Just stumbled across "For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack" by Alexandria Eschate; it's got more than double the number of Wolf cards as the currently featured "Wolves" collection by Erratica. (and a better name...)

Thanks for the nice find! I've replaced the previous collection with this one you mentioned.

About nuclear themed collections?

https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/collection=26968

There are 3 cards included because they were part of alliances that topped out N-day.

Nice collection! Hmm... I really like both yours and Free Las Pinas' collections, they're both unique and have interesting card choices. For now I've replaced the collection with this one above due to its larger size, but I left a link to the other collection too.

Yes, Free Las Pinas has a good collection. We won the members' and masters' choice awards in last month's Win a Legendary contest for the theme, N-day. Thank you for determining that The Atoms Family was worthy of inclusion.

I don't think I saw an actual sports collection besides the NS sports, but I could have just missed it, but if it is large enough, it may be included. Try it, or just a collection that is big enough and interesting
If you want to send me any cards, best if you send it to this one, Holland DS6, I just need more bank on this account if I want to upgrade the limit, but I just keep wanting to buy cards worth more, cards I like or cards for a collection that I am working on, I already had a lot of cards in the catagory, so mind as well make it an official collection that I could possibly already complete. I try not to break the rules, so if I do it by accident, please just tell me mods, although it would have to be through the TG only for mods, like Ransium had to due to class region. I didn't really check for spellings, so it may be a little unclear, sorry. :P More in my factbook on card+gifts.
Finally getting my own card soon!

Not sure if you would include this, but it is certainly unique:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... ction=1939

Also, this is an old one with mostly S1 cards, and the owner was last on a week ago, but could be a temperary replacement for the other one: https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... ction=1233

This is really good. This really seems like something I would do but I don't have enough time or bank by my puppets (well, I do, but I'd rather not go scavenging through all my farms).

Thanks! The States' collection is certainly interesting, so I've added it. The other one works fine as a replacement for the UK flags, too!

Edit: just noticed the Communist flags collection CTE'd too. Just when I was going to take a look at it for some wreath flags to add to my collection :(

A somewhat small, but growing collection. I honestly don't know what it is about the Antiguan flag, it has just always struck out to me as a really cool flag.

Also, could someone help me with the collection's name? "Antigua and Barbuda Flags" doesnt have a great ring to it.

Added! The Antiguan flag is indeed really interesting and colorful. I'm afraid I'm not good with naming things in a foreign language (as English isn't my native one), so you'll have to get help from someone else. At least your collection will be on the top of the Geographical list for a while! :p

Talking about the Geographical list, how it has grown over this year... I remember there being like five of those when I started. I wonder if we'll eventually get a collection for all national flags, though at that point it would get really big (good thing I reserved a few more posts!)

Congratulations! I've added a mention to your main nation in the season 2 Legendary collection entry, where all the ones who managed this impressive feat are there. As for the other one, it's a nice collection too but I'm afraid that I can't add it because it looks too personal.

You could, for example, try to collect all of these https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... 8/season=1 or all of the moth-cards; there must be hundreds, if not thousands of them. I guess, they are some relics of raider/defender wars.

I'm not sure if collecting all of those cards would be especially interesting for the public given they are puppets and have all the same flag, unless there's like several thousands of them - then I could add due to its sheer size in Volume collections.

Either way, Davante (who asked earlier) seems to be working on a bigger US states collection and I would have no problem with adding it if they manage to complete it, as Tessen's collection there right now seems to miss quite a few states...

I have already created a collection of that, that I am planning to submit on here, it already has more cards then the one listed

There are at least a few hundred - they are BLITZKREIG refound puppets, and they boast of having "700+ regions".

Two (seasonal) collections of these puppets already exist, for those wondering: Langfriede [S2] and Langfriede [S1]. There was another, with similar numbers (link, doesn't work) but it CTE'd along with Starving Locusts, its' creator.

I forgot to post this yesterday, but the weekly update is done! Added Vylixan's Star collection and replaced the Weapons and US States with the ones posted here which are bigger.

Oh, and I also revamped some collection description so they are a bit more than "this collection contains Y cards relating to the theme X." If there's some descriptions that you think could be increased with some fun fact or even a pun, feel free to TG me so the thread can continue having relevant posts with new collections only.

I am not sure if it's a bug or intentional, although I was aware of it before and didn't think of it as an unwanted feature since it lets us review a bit of the CTE'd collection (first page only). Though this isn't a discussion for here really, if someone wants they can make a thread on Technical about this.

Just an update - I have now collected every single rare card
