My Civic Duty...

Well, it's election day. I voted a week ago because I'm a permanent absentee ballot subscriber. But you know, my faith in the system isn't what it used to be. I can't look at a single politician that governs me and say "He (or she) represents me." I am really sick of both parties, and wish I had an alternative.

So, I run my country my own way. What is he talking about? Nation States! It's a minimally invasive role playing game where you steer the destiny of your own nation. I run The People's Republic of Platypus Rex, an inoffensive centrist democracy. The amount of time you play Nation States is up to you. I give it a few minutes every couple of days. It's pretty engaging. I leave it up for your perusal. You can also fully geek out with political intrigue in the forums, but I don't go that far. I think it's more rewarding than voting. Maybe next chase I get, I'll seize power and become a dictator.

And that's enough for now.
