NationStates in your country

by **Syrusia (Ancient)** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:36 pm

This is about the website of NationStates in international countries around the NS world. So I bring up this question: Is NationStates legal in your country?

If the answer is no, then why?

Here in Syrusia, NationStates is illegal to play on "due to the threat of communism, anarcho-capitalism, radical Islam, and Nazism putting propaganda into the minds of the players".

A bizarre conspiracy theory exists that dictates all of reality takes place within a simulation game called "NationSates", such people are to mad even for Mackonia.

According to the 2014 census, 100% of Calabarzonians do not know what "a NationStates" is, however, government simulation games such as NationStates are legal, with the most popular being Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis IV and Victoria II.

Something like this really.
A small fringe of those conspirators also believe in the "Creator".

We have never heard of this 'NationStates' but we have something similar: Virtual Countries, where the players create their own virtual nation, build its economy, infrastructure, and military, and attack other nations in real-time. There is an emphasis on forming alliances with other players in order to ensure your own survival and it's not uncommon for them to do roleplays based on these wars on the on-site forums.

Same for Deneclia.

(and by the way, hello to all the wonderful people playing Paradox games)

This conspiracy also alleges Cyrzarii don't exist and were thought up by a human living in the northern wastes of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and that while Cats do exist they can't talk.

Nutters.

NationStates is legal, though it is a slightly different version in which none of the nations here exist.

We have 2 free online games which are much like NationStates. These are Wankperium:Absolute Warfare, where users enagage in perpetual battles over petty things like insults and elections; and then we have a more refined twin named "God's & Wankers", where Deus ex Machina and other irrational tropes occur more often than human blinking.

There are communities within these games that attempt to make intriguing and interesting activities within their own settings, but their numbers are so low they become an exception rather than the rule.

A small, but active community plays in Darwin-Brentylvania.

A based-off NS website called StatesNation is available. It's identical to NS except for the name

Breaking the fourth wall is illegal in our empire.

by **-Greenland** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 4:41 pm

Legal although no one plays it.

Huh, I remember seeing a thread that said something about NationStates, but I guess I wanted to bring it back up.

Is NationStates legal in your country?
Yes

by **Desmendura** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 12:34 am

It is legal and popular. About 68,000 Desmendurans play it. Even the High Emperor has his own nation there. Its name? Desmendura.

You are not allowed to break the 4th wall in Soled.

by **Hazamaeia** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:16 am

it's available in Hazamaeia, but only few citizens play it

by **The Time Alliance** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 5:50 pm

Breaking the fourth wall here is frowned upon in most cultures.

by **Helvagon** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 5:52 pm

Oh yeah, we were just introduced to earth's internet and culture about ten years ago, so things like this are a very large trend. In fact, many people have made rip-offs of this game and a few other popular earth ones.

Yes it is legal to visit and participate on such a site in our country. Actually what disgusts Punkvanians is that any government would waste its time censoring such a game and community forum instead of investigating actual disgusting activity that exists in the shadows of the internet. We prefer protecting children from predators, not free thought.

Our internet is heavily regulated enough that children are protected from predators.
