Why do you play NationStates?

Why do you play NationStates? I play for cards but I’m curious if cards are actually that big of a community compared to others!

The community (offsite in particular) is lovely if you stay away from GP. Also, cards.

I play for the worldbuilding, it's a shame that from what I've seen while lurking it's essentially a leftist echo chamber. But some people make it worth it.

I try to make stats as canon as possible, but please forgive me if something doesn't make sense. My first ever Factbook is not canon. The Consitution, People's Rights Bill, Council of Faith, and the Chobotan Football League are canon. Thank you. Have a nice day.
