How to get more citizens?

[Coolidgegolia]

Hello, I am quite new to Natationsates.org and wanted to know how to you get more citizens for your nation. Thank you.

The nation simply expands as you play.
It expands at about 1 million per a day, then around 2 million per day when you reach 16 million, I think. When you hit 100 million, it starts climbing at about 5-6 million per day. I'm at 370 million, and it increases at 7 million per day for me.

Some issues (though I'm not sure which) will affect the growth rate either positively (increasing it) or negatively (reducing it - forced disappearances, executions, birth control etc)

Daaaaaaaamn, 370 and you've been here two months? I've been here way too damn long. But yeah, what he said.

To sum up my two esteemed colleagues.....


Wait. It'll grow.

Yeah, but it's exam time and I'm considering Vacation Mode'ing my nation
Everything just stops, doesn't it? The population doesn't increase and issues don't come up, right?

If I recall correctly, the population does increase while your nation is in vacation mode. However, yes, issues do not come up while you are in VC.

No, issues don't affect population.
Yes, population increases while in vacation mode.
In the first few weeks, new nation's population grows by set numbers (1 million, 2 million, etc), then it grows by 5-8 million per day. In my experience, over time it averages out to about 6 million a day.

Pretty much this.

+ 1 million per day for 5 days, then + 2 million per day for 5 days, then + 3 million per day for 5 days, then + [5 to 8, determined randomly each day] million for each day after that...

[Luna Amore]

Ah thanks, Bears. Couldn't recall the exact day/number, and searching the forums on this phone is a crapshoot.

Yeah, when you are on vacation mode the population does not increase, issues do not come up, and if you leave it on vacation mode for than 60 days, your country will be auto-deleted but can be recovered.
