Your thoughts on AN?

[The Aquaria]

Although the user repeated Hathian is not based on Nazi Germany, it still seems very similar to be honest. Hopefully, that doesn't seem to be his OOC ideology.

Talking about the user, I am pretty sure I only started to see him very recently, like 2-3 days. The user seems decently chill, and therefore we haven't countered some major conflicts, yet. Hathian also made some very detailed factbooks, which makes me know more about their nation, how totalitarian is it, how fascist is it, and how are the people. Ah, definitely somewhere I want to liberate if only their military can be wiped by our weapons.

[Afrikan Staat]

Well, let's see! At first, it seemed like the usual run-of-the-mill socialist state you often find in NS. Also, those are a lot of factbooks, though. If I learned something from NS it is that most people simply don't have the patience or attention span to open every factbook, especially if many are unfinished.

Upon further reading, it became apparent that the history is rather well-developed, although the completely made-up world setting obviously means that I don't have a base of reference to compare the country with. The anarchic commune section is also quite nice, giving a real simultaneous outlook to the national culture, history, and life - something that does not appear too often given NS's super-focus on politics and history.

That Aquaria's lore is influenced by multiple-player interactions is also quite unusual, at least according to my solitude experiences - other players (me included, I guess) often simply gatekeep everything for themselves.

I must admit; I'm surprised to have seen you here. That might be because I usually don't see much of you, but eh, it's somewhat of a treat to share my thoughts. Afrikaan Staat is an interesting concept, don't get me wrong, but there's just...so few factbooks. I know I'm not one to talk (I do have the same number as you), but seeing as how you have quite impressive writing skills; I'd like to see more from you.

(Well, the link in my sig is one way to do that. Although I admit Afrikan Staat is currently my favorite nation)

Generally speaking, I was surprised back in 2020 when Ive seen that next to no nations utilize Armenia as a basis for their canon. Seeing Ottoman Empire survive past WW1 has also been a surprising and so eh way unique element. Other than that I like the vibe that the nation gives off- it’s their last and final struggle, driven solely by anger and hatred towards those who have mistreated and abused them. Unironically very cool…

[Meadowfields]

I know that many of your factbooks haven't been updated in a year, so it'll be a bit weird to review them, however I'd first start with your OOC life. Genuinely, I feel sad for you. Your signature:

ALL MY LIFE IS WORK AND WORK AND WORK END IT

I am not a Russian but a Cameroonian born in this POS of a country.

makes me feel—not concerned, no—but...sympathizable. I still hope that you'll get better and maybe find some time to work on some lore, not saying that you exactly have to. Anyways, the lore you've already developed is pretty detailed, albeit could use some formatting. I still hope that you could write more and I would love to see more lore from your nation, still, good luck!

[Mets Hayk]

Ah, well, you can't always get what you wish for...Meadowfields! Or, as I know the nation, Generic Democracy #450

You see, unlike New Zoigai (who I criticized for having VERY little information), it seems that you've got the right amount; so good on you. The problem I have with Meadowfields, and any left-wing democracy we have on this website, is that it seems like it's been done before. The revolutions, the countless political parties, the pandering to those who adhere to more leftist ideologies...it's surprising, honestly. How haven't these nations died out yet; surely you can't write the same shit over and over without the demand drying up, right? Nevertheless, there's nothing I'd consider TERRIBLE about your nation (besides some of the grammar). I don't DISLIKE it; but the concept's been done, to a much better standard, before.

[Perikuresu]

Mets Hayk, I haven't crossed paths with said user on the forums a lot, and from their factbooks, they've formatted it in a way which reminds me of Sherechia's factbooks, but still, images + a small paragraph is still a good way of inserting information without it dragging too long, and it seems to suit your nation pretty well, which already stands out from the crowd a bit with it concentrating on a nation NS usually doesn't explore. Whilst the current content here doesn't appeal to me, I have some feeling the user inclines towards a quality over quantity style of making factbooks. Overall I can't say anything about them other than it's promising and I'm neutral.

