Nationstates

[Mixfortune]

Form your own nation and make daily decisions to impact the political stature of your peoples.
Totally remembered this while contemplating other grand uses of time from my schooling days, such as Progress Quest.
Not so action packed as a lot of other online stuffs but could still be interesting to some for a time.
http://www.nationstates.net

Also a little group for us to check up on each other if there's interest.

[CrimsomWolf]

Sounds interesting. Might try it out, once I get the time (somwhere this evening).

I always wanted to make my own, absolutist/corporate state.

I wonder If you can chhose/make your flags. Always wanted to do that too.

It says FKL is a pass protected region, so what's the pass.

[Vanzazikon]

My nation has no boundaries. I scout the world in search of souls. :E

[ShinMaruku]

I will not stop till this planet is one nation state.

[Larian]

I had a nationstate a loooong time ago...

Now I just use it through facebook... =/

[raikomaru40]

Yea yea, we need the password to move our country to the FKL region.

EDIT- Nevermind, I just removed the password, no real need for it.
Also yeah ast, that's what I get when I let my high school heart win.

[CrimsomWolf]

No idea :-P

No, that's beacuse they're all in the army

:ak:

Criminals and outcasts always make superb clandestine forces.

Tack on "uneducated" and and people will start calling you Kerry.

[CrimsomWolf]

Let them try.

My royal guard is just itching to try out their toys :wacko:

[HolioArtillery]

I wish there was a way to speed up government development besides deciding on one issue a day.

[CrimsomWolf]

Actually, got to "Settings" (or wherever you adjust settings)

One of the boxes at the top is about setting frequency of issues, though two per day is the fastest I've seen.

[Mixfortune]

I wish there was a way to speed up government development besides deciding on one issue a day.

Yeah I kinda forgot about that part, for some reason I remember them starting you off on three or so when you first form your nation, which is weird because it obviously doesn't now.

They'll stack up though so you don't have to necessarily return every day to hit them up and instead check it out every so many days.

I really could've sworn though that it started you off with about 3 and then you got 1-2 per day.

Ah, there we go, thanks Crimson. Really has been forever.

[CrimsomWolf]

Glad to be of help.

Also, I've seen a lot of RP'ing going around, wars etc.

We gotta stock up on mechs, androids, soldiers and nukes.

Can't touch FKL :wacko:

[SpikeOtacon]

I will join for the good of the FKL.

[HolioArtillery]

Good find Crim. Doesn't seem to be activating right away though. Probably have to wait awhile or until the next day for it to go into effect I guess.

[Vanzazikon]

Valraidia has come to serve. :E

My pigs suck.

[HolioArtillery]

I wish I could have had Technocracy, but it wasn't an option. :(

[CrimsomWolf]

First point on my "Childhood Dreams" list completed. I outlawed democracy.

Oh, so that was you Van :D
Nice to see other friendly face.

I wish, I could create a mix of Vector Industries/Britannia, but I'm happy with how things turned out.

[Vanzazikon]

I'll make my own flag later. Too lazy to do it now. ;o

[CrimsomWolf]

I actually used Holy Britannian Empire flag from... you know.. Code Geass.

I must admit, not much else came into my mind, and I still need to get some editor or something like that to make decent pics.

[HolioArtillery]

The Issue

The latest "Harry Potter" book to hit schools across Barbronia has stirred up the greatest controversy yet.
The Debate

1. "I quite enjoyed the book, until I got to the part where Harry summons evil demons to do his bidding," says religious leader Faith Winters. "Now that's just wrong. We need to restore some sense to this debate, by which I mean we should remove this book from the shelves, salt it thoroughly, and burn it."


2. Teachers union President Johann McAlpin says, "Come on, the book is fantasy! And it's a damn good read. I'd like the government to issue a statement of support for our teachers and librarians, so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like Christians."

As much as I hate harry potter, I freaking love this site.

[CrimsomWolf]

Haha. As much as I dislike religious wackos, I would consider outlawing it.

I got one with minorities in soap operas:

Sanguilian's TV soaps--famous around the region--have come under fire for their lack of ethnic diversity.
The Debate

1. "Every night my family and I sit down to watch 'The Brash and the Backstabbing'," says Jazz Hanover. "But where are the Lilliputians like myself? Where are the Bigtopians? The Marche Noirians? People from those cultures can be just as brash and backstabbing, but we never see them on the screen. The government must act to remove this silent apartheid from our TV screens."


2. "Those Lilliputians don't know how good they have it," says Violet Johnson, spokesperson for the Tasmanians Against Ethnic Stereotyping. "Tasmanians are on television all the time, but always in crude, stereotypical roles. The answer is not to enforce ethnic quotas, but to award government prizes for the positive portrayal of minorities. That'll work better, and be cheaper, too."



3. "The government should do what now?" says TV studio executive Akira Wong. "You've got to be kidding. We make soaps here, not documentaries. I should be able to put whichever characters I want into my shows. Quotas! Government prizes! God save me! Hasn't the government got anything better to do? Why don't they just back off and let society work out these things on its own?"

[HolioArtillery]

3 would be my consideration.

[CrimsomWolf]

I'm leaning towards 2. Just because, I don't trust populus to make things right. :wacko:

[astuarlen]

Alright, fools, I just jumped in the drink again.

