WorldFace - What if World Politics was Social Networking?

Have you ever wanted to tell People's Republic of China to "Free Tibet" or Brazil to "shut up and play soccer"? Now you can!

A friend of mine recently introduced me to a social media site from England called WorldFace. It was set up by the group Team Fishcake. The premise was inspired by a conversation between friends on msn. What came out of it was a Facebook-type website involving nations.

"What if world politics was social networking? This site shows you what's going on in the world today using a format that the kids of today might be a little more familiar with." It's also "an interactive, which means you can add your own bitingly satirical statuses and comments." Though "any inapproapriate, offensive, or just plain rubbish suggestions will be immediately rejected."

A few of my personal favorites:

Hugary: Is going to have Turkey cooked in Greece.

United Nations: Is very, very, very angry with North Korea, and is in the middle of debating a very strongly worded letter stating how angry it is.

South Africa: Can't wait for the World Cup draw. How did we get seeded? Spain: You get seeded because you're paying for the competition as hosts. We are going to win it though. Brazil: @ Spain - try to make it out of the first round for once.
