Hello all, I was looking at Gamecatcher and I saw www.nationstates.net (http://www.nationstates.net) mentioned, and after looking at it I realized this is a great game. You make your own nation, develop its basic political structure, and decide on important issues facing your nation. I encourage you all to make your own country, and post it here! :) Here's mine: Willietopia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=willietopia). (Sorry if it has been mentioned here before; I searched around a bit but didn't find anything.)

Edit: Willietopia has now moved to the Gamecatcher region, and I've given it a nice custom flag.

Edit2: Willietopia has now moved to "CFC Region."

Here's mine: Great Colombia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=great_colombia)

frosti, I would be honored to move to your region once I create my nation.

Now if there was a cfc region, I might go there....

Ahh I see below there is one

Hmm, would anyone join if I created a CFC region?

Welcome WillJ!

To increase the pace of the game go to settings and then increase issues perday

I hope I don't disappoint anybody, but I will not be settling in the CFC Region. Sorry. :)

Why not?

Because I've settled in the "Gamecatcher" region.

I'll make you a deal: If I decide to create a second nation (you can do that), I'll put that one in the CFC region. Okay?

Deal, you can have up to 4 provided only one is a UN member

(Just to stir things up a bit.)

I told the people at Apolyton about your region...

...so now I'll tell you about the Apolyton region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?pin=-1&page=display_region&region=Apolyton). :D

Wage war against Apolyton Region!!! Heheh

Oh, and just because I find this NationState game cool:

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=leonia

And because I have lotsa time to kill, here's the flag for my nation state! Take a look!

Cool flag, leonel! :goodjob:

Here's my flag for Willietopia:

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/Willietopiaflag.jpg

I could have made it more detailed, but if I did that it wouldn't look good in its thumbnail version that the site uses when it lists nations.

Apolyton's region is huge! Hopefully we'll have those kind of numbers one day.

With patience we will

The Flag for "Incredible Evil"

The USSH's flag:

How do you make war? :confused:

Not at all, I think.

As I understood it, the game is more a simulation of your country's political development, influenced by the decisions you make as well as UN decisions, if you are a member.

War is restricted to role-play, I'd guess.

My flag for my other country

Anyone wishing to produce A-Bombs wants to buy fine Siederian Uranium?

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?pin=13473469&target=display_nation

So how do I move to another region?

Click on "World", then "List all regions", then click on one region.
When it info displays click on "move to whateveritscalled", this will display the window where you can move whereever you want, not just to that chosen region.

Thanks,Hitro :goodjob:

Done.

King Andrew Platt has been Crowned Monarch of The Kingdom of Plattia

Setting up Romanae :). I will be settling in the CFC region, of course ;).

Join the UN, then endorse "The Goverment" as your delegate

I think I'll run for delegate :)

An Idea! A CFC alliance to conquer the world! Then once we've conquered the world of course the next natural step would be to fight amongst ourselves for ultimate control!!! HAHAHAHA!

Im staying out fo the UN, until I see what kind of decisions are being made (too left wing, or anti-business) so I will not be endorsing anyone

I can't see your current flag on NationStates. Post it here?

I think I'll run for delegate, just to make it interesting. The current UN members are The Government, Mona, and Willietopia, and Igloria has applied, but hasn't joined yet. So obviously you should endorse Willietopia! ;)

Thanx, any ideas you haveyou can telegram meand i'll propose them

There is only one ruling voice in Plattia and that is me! The UN will have no voice in my goverenment! (well at least for now)

Over here, we have a very nice treatment for those folks: we beat the **** outta them in public squares! :goodjob: ;) :evil:

Oh yes:

no doubt about that Kitten, it takes about 5 minutes to load the main page for me.

Only about 3 minutes for me.
Thanks again Leonel for the new flag.

OK here is my country. ;)

So do we do anything besides just decide issues?

i urge all of you to move to the Apolyton Region, we have a very active roleplaying group in our stories and diplomacy forum, we also have an extremely large region after only 4 days :hippie:

of course to truly be a part of the region, you'd need to post at apolyton.

