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?
