Online Games

[active_apathy]

Thanks to crackedwraith, I've discovered an intriguing online game called NationStates, which lets you create and manage your own country.

It's fun. No, really. Go and have a look. I'll wait.

We've even got a new region; it's called Blue Sun, after the most mysterious company in the 'verse. The place even has more intrigue and enigma than Wolfram and Hart, but I digress. There's a comm for the region, and it can be found at blue_sun_region.

In other news, 25% of the communities I'm in are now mine. Mine is an evil laugh.

The models it's based on need a certain level of simplicity to work effectively and efficiently. That, and it tends to make whatever you do much more extreme.

Or so says the FAQ. I only started today.

Well, true, that.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Very much so. And good economic management really shouldn't that hard.

[ryttu3k.livejournal.com]

Of course not. (Unless you're the current government.)

(But they can cheat and claim credit for Labor's reforms.)

(Naturally. Plus the government's been in so long the public just swallow whatever propaganda is being force-fed to them and takes their word for it.)

(Of course, and then the first post-election budget has about six billion dollars worth of fiscal irresponsibility in the name of winning Costcutto the leadership)

(But we could all see that coming, based on the election promises. Left Right And Centre, anyone?)
