Hi,

I'm in the region of The Normburg Pact, and our Founder and Delegates have both been deleted for inactivity. I am the only Officer, with control over Embassies.
Nobody has control over anything else. Would it be possible for me to get further permission over the region to put some more life into it, after the deletion of our Founder and Delegate?

Thanks.

116 minutes ago: Galiantus V endorsed The People's Republic of Marxalium.

Raiders notwithstanding, your WA endorsement by Galiantus will make you WA Delegate (with executive authority, i.e. the "further permission" over Normburg you desire) during Minor Update, i.e. about 9 hours from now. ;)

Hey Marx! I do suggest you appoint a couple of officers with border control and all that, in case you lose the delegacy.

Population goes up naturally over time. At every update (twice a day) your population increases by a few million. General rule of thumb is larger population = older nation.

A MK III cure missile is originally from the Z-Days we have did over the past years, and I believe it's supposed to cure other zombies who are trying to dehumanize the population.

Good region for casual/largely inactive

Postby Tsukaba » Thu Feb 08, 2018 5:54 pm

Would anyone happen to know any good regions for someone who will be a casual player? I don't plan on being super active, and would rather just play every once and a while. I'm probably inclined to leave my country on vacation mode when I'm not interested in playing.

You could move your country to The West Pacific, The East Pacific, or The South Pacific for a casual gameplay.

“Suicide while in police custody” should just be changed to “Suicide” in the leading causes of death in a nation.

It's very unlikely that a single nation will qualify to receive every issue... Anyway, most issues can re-occur, randomly: You don't just get each one that you qualify for once only.

ROC Union wrote:Is it possible to address more than 4 issues per day?

Only at the start of a nation's existence, when it initially receives issues much more rapidly but then slows down to a maximum of 4/day... Unless you write an issue that's accepted into the game, in which case you'll receive that issue (even if your nation wouldn't qualify for it normally) even if you currently have five issues queued up waiting to be answered and so could have an extra issue to answer on that day.

What does it mean when a region is a war zone?

Also, what does it mean when a region has been taken over by raiders?

War zones are regions made by administration for people to fight over. The main thing is that bans are not permanent, so fighting can go on indefinitely. Not many people care to raid these though.

A region being taken over by raiders is exactly what it sounds like, a group of us raiders go into a founderless region and take the delegate spot, thus giving us complete control, like we just did in Iran.

legislation passed...oopsy

Postby Lesbiana Mariposa » Sun Mar 04, 2018 10:58 pm

So, I was given an issue...but the way I tackled it gave me an outcome I am NOT happy with:



Get Teens Out of MyFace?

LEGISLATION PASSED
The fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen.

Is there a way to turn this around? I do NOT like that :eek: :(

There is no undo button for issues sadly, choices not turning out the way you expected is something that happens in real life and in game.

The good news is that by answering future issues more in line with what you want, especially with how young your nation is, will get things back on track

Wait, that demographic is capable of watching MORE porn than it already does?!

In all seriousness, it will leave your recent happenings and you can simply ignore it/pretend it never happened. That's what I do with issue results I don't like.

Why doesn't nationstates have a way to view which countries in each region are on so that we can interact with each other more. As well, for role-play regions to keep people engaged in the game.

Headlines

Postby Leporidaeland » Sat Mar 17, 2018 9:21 pm

Are the headlines in the newspapers we see after our decision on an issue dependent on our choice? I usually see headlines that seem completely unrelated to the issue.
I also saw a headline about teens achieving high in school after I made a decision that, even after expanding the consequences to see the more detailed report, did not increase Intelligence or Public Education. Do our stats play a role in the headlines?
