New Stats

[Merni]

Not exactly all-encompassing, but I've tossed together a couple of dispatches that present some of this information:

Dude that’s amazing how did you get all of this information

As the dispatch says, from the API daily dumps.

@Refuge Isle I just want to say, I love you. Surprised how infrequent players answer though.

@Refuge Isle I just want to say, I love you. Surprised how infrequent players answer though.

The stat was added semi-recently - in the last few years, I can't find a specific date - so those counts are at best 5-6 years old. The top issues-answer by Refuge's data, Australian rePublic, has answered just a little over 5 years worth of issues (at 4 issues per day), so that's likely the rough timeframe I'd date the stat to.

It seems low, but if you keep in mind that it's at best 5 years worth of issues, then most people's numbers are still pretty high.

More I thought there would be a far greater proportion of older nations who answered daily or semi daily.

Right, that's what you meant.

That's an interesting observation, though it could be the case that many older nations probably joined at a time of very-slow-issues, got used to that pace, and then didn't speed up when the option became available? I also see a lot of older nations around that don't answer issues much at all, probably because they got tired of the repetition over the years.

Passively, I'm mildly concerned for when this data will be overrun with card farms

But outside of this, it may not be compiled too often. Fun trivia, though.

Oooh, that's lovely! Thanks, Refuge! :3

Now what I wanted to do is to get the Issue Answered stat from an API call, through a shard. People told me that I can use the daily dumps, but the daily dumps don't have every single stat in detail, and thus is why I do the time-consuming approach of combing through every nation.

Hopefully one day it will be added!

Great
Does anyone have any other ideas for new stats that can be added into the game

Maybe telegrams received, RMB posts made, RMB posts liked, dispatches made, dispatches upvoted, dispatches downvoted, etc, etc.

btw OP, you might want to add that there's a beta page for new stats that might be added and/or changed.

anyways I think a cool stat would be # of posts. There are many people who frequently use NS and have for years. But when you go on their nation page they look like a useless nation that does nothing. A nice stat to add would be their # of posts.

[Melicorium]

Sounds like a great stat to flex.

[Wink Wonk We Like Stonks]

are there stats for imports/exports?
if not, that seems like it would be a good addition.

Not sure about Imports, but I reckon that the Industry and Sector stats are export stats, the metrics of how much of that industry a country has and produces.

Yes Yes Yes Yes
