Okay.. Pretend you as a person are a whole entire nation. What type would you be? Dictatorship? Communist? Democratic? Monarchy? Conservative?

Describe yourselves, describe others!

I think I like Monarchy. I get a royal palace. I rule by the divine right of Kings. You must give me your tax dollars. The chicks love royalty....yep Monarchy is the ticket.

Here is a list of different types of Governments:

I'd be like TEXAS!

Thats right. I'd have all the oil, all the girls, and and...

Oh, snap. Reality check. I'd go nuts with a state full of all women nagging all the time. :lol:

Ok, all the oil and whatever.

Seriously. I'd be like the US which has different climate zones and regions for production of agriculture as well as natural resources for trading. I'd have a constitution so we would not have to worry about someone coming into power and turning a democracy into a dictatorship. I'd let the citizenship have the right to bear arms so anyone thinking of taking over the government would have to gain control of alot more than a silly big white building packed with a bunch of men who like to hear themselves speak. I'd have strong emphasis on education so everyone would actually have a clue instead of only those who could afford it. And I'd allow quasi-freedom of religion as long as religious groups didnt impose upon others their views or will or turn violent. I'd also promote the practice that if you're capable of working then you wont qualify for government aid. I have more thoughts, but thats just off the top of my head, I might add more later.

I'm sure I'm missing alot but its time for lunch and I have priorities you know...

I'd be Israel, cause it would be funny to have two million six hundred and eighty nine billion people afraid of my tiny arse.

Of course, I would not want to live anywhere else, granted if it was my country I would be the president, to which the title of office would be changed to "The Edine"... yes... yes that's what I would do

06-04-2005, 03:29 PM
Man, that'd be awesome is Dave was America. I'd totally nuke him, take over, and everyone would support me because my soldiers would have the coolest uniforms ever.

Switzerland. I'd have everyone's money. And I love their approach to firearm ownership.

06-04-2005, 03:31 PM
That's all the more money to divide amongst the peasants when I liberate Europe from the capitalist scum!

Pfft. Just try it when every single male in my entire country over the age of 20 is REQUIRED to have a rifle. And where it's legal to carry it around wherever they want. Mmm, Swiss sharpshooters.

06-04-2005, 03:41 PM
Feh! Comrade! You will run out of bullets before we run out of brave Soviet patriots trying to liberate your people! The red wave of freedom shall overcome your tyranical capitalist opression!

I'd be a monarchy, led by a benevolent ruler, in a world where even the concept of war didn't exist.

06-04-2005, 04:03 PM
Woah! I think I found the first country to invade. No army = sweeping victory!

I'd probably be an anarchy. My body rarely does what I tell it to do.

If I could choose, I'd be some sort of totalitarian thingie. I could have like white blood cell Arkans's's who would goosestep around the bloodstream and purge the lazy cells. I know exactly the person I would want to "make a treaty" with, too.

Agreed. Though some of my subjects would probably consider it a dictatorship at first as I march them to the border with orders to get out or get shot.

After the general house cleaning though, most everyone would be happy.

Though I guess it wouldn't have to be Holland since its my country I could make pot legal ;)

Admit it arkans...you wouldn't be a communist country..you'd be a monarchy... you'd be the queen..and you'd demand all your citizens to say 'long live queen arkans' every day!
