Yes, I know. We all have puppets. How many do YOU have? :eyebrow:

Roughly 20 puppets. Most of them are card farms, though.

None. I've probably made 7 or 8 nations since 2010 but I can't even remember the names of any of them except for my old nation that directly preceded Page

Close to a 100, I think. Some joke puppets, defenders, themes and RL names, regional and sleepers.

Yeah, I occasionally come up with what I think at the time to be funny nation ideas (e.g. Nazbol Pudding Club, Ho Chi Minhibar) but can never be bothered to maintain them.

As of now I have only two active puppets. Used to have way more, though. Decided, that putting effort into one was for the best.

I used to have 3 but couldn't be bothered to keep them up and they've been dead for about 4 years. IC, most of them were annexed ;)

I have none either, I was Barringtonia until.. amm.. maybe 2011 and then they opened the Boneyard and I leapt on Bombadil as a name. I only use Bombadil now.

I hate puppeteering, specifically on NSG.. I'm sure they have their uses on some game thing they apparently have on this site somewhere.

Well, they are useful in F7 games, if you are interested in developing the lore of the nation. (If it is more than a posting profile, of course.)

I've lost count of all the one offs I made in my first days on the site, but I still mostly keep to the one main account and the one other puppet I've decided to develop and work on factbooks for.
The Empire of Hinomoto"Lux Invicta!"
National Factbooks | Tech Level: Post Modern | Civilization Level: 13.7
A hegemonic empire in Northeast Asia, currently led by the ambitious Imperatrix Shirano.
Having clawed its way back from the brink of collapse after Heaven's Fall, Hinodia seeks to protect her empire and re-establish herself as the undisputed ruler of East Asia.

The Solarian Herald: The Daiteikoku is set to go through a major period of reform and rework. Thank you for your patience, and please disregard the butterfly effects, space-time ripples, and mass unpersoning.

Every account that posts in this thread is secretly one of my puppets.

Especially the accounts that actively deny being one of my puppets.

Anyways, I have around 12 puppets, some are for invading other regions, the others are just there for fun, and three of them are activity used.

Given that my nation is older, I'd argue that I'm not a puppet of you.

You are a puppet of mine.

That said, I have 70-200 puppets. I can't be bothered to count. All on a nice login script. Some with funny names. Some variants of my main (Blaat, Blaatje, Blaatchen)

First post outside of F7, wohoo...

These are the primary puppet nations I have run. There are countless of them in the past but only to be CTE'd. These nations are all part of the Reza Cinematic Universe (RCU) in some shared multiverse:


Otherwise, I used to have around 7 of them.

♔ Holy Intermarian Order ♔
Patron: Kamen Rider Garren | Overview | Triumverate | Anthem

A post-apocalyptic, 1920s neoclassical-styled, multicultural federation of central European kingdoms led by Imperator Konstantyn after a bloody civil war. Governed as a secular and meritocratic liberal autocracy with a dirigist economy.
Please show some love by upvoting one of my factbooks. Wall of texts doesn't come out of thin air, y'know.

Intermarian Gazette: Imperator Konstantyn refuses to enter a Concordat with the Holy See. The Imperator views it as an attempt to undermine secular rule of law and place the interest of a religious group over another. Rumors are speculating that Grand Master Giovanni of Malta would lead the second round of negotiation table talks.
