to announce your people the little price that their greedy leader accord to their lives.
In the meantime, know that all of our population is ready to face you, as the mobilisation générale as been lunch.

But we sincerly hope that the Security Council of the World Assembly will pay attention to your aggressive behavior and properly condamn your aggression.

Then if you excuse me, we will meet again on the battlefield. May your people forgive you the mountain of corpses that will be sent back home. And keep in mind that diplomatic solutions aren't only for monkeys.

Ok, so I just decided to pay for my niece's wedding with tax money, and taxation went down. I'm no economist, but this seems fishy

Well.... Because you used the money of the contribuable on personnal use, theese fellow decided to stop paying their taxes. That makes sense.
In Dithmarse, all spent money by the government is reccorded and accessible to the public. With that, our citizens can always signal us problems which could have escaped to our administration. And politicians are less likely to take public funds for their personnal use...

Capitalism ✅
Communism ❌

At what moment exactly did i said that i was a communist dictatorship ? Civil rights and political freedom are both excellent in Dithmarse, while we are defined as "Liberal Democratic Socialists". A social-democracy at worst, as was Prussia then Germany, prior to 1914.

BOYS I DID IT. IM BACK TO BEING A CAPITALIST.

I could assist. My military and law enforcement are some of the best in the world.

Well... We are buying things from you, you damn imperialists. We are buying you oil. And banana, medicine, rice, O.G.M., cultural products.... At our conditions. Are you that angry that we don't open our interior market ? Well that's our problem if we don't want everything to become real free estate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Congrats! I highly recommend you to privatize some more industry though. My richest 10% are seeking for overseas investing opportunities.

Well yes, but tax rate and effective taxation are not the same thing. The tax rate should've gone up, while government revenue should've gone down. On the other hand, low taxes are good, so I have nothing to complain about

Who knows ? The creator of the game stated himself that not everything was supposed to make sense, given the fact that he was a little partial. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Taxation is theft.

United golden circle republic wrote:Taxation is theft

Yes... And no. It depends. If the people accept to be taxed, then no. If they refuse, then yes. But who are the people ? How shall they be taxed ? Why taxing them ? Is taxation legitimate ? Those questions have been asked throughout centuries, and nations have, each and everyone of them, their own answer.
Of course no one's really happy to be taxed... But if everyone enjoy good roads, decent wealfare, schools and capable military, thanks to the taxes, then taxation is a lesser evil.

Low taxes are good. Socialism sucks

That depends of the context. ^^
Socialism is an excellent way to make scales economies. And is better than liberalism if you want to reduce social and economic inegalities. As such, the German Confederation was, maybe not a magnificent, but still great socialist country.

I abolished tariffs & taxes went up.

Damn straight, there's no way in hell I'm paying almost or over half my income to pay for some kid's roads.

Or poor quality education.
Public schools are garbage!

Each of our citizens, even the poorer, are richer than their equivalent in some other richer and more populated countries. 33,50 per citizen, only the double for the richer, and we only have some 50 million of citizens.
Yes, our economy might not be the best, but we pay a lot of attention to the environement. After all, a good environment, means less deseases. And our social indicators are all in the green. And isn't it all that matter ? ^^
Moreoever, the world assembly consider that capitalism is alive in our country, despite our best efforts to destroy this disease. It's on our policies. So. Are we that bad and repulsive ?

Yes.

Which is why we at N.G.R.A
Have constructed thousands of private
K-12 schools across the (Free) world!

Truly breaks my heart that the real Portugal is socialist with some of the highest taxes in the world.
