What is NationStates?
>NationStates is a free nation simulation game. You create your own country, fashioned after your own ideals, and care for its people. Either that or you deliberately torture them. It's really up to you.
Can I be NaziGermany/Equestria/DESIGINATED/kekdom?
>Read the above, but be reasonable(No /pol/tarding it up basically).
How do I play?
>Create a nation and follow it from there. You'll be asked to choose a name for your nation, a motto, a national animal, and a currency. Then you answer a short questionnaire about your politics, which will determine whether your nation is authoritarian or libertarian... conservative or liberal... compassionate or psychotic... you get the idea.

Accidental banjecting was mostly my bad though.

Already butthurt desu senpai
>>43592362
If everyone's equal it's going to be stupid too. What kind of a socialist utopia do you think the world is?
>>43592362
Just curious but why shouldn't the more experienced players be in a stronger starting position?
Why let newfags roll in and be edgy as fuck?
>>43592396
I don't want people to be kept out of the game by the arbitrary factor of not having had a NS account lying around.
>>43592392
>>43592396
Oddly enough, in the mechanics poll, it was a majority lead by small nations that won it for vicky 2, I guess the region is full of masochists wanting big dick big guys to dominate them economically
>>43592488
Sadly we don't know it's arbitrary. They'll have a chance to prove themselves as RPers.
>>43592498
Here's to hoping we don't get a CYOA. Otherwise, why use Nationstates at all. We're very far removed from the policies mattering, and now the stats are going to be thrown out. Judging by the poll.
>>43592581
We're using NS because it's a place to shitpost, really. How do you explain a population massively increasing by a few million every 24 hours?
>>43592595

>>43592547
Do you fucking know what the word "arbitrary" means? Preexisting nation size is not related to engagement in the project or ability to roleplay or any other important factor. Yes, people with pre-existing nations COULD be good roleplayers. Or they might not. That's exactly what makes it fucking arbitrary you ignorant cunt. If you don't know what a word means it takes less than four fucking seconds to just google it.
>>43592581
Benefits and drawbacks of each selections
Make it up. IMAGINATION no limits to what you come up with as long as it's reasonable. Gud if you are creative, or want the rp to start soon, or want a level playing field, bad if you arent, and resort to Poo posting magical ninja squads
Stats. Good if you want a basis in hard stats, or are a big guy nation, or just want to customize your army. Bad in that some nations have literally no money to spend, (broomdesc) some nations have literally no army as well. Also, might delay rp by a week as everyone digs up historical prices for every single mauser. Might end up as cheesing, since for the sake of time, convenience and sanity, actual manufacturing capabilities and resource availavle will be discounted, allowing a nation to potentially field nothing but just a fleet of dreadnaughts.
Cyoa: best of both worlds imo, but only If we just use it to start rp, trade after will not be affected, nor will population and economic strength. will be fair and easy to use, allowing second fastest start to rp behind makin it up yourself. Big guy nations can still play majors by getting maybe more points
>>43592595
My people are grown in vats.
>>43592581
You do realize that the CYOA can incorporate NS stats, right? Hell, we could do both of the second options, and make your "points" based on economic strength.
>NS Economy
>only loads the first handful of nations
>codebase hasn't been updated in two years
Why even keep this shit in the OP?
>>43592712
THAT WAS ALREADY WRITTEN DOWN ON RMB REEEEEEEEEE WHY CANT PEOPLE REEEEEEEEEE D
Reminder that these are military stats (technology as well lumped in I guess) NOT population nor economic
>>43592796
I like think of it like how real world nations use different calcs for gdp etc.
>>43592818
How does that even remotely address the problem?
>>43592712
I thought the ideas were mutually exclusive, to be honest.
I'm just speaking up for the larger nations, since the meta so far seems to be "Fuck the big guys! Give all the buffs to the tiny nations!"
As far as using a CYOA. I'm not well versed in making them, but what if there was. Iunno. A set of tiers. Like tiny nations get 10, mediums 20, and larges 30 or something.
>>43592834
The problem that it's taking up one line in the op? It's not been used in any calcs/updates since the first thread.it's just there for the information. I already condensed the op m8
>>43592842
That's because ~the big guys~ will end up with as many people under arms as tiny nations have in total, and that'll only get worse with alliances.
>>43592954
>it's just information
It's shit info though. If you want two alternatives, why not put NSDossier there?

