Not Sure Where To Put This So I Made A Very Long Title

I know this isn't a suggestion or problem so that explains the title. However I was wondering if there were more recent figures on the number of nations ever created in Nationstates?

At present, there are 2,565,160 archived nations. There were some number of nations that never got saved (including my first nation, sadly), and there are 53,258 nations currently alive.

What, really? I don't recall that.

I think when the servers crashed back in the good old days...?

Yeah, Salusa told me back when I joined the team, since I was still hoping to find it. You'll have to ask him about it. But trust me, I had a nation sometime in the spring and summer of 2003, and it sure isn't in the archive.

Thank you, very interesting to know that.

As far as I'm aware, we have every nation ever created. The only exceptions are nations consumed by the "The 0 of 0" bug and not manually restored from backup, and those created during the few hours before the Great Disk Space Disasters of 2005 & 2006.

I remember reading about that from the news page and Max's blog site
