Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS. One day, war broke out between the two races. The humans drove the monsters underground, sealing them in with a magic barrier. Many years later, a child fell into the underground, and through their determination, freed the monsters. For a long time, humans and monsters lived in peace. One day, the humans learned of how politically active the monsters were. After a long battle, the humans drove the monsters back under Mt. Ebott. Once again, they sealed them in with a magical barrier.
Legends say those who climb the mountain never return.

Day 15: Eight nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report is on the most cultured nations. Unfortunately, the high arts seem to have passed by the citizens of Candlewhisper's nation, who do get a free trip to TRR for their troubles!
Seven nations remain after Day 15. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 16: Seven nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report looked for the highest (pun intended) recreational drug use. The citizens of thewestmarches' nation, however, have been scrupulously taught to "just say no." Now, though, they're "just saying TRR!"
Six nations remain after Day 16. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 17: Six nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report is on business subsidies from the government--bailouts, tax breaks, you name it. Boscampus's nation isn't much for corporate welfare, apparently, but it is much for TRR!
Just five nations remain after Day 17. Who will win? Stay tuned!

That's what I want to know! And why me next? Today, NS said my nation isn't "healthy" enough. So What?? I provide them with all the bourbon they can drink and bed bugs they can eat!! Besides, providing the masses with affordable health care would wreck the economy!

Day 18: Five nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report is on healthiest nations. Unfortunately, the citizens of Barry's nation are hard drinkers and hard smokers who can't be bothered to save their nation from a quick trip to the Rejected Realms.
Four nations remain after Day 18. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 19: Four nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report is on most World Assembly Endorsements, again, with ties broken through regional influence. Woonsocket's nation drew the short straw and is off to TRR!
Now we're down to the final three, the prize winners. But who will take the gold? Stay tuned!

Day 20: Three nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report is on the largest mining sectors. Unfortunately, the citizens of Elite's nation like to stay above ground as much as possible. Off to TRR!
Elite is our third-place winner, earning 5,000 . But who will take first place, Mitoland or Nate NBNS? All will be decided tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Exciting stuff!
I stand by the answer-no-issues-be-as-bland-as-possible-approach for the first half of the game, though I guess in the second half its just down to the dice gods!
Also, joining the contest asap seems to be sensible, to maximise Influence and Endorsements rankings.
Also, not relying on a Magic Eight Ball. That's just silly.

Day 21: Two nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?
Today's World Census Report, the last of our contest, is on the largest public healthcare systems. Unfortunately, Mitoland 's citizens are expected to pull themselves up by their bootstaps when they get sick. Looks like their insurance doesn't cover ejections to TRR!
With that, the second annual Hahiha / USSR Contest for nation creation is over! A huge congratulations to our first-place winner, Nate NBNS , who takes home 50,000 ! Mitoland finished second, earning 10,000 , and Elite won third, earning 5,000 . Congratulations to all three; they should check their donations for their prize money! Thanks to every participant! Until next year!

An oak paneled, plush carpeted boardroom where the Nation Creation Contestants enjoyed Barry's bourbon and cigars. Mr Announcer Man: "and the winner is..." Nate and his regent, Princess Yuki mounted the dias with a smile. A servant brought a covered silver tray and set it beside them. Nate waved and had a seat and Yuki took the microphone. "I have been asked the secret of our success and I say that we always form the soft, white mush into a perfect sphere but we do not neglect including the sharp icy bits. Beyond that I would like to thank everyone who participated, and the Taco Island Charities, and the generous donations of Hahiha / USSR and we should remember the plight of those less fortunate as we consider... (Nate was beginning to look bored and was taking shots from a silver pocket flask)... and give thanks to the Gods and the Four Directions of the Wind... Nate jumped up "That's about enough of that!" He uncovered the silver tray and revealed a heap of snowballs, one of which he delivered with startling accuracy right into Elite 's kisser. The three lit three man jumped around like a ------- with it's head cut off. In the meantime,Princess Yuki threw a frozen water missile right at Barry but it was intercepted by the lightening reflexes of a fembot. Nate snapped his fingers and the oak panels slid open to reveal Snow Name servants carrying trays of complementary snowballs for all of the guests. Nate had only just time to wink to the camera before he was caught in the crossfire...