Legalized rape.
So, I know this is going to be a while in the future (no pun intended) but when we finally get to a FT RP, what is your star spanning empire's lore going to be like.
I'll give you a hint as to mine.
Here are our IC themes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iVYu5lyX5M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbLcI9-Js0U
and here is a quick quote to describe our mindset:
“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so, because it serenely disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrible.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies
Yes, it seems as though I have decided on creating a race of partially deranged aliens with a view of beauty twisted by a 60 year war that destroyed virtually all signs of their civilization ever having existed before that point and leaving them to believe that they were created in a fiery war between Gods who ultimately died to the "man." It also twisted their appearance from something similar to a very tall human, into grotesque daemon like creatures.
>>43593442
I'd like to play my aliens from my old FT. Bunch of giant quad lunged lizardmen who breathed a dense atmosphere, but could switch to earth breathing through a long and painful decompression process.
Plus, they had an awesome forge theme going on.
>>43593253
It's not rape if it's legal.
>>43593442
Actually, I'd like to edit that a bit. They actually worship a single deity who they believe created them with free will, but (in their eyes) they misused their free and brought about their near total destruction via a 60 year unrestricted war which saw extensive use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry. ( to expound upon this it was politics that actually started it but they believe it was due to the entrapments of an increasingly hedonistic and godless society centered around the pursuit of beauty for the sake of beauty and the pursuit of knowledge for the sake of knowledge). Following the 60 year war that they termed "the war of re-enlightenment" they became a theocratic society based around the belief that they must proselytize their now twisted beliefs in an attempt to keep races from destroying themselves (their original dominant religion was much like Judaism as they never had a "Christ figure", but it was perverted following the war and now encourages the use of force and terror to keep other civilizations under control and therefore "safe from self annihilation") The fact that the war left them to look daemonic and twisted their minds does not help their image in the galactic society. They make extensive use of manipulated biology in the design of their ships and weapons.
Oi, is nobody else gonna have any input? I just wrote a fuckton and a half. You lot can at least put in a paragraph.
>>43594210
Fuck FT.
>>43591208
No longer the weakest currency. Feels good.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, political activists are routinely executed, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iustiland's national animal is the Troll, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Feels good.

When we've decided on RP mechanics, will it all be posted on the region page or something? Nationstates' forum sucks and I really don't want to have to read through all of it.
I'm starting a brand-new nation for this region, but I noticed the clay claim requires a capital. Do I need to wait until my nation is large enough to have an official capital as per the game mechanics, or can I start immediately?
>>43611807
Game mechanics aren't being used. Just think of it as a political RP that happens to be taking place on Nationstates.

Just claim a spot that hasent been taken m8. Make it reasonable thats all
>>43613007
Look at the factbook of the region, you should see something called "Map Claiming Rules" Follow them.
Is there a map with all countries' names?
>>43613790
Not at the moment. Once the RP starts/just before RP starts, I'm going to remove all borders and put names over each country.

Does anyone know any map that names the provinces for easier land claiming?
Victoria 2 region map Senpai just google it
>>43619345
I can't find anything with province names unless province ID numbers count.
>>43619465
Kek, I can try and help,what area are you looking at
>>43619513
Somewhere in the large swath of unclaimed Russian provinces.
More specifically, that one province in the middle between the black dude and shit-colored one. To the right of the province that vaguely resembles a penis.
>>43619580
You don't have to claim so little m8 just claim it is western/eastern Siberia,/urals eg
>>43619695
Wouldn't make sense for such a low population nation, but whatevs.
Gandaj best country.
>>43619301
What are you even doing here if basic geography is a problem?
>>43619943
I never thought memorizing areas of land when I can usually look at a normal map or use the internet to find it, so I pretty much forgot most of that stuff over time.
I could've probably used the internet to find what the area was called, but it said to list the provinces, which I thought meant each individual province for a bit, which confused me.
I was bored. Feel free to comment.
It costs 5 points to increase a general stat and all its specializations, and 2 points to increase a specialization alone.
Going under 0 for a general stats gives 3 points per negative level, going under 0 for a specialization refunds 1 point per negative level.
You start with 18 points.
Every 10 millions RP pop gives an extra point.
All starting stats are 0, meaning average or average for a nation your size.
Economy:
>Civilian industry:
>Arms industry:
>Raw natural resources production:
Finances/diplomacy:
>Currency strength:
>Government budget revenues:
>International reputation/trustworthiness:
Military:
>Land:
>Air:
>Navy:
Technology:
>Civilian:
>Military:
>Secret projects:
When dealing with a nation half their size or below, nations gain +1. When dealing with a nation a fourth their size or below, nations gain +2. When dealing with a nation an eighth their size or below, nations gain +3, etc.
If the two interacting nations are led by asshats and they can't decide who wins and who loses on their own, a simple opposed d6 roll with modifiers can be used to solve the problem, with the biggest roll+modifiers winning. Draws are either accepted as draws or rolled again.

Quick question, I haven't used NS before and I was wondering how to use a custom flag with my nation.
Also, does one join the region after they've made a nation?
>>43623845
I think you need to reach a certain number of population before you can have a custom flag, if im wrong, go to your settings page, under the flag is "Or create your own flag!" Region wise -- http://www.nationstates.net/page=change_region
>>43623803
no senpai.
