Countries for Dummies

I've decided to personify every country.

 

All countries share certain characteristics and act in a certain manner. This makes it possible to identify what they do with certain social stereotypes. This series of posts will examine countries and attempt to classify them into one of those stereotypes. These posts will (frequently) be negative, but then, so are most stereotypes.

(Disclaimer; These posts are highly subjective and are prone to change. These posts refer to the government and don't include the general population, unless their government has been chosen in an open and fair democracy)

The World Game

The world is a bit like a room with a buffet table in the middle. Countries with power are able to freely pick at what they want, gorging themselves at the expense of others. Nations carve out an area and attempt to hold it at all costs. Countries converse frequently and trade amongst each other in an attempt to outwit the other and obtain more resources. The general idea is to consume the most resources and become the fattest possible. Most countries have some sort of weapon to ensure personal safety or to be used as a tool of aggression.

(Edit: The following series of posts will not go forward at this time. Snap judgements of dire situations seems too callous to me at the present time. Perhaps when I have become more of a bitter cynic these posts will commence.)
