Thanks, unfortunately I have to delay "THE THING" for a few weeks, but that gives you extra time to come up with names if you want.

This is all the more reason not to trust Mother Nature. Her fickle ways and capricious whim are made manifest in our myths. One day, she feeds us with delicious waffles from the sky, and the next day, a horde of waffle monsters burst from our chests and terrorize Sigourney Weaver. I say—ENOUGH!

90s Music Tournament continues with:

Backstreet Boys vs Manic Street Preachers

What kind of a competition is this

Question: given that it is possible to have a negative rate of income tax in Nation States (several years back mine was –2.4 percent), should the disposable income metric reflect this? Additionally, should Nation States also have a metric reflecting the per capita carbon footprint of citizens? Lastly, should Nation States have a statistic concerning pointless questions about Nation States metrics?

Goodness, I don't know if I'm more pleased to see I'm #2, or more astonished someone has a higher tax rate XD

It's a couple days late but.....

Equilism Township Citizens, it is time to elect our next Mayor! Nominations and Declarations are now open for four days. At the conclusion, voting will open for three days.

http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?/topic/26559-september-2019-mayor-election/

As no one has stood for the office of Mayor, nor has there been any nominations: The Nomination and Declaration period has been extended an additional four days.

So, I am curious, fellow Equilians—what are your thoughts on the circumstances of some Nations in this game having income tax rates as high as 100 percent, while simultaneously having profoundly high levels of economic growth and per capita income? Historically, there are few examples of nations with confiscatory tax rates that enjoyed high long-run growth rates. Indeed, research indicates that profoundly high marginal income tax rates discourage productivity. So, what do you think of the fact that many nations in this game have rates of tax that would make the Soviet Union jealous? Should there be an economic penalty against nations with extremely high rates of taxation? Or is it possible that people would still choose to work and be productive despite the knowledge that virtually all their income will go to the government, which is turn will provide the same services to all citizens regardless of their contributions to government revenue?

Sorry to say, that after two nomination/standing periods, there are no candidates for Town Mayor.

A special election for Mayor will open on or about October 1st, along with the regularly scheduled Delegate election.

Founder Whamabama may appoint a Mayor in the meantime, if he so chooses.

Greeting citizens, we have a new poll for the WA Resolution: "Ban On Forced Sterilisation" page=ga

Make sure to have your say!

Citizens of Equilism,

Please see this important thread to vote on the question of whether or not to void the Equilism-Warzone Europe Protectorate Act:

I think the sarcastical nature of NationStates issues results in sarcastic economic results. :P

I've played another game, in which you can place your taxes at 100%, then add a 100% tax on top of that.....and result in an unbeatable economic juggernaught, where the citizens don't care that all their income is going to taxes. They seem to enjoy the high taxes, as government popularity rises to over 80%+ with a 200% tax rate. Although, I've found that you must also maintain a 2 to 6 percent Inflation rate. If Inflation goes below 2 percent, you'll eventually enter a deficit spiral and crash the economy.

... So, what you're saying is that Equilism should have a region-wide 200 percent tax rate? It's genius—every $1 we take from citizens becomes $2 in revenue. It's brilliant.

My people are very happy under their 98% tax rate. They don't need money because the government provides them with most goods and services required for living. What personal money they do retain they can use for luxuries and luxury goods are the core of the private sector in the nation's mixed economic system.

With the 200% tax, there is plenty of revenue available to reinvest in expanding industries, as well as building a dominating military. Government investment in Agriculture, Raw Materials, Energy, Manufacturing, and Services expands employment levels and grows the standard of living. This creates a mild Inflationary effect, thereby raising the average income, and once again raising Government revenues. Inflation is stabilized via adjustments in Interest rates.

After a few years, there are quadrillions available to invest with, increasing production and global market share as trade surpluses add to the revenues.
