So Nation states is a great game, but i kind of feel like a lot of what makes it good is not actually in the game?
Im still pretty new so i might be wrong in all of this, but national stats (like population, economy, etc) don't actually affect anything (except for the things you unlock when you have a higher population) and issues don't really matter either. Like having a high weaponisation doesn't actually do anything but give you bragging rights if your in the top percentile.
From what i can see all of the good stuff in nation states is related to RPing and social stuff and raiding and defending. Am i right or wrong in this assumption? (Im new so im still trying to get a feel for the game and how to best enjoy it)
