See factbooks. I don't use NSStats. I am Red Mycranianist (Socialist - Authoritarian - Chauvinist) I have an entire universe of the countries I made, and others are involved. I was one of the founders of the DAPolandball community.

Some adspam nations have email addresses, and some legit players prefer not to provide one. It's not that hard to get a throwaway email.

Doesn't work. A site I'm on has that setup, and, every couple of months or so, a new spam account is created, posts twice, and buzzes off. Disqus has an issue where spambots copy users' posts and post them as their own in order to generate a post history before busting out the adspam in order to pretend at legitimacy.
Jebslund is a nation of kerbals ruled by Emperor Jebediah Kerman. We reject tyranny, believing that rights should be protected, though we also believe said rights end where the rights of others begin.
Shockingly, we *do* use NS stats, with the exception of lifespan.
Singular sapient: Jebslunder
Plural Sapient: Jebslunden
Singular/Plural nonsapient: Kermanic
Note: When a verb can logically only be done by the sapient using/piloting/holding the object in question, then the appropriate demonym for the number of sapients is used.

Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism are ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. Stop conflating them with political systems.

Town of Salem tried that and it didn't work. They had to end up going P2P if you want a new account, and I don't want that to happen to NSG.

To be fair, TOS's bot problem was much, much worse.

A peaceful 1930's, including the Polish backing down, mean a failing German economy. Unrest spread among the citizens to the military; ending in a Wehrmacht coup and the installment of war hero August von Mackensen as head of state and the DNVP being a leading party in the country.
