Puppets have an advantage in that you can play a variety of styles to answer daily issues and can see what happens without messing up your primary nation. You can have one with a low tax policy and one with a high tax policy at the same time. Daily issues were the original driver of this game and all of them are designed to be over the top.
Yep, which I used to do a lot of. Only have two issues puppets right now. Uniontown here, where I "kinda" answer issues based on my RL beliefs, and Dumoflage over in AO, which is an anarchy.
I just wanted to point out, for anyone who is interested, that "Dirty Americans" was inspired by Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs series. My national motto is from a quote of his. The nation is basically a "blue collar" nation. The people don't have "dirty minds" only "dirty hands" after a hard day work.
A hard day's work never hurt anyone. Sweating and getting dirty is good for you!
I like your motto. I assume your on the side of the political spectrum that is okay with getting down in the dirt and getting done what needs to be done; am I right?
Generally that is how I like to answer the daily issues. The nation is generally conservative and generally open to the free market. Of course it is always assumed that NationStates is always "over the top" and as a result supporting local can sometimes make you an isolationist at times as well as other side effects that only mad issue writers would have thought up.
I love the issues—generally two sides to the same issue and then an anarchist option.
There are a number of issues I don't particularly like because of the way they are written. The evolution one is a good example because you are kidnapped by a scientist and that just puts me in a bad mood. There is another that basically destroys your office door but that's actually funny.
*does donuts*
Yeah, just had one about my declining birth rate. Choices were 3 child minimum, ban contraceptives, or make children be born by scientific growth in a lab. Definitely dismissed that one, haha! Too crazy of options
It can get really annoying if you're going for something like libertarianism or anarcho-capitalism. So many of the "pro market" options involve government subsidies to industry, protectionist trade policies, or similar claptrap. There often isn't a true free market option.
Unfortunately true.
Not naming names but there are a couple of issue authors/editors who......get a lot of dismissals from me.
Also lots of issues that would be more appropriate for a mayor or city council than a national government
Yes, that's a problem with the system in general. There is really no support for levels of government and their relationships to each other. In the real world, some governments are highly centralized and some limit the central government from local decisions. The same is true for systems where the executive has zero to limited legislation power.
Miiiight replace this nation in the WA with a throwaway puppet I don't care about
Yippee!
Wellll doggies!
Fort Smith is ok I guess.. Siloam Springs is bestest smol town though!
