IN NS The Peoples Socialist Federation of Ranholn "Bring change by Evolution, not Revolution" UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Imploded Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: 00000 A World Power Regional Influence: Minnow The Peoples Socialist Federation of Ranholn is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.677 billion 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, 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. Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ranholn's national animal is the Crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ranal. Ranholn is ranked 3rd in the region and 2,310th in the world for Largest Public Sector. ![]() CURRENT RESOLUTION Repeal "Max Barry Day" A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #223 Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny Description: UN Resolution #223: Max Barry Day (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: These here fine United Nations, Commending Resolution #223's laudable purpose, to recognize truly great men and their achievements; Duly congratulating this resolution's intended honoree on his many titles from coed beauty pageants throughout the NS world; Expressing its concern, however, that this resolution breaches the reasonable limits to which this body has traditionally held itself; Chagrined that amidst the many serious problems the world faces today, including war, terrorism, poverty, oppression, corruption, pestilence, disease, famine, malnourishment, starvation, taxes, illiteracy, substandard education, substandard sex education, imperial measurements, necrophilia, space junk, nations not labeling chemicals correctly, shortages of computers for schoolchildren, invisible tree people, shortages of computers for invisible tree schoolchildren, rampant ecclesiastical self-defenestration, and reluctance to eradicate the Arctocephalinae, the United Nations would actually pass a resolution declaring an international holiday for some dude who started a Website suggests that this institution's priorities are somewhat out of whack; Randomly kicking ambassadors in the nuts for even thinking this proposal was a good idea, Hereby repeals Resolution #223: Max Barry Day.
