Does the AN write good factbooks

Postby Republics of the Solar Union » Mon Apr 08, 2024 2:26 pm

Self-explanatory. The UCP has very detailed factbooks. But what many people don't know is that AAN of the OP is actually Forum 7. And Forum 7 has thousands of great excellent factbooks. 11/10 for F7.

Not really. They're extremely basic, most are less than two sentences, if that. No formatting, nothing that you couldn't bang out in less than two minutes. There are replies in Reddit thread arguments that are more detailed and longer than these factbooks.

Are you aggressively coked-out? Do you join regions for no reason? Do you like copious amounts of drugs, eating Mexican food from taco trucks and the searing hot desert sun? Join Calexico and Mexicali then, moron.

Uhh, not the best factbooks I have ever read, not the worst either. Generally goodly formatted and written, 6/10.

Ninja'd: Their factbooks aren't the longest but nice. Provide some basic information for the nation and interesting enough. 5/10, they just could be longer.

actually most are more than two sentences, the only one that doesn't fit this description is the Tuvan Genocide one. /skipme

More effort than I put into mine, considering the subdivisions of theirs.
Tech level: Borderline MT/PMT in the Frontier Territories, late PMT with FT elements in the “home system.” Semi-isolationist. Based on Signalis’ Eusan Nation and Eusan Empire, controlling both of their former territories plus territories in the NS world, which are the base of operations for RP scenarios. Demographics of NS territories leans strongly towards more Replikas than humans. (the term Gestalt has been abolished in this timeline) Most NS stats are non-canon, though they generally paint an ok picture of how things are. Autocracy and No Immigration are not canon. Partially based on my IRL views.

Canon population in the Frontier Territories: 180M
Canon population in the home system: ~40B (roughly, spread out over 6 planets) NOTE: the home system is rarely used for RP.

There are several factbooks with a few lines.
As far as I can tell - AN has not written good factbooks, yet.

Yeah, just, they write good factbooks. But a lot of their factbooks are not necessarily related to IC topics, okay I may have worded that incorrectly. They could make some factbooks on some topics that they haven't covered yet. Overall definitely a 8/10.

They're okay. Not that I can talk as all of my factbooks are WIPs.
The alternate official name is Tír na nÓg. Elves, leprechauns, dragons, and a bunch of other fictional creatures are real. The nation name is technically "Adharcáilí," (pronounced "ay-er-KOH-li") with accents over the third A and second I. However, Nationstates doesn't allow accents in nation names, so that's why I don't have them in the nation name. If you would like to refer to Adharcáilí correctly though, use the accents.

The overview and leader factbooks do not use a typical formatting style, and this seems to be a theme for AN's factbooks in general. Additionally, the entries are preeeeeeetty well written.

They are packed full of text, which, while very informative, makes reading their dispatches rather difficult. A lot of good information is included though, and they are well written from a grammar and layout perspective. So I'd say yes. Some more formatting and maybe a few graphics/images would spruce them up a bit more.

They're incomplete, but what's complete so far is good.
NS Stats and Policies have been drained for their Thaumaturgic Energy, and thus only factbooks are canon for this nation.
Seriously, I put a lot of work into them, don't let that be for nothing
In a nutshell: A flawed but ultimately well-intentioned libertarian socialist federation set in a fantastical sorta-post-apocalyptic world inspired by New Weird and Cassette Futurism, on a rugged and only partially tamed continent of scattered ancient ruins, bustling fortress-cities, beautiful but alien wilderness, and above all, boundless hope and opportunity for those willing to fight for it.

Yes. I like the formatting and graphics in the dispatches about the armed forces and political parties. They're a little basic, but better than just endless text spam. I'd love to see some cleaner formatting and maybe some banners in the future.

Hell yeah, they do. They do that awesome website-style factbook thing, which is amazing since it convienient allows all your factbooks to be organically linked, makes your nation seem so much more modern, looks sleek and overall displays a great mastery of BBCode's ability used to the fullest. I love it when Drongonia does it, I love it when you do.
