Are you a dictator or benevolent leader? Either way try out Nation States.

Really fun game. You make a country and get issues every so often [you pick how often] and these decisions guide your country in whatever path they would in real life.

My country: [url="http://www.nationstates.net/nation=land_of_the_free_sheep"]http://www.nationsta..._the_free_sheep[/url]

If you want I can explain the economic benefits of free sheep.

In a realistic sense, being a dictator ensures that your people will follow you down the path, no matter what. If you are benevolent, someone will always try to take that position for themselves, and some people will start to become jealous of other people because they got gifts while the others didn't. If you're a dictator, sure you have a strict rule, but there is an equal, level field across all boards of spectrum, although it may not be the nicest kind of rule. This issue is stretched in the game I'm making, "The Promised Land", in which the main antagonist preaches that his rule is the best fit for a broken country, but instead takes his "dictatorship" for "absolute control".

As for the game in the OP, I'll check it out later.

Why didn't you name it Welchelandia or The Holy Republic of Welche? Then it could have King Welche, Prince Welche, and [s]Crossdressing [/s]Princess Welche as its monarchy!

Instead, you go for sheep or something... what?

Anyway, I'll check it out.

[Demon Loki]

I don't know. I'm not really a born leader. But i'll give it a try i guess.

No it doesn't. It ensures you'll rule a country with an iron fist until somebody's able to rally people into a large enough army to throw more dipsh*ts than you can kill off until you finally fall.

This game looks hilariously addicting.

The best part is when you get hilarious options like once a drunk guy suggested I ban elections (an option my brother opted to take)

[Tentacruel]

It was fun until I had to choose between burning Harry Potter books and dismissing religious people as wackos.

If you don't like either option, you can just dismiss the issue.

I got that one. I upheld freedom of expression.

But to uphold freedom of expression you would have to accommodate both parties. Freedom of expression means being able to read, write or even condemn what you wish.

So you would have to essentially protect the book, whilst allowing the annoying people to complain.

[Welche the crab]

They can condemn the heck out of it, but my children will he allowed to read Harry Potter.

I hope you know there are limits to what you can do with that. Suppose a guy decides to go around with a shotgun firing shots into the air to express himself. He's not hurting anyone, but you going to allow that?

[Welche the crab]

Actually evidence is that he is hurting someone because those bullets do land and damage others property.

[Lt. Colonel Remo]

You say hurtful things

I'm a fragile flower and go on a rampage due a mental condition

Who is at fault?

Me or the guy who got me to act that way?

[Welche the crab]

How does that have anything to do with freedom of expression? Your looking at freedom of speech but since I believe in the harm principle as I remember it being called so that should answer those questions.

and if there's no evidence to property damage?

[Welche the crab]

There is so your question is invalid. Of course I will have strict gun regulations because of said harm principle.

All you need then is to go to the UK. Most of their police force don't have so many firearms
