Borys is chaotic (more than usua)

What does LE, LN or NE mean? As for NS from an OOC POV purely EVIL, IC well the worst NS has done is capture an Emperor which was returned intact. Mostly NS has been the victim, only against France has NS not been so innocent, but that at least is changing.

CE seems to be the one most fitting for the NS, with a weak case for CN as well.

[swamphen]

While the DKB strives to be LN, Count von Bülow is most definitly CE...  :D

New Switzerland is most definately CN.

Only Rohan places in the Gs, NG?

[Borys]

Rohan? Could be NG or NN
Borys

[Walter]

Japan. Lawful Good. No doubts about that!!
*Blows up innocent citizens for fun*
Yes, absolutely no doubts about that. ;D

New Switzerland is most definately CN.

you should not doubt the CE tag attached to the back of New Switzerland. What that tag says is true!! :)

[Desertfox]

Chaotic Evil is referred to as the "Destroyer" or "Demoniac" alignment. Characters of this alignment tend to have little respect for rules, other peoples' lives, or anything but their own selfish desires. They typically only behave themselves out of fear of punishment.

Most definately not Swiss. When have I been detered from taking on more powerful countries?

Not saying NS is not Evil only that none of the Evil tags seem to fit...

Reading that, I would say that there are probably a few exception to that bit. NS would be one of those exceptions...

... but I think there is a good way to show how evil New Switzerland is...

... by showing everyone the true leader of New Switzerland!!!

Darth Swiss :D

(somehow that particular tune seems to fit better with NS)

Gran Colombia is Lawful Evil.  In other news, the sky is blue...

[Ithekro]

I was thinking LG for Rohan, but the country seems a little to pragmatic about things to the entirely lawful in international relations, and the system of government seems to have many internal alliances that are based on loyality and honor, rather than being total subjects of the monarchy.  So NG sounds right.  Not sure about being True Nuetral.

Does this mean I'll need to have modern paladins?  :P

There's no GOOD rating for nations.

If a nation spends $10 a year as economic aid to third-world black holes, it migthe count as good.

[Walter]

A nation has to be there to make sure that that money is well spent and not being wasted by some corrupt government official. Who cares about money anyway. It's not edible so useless to the poor people as the nation is probably too poor to have places where money can be spend. Those third-world black holes could better use stuff like food, clean water, medicine, clothes, etc, rather than money.
Coming to the rescue of a third-world black hole whenever one is attacked by the forces of evil (i.e. New Switzerland) and fight for their freedom would also give you the 'GOOD' rating.
... at least that is how I see it...

[Ithekro]

A good nation's goal is always the prosperity of its own people.  Defense of the innocent tends to be a tenant of good nations as is the "smiting of evil", though that tends to become a point of view argument.  There is normally no absolutes in the world.  Rohan is about as close as we are probably going to get to a "good" alignment at this point.  Sure it has its self interest involved and is not beyond aiding "evil" nations, but it tends to try to weigh the balance of things before deciding who to aid and who to smite.  Within the year, Rohan will be able to actually consider smiting evil again.  The last time was very costly.

Also the amount of "evil" in the world seems to justify Rohan's large military.  Enough to keep the country safe and yet enough to intimidate others before the defenses are in danger.  (Almost the "Big Stick" policy)

[Desertfox]

You're calling the Neatherlands a 'third-world black hole'? That's a new one.

Hmm seems that by P3D's and Walter's rating system, New Switzerland is... surprise! GOOD (Either Im doing something wrong or the definition of good must be changed)

As in the last two years NS has donate $5 to California for post-eartquake repairs, has donated $20 per year to Siam for Canal Construction (which will mainly benefit Siam), and has supported New Zion against the forces of Evil (i. e. von Bulow) to the tune of $10 and was about to donate even more money for the improvement of its infrastructure.

That's $55 donate to 'third-world black holes' in two years. Doubt anyone else can match that.

[P3D]

Attacking neutral ships in order to seize their valuable cargo puts NS into the NE/CE  alignment slot.
Any 'donation' is either PR - or investment for political/strategical gains.

Government working on the well-being of its own citizen is not a good act in its own. Every government acts like that (although the beneficiaries might not include the whole citizenry).

[Desertfox]

Well that was you idea of a GOOD nation, not mine! :P

But I was stealing from the Rich to give to the Poor! ;D That should put me into the CG ;)
