If it has more ‘Top X’ symbols it gets my vote unless I recognize the name.

First I check if it's a card farm. If it is, the other one wins automatically. Second I check their worldbuilding. Then I resort to the niceness factor.

Ngl though I just vote on the first one, go and vote one the other first one, repeat the process. Although I might go a little checking first.

Heheh just joking. I look at the population, amount of money, civil rights, economy, political freedom, and well most stats like 10% 5% and 1%. If a nation has more than the other then that nation gets a point and whoever gets the most point will be picked by me. If they tie then it’s neither.

Based on how good I think their motto is
The Jacobin destruction of the Sistine Chapel causes the papacy to be moved to Vienna, and become incorporated directly into the House of Habsburg and Austrian politics

And by some series of not yet spelled out so consider it alt-hist wizardry, the Archduchy of Austria becomes a semi-democratic federation in order to keep the nation stable, while the monarchy still retains some executive authority

Considering the vast amount of puppets, this is not a very well-thought out system. Unless clicking "Neither" starts filtering those nations from the queue, this entire event is basically a crapshoot.

I hope there's some sort of wrinkle that comes in later, because at the moment this is bland at best

Got to say, it's not very compelling voting for Card Farm 9468 or Card Puppet 9561. I want some good nations.

Basically: Once you see Yahlia, vote for Yahlia. The most influential nation that I see on there so far is Euroslavia the mod, so it's not all puppets.

And I saw the legendary SalusaSecundus. Good nations do show up, just not often.

Anyone else find this event the most boring one yet?

I feel like this could actually be a really fun and interesting game.

...The problem is that you have maybe a few hundred active NS players ranking 240,000+ nations. Unless this goes on indefinitely, most nations will be lucky to get 1 or 2 matches. Maybe only WA nations should have been ranked, given that the vast majority of non-WA nations are puppets for card farming or R/D or whatever the Wombles are supposed to be for.

I'll keep clicking. Maybe I'll see one of my nations, but I probably won't. Only 2/40 had even been in a match last I checked :P

"Natives"

The Wombles are a mass of puppets created by a group of players to make the largest region in NS for...fun, I guess?
