Y'know, one of the biggest problems with nationstates is the fact that your nation's description is not only vauge, is often misrepresents your country. Here is a thread for all you nationstaters out there who with to go a little more in-depth for your country. Describe away!
*The Trotskyist State of Lenistan*
-Founding-
Lenistan originaly was a Russian island, (named Chyrbonysnk before 1914) which was horribly poor under the Czars. They fully supported the revolution, and changed their island's name to Lenistan after their new leader. When Lenin was succeded by Trotsky and Stalin, Lenistan, though suspicious of Stalin, saw Trotsky as the true exemplar of socialism, and trusted that their great nation would continue to improve. However, when Stalin killed Trotsky in a vivious coup, the people of Lenistan were outraged, and attempted to rebel. However, this was crushed by the new dictatorship, and Lenistan continued under soviet rule, poorer than ever before, for many long decades. Lenistan gained independence in the early 1990s, immediatley after the fall of the USSR. They dubbed themselves a "Trotskyist Republic" in honor of their fallen hero, and decidied to embody the true ideals of socialism.
-Government-
Lenistan is fully devoted to a government "of the people, by the people, for the people", and justly deserves it's classification of Democratic Socialist. The government it completely secular, and spends most of its funding & effort on social programs, health care, and education. The government controls nearly all aspects of society, but stays out of the populace's private life, as well as the media. Of course, the government truly IS the populace, so this aspect isn't necessary anyhow.
-Economy-
Lenistan's citizen's have no personal wealth. Instead, everything they need is provided to them by the government, and everything they want is requested of the government or made themselves. All the nation's wealth is in one great pool in which everyone dips equally, and as such, all citizens are economically equal, there are no rich or poor, and no-one is unemployed. Lenistan's economy is in a bit of a rut of late, due to massive expenditures on new social programs and education.
-Military-
Lenistan's military, to further promote the idea of equality, gives every citizen about a year of military training at the age of 18. In this way, citizens can be called up at any time to crew Lenistan's fighting vehicles should the volunteer forces prove insufficient in times of crisis. Lenistan's military is divided into two branches: the Navy and the Ground Defense Forces (GDF). The navy recieves the bulk of the funding, and uses it to create some of the best battleships on the face of the earth. Fighter aircraft are divided up between these two branches, about 80% going to the navy to protect their warships. The GDF mostly uses old soviet arms and vehicles, or national derivatives therof.
I may post more later, but these are Lenistan's basics.
