I am stuck as a Corrupt Dictatorship and I need some issue pointers on how to get up to becoming Iron Fist Socialists Because my country would fit better as that. Is there Any issues to look for, how to activate them, and what to choose?

Increase your civil rights however you will need to be careful to not increase political freedom as a few issues can increase both like permitting protests.

I accidentally created a Grug Island space program.

Grug build big catapult, throw people up into sky?

Are there any issues that ban space travel yet or do I just have to wait for one to be made?

There are, already.

Is it possible to export a region's RMB as a text file, in order to have a record of it? If so, how would I go about it?

I saw something like that in my other nation. I think that what they did was quote the text, copy the coding for it, then pasted it in a factbook. I can't be certain that's what they did though.

I don't know of one that does but you can always write your own issue if you feel it needs to be done. Talk to the people over at The Writer's Block for help and suggestions.

Does anyone know of an api system that is mobile device friendly?
I know most of them are just for desktop.

You can only quote individual posts — I want to save all posts, and it would be exceptionally tedious to quote each one.

You could try using the snipping tool or screenshot. Just save it as an image and post it in the factbook.

Maybe you have the time to do that for 800 pages of posts...but I don't.

You need to get a bit techy about it. Have a look at the API documentation, particularly https://www.nationstates.net/pages/api.html#regionapi-shards,
In there this section is relevant

**** messages: Returns messages posted on a regional message board. By default, returns the 10 most recent messages, sorted from oldest to newest. Accepts additional optional parameters:

limit=(maximum number of messages): Return this many messages. Must be in the range 1-100.
offset=(number): Skip the most recent (number) messages.
fromid=(post ID number): Instead of returning the most recent messages, return messages starting from this post ID.

It will still take you a number of calls because of the 100 message limit, but should be quicker than a manual extract. If you know any scripting then you should be able to automate the whole thing.

Where am I at in the political stance. I need to go up not right. I don't have a issue yet that allows voting.

You need to be around 34 or 36 points or in the Some category. Right now looking at graph you're at around 33 so ur close. There are other issues that increase political freedom like allows corporations to campaign and run, donations, and more electoral representation.

Restrict economic freedom. Any choice that clamps on business freedom like regulations, turning companies to state own, price control, minimum wage, ect. But there are a few issues that are difficult to know if they affect it so you can skip if not sure or look up a resource.

Uhh that's why, see this chart? viewtopic.php?f=12&t=476334
You need lower economic freedom. So do things a socialist or a liberal would do. Allowing immigration would be allowing more economic freedom since companies can have more flexibility and hire more workers.

You'll want the rp boards for that, not Gameplay

How do you make an alliance with someone?

[Borovan entered the region as he]

How do you make an alliance with someone?

hola welcome to NS u can make alliance with someone by developing a relationship with them one way is by embassies see embassy guide. If u don't wanna read all that simply telling someone you want to build embassy with them is suffice. U can also tell nations you're holding a ball, party or conference and invite nations to attend it. In that event u set what's going to happen there and what type of nations are invited
