The Hootoo region of www.nationstates.net is low on countries and is in need of a population boost. Personally taylor your country to yourself and run your own nation, democratic, communist, anarchist, whatever you want. Password is h2g2.

Hootooers Harbor is another h2g2-centric region @ NationStates.
Just think, you can turn your country into a "Corporate Bordello"! Or a "Civil Rights Love-fest". Or, if you're extra special, into a "Psychotic Dictatorship."
And to the first person who can clearly explain to me what "Left-leaning College State" actually means -- I've seen the 3D diagram that lays all the labels, but I still don't get where this name came from. The meaning of "left-leaning" is clear, but I only have the vaguest idea of what a "college state" is supposed to be.

Ah, here's a link to the handy-dandy 3D diagram -- just look, 27 different possible permutations and their associated labels.
So far, my countries have been known as:
Anarchy
Capitalizt
Civil Rights Lovefest
Left-Leaning College State
Left-wing Utopia
Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
Capitalist Paradise
New York Times Democracy
Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
and, of course:
Psychotic Dictatorship

I'd join, but I've already had a country and run through every governmental scenario they give you several times over. It gets repetitive after a couple of weeks.

They make up more of those issues, and some of them it dosen't give you until your country gets larger.

And there are some that you can only get if you're under certain government categories.
Plus, now everybody can submit their own issues to be run through the mill.
