Yeah, so I hesitated for about half a second before pointing to NationStates. Now you, too, can run your own country with whatever policies and attitudes you like. On my first day as ruler of the Free Land of Velodrome, I was faced with an animal rights issue: "The increasingly militant Animal Liberation Front struck again last night, freeing dozens of chickens bound for delicious snack packs."

I had to agree with Billy-Bob Longfellow, who said "These nuts have got to be stopped. They need to face the fact people want snack packs, no matter how many innocent chickens must be sacrificed. Besides, chickens would do the same to us if they had the chance." Sure, my economist argued that we should just tax meat-eating, but I'm not a tax and spend kind of a guy.

I've created a region named Blogistan. Anyone who likes is welcome to join me. (Don't be clicking that until after you've made a nation, sport.)

This seems somehow much healthier than squabbling over Patty Murray. Maybe it's just me.
