I invite you all to visit beatiful Despotania. But don't go sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.


The Empire of Despotania is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Despotania's national animal is the highly trained rottweiller, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Panopticon.

Yep - the only thing that keeps me playing is my addictive tendencies. lol For those who are new - don't set it to give you more than 1 issue per day or you'll run out too fast.

Alas, the joys of being right in a wrong world.

Got to admire The Queendom of Hillary. The leader there has figured out a way to play the game and get the scores that the author wants.

At last count we had over 50 countries who have joined together to form the Alliance of Freepers. Thanks to those who started this and thanks to those who have joined. It's a nice distraction from all that's going on. Dang my heart is heavy these days.
