Kutuzovland

Kutuzovland is right about where I want it. I prefer the title 'dictatorship,' and my tax rate is a little high, but all in all, it's probably down hill from here:

UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: Your Moms Basement

Regional Influence: Dominator
Kutuzovland is a UN Member

The Empire of Kutuzovland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 488 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, euthanasia is legal, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kutuzovland's national animal is the earthworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the tetris.

Kutuzovland is ranked 1st in the region and 57,541st in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider is a pretty good movie. It captures comic book action/horror even better than comics usually do.

How many can you name?

You have 10 minutes to name as many states as you can. Click and go.

I missed three relatively easy ones. Scroll down to see which:
























Colorado, Illinois and Arkansas

I knew there was another square one. At one point I was using NFL teams to try and think of states, and I still missed CO and IL. It's not surprising that I missed Arkansas, but given the Clinton association, I probably should have remembered it too.