[CrimsomWolf]

My current nation:

Please, igonre my previous experiment :wacko:

In any case, the game's a great bundle of fun.
Since the more the merrier, all FKL-ers are welcome to join :wacko:

"I am not prospering, therefor I'm not even a maggot to begin with! LONG LIVE SHORT-LIVED SOCIETAL STRUCTURES!"

The latest announcement of Barbonia! You can actually manage multiple countries if you want, you're just not allowed to put more than one in the World Alliance.

[CrimsomWolf]

Expect now to be flooded by various nations.

I'd be scary if everyone could make his own country like this, in real life.

But I can't hide it's fun.

Though Issues could hurry up.

Actually, in the WA, some people will team up and flood into an enemies region, and attempt to kick out or nullify those peoples power in the WA. You should read the faqs for the game, it's actually pretty interesting.

[CrimsomWolf]

Just read it.

Calls for an army of clones. :wacko:

Nobody touches FKL, apart from us!

ALL HAIL FKL!

[Vanzazikon]

"Frankly, I don't see why we need to have elections at all," says your brother, Anne-Marie Jong-Il, over a late-night malt whiskey. "You always seem to know what's best. Why not scrap the whole political system? It would make things so much simpler."...My brother... Anne-Marie... Jong-Il!!? MY BROTHER IS A TRANNY!!!? D:

Damn commies appearing in my issues, GTFO!!

[CrimsomWolf]

My first country suprisingly got hold of itself, becoming a superpower :wacko:

Second one's holding up well too.

See? It's possible. Try managing more than one state at the time. Feel the power (of the dark side)

Also, names in the issues are completely random.

[HolioArtillery]

Ok, this is just stupid. They gave me the voting issue again.

[astuarlen]

I want more than 2 issues per day, dammit! How will I ever groom my rag-tag group of hens into an artistically trimmed topiary of a utopia at this rate? ;-;

I made one. As well. The people of Lomanze buy stuff with swords.

Also I loled at what it said about the national animal

[astuarlen]

The people of Lomanze buy stuff with sords.


Now that's one baby-eating grin I'd like to see on my legal tender, if you know what I mean.

I mean I want to see Sord's mug on some coins--I dunno, quarters or something, 'cause those are actually useful--if you know what I mean.

[CrimsomWolf]

Someone know how to not make a communist-like state with "strong-anti business policies"?

Is it dependent on how you respond to issues? Government type?

[Akruta]

How did I get to second in the region for most inhospitable?

Here is a guide that can help in at least getting close with Nation you want to create, as it explains a few things (which aren't very clear in faq on page)

Edit: Actually, NationStates forums have much more superior guide on creating nations:

uh, yeaaaaah...

Just checked it out, and found a nation (Commonwealth of Crimsom, World 101, Arctic)

Seems to be more..."active" in terms of creating and managing your country. You aren't also separate in your own "magnificence bubble" as faq puts it, but you can trade, set alliances etc... they're also planning to introduce war, probably in summer.

You can also set up alliances between nations, which perhaps may be "inter-world" (i.e with countries from different worlds) but I'm not sure. Any and all FKL-ers are welcome to join there, if not actually move there.

[HolioArtillery]

if we decide to switch to NS2 we should probably all agree on a planet to play on, so our countries will be able to interact with one another

EDIT: I don't know what the deal is Crimsom, but I can't seem to find your nation on the World 101 list.

DOUBLE EDIT: Found you, sent you a telegram. I went ahead and just made my nation in World 101 as well.

MUTHA FUCKIN TRIPLE: Made an FKL alliance

[astuarlen]

I just joined NationStates2.
Check out my first issue:
"Smoking In Public: The Individual's Right Or Just Rude?​"

Eerily topical, I think. And I'm sure I just torpedoed my "civil rights" rank by banning smoking. (Just like marijuana appears to be a "civil rights" issue in the first edition).

[CrimsomWolf]

Sometimes sacrifices need to be made... for good of nation, of course. If you have a very high "civil rights", then it might not affect it as bad...I think.

FKL alliance up and running.

So far it's Holio, Myself and Astuarlen running the show as Supreme Leaders.
All other are welcomed to come over and sign up.

[Outrider]

This sounds pretty awesome. Is this the kind of thing I could do during my lunch break or should I wait until I get home to set something up?

[CrimsomWolf]

It's a web-browser game, so I suppose you can sign up at lunch break.

Depends on preferences, really.

[raikomaru40]

It's only a page of filling in some nation info and a page of answering some political/civil/etc questions to describe your nation.

[CrimsomWolf]

Well, first version. You should sign up for NationStates 2.
It's rather more "active" as unlike in first, here you have actual trade and diplomacy (they're also planning to install war feature someday.)
And has Fresh Kills Landfill alliance.

Which reminds me, Raiko should joins us in Room world 101 in NationStates 2 :wacko:

[raikomaru40]

OK, well, I requested an invitation, so yea.

[HolioArtillery]

you have your invite

[raikomaru40]

A'ight, coolio.

Also I decided to crack down on biking hippies.

Edit: Made A nation in nationstates 2.

"I was attacked by one just on the way here and I nearly lost my life! They're a public menace. We must shoot and burn them!"I lol'd

Invite me to FKL Region. ;o http://www.nationstates2.com/g/nation/valraidia

[CrimsomWolf]

I think that you actually need to move to world 101.

(Or create nation there - it's possible to have more than one if they're on different worlds)

As at present I'm not certain if inter-world alliances work. (as last mod post on it, which was a year ago IMO, said that they had some issues with that).
