History

I tried to make my nation have lots of freedom and ended up having 6 year olds wagering their allowances in the casinos. Why. Why. Why.

Yea, that'll happen, the headlines will always gravitate towards the extremes to try to make it seem like you made a bad decision no matter what, they're mainly just for fun.

Will the civil rights resolution presented currently in the world assembly have significant impact on my nation since my track record on civil rights is not very good ...if it impacts then plz veto it or vote against the resolution plzz

Shouldn't be a big deal. Anyone want to talk about the WA resolution? I'm surprised it's as close as it is, I for one am totally in favor

America The Greater wrote:Shouldn't be a big deal. Anyone want to talk about the WA resolution? I'm surprised it's as close as it is, I for one am totally in favor

I'm quite surprised too. When I first saw it I expected there to be a lot more people voting for the resolution since it's all about civil rights, perhaps there are a lot more authoritarian and totalitarian nations than I thought

Maybe a topic on the forum for discussing the currently at vote resolution? Just a thought. I'm somewhat unsure so I'd love to hear what people think of it.

Yeah, it seems like making your laws clear and giving your citizens fair notice is common sense

Hey, if anyone wants to talk about the WA resolution, check out this page on the forum!

Alvnhiem wrote:the actions besides the point system in the chart are just to let me know if somebody already spent their points. As for points, you can use them to expand your territory or you can tank your points. the idea is that if you tank points you get military units. This is still no 100% confirmed but I'd like to add this to the ruleset. I can guarantee that I will give you something if you still have points remaining by the end of the 10 days. im just figuring out what that prize will be.

what if we got 1 point every day?

Has the RP started? If not, how will we be notified?

I was also confused at first. you can telegram me your actions. I'll do them for you. I'll also give you updates on what the others are doing.

Quick Question

In the RP rules it says that in order to begin rping I need to message an admin.

Since I've already been approved in the applications do I still have to message someone or can I just begin now and post my territory on the forum?

no. once your approved you don't need to message an admin. go right ahead and post your territory.

The guy who presented the ongoing civil rights resolution in the GA sent a telegram to me that why should I vote in favour for the resolution...lol I didn't knew that people take these resolutions so seriously....like he seriously sent a whole page of his points and arguments ....but I ll still vote against the resolution since I don't want my nation to be in any problem in the future since my nation is an role model 😂😂(sarcastically) state regarding civil rights hehe😂

I Have a question about a millitary units in the RP. Do they restart after 10 days just like the territory points or do i have an unlimited time to create them?

Acargs wrote:I Have a question about a millitary units in the RP. Do they restart after 10 days just like the territory points or do i have an unlimited time to create them?

no they stack up. you start with 10 units and every 10 days you gain 5. Starting every round(10 days) not counting round 1 the extra points you have will become units. for example if you have 2 point left in round 2 you gain 2 units.

So how do we inform of our purchases of Military units?

I decided to make a new flag for my country based on Greenland since that's where I am in the rp!

How'd I do?

I made a new topic in the forum. The military units will be updated there

you collect them by opening packs and selling them at the market. your goal Is to make your deck worth as much as possible. im not 100% sure but I think that is the gist of it.

May 17th WA Endotarting Initiative Update

Greetings folks,

I've just fully updated the WA Endotarting Initiative and here are our Current Medalists and how their rank changed! :3

🏅 Gold Medalists:

Ardeyn, Endille, Fey And Co, Lotarmy, Partisan Italy, Pupperton, Tim Hortonia, Tychovo, United Islands Of The Sea, and Yodle!

In the May 17th Official Update to the WA Endotarting Initiative, the Gold Medalists here were very on top of their game and had to both check the Dispatch from around 3 days ago AND actively endorse new WA nations not added into the list as well! A lot of the Silver Medalists barely missed the 90% endorsement rate cusp, but can easily gain back the Gold! The continued activity, commitment, and effort being put forward by these nations is the exact model for nations that will keep this region thriving! :D Two brand new additions to the Gold Medalist (and Initiative in general) category are Lotarmy and Ardeyn! Partisan Italy came from a previous Bronze Medal to become a Gold Medalist! The rest of the Gold Medalists maintained their current Medal from the last Initiative Update, demonstrating their continued vigilance when it comes to keeping up with the Initiative!

Silver Medalists:

Alvnhiem, America The Greater, Aya Democratic Republic, Based Communes, Burikat, Hamz, Lkandria, Republic Of Dario, Sanomycromony, and The Washington Federation!

The Silver Medalists in this Initiative Update consist almost entirely of previous Gold Medalists who fell below the 90% mark, which means they're all very close to getting back to the Gold Medal! Telegrams will be sent to all the Silver Medalists with the nations they need to endorse! :3 The exception to the previous Gold Medalists is Hamz, who came from a previous Bronze Medal! They are very close to become a Gold Medalist but fell just short of the 90% mark!

Bronze Medalists:

Kittlay Jam and Valley Of Lys

The Bronze Medalists from this Update are previous Silver Medalists who fell below 75% endorsed nations! This just means that they haven't checked back up on the Initiative in a little over a week and can rise back up to Silver/Gold Medalist status by endorsing all the new WA nations! To make this process easier, a telegram will be sent to all Bronze Medalists of the nations left to endorse! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All in all, still a very solid showing from all our Medalists! With just a bit of maintenance, we will be maxing out our endorsement potential in no time! :D If you're interested in participating in the WA Endotarting Initiative, please check out the link below to see how you can get yourself a Gold Medal! 🏅 Make sure to upvote the dispatch if you haven't already done so! :3

people who joined due to the youtube video made on NS created a overinflation of nations in many regions. Some people only joined for like 5 days and quit playing. Since it takes time for a nation to die most nations were afk and recently they have hit the limit and started to die off

some people not all. I respect the people who joined from Drews video. This is just something natural that happens after every spike in a game.

To let you know now, Drew Durnil now has two videos about NationStates, in case you only know of one of them (the one made on 4/20). Indeed, I came in because of Drew. (Going a bit off topic, I had always been interested in the videos he did on Hearts of Iron IV and Europa Universalis IV, despite not playing them myself.) I just came in at the right time it seems.

May 20th Regional Updates & Reminders

Residents of TRTHNBB,

The Great Purge of 2020 is in full swing, I’m not entirely sure how much it will affect our regional population, but it could be a decent chunk given the sheer number of players this region grew by after Drew’s video OwO Whatever happens though, we’ve developed a great community and it will continue to grow despite any inevitable setbacks that surges in nations comes with :) Also, I’m moving IRL so the next few days I may not be active in any official capacity, so if I don’t respond to telegrams within like two days just know I will get back to you guys ASAP (same with Discord)!

I’ll update the Endotarting Initiative tonight to reflect all our new Gold Medalists and all the currently existing WA nations in the region! I’ll probably make a minor announcement on how medals changed and the absolutely huge rank growth we got from your guys hard work :3 So expect something along those lines tonight!

Thanks folks, you’re all doing really great work with the region and you should be proud of it! If you don’t already know what the WA Endotarting Initiative is, the link will be at the bottom of this message! It’s still outdated but all the WA nations on there are still accurate :D

Also, check out the RP and our Regional Forum which has seen a boom in activity! Applications for the RP can be found in the Forum itself! Links will be below.

Last but not least, if you haven’t already, make sure to participate in the May Regional Census! Submissions will close at the end of May 30th, and we want to get the biggest sample size possible! :3
