Play NationStates

by **Konrad Neumann** 2012-09-08, 14:52

There is a game called NationStates in which you make a country and you decide the policy it has etc. It is a fun and cute game that really easy going and worth while to play. There are many in eBE who are playing.

I invite you all to join it. The eBE region at this time is http://www.nationstates.net/region=dead_kittens_and_tastefull_cookies NLSP made the name -.-

I have 4 nations there.

I noticed one big difference between NS and eRep:
violet (the admin, aka Max Barry) is loved by NationStates' players, as much as Plato is hated by eRepublik's ones! Very Happy

Good luck to everyone ^_^

I prefer playing on Steam/Xbox myself!

by **MCKitkat** 2012-09-08, 18:54

Lol, what do you think about roasted vikings Laughing

Edit: Soon you will eat viking-kebabs and much more

by **tommot** 2012-09-08, 19:22

Yes indeed, hehe Laughing

That's the most appealing part of NationStates.
Keeping it light Very Happy

1 % of my population dies because of bungee jumping Shocked

by **tommot** 2012-09-08, 21:07

My population use to do the same thing. Laughing

by **MCKitkat** 2012-09-08, 21:24

I think I will have to abolish bungee jumping.

by **tommot** 2012-09-08, 21:47

Good luck trying to do that. Smile

by **MCKitkat** 2012-09-08, 22:10

Yep, cause my population is currently occupied to find a way how to do viking-kebab

by **shadowukcs** 2012-09-09, 14:05

can you attack other states?

by **tommot** 2012-09-09, 14:18

Yes you can, but don't ask me how. I never could figure that one out.
Remember that NationStates is more text-based gaming/simulation.

can't find the button to attack NLSP....

I quote from the FAQ:

How do I go to war against another nation? Or trade with them?

In one sense, you can't. NationStates doesn't include these things—because it's a simple game, and because they would bias things in favor of militaristic and capitalist nations. One of the nice things about NationStates is that you can craft a nation into your idea of Utopia without having to worry about such pragmatic concerns as national defence.

There are, however, two types of wargame that have been developed by the NationStates community. One is regional invasions, where nations attempt to move into another region and topple the Regional Delegate; the other is an in-depth role-playing game that takes place in the International Incidents forum.

Many people have suggested a more sophisticated version of NationStates, with trade and military conflicts, but this is unlikely, as it would fundamentally change who we are. At its core, NationStates is a political game, not a wargame.

Yep, that's exactly what i was talking about. Smile

In roleplay you can, but sucks.

In gameplay you can invade regions with other fellow countries, in order to have your allies to get the regional delegation. It sucks when your region is invaded, but normally needs coordination of dozens of people.

In the case of the ebelgian region (dead kittens & tasteful cookies) you can't invade because NLSP is a founder and can stop your invasion at any time.

The holy land of Awesomnessia has been founded!

Pfff, I will need to call a crusade against everyone of you Sad

by **shadowukcs** 2012-09-11, 00:07

so if I can't attack anyone, can I starve my people? make public executions? sends spies over to NLSP to assassinate his leader? convert his religion to mine?

Yes, you can starve them through issues.
Yes you can make public executions through issues.
I don't know.
I don't know.

by **shadowukcs** 2012-09-11, 11:05

how do I execute people? And how do I issue these issues?

by **MCKitkat** 2012-09-11, 12:14

shadowukcs wrote:how do I execute people? And how do I issue these issues?

Issues are random selected.

by **shadowukcs** 2012-09-11, 12:16

pffffffffffffffffff

Anyone know a game where you *CAN* kill NLSP?

by **NLSP** 2012-09-11, 12:41

buy me your favourite FPS and I'm maybe willing to play on the same server as you to give you a chance to shoot me Smile

by **tommot** 2012-09-11, 14:48

You can create your own issues, so make one that could counteract others. You will of-course not know what issues you will recieve, but still nice option. Very Happy

by ishabad 2012-09-12, 23:11

Used to play might play again but theirs another game like this one called Cybernations

by **tommot** 2012-09-13, 18:50

I don't like Cybernations. I've played it for a long time.
You have little or no saying in anything(even within your own borders).
The collective decides(whatever the colective is at that time).
Cybernations is more war-simulation without the nice grafic elements of eRepublik.

NationStates is more political and fun-orientated.

by **tommot** 2012-09-15, 18:01

Update from Beldia:

Beldia is ranked 1st in Dead Kittens and Tastefull Cookies and 2,797th in the world for Lowest Crime Rates, scoring 141 on the Relative Freedom From Crime Index.
Beldia was ranked in the Top 10% of the region for Lowest Crime Rates.

Whooohooo..... first place. Razz

by **tommot** 2012-10-02, 13:34

Here is a map of the region Dead Kittens and Tastefull Cookies. Play NationStates Region10

Most names of the nations are not added yet.
2 Nations already have there choice on the map. Lightblue(Beldia) and red(NLSP).
All the rest is still open.

by Requiem Domine 2012-10-02, 13:41

Why are the countries not equal to each other in terms of the territorial limit? It would be better if we are auto assigned to the respective area accoring to some criteria (example - population)
P.S. Royal blue is my colour pirat

by **boer jan** 2012-10-02, 14:53

where can you access that map, I can not find a link to it.
BTW I have chosen "light green"

by **Konrad Neumann** 2012-10-02, 14:58

I choose the pink one between the red and the extremely bright green.

by **tommot** 2012-10-02, 15:02

And your nation is?

Also i have made the nation size totally random, clasifying this by population is impossible because its numbers change every day(sometimes a little, sometimes radicaly). making a clasification based on other criteria has the same problems.

Also making it's sizes equal would take away theappeal of such a map(imo).

This is the original link that i placed on the Region-page: region DKaTC

Could you all add your Nations name as well? It is not always clear who is who.