No! Give the CFC region its chance for glory. Eventually it could be just as large as Poly's region and frankly I would rather move to Gamecatcher before Poly. :p

Btw I have joined the game...

Yeah I don't post at poly, It's forums are too ugly :vomit:

Yes, Kitten, pity their server is so damn slow...

Well we could send a useless nation over to apolyton and spam up their message board :mischief: that get rid of people who are slowing down the site

I don't get it. Can I do anything besides voting on issues and joining the UN?

Not really.

Until they sort their server sorted out this game gets a "your game blows" comment from this kitten.

it's doubtful we'd notice a difference. besides, we have ~15 threads in the apolyton forum to roleplay the game anyways. we don't even need the game's server for posting messages:p

now that I like H Tower, prehaps we should start the same here.

Okay if were going to use this as a discussion forum, then I will now take any regional delegatory requests here.

How do you become the UN delegate?

How do you become the UN delegate?The UN delegate of a region is the nation with the most endorsements. To endorse someone, you must be a UN member and they must be a UN member. I don't know what happens when two or more nations have the same number of endorsements, but I assume that the one who was delegate before the tie occured stays delegate until the tie is broken.

Congratulations on becoming the delegate. The region of apolyton wonders how many nations you have within your region

Congradulations WillJ on become Regional Delegate I hope you work as hard as I did.

Time for my final regional delegate report

I decided to look at current proposals and vote based upon their merit. The voting went as followed.

Proposals I voted agianst
A UN freetrade agreement that prohibits any trade restrictions among UN nations
The right to do whatever you want to your body including all sorts of drug abuse.
Abolishment of all taxation and tariffs
Inter-species Marriage
Complete freedom of speach (Including death threats and yelling fire in a crowded building)
abolishment of religion
A ban on motercycle usage
A ban on socialism
And a number of people being named supreme ruler of the wotld.

Things I voted for
A substistance security proposal that gauarentees food and water to all citizens who cannot afford it.
A world wide mininum wage, with the wage keeping the workers family's from starving to death

Im glad I didn't join the UN, these proposals I would have endorsed:

A UN freetrade agreement that prohibits any trade restrictions among UN nations
The right to do whatever you want to your body including all sorts of drug abuse.
Abolishment of all taxation and tariffs.

I would have voted against these:
A substistance security proposal that gauarentees food and water to all citizens who cannot afford it.
A world wide mininum wage, with the wage keeping the workers family's from starving to death
Inter-species Marriage
abolishment of religion
A ban on motercycle usage

Thanks for the congrats, Perfection. Willietopia has voted AGAINST the current random-assigning resolution, and has approved of the following proposals, out of all the ones I've looked at so far (I'll continue looking at more, and adding them to this list): Education For All, Health Care, Regional population limits, Banning of Genocide, Ban on Smoking, International Labour Standards, and Manditory Recycling.

Edit: I tried discussing things in the forum, but it's extremely annoying with all the "not found" messages, so I gave up. :( I'll try again sometime.

I've noticed that since I became CFC delegate again the proposals that I've approved of in the past say I haven't approved of them yet. Why is this?

My government collapsed. Damn....

Ouch

How'd that happen?!

Better than what happened to me: the site caved when I tried to join the other day. I've been too pissed to go back...

I refused to solve a general labour stike. And I passed legislation allowing all peoples freedom of expression, no matter how revolutionary or vulgar. A recipe for disaster I didn't even thnk of when I passed the laws. Now my nation is ruled by biker gangs :(

Richard: I usually avoid going into the site before 9:00 Mountain time, after then it is virtually immediate loading until the morning.

"Freedom is like a hamburger. You don't want one until you can smell it. Therefore the hamburgers of freedom must be squashed.

The USSH is prepared to send an army of 30,000 poorly-equipped cannon-fodder to Atrebla to cook the hot dogs of dicatatorship. Grills will, unfortunately, have to be supplied by Atrebla."

Yes I read that Toasty, sounds like your planning an invasion...

