NationStates

Anyone play http://www.nationstates.net?

It seems really interesting and I’m currently thinking about:

1.) What sort of nation I want to make

and

2.) How to make a sort of nation-building game for the StraightDope boards.

Edit:

OK, I just realized that you can create your own world region. Anyone up to start an exclusively Straight Dope world region and see how it goes? >:]

Thanks for the suggestion. I just created the Federal Republic of North Erewhon.

There was a SDMB region called Sea of Cecil but I don’t know if it still exists.

Aw shucks. I’m up for founding a new one if anyone’s interested. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sure. Can we see if the Sea of Cecil is still available, or maybe form, I dunno, the New Sea of Cecil?

Slight correction: that’s Northern Erewhon.

I just remade the Sea of Cecil, the password is Adams.

I’ll look for it later today and join up. I hope others do, too. May we conquer the world! Mauaha!
Or not, we might all be hippie nations, I guess.

Ok, I’m in the Sea of Cecil as The Most Serene Republic of the White Rock. Now… on to the rest of the world!

I think I’m going to make a religious empire. >:]

I’ve created Airstrip Sixteen in the Sea of Cecil. >:]

I played this a few years ago. I had more than one state with various types of governments.

Incidentally, has anybody given in to the urge to make things as miserable as possible for your inhabitants? Some of the states I created were done with the specific purpose of seeing what happened when you put an evil, oppressive, and batshit insane government in charge. (I can be a sadistic bastard sometimes.)

Well, Airstrip Sixteen is a play off of Airstrip One.

So yes, my nation is oppressive and batshit insane.

My previous nation, Minassa, was perfect. Both personal liberty and economy were sky high.
