Wow...I know I check my nation every day, but I haven't been checking our region.


WTF happened to everyone?

Moe???????????? You abandon your post as our World Assembly delegate!

Meh. I got tired of the same issues being sent over all the time. I actually had just enforced one issue that was already a repeat, when the next day, that same issue came up again! Just as I was enforcing and enacting it, I had to vote on it again. It just got too repetitive.

There are plenty of issues, but they come randomly, so there is an actual chance to have the same things over and over again.
I check my state weekly, except when it diverts from Scandinavian liberal paradise, then I check more often to move it back. So far I did not experience many repetitions, but this could be only because I dont play too often.

The IcePig is ranked 1st in the region and 4,564th in the world for Rudest Citizens.



So f**k You!

I moved my puppet nation, Zoxar, to this region. Usually it is a very right wing state.

I resigned my post as a dictator and went off to become a Knight.

With that there are still 8 nations left.

I just bumped into 2 new issues, or in any case, ones that I had never seen before.

I got invited to test the NationStates2 Beta!

It is pretty badass compared to NS1. It has some graphics, and even the advertisements look better!
The economy is a lot more detailed in NS2, you have specific industries, and have to trade with other countries to meet your population's needs. Soon, there will also be wars enabled, but I don't know exactly how that will happen yet.
Also, all of the issues are different.
I am on world 6, the continent of Dictatoria.

Here is the description of my nation:

The People's Republic of Zebulor is a tiny, easy-going nation, remarkable for its tight restrictions on politicians. Its population of 1.44 million citizens are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night. The average national tax rate is 16.00%.

Children can be found tracking escaped silk worms for fresh cat's cradle supplies. "X-treme" scooter parks have sprung up around the country. A few movie stars have been spotted dining at the local restaurants.

The populace is incredibly well-fed by its budding gourmet culture. The country is renowned for being very well-dressed. Only the top percentile of healthy drivers are given the privilege of being organ donors thanks to the abundance of medical supplies. The country has become famous for its well stocked silos of materials feeding industries all that they require. An abundance of energy has turned tales of appliances blinking "12:00" into urban legends. Workers are known for their incredible punctuality thanks to the world-class supply of transportation. More and more elite officers are graduating from military training. The country is known for its new renaissance of entertainment art.

Zebulor's fearless leader resides in the nation's capital of Centrum, making grand decisions typically with a pet iron monkey curled-up on the carpet.

Sounds interesting. I know this is an old thread but, I made one too.
