Apart from Founderless, Feeder and tag with a description beside them, how does a region qualify for other tags?

It doesn't, the regional control can add, change, or remove the other tags.

Needs a "dictatorship" and "chill" tag.

But nice idea.

Facist: Created
Religious: Created


Founderless: As I've said, this will stay as it is for now, but we are still thinking about better ways to handle this.

Maximum Tags: While I'm not ruling this out, I'm not going to do this yet. I want to see how people use tags before I implement restrictions.

Tag Sorting: Hmm, I thought I fixed that. I'll go in and take care of that. I like the idea of system tags coming after user-set.

Searching Regions: You can't actually sort things by tag, so that doesn't make sense. (You can sort by all of the others since they have good numeric values.)

Issues: Looking into this.

inviting, closed, gated, commonwealth, colony: Interesting ideas. I'll think about them.

Casual: See Social

Fandom: Interesting. We'll think about it.

"Old" tags: Not yet. It takes time and we'll think about it.

Anti World Assembly: Where does the hyphen go?

Password Protected: This will need to be a system tag, so definitely won't happen soon.

Chaotic: We'll think about it.

Swkoll now presents: The helpful list of requested tags!
(Ones that SS hasn't mentioned yet anyway)

[Tag requested], [reasoning]

Requested tags:
1. Real Nation Based
2. # of Embassy tag
3. Paradise
4. Intellectual
5. RL Nation specific tags, telling that the region is for people in the USA or UK or Netherlands
6. Nazi
7. Dictatorship

General Suggestions:
1. Medium-sized rather than medium
2. Change Anti World Assembly to Anti-World Assembly

I have a suggestion: would it be possible to add the tag information to the daily XML file? This would be very helpful to external NS sites.

The "w" in NSwiki is lowercase.

edit: does any page in NS actually link to this tag cloud? Because this new function is useless without an easily accessible cloud/index.

We've got "serious" and "silly", why not add "casual" for those somewhere in between?

The World - at the top it says: "The world contains 91,769 nations in 8,097 regions (tags)."

I believe the intention is to also add it to the 'change region' page.

"Casual" and "social" are not nearly equivalent.

I would also like to see a (can't think of a good name) "Currently looking for nations to fill government positions in our region" tag.

Possibilities:

Help Wanted
Delegates Desired
Unfilled Leadership

That's All I can think of, at the moment. I'm not sure if anyone else has given Ideas, but these are my suggestions. the second one would work better for a region that has no WA delegate, though.
GENERATION 24: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.

Under attack tag, a call for defenders.

Erm... if a region is being invaded, and the founder/delegate is around to update tags, they should be able to kick the invaders too. If the region has already been invaded, then it'll be the invader delegate able to set the tags.

They might not have enough influence to kick the invaders, but have enough to set-up tags.

That would be pretty daft. They could just telegram defenders for help.

Some tags should definitely be added to the XML file. This would be very helpful.
