I need help how do you raid and defend?

[The Industrial City]

Raiders enter regions and endorse other raiders, who receive the WA delegacy. This only works if the WA delegate has executive power, in which case they can do pretty much whatever they want. Defenders do the same, but with the purpose of protecting regions. This is the simple way of explaining it, and you need to be a WA member to do it.

Big Raider Regions: The Black Hawks, Lone Wolves United, Lily

Big Defender Regions: 10000 Islands, The Order of the Grey Wardens, The Rejected Realms

New dedicated defender regions that you should check out: Interregional Alliance Army, Founderless

Edit: The big regions will be able to train you on how to raid and defend.

Hello,
I'm the World Assembly Delegate for my region and I was wondering how bans would work. There is a nation I'm hoping to ban, and I'll have enough influence to ban them soon. It seems like nations who are not in the region but were in the region recently (if they were on the regional happenings list) can be banned with no influence cost? Does it cost less influence to ban a nation directly, or does it cost less to eject a nation, then ban them?

Thank you!

I’ve been playing this Game for about a few months now, and I was wondering how do Issue numbering work? Like is the numbering in order or is it randomly generated? It’s hard to tell how far I am, because I think I’m around 500-600, but I feel like I missed a few issues in the 200s. It would also help if I can see what issues I did. So, is the issues numbering random or in order?

The numbering is based on when the issue was added to the game. It doesn't relate to the order you might get them in - plus they can repeat.

If you like spoilers, there's a list of all the current issues here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=88

[Authoritaria-Imperia]

Question: How can I crash my economy? It's currently near 100 points, because I used to want a good economy, but I've now decided to try and get all the banners. I've heard that at some point the stat stabilises — is there a way (or a specific issue, perhaps) that'll help me get it out of the stable zone?

Consistently answer issues that make your economy worse, and eventually it'll drop.

Thanks. Do you know if it'll eventually destabilise to where I can drop it more than 0.08% at a time?

[Almonaster Nuevo]

It'll do that now. You just haven't hit the right issues yet.

[Slaver Pirates of Vaas]

If I were to join the WA, would that force a lot of changes to my nation? I know in the help sections it does say you have to follow the laws the WA passes. Does that mean if I have a policy like slavery, will it get immediately cancelled?

[Almonaster Nuevo]

No. AFAIK there is no effect on policies.

While you are a member you will get stat changes when WA legislation passes, similar to the effects of an issue. If there is one you really don't like you can resign just before it passes and rejoin afterwards.

[Hrvatsko-Bosnjacka unija]

I havent answered any issues in like a month and it fell from very strong to strong?

[Almonaster Nuevo]

I see you've just left the WA. While you were a member, the resolutions would have affected your stats. In this case, I think you lost 1 point when the Fair Arbitration Act passed.

[Slaver Pirates of Vaas]

Is it possible to increase recreational drug use, while not also increasing civil rights? Those two stats seem highly connected with each other.

[Almonaster Nuevo]

Not really. Allowing drug use is a civil liberty. You can however decrease other liberties to compensate - CL does not have a major effect directly on drug use.

[Fourth Reich 4]

Are there concepts like declaring war and occupation in this game?

[Slaver Pirates of Vaas]

Are there concepts like declaring war and occupation in this game?

There's no mechanism for it, but you can RP wars between nations and can invade regions. But invading regions is a different topic that someone else can help you with.

For my issue: I've noticed that some people have been able to design their factbooks like Wikipedia pages. How is this done and how can I make my factbooks look like Wiki pages?

[Gamerston]

Hay guys

So I came back to nationstates after a long time of not playing and I have a few things on my nation that I'd really like to chance (the main one being that my economy sections I banned video games) is it possible to change it or do I have to wait for it to come up in an issue??

You can change your "things" by waiting for a reversal issue, yes

Most factbooks I see are role play related so I'm assuming you mean those guides.

[Naranjs]

Hello, what do you gain from winning a Nation Challenge? Is there any use of those points?

[Almonaster Nuevo]

Nope. It's just a game in its own right.
