NationStates will never have war. They tried that a little while ago on NationStates 2(a complete failure).
EDIT: 200th post, woohoo!

This part of the FAQs will explain why it won't be added:

How do I go to war against another nation? Or trade?

In one sense, you can't. NationStates doesn't include these things -- because it's a simple game, and because they would bias things in favor of militaristic and capitalist nations. One of the nice things about NationStates is that you can craft a nation into your idea of Utopia without having to worry about such pragmatic concerns as national defence.

There are, however, two types of wargame that have been developed by the NationStates community. One is regional invasions, where nations attempt to move into another region and topple the Regional Delegate; the other is an in-depth role-playing game that takes place in the International Incidents forum.

Many people have suggested a more sophisticated version of NationStates, with trade and military conflicts, but this is unlikely, as it would fundamentally change who we are. At its core, NationStates is a political game, not a wargame.

There's always roleplaying, and, ahem, NationWars.
There was a signature here. It's gone now.

We tried that once.
NationStates 2.
It failed miserable.
Besides, if we had a "Declare War on _____" button, what happens to the International Incidents forum? It basically disappears as many people are involved in the II forums.

NationStates is a Political game, not a War game.
