The Imgur post had over 200K views, 13K points, was at one point the 2nd most viral post on the site for the day, and it was directly about NS.
The Reddit thing wasn't a post directly about NS, just a comment within a post--only the 19th top comment with about 700 karma. Plus it was deleted at some point during the influx just a few hours after it was posted.

I assume that some people were just curious as to whether NS was really a "United Nations of Dinguses". This brings to mind a law I unselfishlessly name "Reppy's Law": They always join NationStates when they hear about NationStates, even if you throw Reppy's Law out of the window.

There's also Imgur but I'm not sure if that's so recent.

Anyone who isn't in the WA must have a score of 0. They are all tied for that ranking, but must still be ranked individually. And if WA members make up less than 10% of active nations, then yes, some non-WA members will be in the top 10% for endorsements, just because of the way the game resolves a gigantic tie.

I know that non-WA members have a score of 0 (and I think that the rankings are sorted by date of foundation, so Fatatatutti is ranked higher than us because they had a 10-year headstart), but what I don't know is how non-WA nations end up above WA nations with no endorsements in the rankings. (Note: the WA population of NationStates is about 13%, yet Fatatatutti ended up in the top 10% of WA endorsements despite being a non-member.)
(MODS: If you think this constitutes a thread of its own, then split it off!)