I must warn you, we do have a large supply of uranium and some time ago started a uranium enrichment program. As the largest Cheese exporter in our region, I can easily trade for rocket engines.

I have no desire for an invasion inside the CFC Region, nor invasions in particular. I get my jollies from my outlawed Civil Rights & Political Freedoms, not military men marching in formation :p.

There is no happy medium with the silly issues at times, like my latest Child gambling law that I ignored. :D

Same with taxes, I just ignore people b!tching about taxes.

The site is UNGODLY slow though... :(

Yes, the site was originally designed for something like 3,000 nations. And I think as of today there are 30,000+

This site is the worst-maintained server I've ever seen. Didn't this guy sell enough of his books to afford a decent ISP?

He hasn't sold any books, as his book hasn't hit the shelves yet. The site was a way to promote his book. It got out of hand, and the server is now handling about 10 times the traffic he expected it to. He doesn't have a staff of any sort to maintain the server, it's just him and whoever he can get to help him out. It's a miracle the server is still up. I expect it to hit the canvas any day now.

Terrible. Anyway, I tried to publish an AP article about President Nixon's address last night, but couldn't get it through. Sorry guys.:(

thats okay, I had a huge war article written out, but after a few hours of errors. I condensed it and it finally posted.

I might actually become UN Delegate! Thanks Dell and whoever Guntheria is! :) I appreciate it! :)

When will the game of "Musical UN Delegates" ever end?!

I was wondering that, you only seem to need three endorsements to become the delegate so if you remove your votes you can easily change the delegate :)

Wow if you look at the history of the UN only 3 proposals have ever been passed :)

Thanks Dell19 for endorsing me, and congratulations on becoming delegate! :thumbsup: I assume you're Dellland...

Congrats Dell hope your riegn of terror was is propserous.

I'm trying to view the forum for the game but its very slow even when its not at peak times.

It's really slow, today it's become even worse.

But hey, I could still outrule Capitalism and set the income tax to 100%. :lol:

Using a 56k modem I cannot even decide on the issues anymore :(

I hit the site at about 7 am CST (GMT -6) this morning, and the site was pretty snappy. I guess that's a time when traffic is very low.

I've pretty much given up on nationstates because its so dam slow...Too bad because it seems like a really fun game...

I can still just about view everything so I will carry on.

I'm mindlessly stubborn, so I will continue.

I've also mindlessly stubbornly continued, and I now have a nation of pot-smoking, environmentalist nudists who give their tax mony to whomsoever they please.

Yaaaaaaaaah! My own custom flag! [party] :thumbsup:

You have to be maniacally persistent if you want to get anything done at high traffic times. There are times I have to retry six or seven times before I can process an issue if traffic is heavy. You must either have the patience of a deity, or log in when traffic is lower. I usually have good luck around midnight CST, which would be 11 PM your time.

Say hello to your newest member, Tallyweed :)

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=tallyweed

Hello :p

What are our aims from this game as we could play the game using this thread to decide on proposals that we might want to create for the UN and also we could have a vote to decide a delegate who could then be given complete support so that we have more power in the UN.

I was just wondering, did anyone read about the book? I just read the first chapter (free to read on his page) and it was better than i expected.

I have another question too though, i would post it there only its so slow. My current motto is: Ass, Gas or Grass. Nobody resides here for free.

Should i change it to: Tax, Tax, and Tax. Nobody resides here for free?

Hello, I'm the one who started this small attempt to make a diplomacy style meets RISK setting (up to 1899, of course) and I thought I'd publisise a bit on this old board. (ah, nice to be back)
First off, I'll just remind you lot that theres a total of four nations you can use. Without further addue, the site for the 'world':

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/pin=19432813/page=display_region/region=1800_europe

This is a planned simulation of the 19th century, and although it may go a-historical at times, we have so far found it fun, and hope it to continue to be so. It is essentially similar to Diplomacy, except a larger playerbase is allowed, the concept of revolt and duchies is included, and war units do not equal 1 to 1. The game also hasn't stopped evolving, so your feedback will be appreciated.

