When I was reading the topic here in this forum about the Basics of Military Gameplay I came across about Puppet Nations that alarms me a little, and if that happens why the game doesn't ban players to have multiple nations?

It has strings attached to its head, hands and feet.

On a serious note, you're allowed to have as many nations as you want - but only one can be in the World Assembly at any one time.

Ha! but really why would someone want multiple nations when its very hard to keep in touch with it?!

There's multiple reasons; it helps to have multiple nations in Raiding & Defending, people may want to participate in multiple regions at once, or they may want to get more than 2 issues per day. I'm pretty sure there are additional reasons to those, as well.

I would go by the number of post on the forum vs. the age of the nation. If old nations that have no or very few posts suddenly show up on forums, that should raise a red flag, same with newly created nations that post the same option as an old one above it. For example, I exposed someone who was using the same puppet nations they created to populate their region casting written votes on a forum. They never posted for those nations until this particular vote came up, then they all came out of the woodwork, and you could tell by the very unique stile of writing the person was using they where all played by the same person. You don't have to be a detective to figure it out, just be observant and put the facts together.

Your welcome. there where some other "tells' that gave away that particular Puppet Flooder now that I think about it. The mod stepped in and the vote was shut down. I'm not sure if anyone got into trouble, but they did piss the mod off and broke rules, that I do know.

You can't. I have a plethora of puppets, BTW.

The only other way to tell a puppet nation is if they actually tell you they're a puppet.

Cause collecting is a fun selfish hobby I think.

I after I read more about puppet nations I made two puppet nations in two different regions to serve as "satellites".

I specified them as colonies, and added info in their fact books and labeled them as puppet nations to avoid confusion and understand better.

Strange... I feel like the odd one for being a puppet nation of High-Chief Hippy. I'll...I'll just go.
