what can I say? it's a very good concept that, as far as I know, no one except you had exploited in NS, that is make a Uruguay in the victorian era, it's really good the factbooks and mainly all is well constructed.

Meh, I'm not too big of a fan of nations like these whenever there is little-to-no substance. The whole techno-crazy dystopia just doesn't do it for me when it just seems like there's nothing else to it other than the basic components. I also just can't really take the nation seriously with a flag that looks like it was made in 2 minutes on MS paint. Like, the flag makes it look like it's supposed to be satire, but I don't really think that's what you're going for, judging by what I can glean from the factbooks.

You know, I feel like I should be able to easily point to the inspirations for this nation, like it's something I know and have some familiarity with but for some reason I can't for the love of me find out what they were. Metal Gear perhaps?

Anyhow, that aside, Reaper Squadron is a nice nation. The formatting is aestheticslly pleasing and isn't too bothering to navigate through. The stories to tell are interesting and have a lot of potential to exploit, with characters like Alis and the Reapers, and I can appreciate the details behind the AWPs (hehe, mecha with a name like a sniper rifle) and walking carriers employed by them. I feel like this could all be complimented with a few dispatches with stories within them so we can really get a good insight into what things are like for the Reapers, what they do throughout their lives and how they regard each other. This here could be a nice example of such. Overall, interesting nation, nice work, love to see what things they get themselves involved in.

The "Intranet" sections of the factbooks are great-looking, and it's always amazing to see someone comparatively write so much medieval era history for a modern state. That level of textbook detail lends a massive amount of realism to the whole concept. Additionally, I believe yours is the first Military Junta I've seen elaborated on beyond the basics.

Darkwater Academy is one of many nations that are, in fact, schools. I feel that this particular genre of nation is quite saturated and difficult to make work, and Darkwater Academy is no different. It's a magical world, and there's some decent worldbuilding, but I simply cannot find myself enthralled by this world. The formatting is quite basic, and the focus on necromancy is kinda just... not that interesting. I want to see something new, something I've never seen before, and I'm afraid that at the current moment, I don't see it.

I don’t see them much on these forums, but I gotta say I gotta admire the depth of their lore. It seems like a nation billed as a quaint corner of the world, and it pretty much abides by that in all things. If that was the intention, then I’d say they done did that thing.

One of the more unique nations and species out there and by far my favorite nation of the user (assuming i know all their alts). The level of humor and scientific description for these little murder hamsters quite literally fills me with joy. The carefully thought out biology paired with the always simplistic but humorous responses showcases the brilliance of this particular nation (and puts it a degree above Godular's other nations). i respect the universe ending nature and OPness of the nation with a always pleased smile.

The simplicity of the IC posts set me up for a welcome shock when i saw the curated nature of he factbooks. Always fun to see.

Better yet, I learned how to properly use a semicolon for this nation!

I like the AN because it's the Spanish Empire revived as well as the factbooks in Spanish, keeping very well to the theme.

A beautiful example of how to make a good Dystopian nation, taking the industrial aspect and combining it with sheer cruelty and disregard for the safety of its citizens. Generally fun to see them on the forums, yeah i like em.

I admit that there is some novelty in a vessel that uses brute force to destroy a planet ‘by hand’ metaphorically speaking. Outside of that I don’t see much to be impressed by. There is precious little about their military outside of their skimpy overview, and yet they’re quick to correct people about things that aren’t mentioned anywhere. I spoke to them about this (On Godular) when they attempted to claim that their soldiers could survive a crotch-kick that could send them into orbit. That kind of durability would be pretty notable, wouldn’t it?

No mention. ‘Something-something third arm’ was the closest I could get.

They make me think a bit of that Archetypal Future Tech Space Empire poster what pretty much popped into a thread just to teabag errybody, but ya look at their factbooks and it’s like ‘here’s a bunch of soldiers just posing and shit’. No details.

It rubs me the wrong way, and I’m sorry if I sound snippy about it. It is not AN’s fault… much.

>>FAHKIN’ ‘ELL, BLAHDDY NINJA!<<

AN: See, now this bunch has detail. It’s kinda sparse in some areas but you can tell the user put a lot of thought into their stuff. It’s a tad simplistic, but I actually didn’t feel inclined to skip a wall of text at any time, and I actually remember a goodly chunk of what I read the first time. Props on that bit.

It's kind of amusing to imagine the Death Spectres as Doomguy's rabbit becoming as capable as Doomguy himself. I mean I know that isn't how they came to be but it's still amusing regardless. As for the Destructors as a nation, it's not bad. Can't exactly get myself too deep into it but that's just my personal tastes. And the writing, it what one expect might come out of Godular, with extremely strong entities doing godly shit, and it seems as if you've been working to integrate all these works into a single canon, which is pretty cool. Though again I cannot exactly get myself too invested as superstronk space empires and monsters aren't my thing, the effort from you can be appreciated.