We are currently offering you the chance to become the following nations :
1. We really need a France led by Napolean Bonaparte, for now. Anyone at least slightly knowledgable in French history of the Napolionic period and enjoyes the art of diplomacy is welcome. This person will have lots of benifits indeed!
2. Prussia! We sadly have no Prussia. :eek:
3. Sweden! We need a Sweden! Currently Norway is Danish, so the Swedes are needed.
4. German and Italian states. We have a papal state , a westphalia and a kingdom of Italy, but we need many more. Anyone willing to be Bavaria, for example?
5. Switzerland!
6. Balklan revolters! And also Moldavia and Wallachia are needed!
7. And finally, we need sections of countries. We need dukes of Northumberland that are willing to take orders from England as much as we need both loyal areas of nations (these are planned to act like EU teritores, in changing hands) and possible revolters who want to found their own nations (like Greece, for example, but we think you need to do some very good 'rp skill' and continue violent partisan, oh and having another nation support you wouldn't hurt either.
By the way, my name is Austro-Hungary on it, and I also control the Incorperated states of Luicas, which is obviously not on the 1800 board.

Our own forum is :
1800Andorra@groups.msn.com

I love my motto for "Incredible Evil" it's "never settle for the lesser of two evils"

If you guys want a sticky discussion or role playing thread, let me know, and you'll have it. ;)

I think Apolyton has one.

BOO! poly isnt civfanatics. We can make our own RPG thread :)

Right, I've joined, too. I'm in the GameCatcher region, but might set up a second nation for the CFC Region.

All sites copy each other to an extent.

Let me know what you guys want.

I think a thread would be nice as the site is too laggy for me to read the latest happenings unless I have a lot of free time. Some of the issues I've been getting lately have been pretty annoying as there is no middle choice so I can either dismiss the issue or choose one of the extremes.

A sticky thread for role-play and another for the nation registry would be nice. I could even see a third one to be used for "out of character" discussion of issues relating to the game.

Opinions?

Id run with it, good idea Switch, may the technocracy prevail!

OK, I'll stick em as they come, or just PM me the URLs. ;)

Perhaps go to the ectent as our friends at poly have done and have a forum.

I must inform you that the Republic of Sheep Springs has dicovered through her sister government the Holy Empire of Sheepsta, that there has been a nuclear detonation above Flaim, Alecrast in the Apolyton region. Also the Apolytoners are preparing for war against the CFC Region.

The Government of the Republic of Centralis, situated in the Apolyton region, can say with authority that no miltiary preparations are underway. The Apolyton region has no intention whatsoever of invading the CFC Region.

Good to see you GeneralTacticus, the bane of my existence ;)

A of A, please make that thread sticky. Thanks!

It has futher been noticed that this nuclear detonation was made by a device called Goldeneye, and has disabled all electrical equipment in Alecrast. Alecrast however has sustained no futher nuclear damage

OK Switch, thread stuck!

EDIT: I was wrong, it isn't down. Its just HORRIBLY slow. They need a bigger server. Oh, and how do I join a region?

Well, I'm glad to see that my thread has received a great deal of attention, and even spawned two sticky threads. :) However, I think I've reached the point where I've read all the possible issues, and role-playing and the UN isn't enough to keep me interested, so I quit. Not to mention that the server is overloaded and slow.Originally posted by cgannon64
Oh, and how do I join a region?You start out in the Pacific, and to switch regions, click your region's name in the left menu, then click the link that says something like, "Tired of life in the [region's name]? Then move to a new region!" Then choose the region that you want to move to (I assume CFC Region).

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=naervana
Visit my nation. I will be moving to the CFC region. We are a peaceful socialist nation, and will consider warring with Apolyton but are not sure yet.

I think he must have upgraded or changed the server. It's extremely quick compared to how it was. It actually behaves like a normal website now.

I don't have any new issues this morning, though. I wonder what happened? :confused:

No, nor I. Also, it doesn't seem to want to 'cookie' me, either. On both my home and work computers I have to log in every visit.

I got the "Atrebla awash with red-rimmed eyes" about ten minutes ago, I think the issues should be working again.

