Two small suggestions...

Since I can't find anything to the opposite effect or anything two suggestions to the NS interface.

1). Make the display of "Achievements" optional, on some of the larger nations some of them take a while to load and they can be a bit of an eyesore at times. Not to mention that the effects are mentioned in the nation feed already.

2). Remove the flags from endorsements - I can't see what this feature adds, apart from increasingly load times (In some cases quite severely, with Markanite a prime example), because I'm not so sure of the value of the flags apart from identification and if you are looking for a specific person the flag probably doesn't particularly help. Alternatively limit the number of endorsements on display to say 20 and display the rest only on demand (For instance X is endorsed by Y,Z and 30 others.)

Primarily I was thinking some of these could be implemented to reduce load times of nation pages.

Thoughts?

Agreed on both.

Trophies are great, but honestly there's too many of them.

I suppose having them hidden by default, kinda like a spoiler tag. Or even, added to the "Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend" line.

Certainly on the endorsement flag front - at the least on the mobile site/theme it would be nice. Went to open my own page on my phone and forgot that it'd attempt to load 240 flag thumbnails. I'd rather not have to turn images off to go onto NS on my phone because I happen to have a lot of endorsements :P

On this thought it could be possible to have them tabulated instead, so you have the actual number alongside the percentage - something which is just as, if not more so, useful.

Well the badges that you are given list you in terms of world percentage - it would be nice to have the actual ranking (For instance "810th in the world for Largest Defense Forces") saved as well.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about endos. Carry on.
