01 Eastern Roman Empire Region Classification

According to the latest published data of Nation States Regions Classification on February 28th, 2007, our Region 01 Eastern Roman Empire is at position 325 among 11,637 regions. We have enjoyed a progress of 158 positions upwards since the last nation states census (that took place on February 5th, 2007), while even though at the same period 40 new regions have been added (net increase), so giving us a net progress of 365 positions. Our results would be even better if all UN members were endorsing our Delegate to represent us with more power in United Nations. Anyway we constantly move towards the top of the list. Glory to our Empire !!!

Embassy exchange with Greece

The Technically Tormented People of Grandon, representing the Region of Greece (http://z14.invisionfree.com/Greece/index.php), announced to Byzantine Glory, Founder of 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region the acceptance for an Embassy Exchange between our two regions. We wish to Greece "Live long and prosper !!!".

The Noodleheaded Nobodies of Noogie Noggins



We welcome The Noodleheaded Nobodies of Noogie Noggins (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=The+Noodleheaded+Nobodies+of+Noogie+Noggins), as the 30th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Noodleheaded Nobodies of Noogie Noggins is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 769 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noogie Noggins's national animal is the nogginhead, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the noogie.

The Constitutional Monarchy of Alecon



We welcome His Excellency Gerard Defoe of The Constitutional Monarchy of Alecon (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Alecon) in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Constitutional Monarchy of Alecon is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6 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 large, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 22%. A healthy private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.
Elections have been outlawed. Crime is moderate. Alecon's national animal is the lion and its currency is the lira.

The Republic of Alpha of Centaurus was re-elected as our Region United Nations Delegate.

Wednesday, February 21, 2007

Bye-bye Yadalf

We wish all the best to Yadalf that has chosen to leave our region soon after it joined us.

New United Nations Delegate

Congratulations to The Colony of Whyre which has been elected our new United Nations Delegate in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region. On the other hand we face a risk to lose Whyre from Nation States if their government continues its inactivity (last time online January 27th, 2006).

Foreign Embassies shut off

The foreign embassies of The Holy Empire of Pregnant Greek Chicks and The Armed Republic of Feta Loving Greeks were closed today as their mother nation states ceased their existence. We, as well, asked from our Ambassadors to return back in our capital Constantinople in order to be assigned in a new diplomatic mission in the coming future.

We welcome The Democratic Republic of Yadalf

The Democratic Republic of Yandalf (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Yadalf) is the 30th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.
The new member arrived from The Global Freedom Frount region.
The Democratic Republic of Yadalf is a very large, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 88 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The small government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 13%. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Information Technology.
A nation-wide cull of yodals is in effect, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, gambling is outlawed, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime is moderate. Yadalf's national animal is the yodal and its currency is the feth.

We welcome The Commonwealth of Unied Congress


The Commonwelath of Unied Congress (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=the+unied+congress) is our 29th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Commonwealth of The Unied Congress is a small, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute government, or what there is of one, devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Information Technology.
Voting is voluntary and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is a major problem. The Unied Congress's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dannys.

The Disputed Territories of The Northern Epirus



We welcome our 28th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region, The Disputed Territories of The Northern Epirus (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=The+Northern+Epirus ).

The Disputed Territories of The Northern Epirus is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The minute, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.
Crime is a serious problem. The Northern Epirus's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the new drachma.

Our population is over 10 billion people !!!

New UN Delegate in 01 Eastern Roman Empire

The Republic of Alpha of Centaurus is our newly elected United Nations Delegate replacing The Colony of Whyre. Congratulations !!!

Friday, February 16, 2007

The Holy Empire of Desat



We welcome The Holy Empire of Desat (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=desat ), coming from the Region of Europe (then to The Holy Empire of Nuevo Leon and finally to Equilism), as our 27th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire.

The Holy Empire of Desat is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 266 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.
Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Desat's national animal is the snow cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the daber.

Types of Governments in 01 Eastern Roman Empire

An updating of the various types of governments in our Region, as of Feb. 16th, 2007:


  • Scandinavian Liberal Paradises (2)

  • Moralistic Democracy (1)

  • Inoffensive Centrist Democracies (4)

  • Father Knows Best States (5)

  • Democratic Socialists (2)

  • Corrupt Dictatorship (1)

  • Compulsory Consumerist States (2)

New UN Delegate in 01 Eastern Roman Empire

The Colony of Whyre was elected as 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region United Nations Delegate. Congratulations to our new Delegate.

The Democratic States of Leeia



The Democratic States of Leeia (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=leeia ) is the 26th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region. Leeia arrived here from Anubis Boards, as many of our members.

The Democratic States of Leeia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 284 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, the Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, and all forms of advertising are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Leeia's national animal is the human race, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nick.

The Dictatorship of Evil Joker


The Dictatorship of Evil Joker (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=evil+joker )followed the rest of our members nation states and is the new member of 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region. The new member has the Largest Trade Surplus (184 billion dollars) in our Region. We welcome the new member.
The Dictatorship of Evil Joker is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 391 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
People of faith are sent to twelve-step programs for 'The Cure', a spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Evil Joker's national animal is the Bat and its currency is the Joker Kard.

The four members nation states of 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region together with Successful Netizens who has created AnubisBoards new region will continue their mission for few more days needed till they rejoin our Region.

01 Eastern Roman Empire Region Classification

According to the latest published data of Nation States Regions Classification on February 5th, 2007, our Region 01 Eastern Roman Empire is at position 483 among 11,597 regions. We have enjoyed a progress of 65 positions upwards since the last nation states census (that took place on January 23rd, 2007), while even though at the same period 71 regions ceased to exist, so giving us a net progress of minus 6 positions. Our results would be even better if all UN members were endorsing our Delegate to represent us with more power in United Nations. Anyway we constantly move towards the top of the list.

At the same time the under colonization process region of Anubis Boards is located at position 1744.

The Beaver That Owns

We hope and wish that in the future this nation could be reborn and join again 01 Eastern Roman Empire.
