I had it for years. I always took the pro-corporation/lower taxation option which worked great for ages. Then all of a sudden the employment rate just dropped. I got too annoyed with it. Part of me wants to bring it back.

I can understand that, i mean seriously among many things that make no sense in NS (like higher taxes= more money for people) unemployment is one of them. ALSO if you want to see my most extreme nation i ever made its Krajtago (krajtago is a bit changed name in czech from the Kartágo to Krajtago as Krajta is a certain type of snake, and as its on the flag it seemed funny to me)

Krajtago= 402 for most Authoritarian in the WORLD

Well... Your nation is still there, eh? So I wouldn't say 'fails'. Instead of comparing yourself to another nation, look instead to what your people have accomplished! Your military is feared due to their unique fighting capabilities, your citizens can survive where others cannot, your nation has been invaded many times and yet remains Spanelsko. Take heart comrade, for we are all accomplished in our own ways.

It indeed is, by failures i meant that we dissolved into civil war like 20-30 times in 2 years (impressive in its own right) utterly eradicated all environment and have been forced to abandon most of our industry on the surface.

Although its true that our nation has survived a lot, we have one of the best armies the world has to offer and we can survive the harshest environments easily. We made outsiders (like russians which we ironically saved) into fanatical nationalists and survived nuclear war for which we barely prepared for if i don't count the fact that we live underground. Created giant monsters scientists can dream of and our research and intelligence is also great. And created an undead earth for sometime. So yeah you are right, Spanelsko is a great nation in its own weird right. Thank you comrade for reminding me that i am not utterly a terrible leader.

Hi everyone! I've been looking for a home for this reborn nation of mine. I myself prefer "passive role play": as in I don't really like making characters and sticking to a plot. I just want to expand my factbook and have a spot on a map. I'd only very temporarily rp, and mostly for other nation's nations benefit if,say, they didn't have enough nations to do something.

Is that level of detachment okay here? Or would it be better to look elsewhere? TG me or just reply if you have any questions.

In recent months the International Debating Area (or IDA) has suffered from low activity. It is no longer the busy and prosperous region it once was, a place where people from around the world would come to get their views challenged.

We intend to change this. Currently, the International Debating Area is undergoing its Grand Restoration as a last effort to reinstall activity and frequent debates. We would appreciate it if members from across all our embassies participated in our debates and perhaps even move a puppet to our region. Right now, we're hosting our first serious poll in a while:

They've got something close. I have Proportional Representation

Votes translate linearly to elected representation, with no seats or electoral college.

They should split it up a little differently. At first, you'd get one of two banners: republic or autocracy. But then you could get a second banner for having a specific type of either republic or autocracy.

[Spoiler=Democratic example] Because the people in your nation ultimately run the government, you get the policy banner of a republic. But then you could get a 2nd banner for being a direct democracy OR a 2nd banner for being a representative democracy OR etc...[/spoiler]

[Spoiler=Autocratic example] Because no elections or otherwise democratic functions are held in your nation, you get the policy banner of an autocracy. But then you could get a 2nd banner for being a monarchy OR a 2nd banner for being a theocratic dictatorship OR etc...[/spoiler]

That way you at least cover the basics, and then you can trigger more specifc banners with your policies.

That's too nuanced for NS. I love it just gives you the Autocracy banner if you're a dictatorship. It assumes there is an autocrat. It could be a one-party state. It could be an oligarchy. There are numerous forms of dictatorship, not just one person ruling everything.

If NS programmers always stuck to the traditional meaning of terms, I'd agree with you. But they don't. They define socialism as, "Industry is owned and run by the government in a centrally planned economy," even though central planning isn't really a requirement according to any official definition you look up. The only common theme all definitions seem to agree on is public ownership.

I'd prefer my system not because I think it's an objectively good way to define autocracy, but because it allows for the creation of more banners that more easily describe your nation.

Tho you do actually make a good point the more I think about it. I'm sure there's a better word than "autoctacy" to describe any system in which the voices of the people are muffled, kind of how republic basically means "not a monarchy."

I also don't like how the game gives you binary effects if you pursue certain policies. For example, if your nation is religious, it has to be socially conservative or unscientific. Or it cannot be scientifically advanced and religious.

Well, she supports a lot of positions Merkel has. Tho from a German point of view she's the better choice. Her strongest opponent Friedrich Merz would just make politics for rich and well-off people. This man proposed to get rid of normal pension but instead introduce pensioners shares where people can invest money during the time they work and get the divvy of those share when they are pensioners. I don't think a lot of people have the money to buy shares.

And to your last comment:

Left-wing? What are we? The GDR?? /jk

It's more likely that a right-wing government happens rather than a left-wing. A couple of years ago Die Linke (Left party) became strongest party in Thuringia and they have a Left Minister-President since then. For many people in the old states (former West Germany) it was unbelievable. Some said that Thuringia will become the new GDR and a Socialist state. And what happened?? NOTHING! Business as usual.

Do you think Karrenbauer will win back voters from AfD and the Greens like she is planning to try?

I don't know. It's a lot of coffee grounds reading you can do right now. Nobody can foresee the future.

Who dares enslave your people?!?

You know comrade, there's always the nuclear option once you save your people..... not that i would be suggesting anything.

Got an issue in Nurem today. Gave me the chance to cut all welfare. My PM is a Conservative, not a dick. I know these two are not mutually exclusive but it's stupid to give me a daft option like that. It probably wouldn't have even cut taxes. Just give me a damn tax issue already!

YES, finally got rid of the smoking ban!

Feels good doesn't it? You'll soon get a lot of tobacco-related issues. That happened to me after I legalised it.

Hello, all! I can't believe it's nearly Christmas! I've been busy delivering mail, presents, and passengers for the holiday season, but it's worth it for such a jolly time of year! And I did at least find time to change my flag into my Christmas one!

I'm going to try to be a bit more active here despite my work. But until then, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The issue is literally called ´´waste of time´´

The Issue

Yesterday you spent several hours developing solutions to a complex sewage management dilemma that you had read about in a report in your desk drawer, only to realise today that this report was written eight years ago and that the problem was solved six years ago. Any one of the ministers, engineers or bureaucrats you consulted with yesterday could have told you this, but no-one did.

The Debate

“Uh, begging your pardon, oh wise and glorious leader,” pleads engineer Kimberly Black, “but we have always been told that you are an infallible and ultimate authority, so we assumed you knew that the problem was already solved and that you were simply testing us in some way. With your permission, we will challenge that assumption in future, and speak our minds. Uh, as long as we don’t get punished for doing so! Please don’t hurt me!”

“The Great Supreme Lord Khan, you are of course infallible,” shouts your head of secret police, moving in to put handcuffs on the engineer, “and this worthless wretch has failed the loyalty test! Guards, take her away!”

My own secret police is so brainwashed that they believe that i can't be wrong..... well i see that my extensive propaganda campaigns have maybe been too successful.

EDIT: The Talking Point

Nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked.

What's the point in having a secret police if they're not brainwashed to have absolute loyalty to the leader and the regime?
