What is the approximate time scale of Nationstates time to real time? I ask mainly so that I can switch out leader names at an appropriate rate to keep with the style of nation I've made.

Or... no correlation at all. You can say it's been a thousand year war, when it's been 3 days.

Time is relative. Or more accurately considering that NS involves a multi-verse time as a liner measurement is meaningless.

I always enjoy branching timelines. =3

Fatatatutti runs in real time but the characters never age.

Our political system allows changing the Cabinet any time we feel like it instead of at regular intervals. We recently replaced our reliable-but-boring Health Minister (think Doc Adams from Gunsmoke) with a more interesting Sophia Loren lookalike.

Time is simultaneous. Therefore there is no such thing as a "timeline".

In NationStates, time irrelevant. Both in-game and out-of-game.

I was always under the impression that time in NationStates was faster than time in our world. Something like seven years a real year? Or seven months a real month? Something involving a seven...

That was the impression I had been under as well- I had two other nations previously, though I've forgotten a great deal since then. :oops:

Well, my population is growing like streptococci in a petri dish... :unsure:

I just judge it on my own time tables. I wouldnt say there exists a ration between IRL time and NS time. Just decide when your leader dies, write it in your Factbook and your good.
