144326 nations on nation states and why did you join.

Postby Timsvill » Mon Mar 30, 2015 7:42 pm

So since the 4 million nation served is a lie, I went to the world census and looked at how many nations were on there. It showed 144326 nations. That maybe less then 4 million, but thats still a lot of people. And every day, if your in one of the pacific regions, you see new nations being made every day, every hour. It just amazes me how many people have decided to join this site.
So you may be asking "what are we suppose to discuss about". Well, I guess why you joined is a good start.

I joined because I wanted to find a nation sim game that wasn't too hard. A thing I didn't have to buy, something that was fun. That's why I joined NS. When I joined, little did I know that I would get 3 years of laughter, joy, discussion, and fun. Thank you max berry for making this site. Thank you mods for making this site even better. Thank you to all the people who have joined. Bringing laughter, joy and arguments. :clap:

Still there are thousands of active nations and many more are formed every single day.

Max told me about it.

* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania

I got disillusioned with a previous country simulator, which I switched to when I got disillusioned with the one before that, which I switched to when I got disillusioned with the first one.

I didn't choose the NationStates life, the NationStates life chose me.
I googled something along the lines of "how to make your own country."
