[Utopia FTW]

Hi, my name is Chris, I'm a joint International Relations and Modern History major here at the University of St. Andrews.

Despite being Californian born and raised, I'm a hard core libertarian who tends to swing towards republicans in elections. However, if you ask me I don't like democracy too much, and wish we could hurry up and find a way to effectively implement a benevolent dictatorhsip or meritocracy already. I'm trying to run my nation like a benevolent dictatorial meritocracy.

Being a 40k gamer, addiction to Games Workshop's plastic crack absorbs a good chunk of my free time and disposable income, but with what I have left, I tend to buy books, especially of a military historical nature. I fancy myself a future arm chair general, and I tend to enjoy the reading. I also spend a lot of time online, favorite sites being here and TV Tropes.

Favourite Books: Sum of All Fears, Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, At Dawn We Slept, Brave New World, Anthem
Favourite TV Shows/Anime: Mythbusters, Colbert Report, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Axis Powers Hetalia, Star Trek: TNG Star Trek: DS9
Favourite Movies: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Room (for snarking of course) War Games, most anything by Mel Brooks.

Because of the red, I think you're whack!

[Tiami]

My names Christopher, but everyone calls me Chris. I also have many nicknames =D
Anyways, you may recognize me from my earlier nation.(R.I.P)
On to the real part; I'm almost twenty-two years old and a Mixed Martial Arts Fighter(5-0).
I live in Virginia in the United States, but will be moving to Denver this Summer, hopefully.
I enjoy training for upcoming fights, spending time with my girl friend(Who I may propose to in the future ), going out of state to visit my family, playing video games, and traveling the world. Those are a few things I like to do and so you can get to know me better.

[Chunc]

I am a nearly 35 year old bus driver from Stoke-on-Trent, birthplace of Slash, Murdoc Niccols, Lemmy, Robbie Williams and Anthea fucking Turner. 4 out of 5 aint bad.

Oi! Lemmy is a hero so watch it! dya know he was even a roadie for Jimi Hendrix?

yyyup. And Anthea Turner is the one we'd rather forget about

Lemmy was freaking ace in Eat The Rich

[New Krypton II]

Greetings and salutations Nation States!

Yes, my name is hardly original, drawing its inspiration from 'The Last Days of Krypton' book by Kevin J. Anderson, and changing some of the known canon on Argo City and the biology of Kryptonian's (to which, if any of you actually know much about the Superman continuum, is quite bad of me... meh). Its actually the continuation of a long term RP Nation that I've been using on the Facebook application called Nations. I finally decided to try out my chances here after recieving some bad news that the application is on its last legs, and potentially get myself into potential new RP. I had been on the Nation's application... pretty much doing exactly this sort of thing, since about 2008, so I'm quite familiar with this style of RP, but being a newb, I have no idea where to start for some reason.

Being from Facebook Nations, we already have a fully established wiki of our own, which my nation's history and character's are posted on. I thoroughly enjoy writing, but have gotten involved heavily with politics in my earlier days of Facebook Nations. I won't list the useless positions here, but I am currently serving as 2IC of the Galactic Empire (Nations) there. A few of us have moved over, creating a new region of 'Facebook Nations' (original, ey?) to get used to how things work here.

I hope to get to meet you all (maybe not all, there are a heck of a lot of you around here, aren't there?) and interact with you in the future. If anyone can give me advice too, for where I might start, it would be appreciated. The Guides Stickied to the tops of the RP forum's are nice, but a good point in the right direction never hurt anyone...

[Nationstatelandsville]

I am Nationstatelandsville, the occasional voice of reason of Efseven, though much more frequently, the problem itself. Good thing I have my two personalities to balance each other out.

[Ovisterra]

I'm Ovisterra, known as Ovis or Ovi most of the time. I'm not telling you anything about me. (but I do like sheep)

[Naurobia]

I am Naurobia. I am from the United States of America and this is my second nation on NS. My first one got deleted because of inactivity. I like hanging with my friends and family and I love animals a lot. I am also somewhat of a geek and have a lot of interests and am fun loving willing to try a lot of things. I am bisexual and proud of it. I love to play soccer, baseball, soft ball, basket ball and just about any sport other than american football I love to meet new people but not on NS. I prefer in person. I am an atheist and a liberal. Any more questions then just TG me.