Yep, I got new issues now.

They seem to have relocated their server...the site is reasonably fast now!

What do people think of creating a poll of all UN members that want to be delegate and then the winner becomes the delegate but everyone has to support them?

Couldn't we do a rotating delegate thing to everyone that wants it, in exchange for constant support?

That being suggested, I don't want it. Screw the U.N. :arrow:

I agree that everyone should support one delegate... But i don't know if Greadius or Dell's idea should be implemented.

(I might actually create a new nation to join the UN, shrudder)

I rotation would work by having a monthly or weekly poll to decide whether a person is still as popular. Simply rotating could make it difficult to remember who to support.

I will probably make the poll tomorrow listing all the UN nations and then anyone can vote for the one they want as delegate. Obviously other people from CFC could vote but hopefully they wont and it might make the poll results more interesting.

Is there actually a reason we need rotating delegates? Why not just elect ONE nation as delegate, give them full support, and not worry about it anymore?

This is, of course, said as a UN outsider. I have another nation in another region that has UN membership, so the 625 Technocracy is forbidden to join the UN.

I agree with Switch here. Why not choose one delegate, and then done. Not that Nixonland would ever even consider UN membership, haha, merely that the current solution is somewhat laughable.

I was playing NationStates when I got the Voluntary vs Compulsory Democracy Issue. When I looked at the third option in the debate it said this...

"This raises an interesting issue," says your brother Anne-Marie Dredd.

A boy named Anne-Marie?!?!?! My people are weird!
:rotfl:
:rotfl:
:rotfl:
:rotfl:

Just a question.
Has anyone of you an idea how, if at all, the UN resolutions are implemented in the member nations, as those telegrams imply?

They didn't even implement the voting time reduction. How the hell can they implement the abolishment of slavery?

Or is it just not implement to make it more realistic? ;)

A crowning moment of achievement today:

The Most Pro-Market Nations in CFC Region
1. The Republic of Greadius
2. The Free Land of Anarchic Decay
3. The Confederacy of Fanatikan States
4. The Dominion of The 625 Technocracy
5. The Republic of Nixonland

NO!! I didnt make the top 5 :( youll pay anarchic decay!!!

The voting time was a game issue rather than a UN issue and it would have meant changing how the overall game played which wont happen.

I think the UN resolutions are just for fun.Look at the last resolution,DVD code removal.It was passed and implemented in my nation,but how could this affect the gameplay?The end of slavery could affect some nations (like Nixonland,lol),but I don't think this will change the game stats of your nation.

So actually the UN has no sense in the game but after all the whole Nationstates is for fun,not?

If the poll is implemented, Stevski would like to be considered as an option for UN Delegate :)

I haven't seen a new issue in a week.

I wonder why? :hmm:

You may need to change the settings.

Aaaarrrrrrgghhhh!!

Could someone please tell me why the heck I'm against euthanasia? I dunno, it's just that I find myself morally incapable of enacting such a bill - actually that's my real world stance, as well, and that's what I'm trying to indicate here. It's a really tricky issue, I think. Just like abortion! I don't know what the hell to think; on one hand it may be good, but on the other hand it's just as morally despicable as euthanasia. I mean, I am wholly incapable of knowing what abortion and euthanasia really mean; and what it implies, long-term effects, etc. etc. As a legislator you vote, argue a little, but you haven't tried it yourself; I know all too well it's like that with most of the real world issues countries all over the world are facing at this very moment, but think about it.

I just came to really ponder about this; thinking, wow, I really change my opinion about these two subjects, as examples, as the wind blows. Any of you guys torn over this/these kind of issue(s)?

And that case; what have you voted, i.e. regarding euthanasia, and what would you vote, if abortion suddenly appeared as an issue in NationStates (I expect you run your state as you would in reality, most of you :) )

Pardon me, for my wholly incoherent and fatuous philosophical rant.

the Empire of Atrebla was forced to dismiss the issue, as my feelings for the poor citizen were felt. However, I cannot in good faith allow those whose lives have worth to eliminate themselves simply because they are depressed.

