Oldest Nations in NS

[Errinundera]

Errinundera was created on Christmas Eve 2002 - about 6 weeks after NS began. The reason why we are behind population wise is we were a couple of years out of the game.

i am a baby compared to the actual elders of NS, god damn

[Etrusci Imperium]

I think the oldest known nation is Maxtopia

[Toronina]

I think the oldest known nation is Maxtopia

Thats basically the concensus. Its either that or Testlandia which based on the name, was created by Max as a test

[Anarchitaria]

To me anyone who didn't remember the horror that was Nationstates 2 and the Jolt era is a newbie.

I feel,like an elder on NS, but I am but a mere child. And, forgive me if I ask, but what is NS2?

Something that shalt never be spoken of again...

*shivers*

Jolt.

From what I've gathered, a demon spawn "sequel" to NS made by a company called Jolt. It was a clusterfuck apparently, extremely broken and eventuall shut down in the guise of "repairs."

Thats what I know. It was before my time.

It's good to see the histories passed down through the forums are still accurate. NS 2 was never stable, much less an improvement over Nationstates, and it died a well deserved death.

Judging just by population, I’d say the current oldest living nation is Kyupaa currently. Although that may not be the correct answer. The oldest created nation is Maxtopia.

NS2 was long before I started playing, but I learned some things about it in the News tab thing.

Hah! I'd almost forgotten about that little 'venture'.

Based on how everyone talks about that time, it seems many are eager to forget

Hello there! Well, umm, late post here, but of course, I am far from being the oldest.

The oldest nation I have is Valentine Z, which is found in the November of 2015, after my friend shared*** it with me.

*** EDIT: I want to clarify this phrasing. It's NOT that my friend shared her account and password with me. She shared to me about the game, that's how I knew about it, and created my own nation!

With that said, I have heard from TET that you cannot use Population as an indicator. There was apparently a bug (way before I start my nation), whereby some nations get 2x population increase for some period of time.

Ahhh thank you.

[Katganistan]

I think the oldest nations here have long since gone to play NS2 and other Jolt games...

Where they were caught in a money-sucking whirlpool, never to be seen again?

[Alanis Star]

TIL more that there's actually NS 2 (which ended up sucking).

Please, nobody can top the OG NationStates.

[Luna Amore]

Well here's the earliest screen cap of NS I think we have. 16 nations. Small world: https://www.nationstates.net/images/earlyns.png

Holy shoot, that screams of early 2000s.

That's going into my image folder.

Just for comparison with today: The world contains 174,209 nations in 21,176 regions.

Anyone who has Antiquity as their found date is either an elder god, or a great old one.

I was there of old, when we pulled down their temples! They are mortal, I tell you!

*consults a table device* Yes, about that, you still owe for the janitorial services.

Yeah. Thanks. I had to move into a nursing home.

Yep!

Christ, I thought I was here for a long time.
Although my original account stems from '04. But I forgot my password and the email I used for it has long disappeared.

NS2 was great.
I spent a whole 20 minutes on that amazing experience before deleting again.

Interesting. What was NS2 like for you? Awesome?

[Juristonia]

No, it was a trainwreck.
I literally can't remember a single good thing about it.

[Cill Airne]

Sometimes I feel old on here. My first nation was founded in '08 or '09. It's just a shame I can't remember the name of it anymore.

[Abbicallium]

I'm old. Reploid Productions is older. Your post needs beefing up because there's really no discussion set up.
