Reminder that the fastest way to buy yourself is to make bids instead of waiting for owners to send you telegrams or over a forum. To view the current owners of your card, click Deck, View Card on the upper-right hand corner of your screen, and Current Owners in the table that appears underneath your card. One bid applies to all cards of the same nation. Good luck for those searching for themselves!

Yeah, that works, but people aren't always checking if people want to buy their cards. I'm TGing people also, and it's working really well.

Pro tip for the people that would like to: if you press "value" the cards people wish to buy are highlighted.

Pro tip 2: if there is an active offer on a card when you pull it from the box that will be shown on the card itself (upper right corner).
That increases the chances that someone will notice.

I've put a few offers up for 0.20 each on my card, trying to buy out the rest.

If you've got it I'll buy it.
But not for too much.
I already have 3.

What are School Class nations?


A school class nation is a nation that is registered to be in a region made by a school, or class in the school. These nations and their region have little influence with the other nations and regions of nationstates because the teachers use nationstates as an educational tool. I'm the WA delegate of a school class region, and my teacher (when he is on) uses nationstates to demonstrate a simplified version of how government works and what your own nation will look like based on your choices.

people have sold my card to others for only 0.01. I have a buy offer for my card for 0.20 (the junk price)
this nation is inactive. also a lot of my old non-nspb forum posts are cringe.

It doesn’t matter your gender, race, or sexual orientation, people are people. We are all people and should all accept each other.

Usually, my nation's choices do not resemble my political views.
In real life, I'm a libertarian/somewhat conservative boi (lmao how much this has changed. I moved WAAAAY to the LEFT lollll) from the great state of Ohio. Again, the choices of my nation do not entirely resemble my political views, but I should add that I wasn't trying to take a super ultra realistic approach when I wrote my factbook.

I choose the second definition of it. This meaning rule by virtue and not owning land to be allowed to vote or hold political office. Instead one is required to serve time in the military (currently 6 years)