On your beef with New Zoigai, some day or another, preferably now, it should be dropped. Being angry in a website like NS, and especially over quality makes you look petty, trust me, I've done it plenty of times before. In my experience, it'd be a lifesaver if you just calm down and let go.

Ah Perikuresu! Didn't expect to find your here. Overall most of our interactions have been limited to the anarchy rp. From what ive read you mainly focus on a timeliness where your nation was one of the major powers that defeated Japan. Which honestly is a really cool idea

Usually I try to avoid F7 threads that tend to make me draw out my opinions on another user. Whilst the only history factbook I have is WWII based, I tend to focus my nation more so around it's overview and subdivision factbook which is a bad habit of mine that I should break (note that the trajectory I want to take my nation in is to focus more around it's culture, and to an extent, politics and history) I also want to note that Apanalua has never been a major power, and yes whilst it has defeated Japan in WWII, WWII is not the focus of my nation

[Mets Hayk]

Oh boy...

Though I have no problems with the user, Romanic Imperium is, without a doubt, one of the most confusing nations on this whole goddamn website. I'm already against FT nations, but an FT nation mixed with Greco-Roman mythology? That's interesting for sure, but that also creates a bit of confusion when RPing; especially considering how he voids most of his almighty space technology (or so it seems, I could be wrong) in favour of mostly MT equipment in said RPs. Jaguar Aquilion is EXTREMELY poorly written and his factbook is EXTREMELY bare-bones.

Also, why is this here?

[Hiram Land]

They seem angry a fair bit, especially with the last few posts on here. I don't know if they are angry or if it is just the vibes, but they probably should calm down a fair bit. Their works are good and they format pretty nicely - I do like their lore and it seems very much original.

[Hintuwan]

Have made trade deals with them in the past as my alt, they seem like a pretty cool fellow. I'm glad they're still around after all this time.

[Laka Strolistandiler]

There’s one thing I dislike about Hintwan- there’s just way too much lore! I understand that they want to make their nation as detailed as possible and do acknowledge that almost all of it is written rather interestingly, however unfortunately, sometimes people just don’t have eniugh time or patience to read all the way through it!

That being said though I appreciate the work they put into them lore, just wish that they’d make a TL:DR version of some of the most important posts. Also wish they’d be over II cause they clearly know how to write a good story.

BN before replying take a look on my map! I’ve wasted like an hour on this piece of shit

[Valentine Z]

From what I have seen and witnessed over the months and maybe even a year or two.. whoa, they definitely changed a lot. I mean, nothing wrong with a positive change, of course not! I'm glad that you're feeling a bit more confident about yourself and you know, transitioning. <3

Wishing you the best of luck and hey, be a bit happier with yourself now and then. I understand it's not the easiest thing to do, but you got this!

[Mets Hayk]

And...it's Val. What a pleasant surprise! Well, seeing as how most of the shit you've gotten on this thread is either well-deserved praise or "OMG VALENTINEZ, LET ME SHOWER YOU IN HUGS AND KISSES", I'm going to be as brutally honest as possible. Don't get me wrong, I have no quarrels with YOU personally, but I do have a few problems with your nation. Note that I said few; as in not bad enough to make me genuinely dislike your nation.

First, it's on to your factbooks. Look; I think you've done an AMAZING job fleshing out your nation's lore, but take into account a newer player (or someone who isn't exactly the type to sit and read through everything), I don't think they'll exactly take the time to appreciate your writing skills which, if I must say, are rather good. Maybe you should compile some sort of "in a nutshell"-type of factbook? I don't know. Anyways, with that done and over with; I'd like to go onto some of your dispatches.

These are nice too; but holy shit, there's a lot of them. I have the same complaints about these as I do with your factbooks. Not bad, just way too overproduced. A lot of it could technically be condensed down into one dispatch too (i.e. your "opinions" series).