[Adstrum]

Hi, King Iacobus of the Kingdom of Adstrum. Just doing this to have some fun.

[OST Germany]

I'm OST Germany and this is my first NS nation.I'm from Austria.

[CONSECRATIO Metallus]

hello hello! I am the new president of Consecratio Metallus and founder of Mortem Sustinuit (yes, google's version of latin ). I am new to this game, found it via people spamming links to their nations in an irc room i frequent. I'm a strongly opinionated metalhead and enjoy musical pursuits, including the multiple bands i am a member of. don't know what else to say except that doom metal is the only form of god and tacos are badass. wait, can i say badass? thought this was pg-13...

[Drakon-Qan]

Hey there, Nationstates!

I'm Rafi, the Canadian guy from around the corner who doesn't own any weed, nor any other kind of grass. I consider myself to be somewhere between Socialist and Liberal, and am trying to run my nation as such (and am failing epically ). Nice to meet you all!

[Risna]

I thought since so much has changed I would update myself.....

My name is Risna I am 19 years old (well 18 but my birthday is this week so i say 19 ) I am currently recovering from a very dark time in my life and trying to find what path now to take. I used to suffer from anxiety, depression, low self esteem and another mryaid of mental problems. However I am much better now then where I used to be not to long ago.

My main purpose on NSG for a long long time was to write BLOGY ANGSTY posts of how my life sucked and my personal problems. I am unsure if people found it just annoying or maybe i humored them for a bit. Either way it does not matter that time has passed and I now have a blog (look in sig below)

I am in College right now in summer of my first year (going into second year). I go to Rutgers University in New Jersey. My major for now is Psychology although I could also do History major and become a teacher at the college level. In my junior year I am going to join the Peace Corps and hopefully make myself useful. From there I can better judge what path I want in life. One of my dreams is to join live in a 3rd world impoverished nation and help rebuild it from the grassroots level. I dont want a 9 to 5 job I want to be dirty and poor but to help people with my own two hands. I wish to spread love to the world however I can.

I have a tendency to be a doormat at times which drives me friends crazy to no end. But I love my friends and would do anything for them that is who I am, I am a very giving person. I still suffer from a minor inferiority complex and have a knee jerk "I'm sorry" response to life. So not all my issues are gone but at least I have a clear head. I have a deep feeling to be loved on the inside and I go to great lengths to fulfill it. I more or less worship my friends like Gods sadly. It is obvious I am a very emotional person. I wish to use my gifts to help the world be a happier place.

[Etaesium]

Greetings, I am Alex. I'm 17, extremley liberal (socially and politically). My political ideals are a mish-mash of Marxism, Star Trek Ideals, Humanism, and the belief that a moderate use of psychedelics and "herbs" never hurt anybody. I live in the good ol' U-S of A, but I am a Human first, and an American dead last on a very long list. I've taken a stab at NationStates before but hopefully if I can lurk around this fine community it'll encourage me to stick around for a while.

I look forward to discussing a variety of topics with all you fine people.

[Realtas]

Hello, everyone~~

I'm Orion, and I'm not really new to the NS forums but I don't post in the General section very much, but it'll likely pick up eventually as I venture out of the RP sections.

I'm going on 15, I suck at public speaking, and fancy myself of above average and below genius intelligence. Whether I am or not, I do not know. I'm a libertarian/anarchist (though I support government on a small, municipal or town level), and typically hate the federal government and look to it as the guy that keeps me safe at night and gives me something to dislike with cause. I support freedom on all levels, which means I'm very borderline laissez-faire capitalist, I support complete gun ownership, freedom of religion, speech, and assembly, gay marriage, abortion, and so on. I find government safety nets to be unnecessary for the government to provide, and find that donation to charity is a much better alternative to direct taxes. I'm very pro-law enforcement and military, and will actively respect anyone who is serving in uniform or has served.

And that's my views in a nutshell.

