I guess I can blame
rhopalocerienne for this excursion into make-believe United Nations, but she can blame
charisma18, and he can blame ... well ... whoever. Anyhoohow, I have created a
NationState in the attempt to create an island where people lounge about talking about love but not actually doing anything about it.
The Colony of Existential Love

The Colony of Existential Love is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15%. A healthy private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Gambling industries.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Existential Love's national animal is the chipmunk and its currency is the glint.
