I’m already getting issues a second time. For example, on Mephistophistan’s first or second day of existence, I had to decide whether it would be legal to go around naked. I made my decision. Now, just a few days later, I have the same decision to make again. Same arguments. Sames gripes by the same people.
nightshadea, click on the link to your region over on the left side (if you’re new, you’ll get The Pacific), and there’s a link on that page to move to a new region.
The Free Land of Caerulea. I’m not sure I’m intrigued with the place yet, and I haven’t got the nudity issue to come up. I wanna votes me some nudity!!!
Ok I moved my country … I joined the u.n. … i even made a resolution
How do you you get your resolution passed to the general members vote on it ?
I think they should get rid of the regional repesnatives and just let us straight vote on a u.n. issue
You do vote individually on issues. Regional delegates get blocks of votes based on the number of endorsements they receive.
Anyone can raise an issue as a proposal. Take a look at the UN screen. It may sit in the queue for a long time, however, and nobody can vote on it until a sufficient number of regional delegates have endorsed it to put it to the vote.
I gave up on it; the site is just too damn slow.
Put your hands together for the latest member of the Sea of Cecil:
The Disputed Territories of Lemuropolis
Motto: “Fools! I’ll Destroy You ALL!”
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Below Average
Location: Sea of Cecil
The Disputed Territories of Lemuropolis is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The minute government, or what there is of one, devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A robust private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Basket Weaving industries.
Euthanasia is illegal. Crime is a serious problem. Lemuropolis’s national animal is the red-ruffed lemur and its currency is the lemur nugget.
I AM THE GRAND POOBAH OF THE ROGUE STATE OF HERRING!
Motto: Fish! Fish! RAH-RAH-RAH!
My National Animal–the Herring!
My Currency–The Herring!
I have a fish-based economy.
The Commonwealth of Great Bight. Things aren’t going as well as I had hoped.
And the Rogue Nation of Herring has not responded to my public inquiries yet. Neither has the UN regional delegate. Humph.
We have a communications breakdown in the Hot Line.
Please stand by.
Behold, The Republic of Ishmur, soon to move to the Sea of Cecil.
Thats what they need to get rid of is the delegate part and just let the members have a straight vote on it
Although some of the un resolutions are stupid and childish Theres some that never get voted on cuase the un delegates never see it or just dont bother …
As of right now the rouge state of ghettoland is ambivilient of staying in the U.N
But the site has been running faster except for the odd page ya have to reload a few times … I think there cleaning the inactive ones out …
Say, who’s planning to get Jennifer Government, the book?
I am. It sound like it could be pretty good.
Maybe if we each buy a couple, or three, the author will be able to put in more bandwith.
republic of bron yr aur (yeah, I stole the name from Zeppelin): http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/pin=32646800/logout=1
I read a page or so of the first chapter–it’s linked somewhere on the Jennifer Government website–and wasn’t exactly blown away. Anyway, you should read that first chapter and see what you think before you purchase the book. I don’t know how long that link’s been there, but I first saw it a couple days ago.
The Borderlands of Lellisia have relocated to the Sea of Cecil. “In weapons we trust.”
Right now we are an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy notable for our devoutness and lack of prisons.
The Rogue State of Herring has a new flag.
The Grand Poobah’s Very Personal Assistant, Miss Bubbles La Rue, knitted it herself.
I’m starting to get bored with nationstates now. I keep getting the same issues over and over, the boards are mainly populated with teenaged boys trying to nuke one another, and the lag-time is so slow I could probably take over a real nation in the time it takes to view and address the day’s issues. It was a cool idea- and a freaking brilliant way to hype the guy’s book- but I’m moving on.
Well, I still play Nationstates. My nation is currently in active support-finding in a future proposal to create a new international organization separate from the UN*.
*The Warsaw Pact has a good ring to it, but the name is not set in stone at this point in time. Any suggestions and support will be greatly welcomed and taken as a very warm act of friendship.
I couldn’t resist joining the fun.
The tiny nation of Tararua has arrived in the sea of cecil.
