China will be the next global superpower. They will lead the world in military might, economic power and science & technology.
This is not a good thing.
China has repeatedly shown contempt for democracy. They are brutally oppressive against Tibet. They have clearly indicated a willingness to use military might to assume dominance of [...]

The United States of America
Status:
The USA has peeked as a global power.
On September 11, 2001 the US was victim to a monumentally tragic crime that cost the lives of 3000 people. The entire world has shocked and mourned with them. The entire world lined up behind the US. We would have followed them anywhere to bring [...]
Democratic Socialism
In the US, most Utopian visions seem to lean towards Libertarianism. Minimal government, low taxes, where a man is free to live his life as he pleases.

Neo Freedonia is a fully participatory democracy. As a citizen, you have the full [...]
Freedonia
Freedonia was the nation from the Marx Brothers film Duck Soup. It seemed somehow an appropriate name for this mad enterprise. “Neo” was added to our nation’s name to properly differentiate it from the film.
Who is the Philoso4King?
Who is the Philoso4King?
Who cares, next question.
No really, Who is the Philoso4King?
According to Christianity, I am the spiritual child of the most high God. Just like everyone else.
According to evolution, I am pond scum with the benefit of a few million years of random mutation and natural selection. Just like everyone else.
Perhaps I [...]