[Gathia Launia]

Hi. We are Gathia Launia.

[Iterium]

Im Iterium. Im an odd person who thinks way out in my own field and who really doesnt care what people think about me .

I also want to start a peaceful revolution (possibly violent if the U.S. really jumps off the deepend A.K.A. fire wall of china level) to try and reinject democracy into the U.S.

[Kostemetsia]

Hi, I'm Kostemetsia. I'm a sixteen-year-old high school student studying for my associate diploma in music. I have no religion and few political views.

[Tsal-Kar]

I am Tsal-Kar. I am an 18-year-old moderate, pro-gun rights, pro-same-sex marriage straight male from Minnesota. I am agnostic, currently a supporter of the Republican party (they seem to be the only party with a chance of saving the economy - and winning an election), and a bit of a fatalist when it comes to my generation's chance of living a life as good as, or better than, the preceding one. I am currently in school for criminal justice, and plan on becoming a police officer.
Also, I'm a bit pissed off about all the people complaining about American interventionism, and firmly believe it would be an amusing test if America went isolationist for about five years and watched what happened...

[Wirlandia]

I'm me. You're you. I would prefer it to stay that way.

I was introduced to NS by a friend whom I will promptly kick because I was already addicted to two other web-based games with a healthy forum population, and this will make #3. ("Kill! Kill!")

I firmly believe (a) Everything changes, (b) There is nothing new under the sun, (c) The more things change the more they stay the same. I'm highly opinionated, though I'm learning to curb the swift travel from thought to mouth. (One of these days, I may even have a thought without immediately voicing it...!)

I am NOT an atheist, I am NOT a socialist, I am NOT a cog in the corporate wheel, and I am NOT an overworked underpaid member of the elite academe intelligencia. I'll humor you and listen to your conspiracy theories, challenge you on your religious beliefs (regardless of what they are), and pretty much never shut up. If you are a history buff (especially ancient military history), Telegram me. If you love Douglas Adams and are shocked if/when someone doesn't know what "42" means, Telegram me. If you want me to join your alliance, DON'T YOU DARE SEND ME A CUT AND PASTE COPY OF THE THING YOU SENT TO THE LAST 4K PEOPLE HERE...YOU ARE PISSING ME OFF!

I think that's it. *huggles and smoochies* to any fairies present. *gold and government* to the rest of ya.

[Corvaley]

So far this is very interesting. I used to invent games as a kid and this is just the kind of thing I was thinking about when I first got into the forum business. After opening my own forum to replace the C-Span Community that Brian Lamb let go of right before the Bush Vs Gore election. I go by Arturo_Vandelay around the net and love to debate politics and policy, as well as share jokes. Google C-Span Sucks Community and you can see my old community, which I am letting go of thanks to facebook. This is a neat idea, I hope it works as well as it sounds.

[Cyrele]

Hello everyone,

I am Cyrele. I am a 26 year old English major, who occasionally dabbles in creative writing. I came here some months ago and created the nation of hreth. And then promptly forgot about it. Politics are not my strong suit, and the subject rarely holds my interest (mainly because I have to sift through the inflammatory double-speak of "talking heads" in order to get the truth with no spin). However, I understand its importance, and therefore I am starting again. My hope is that this nation will flourish where the other floundered. I also hope that my political stance is reflected in the way I govern it. I am still new to this, and therefore beg your patience as I develop both my nation and my RP skills. It is a pleasure to be part of a thriving community such as this, and I hope to become an active participant in the future.

Humbly yours,

Cyrele

[Bursalavoro]

I'm Bursalavoro. I'm 18. I'm going to community for two years (mainly to save money), as liberal arts because I'm undecided so it's easier to get loans, and transfer. I want to go to Washington University, or William and Mary. I love History especially lies in history books, or stuff that history books don't teach us: i.e, The U.S. intervened in the Russian Revolution, while i'm obsessed with the Ottoman Empire. I also love any type of literally any type of music, I love psychology, and philosophy. In regards to my political stance I'm registered as a Independent.

[The free thinking few]

hi, Im free thinking. im 16 years old and i believe that the mind should not be bound by current common sense
