Ideas for Improvement of Nationstates

[Ethica]

Please, Nationstates builders, consider my ideas. these would greatly help all of nationstates.

Idea #1
make the currency conform to singular and plural form (and even objective and subjective form), the same way you have the demonym conform to this. this would make it much easier to read currencies of countries that have differences in grammar (like Ethica Does).
Example:Ethica's National Currency is the Kilo. the plural form of Kilo is not Kilos, like you would expect, but Kiloj (it's Esperanto)

Idea #2
Have an Exchange rate between Nations' currencies and other currencies (real world and Nationstates)
Example: 1K EK = $7.62 USD (EK= Ethikaj Kiloj | USD = United States Dollar)

Idea #3
Have a system where a Nation can have different denominations of their currency
Example: 1/1000th of an Ethican Kilo is called a Speso (plural form is Spesoj) and 1/100th of a United States Dollar is called a cent[/i]

Idea #4
have a customizable field for National Language.
Example: Ethica's National Language is Ethican Esperanto

I agree with 1, and 4.

Numner 2 and 3 are not needed. They are implemented on any NS ECONOMIC based site. Such as ns tracker or nsthirdgeek. 1 can be added to most factbooks, but would be a pretty good idea. Number 4 might be the best one on here. The idea could be implemented in the future.

[Ethica]

number 4 was the most important of my ideas.

[Herrebrugh]

The reason factbooks have been implemented is so that you yourself can add additional information that isn't mentioned on the normal nation page. As far as I've heard, there is currently no effort being made to add more custom fields for your nation page to the settings.

[Osgalia]

I agree with 4th as well.

I would enjoy both liberal and conservative versions of the Rift theme.

[Smig]

1 is the only one that I think should be implemented. Like others mentioned, you could just put it in a factbook. Maybe you could just save it for issues where it would normally say "Kilos", like the demonyms.

[Cornupication]

Number one has the most chance of being implemented, and even that's a long shot. Two and three can be done with NSTracker easily, and the fourth one is the exact reason that Factbooks were created. It's been said several times by Fris that no more customizable fields will be added, at least not anytime soon.

that was the intended purpose.

If we keep pushing for them, eventually they will give in.

Some extra fact book pages or something because I like put my storefronts in my factbook at my nation besides the forums to keep track to least have. Some of the banners from the Rift banners could easily be used to symbolize at top header what area of industry your storefront is geared too.

But we don't need them. As I've said the point of factbooks is so you can tell people about anything you please in relation to your nation. There's no point in adding a field for every single little thing when you can add it yourself with a factbook.

Uhh, no. The quote you're looking for is "If we keep pushing them, eventually they will become so annoyed they won't read anything we post."

[AHSCA]

I personally would like to see a National Language, in fact I'm really surprised it hasn't been implemented yet. I do understand we have the nice factbook sections but seems fitting you would include national language with capital city, leader, animal and currency.

[Glorious KASSRD]

I like those ideas.

[Laevendell]

I could implement several of these types of suggestions in the NSDroid Android app, through the use of dispatches, however, since I can only get the formatted issue texts (with names of currencies and such already resolved), it could not be applied to issues.
You could have information added to your nation's description (in the app), such as national language, but perhaps it's enough to be able to put it in factbooks anyway?
