I can think of

  • China
  • North Korea
  • Iran
  • Cuba
  • Vietnam
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Egypt
  • Pakistan
  • Maybe soon Australia?

Well, none that we know of, though it wouldn't surprise me if at least one if not most of the ones you guessed have it blocked.

Are there any places you don't get any traffic from? That might show you.

Oh, and why Australia?

Given that Max (and, presumably, [violet]) is Australian, if NS ever gets banned here it would be taken offline altogether. Yes, I'm aware that NS is hosted in Canada these days, but I can't imagine Max letting it continue while he's blocked from accessing it.

Also, I've actually went to this site in Vietnam. Nothing really seemed to be blocked at all. Perhaps I just went on the wrong computer?

Well, I would really think that if it were banned, you wouldn't be able to access NS at all because of the server/router thingybob, not the computer.

Facebook was banned in China, but not NS. I was using my laptop, so it had to have been the hotel's WiFi blocking it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit:That would be kinda selfish, though. I mean, really, just coming out of the blue and saying to you very vibrant community: "Welp, the government's banned it over here, so fuck you guys. I'm taking it offline."

As far as I know, there aren't any nations that block NS.

Just employers >_<

Might be in Iran, considering the discourse that goes on in NSG. ALso, that flag that says SEXNATION isn't winning any brownie points.
Quick and dirty guide to factions in Mediterranea, and puppets to serve as examples:
-Free Assembly - decentralized group of local associations. Main faction.
-Workers' Republic - anarcho-syndicalist commune
-República Morsica (Betico)
-Republic of Lusca
-Catholic State (The Archbishop of Siraucsa)

Being a gameplayer in NS has taught me more about what I'll need to know for my future career than what most of school ever told me. The scraps of maths, physics and all the other subjects DO get used on a day to day basis, but not in relation to Urban and Regional Planning :P
