Some master at manipulation, of course!
I FIGURED IT OUT! Yohannes is a puppet of them!

The link is to "http://www.nationstates.net"
If you're logged in, that address will send you to your nation.

It's a really old practical joke on the forums.

[Yohannes]

Good job missing the joke

How Do I Apply for the Trainers?

The Trainers are done by an application process from the existing panel judges. Anyone wishing to apply must submit a Single-spaced post detailing a scenario no longer than 1 page, 12 pt Times New Roman font to this thread. For scenarios, applicants must telegram ONLY ONE of the current panel judges (Leistung, Yohannes, Rethan, Santheres, and Cyrupe), who will provide you, the applicant, with a scenario to RP out. You must provide the following information when posting your application:

the Trainer who gave you the scenario
the exact scenario you are RPing out
the application scenario post itself
any extra details and notes at the end that you may wish to add

Because we value flexibility, it is strongly recommended that you RP the scenario given to you. If you have a problem with the scenario and have a good reason, please notify the panel judge who provided you with the scenario to either provide you with a different one or to forward you to a different panel judge. Reasons for changing scenarios such as "I RP mainly / solely in FT / MT / PMT / PT, so I am very specialized" is a workable reason for changing, but simply "I can't do it", "I don't want to do it", "It's not the scenario I had in mind" will not. Ultimately, panel judges have the final discretion, NOT ME, as to whether they can or should change scenarios or not, so please do not telegram me if they are unwilling to change it. We want to ensure that applicants are experienced enough to deal with most of the problems or scenarios coming their way, rather than cherry picking their results.

Each panel judge will either post their evaluation, opinion and acceptance or rejection of your submitted application either in this thread or directly to me. Once a majority opinion has been formed (3/5 ayes or nays), I will either notify you of your status. If you have been accepted, you will be placed on the NSTrainer list. If you have been rejected, I will summarise all the criticisms from all panel judges for you, as well as provide my own opinion as to why you may have not been accepted.

Question, how long is the typical voting process?

Also

4000 POSTS!!!!

[Vetok]

Question, how long is the typical voting process?

I've been told we can expect a good while (maybe about two or more weeks) for the process turnaround when I asked Jen about it.

Time to sit back and wait then.

Is there anyway that I could try again for being a trainer? If not, I'll just help out as a, unnoticable guy who shall be known to NS as "The Almost Trainer" and still offer my services.

Thanks, just wondering.

Anyone is free to try again - Just telegram a panel judge for a new scenario.

Also, you don't have to be on this list to be someone who actually helps. To be on this list is just to be more officially recognised, par say.

[Crymodynia]

I'd like to apply for some assisstance in how to get started.

I'm supposed to be a planet rather than a nation. On a large, mostly uninhabitable yet mineral rich ice planet Crymodynia on the few parts where settlers have established colonies it has basically become a trading hub on the outskirts of secure space, a sort of intergalactic Switzerland which only has allegiance to itsself. A strong militant and police force, it could be invaded by a higher power but it remains a stronghold within space.

Within the various colonies that occupy roughly 3% of the planets surface area are a population of 3.5 billion and a large economy is generated from there from not just it's huge quantity of natural resources but also it's heavy investment into research and development as they do not follow the same ethical codes as other planets. Thus large corporations rent space there and do their research there thus creating mass employment and a huge market of both high-tier goods and an underbelly "black market" for less tasteful products.

The government is a bureaucracy, a table called the "Crymodynian Beneficiary Group" lead by Richard Callahan IV who owns the colonies and his chief stockholders and donators who together negotiate what is best for business. Human and political freedoms are sacrificed in favour of economic freedom but life is not prohibitive. People often come by looking for work and it's readily available by the barrel as is the money you can earn but this is significantly marred by the fact that free speech is non-existant, protesting is non-existant. If anything gets in the way of making the maximum amount of money possible it is dealt with, usually by the C-1 security group who are specifically contracted to uphold peace within the trading colony.

Sorry. Got carried away. Anyone know how to make a factbook?

There's a very, very nice guide (That I think has been stickied) in F&NI, and thats how I made my factbook. But you're already off to a good start with that introduction there.

So you want to create a factbook for you nation? I can suggest that you read this, as it is the best example on how to create one. Also, you can look at other player's factbooks in the Factbooks and National Information forum. Draw inspiration from there and be as creative as you can.

Hello, welcome to NS!

With regards to factbooks you actually have two choices, the first is simple: Just make a topic here entitled 'Factbook of Crymodynia' or something to that effect, and hold all your information within that topic. Be sure to look at other factbooks, specifically FT ones such as the excellent offering from Huerdae, as well as heading to #NSLegion on the esper network for any advice you might need.

Your second option is to use one of the NS wiki spin-offs (currently there's at least three, NS Wiki, Wikistates and the fledgling II Wiki, which I'm having to plug other Solm will cry.). They are basically NS's equivalent to wikipedia, and some wiki articles go into much more detail than even wikipedia entries for actual nations.

Hope this helps.

[Crymodynia]

excellent offering from Huerdae,

Holy ASS. That's incredible. I don't think mine will be that good.

Aslong as it presents all the information on your nation/planet that you think is worth knowing, then it can always be just as good.

You'll never know how well your factbook is until it is finished. Just do your best.