With that being said, I hope you'd think about some of my suggestions I've given. Have a nice day!

[East Plate]

This is the first time I saw your nation, and to be honest... I did not have high expectations from it for some reason, it just seemed "meh" by looking at the flag and name. However, upon looking at your factbooks I stand corrected. I find the concept of an Armenian-themed nation to be quite original, or at least, not something overused. Your factbooks all seem well written, well formatted, and concise. It is a very nice touch to have quotes on all of them. I also really like the images you used (although some seem to be broken, or at least, do not show on my PC). Overall, an interesting and very promising nation, which stands out from the rest. Keep it up!

On a side note, from what I've seen in this thread, you seem to be quite honest with your replies, I know this thread is about the above nation, and not the user, but I still thought it was worth saying.

[Meadowfields]

You're quite an old nation, compared to many nations around here, however you haven't posted in the forums until recently. I'm honestly surprised at how much lore you've developed. Your overview factbook seems to be your most popular one—quite deserving of it, of course, even if it could use much more popularity—but I personally like your other factbooks better, even though they have at most around 50 reads. Your Parliament factbook goes in much more detail than I ever can—not just the basic political parties, unlike mine, but also the portraits and details for each of the senators, your electoral map, the history of the parliament itself...I'm honestly surprised at the lore you've developed. Your History factbook, and its sections are really detailed; I like the employment of the sidebar images. Your Colonial Secretary and Governor factbooks, though not as detailed as your Parliament factbook, provide a great history, chronological order, and serve as kinda a catch-all leader factbook. Your Culture factbook is incredibly detailed too, especially your language (exceptional, by the way) and your music. It also seems like all your factbooks are completed, or at least near completion. I want to attach a criticism, but I just can't find one...your writing is fantastic, I'd like to see your nation's lore when finished.

BN: I would like more than one sentence, but more than four words is okay by my standards.

[Trivalve]

Very cool nation, quite well known. Puts a lot of his effort into their forum post and just generally seems like a very nice person. Keep up the good work!

[The H Corporation]

This nation, Trivalve, has a corporation just like me. The difference is that they don't use the corporation idea that much, their factbooks are really simple and they don't elaborate on many things and it has been like that for a lot of time already. No offense but your nation gives me nothing, your legislations, your alliance, your origin story is nothing but a blank page, the idea of a corporation founding a nation is something you don't see often, but you don't do anything with that besides saying "We were founded by a corporation".

Again no offense to the user, but as someone who uses the same concept I expect as much from me and other nations founded by corporations to have something more than just saying you were founded by 'x' Corporation.

[Farallon]

Your corporation nation is especially intriguing. Your factbooks aren't too cluttered, but I feel that they could use more images, as mine. While you don't tend to have as much content as I expected based on your latest post, everything you've posted is extremely elaborate and in-depth. It's definitely a really sick and cool idea that I've never really thought about and I'm excited to see how this nation develops in the future. You could phrase your feedback a little better.

[The Aquaria]

Farallon is a nation I only see for the first time. (Or did I see them more?)

Looking into their factbook, the only one, yet the overview of the nation is a very well-made one. They did not stop after writing the histories, but actually, also write a full description of their culture. I quite like it.

I am looking forward to seeing you being active.

[New Zoigai]

The Aquaria is quite the interesting Nation, A Franco-Japanese Communist state with an Anime Character as its leader and well designed factbooks. There is also its Airport thread in which it allows nations to interact with their international Airports. Quite frankly I wish I would have came up with this idea first... (Cant come up with everything I guess).


In general, I like the nation.

Uh, I'm sorry, did someone seriously just say "space africans colonise a foreign planet and found new detroit"?

because don't get me wrong i fucking LOVE the concept, just needs a lot more fleshing out (and perhaps some neater formatting :p). but christ almighty in an NS era full of cookie-cutter liberal democracies, right-wing wankoff states, and generic OP space nations, you stand out like a sore thumb and it's fucking brilliant. please develop this further lol
