how did you discover nationstates?

[Valecia]

I was casually on the internet and looked up a game where you could play god. This was the closest it got.

[Nadkor]

I'm not sure, it was about 9 years ago that I registered my first nation, but I think it was linked from another forum I was on at the time.

[The Humanist Federation]

A vision from God.

[Maroza]

I can't remember when but I was on the mudandblood.net forums and someone had their nation linked in their sig.

[Tlaceceyaya]

Someone on a forum I used to go on made a topic about it. About twenty of us came here. I soon discovered the forums. Everyone else is either just doing issues or slowly disappearing.

I was looking for a government based game yahoo answers brought me here about almost a year ago. I had quite playing for awhile then maybe a month or two ago started playing again.

[Napkiraly]

On the Cerberus Daily News forums.

I was studying for a human geography test I had the next day on political geography. The first thing in the chapter was about nationstates, so I looked up Nationstates on google. The first thing that came up was this site. All in all, I didn't do much studying that night.

[SaintB]

I just woke up here, confused, alone, scared...

In the years hence not much has changed.

[The Crimson Realm]

Think I was searching for another "Be a leader" styled game. I play Supremacy and used to be big into eRepublik but... Yeah.

[Hydesland]

I did not discover Nationstates, Nationstates discovered me.

[Neu California]

It was 2006 (I wish I remembered my first nation name, now), and I was reading a political forum for fans of 1984. Someone posted about it, and I came. Basically did nothing with my nation, though

[Hydesland]

Someone posted about it, and I came.

Oh come on it's not that exciting.

[The Serbian Empire]

4chan... Yes, the internet's sewer.

[The Orson Empire]

I typed into Google trying to find a good military game. This is the best it got. The others were MMORPG's.

[Empire of Narnia]

I looked up 'make a nation game'. This was pretty much exactly what I wanted. I was very pleased

[Slarvainian]

One of my friends was looking up ace combat and found the “Your Countries Most Powerful Weapon” thread as a Google option. After looking through the next day he told me about these crazy nutcases who were on the internet. Well about a week later I joined. Now a few months later almost all of my buds our nutcases.

[The Federal Republic of Varsal]

Quite Accidentally. I was looking up Stonehenge from Ace Combat 4 and Some nation had that in a "whats your nations most powerful thing" thread. I showed my friend and he made a nation. then I did too.

[West Vandengaarde]

Was looking for nation simulation games after being disappointed with other ones and found this one.

[Meryuma]

I just found out my copy of Civ 4 wouldn't work on my new computer so I was looking for something to fill the void.

4chan... Yes, the internet's sewer.

4chan ≠ /b/.

Coincidence? I think not.

Hey Varsal I just told them how we all got on here. HA look at that.

[Sedikal]

I looked up "make your own nation" and found this I registerd my first nation in 2008.

[The Federal Republic of Varsal]
