Has anyone played this? I tried to create an anarcho-capitalist nation. Clearly the game is biased towards some sort of mixed democratic system.

Ok, the Free Land of Lazy Fare just joined the Lands of Anarcho-Capitalism.  I don't know how to make my economy 100% Private Sector though, so we may get ejected...

Sorry but no compromises. You simply need to go through the options which makes government do as little as possible. You must hav selected some bad options when you started the nation.

I also made the region The Lands of Anarcho Capitalism (http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_lands_of_anarcho_capitalism).

Libertopium Decides:
"Give Us Money!" Quoth the Poet

The Issue

The National Poetry Society of Libertopium is demanding government-funded programs to promote the arts, especially poetry.
The Debate

   1. "We need government help to promote culture." says Buffy Shiomi, chairperson of the National Poetry Society of Libertopium. "Poetry is the soul of our nation, the very pulse of humanity! We will ultimately be judged according to our contribution to artistic enlightenment. In other words, please provide funding for our humble mission to bring the beauty of poetry to the masses!"


   2. "Artists and poets should support themselves, like everyone else," replies Zeke Thiesen, spokesperson for the Capitalism Now Party. "The suffering taxpayers should be given a break. In fact, we should abolish all government subsidies for special interest groups."


   3. "Poets--who needs them?!" scoffs Chastity Silk, Chairperson Emeritus of the Troglodyte Coalition. "These long-haired troublemakers should all be lined up against the wall and shot! That would be far more entertaining than reading some dumb poems!"

It automatically thinks your nation must have a massive rich-poor divide.  >:( So it is stupid.

And your nation does qualify for The Lands of Anarcho Capitalism.

It's biased to an anti-libertarian creator.

Just like the real world.  It's not biased, it's just realistic.

Baseless arguments.

Based in reality, so, no, not at all baseless unless you're disconnected from reality (like yourself).

Once I've finished a current project I might work on my own iOS and website version of this game which isn't harsh to libertarianism.

For example, a statist society would have an easy time conquering things. It would also be able to develop useful things that a libertarian society wouldn't bother with due to a lack of profitability by dumping money at it (for example, aeroplanes and a lot of other things were developed by dumping money into them during wartime, meaning they would be far less used in a world that was libertarian at the time).

Remember Statism has its flavors, too. Maybe give communist countries an army recruiting bonus, republics the 'throw money at it' one, etc.

The Police department is considering installing surveillance cameras in all major public areas, in an effort to crack down on crime.
The Debate

   1. "This is a blatant invasion of the right to privacy!" says libertarian web site operator Klaus Barry. "Now I can't even go out in public any more without being watched? And you know this is just the beginning. Today there are cameras in city streets. Tomorrow they're peering through your bedroom window."


   2. "Hey, I've got news for you," says Police media liaison Violet Licorish. "When you're out in public, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. These cameras will be extremely helpful in reducing the national crime rate. Frankly, I can't see what the fuss is about."


   3. "This 'slippery slope' argument has got me thinking," says Police Minister Jean-Paul Barry. "You know, it would be a lot easier to fight crime if we watched people all the time. Not with cameras, of course. That's clearly an invasion of privacy. But how about a national database of our citizens, coupled with compulsory ID cards and barcoding? It would stop crime dead in its tracks."
