*smiles chillingly*

I was driving down the Information Superhighway one day, minding my own business, when I saw this site lying, right on the shoulder, out in the open! I did what any self-respecting digital citizen would, I kept on driving and turned the radio up. A few days later, though, I had occasion to take that same route and NationStates was still lying there. So ... I kept on driving, naturally, but when I saw it the third time, I had to stop. The rest, as they say, is a long, boring story.

A friend of mine whom I still stay in touch with posted a link to a NS country he created. I became intrigued and created Sarzonia.

Then I found the RP forums. And now 16 years later, I'm still here (even though the friend who found this isn't).

I googled "Government Simulation Game" and this was the one of the first results and I just jumped on the wagon.

Been on and off here and there (including my country CTEing), but for like a year now, I've been active in the forums.

I was reading about micronations. If I remember it correctly there is that line that states some have their own websites, and when I was looking for one, it shows NationStates instead.
The rest is history.

Eh, I probably should provide a real answer at some point.

I was watching Danny Wallace’s series How to Start Your Own Country and wanted to create a micro state too. I think from there someone on livejournel recommended this site to me.

Makes sense, many nations would be dystopias in the eyes of many normal people.

Speaking of novels, I should read “Jeniffer Government”. I’ve been here 12 years and still haven’t gotten around to. I mean, spending over a decade in a forum inspired by it, I should’ve read it a long time ago, right? :p
