## Hmm. . .that went well. Here’s what should have happened. I’ve noticed here lately that the numbers back in the old Sea of Cecil are dropping at a fairly serious rate, and we’re not even invading any place right now. In fact, we’re in the middle of an election (so if your nation is in the UN, it’d be nice if you’d go endorse Tyber 🙂 ) For those of you who have no clue what NationStates is, it’s an on-line game where you run a nation in whatever manner you choose. Be as serious or psychotic as you wish. If you want to check it out, it’s at [www.nationstates.net](http://www.nationstates.net) And again, if you’ve already got a nation, come back! Please! ---

You are from the Sea of Cecil aren’t you? Not some invader… :dubious: just kidding… I haven’t been involved because I don’t understand how these invasions take place. But I have been keeping Jimiopolis updated and yesterday I passed the population of the US. Woo Hoo! I’m off to endorse Tyber right now. ---

Yes. Come back, please. So far only a small amount of people have registered to the off-site forum I created, and made some of the guys admins of it. I have an idea for a bunch of short invasions we could do for the next week or so… ---

i have just created a nation and added it to the sea of cecil, and here is what it says: > [@](#): > > The Free Land of Juju Juju is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs. ect. and somehow i got catergorized as an anarchy. go figure.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by green\_bladder \* > \*\*Is this like SimCity? \*\* Not really. It tries to simulate a nation by giving you an “issue” each day and you have to decide how to respond. The most long term playability though comes from invading other regions and taunting the locals in a witty manner. Its free so you might as well sign up and give it a go. Remember to join your fellow dopers at the Sea of Cecil. ---

There’s not much to understand about them really, everyone moves into another region en masse then takes over the UN delegate spot. ---