Nixon - I voted to allow euthanasia. Why should the state step in front of someone's wishes to die? For some people who are elderly and suffering, only kept alive by artificial respirators, they may wish to be put to sleep. The state should not force individuals to live, when they are suffering this much and can never return to an existant free of artificial respirators.

Abortion is a much more controversial one. I am pro-choice; I believe the mother should be the one to make the choice. Granted, having an abortion is a horrible decision to make, but if it is outlawed, women will just have them unsafely, unable to have them performed in proper medical institutions.

You're right about abortion, I think. I have been tipping toward pro-choice most of the time, but have had my revelations from the other side of the hill. To me, it still seems immoral, but nonetheless, you're right, because it should be straightly up to the mother whether she want it. Outlawing abortion would have horrendous consequences, and it would not be a pretty sight.

On euthanasia - I'm also perfectly able to follow you there, but just like abortion, I am in some way morally opposed to that as well. It's like you've lost faith in God, and in no way trying to sound religious, but it seems wrong that you want someone to ring the bell for you.

But again, but stances on these issues, especially euthanasia could very well change, it's one of the rare issues where I'm not unshakable.

If it comes up again, I will seriously reconsider allowing euthanasia.

The server is acting like it's old self tonight. :rant:

My corrupt dictatorship is now up and running :lol:

Post it in the Nation registry thread please :)

Thanks to the wonders of modern Hitropian technology the country with its 99 million inhabitants moved to the CFC region, finally. :goodjob:

There are 19 UN members in the CFC Region, but only SIX endorsements for Dellland? There should be 18! Why are all of you diluting the CFC Region's influence like this? Get with it, everybody! ENDORSE DELLLAND!

I don't agree with Delland :evil:

Delland has done nothing for Siberialus, nothing!



Edit: Hell, I'll endorse you, but the first anti-Tiger act you make will see swift retribution.

I'll endorse Dellland as soon as they let me join the UN.

Nice to see some progress being made in the one region, one delegate proposal.

What has that got to do with politics? :confused:

Doesn't the delegate get an extra vote for every endorsement?

Then why should someone support a delegate who will vote different?

I don't agree with Delland either.

This is taken from Delland's page of nationstates.net:

"The Disputed Territories of Dellland...population of 107 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
...The average income tax rate is 29%...
Guns are banned, there are no minimum wage laws, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed...Crime is totally unknown."


I just cannot support such a nation. Since there is no better choice so far (besides myself) I have endorsed Phantomlordia. I would have endorsed Willetopia had he still been functional.

The Rogue Nation of Insomniacs has endorsed Dellland :)

you are all welcome at the land of me my communist country full with smart guys!

Hello Knight Bond,

No, you aren't too late. :) There is a Civfanatica region that can be found here (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=CivFanatica). After moving your nation to there (ask if you need help), be sure to register at the official Civfanatica registry thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41733 ).

This used to be the "official" Nationstates thread, and the CFC region used to be called "CFC Region" (you can find out about it by looking through this thread), then IIRC Calgascus started the Civfanatica region and a discussion thread for it, and Dell19 started a registry one (the one that I linked to). Then the discussion one seemed to have dissapeared or something. So I have absolutely no idea as to what exactly is going on. You should register at the registry thread (assuming you want to join Civfanatica), and I guess this can once again become the "official" thread. Who knows. :crazyeye:

I myself quit playing NationStates a while ago, and later on CFC Region (along with my nation, Willietopia) were removed from the NS server (due to inactivity, I guess). Calgascus sort of "refounded" it as Civfanatica, IIRC.

Edit: Correction, just to clarify things a bit: Dell19 actually posted the registry thread for CFC Region, and when CFC Region was removed and Civfanatica was founded it turned into a Civfanatica registration thread. This is why some of the older links in that thread (just like just about all of the ones in this thread) don't go to a nation.

Also, I've noticed that there is actually "CFC Region" along with "Civfanatica." CFC Region is obviously a rebirth of the old CFC Region (it says so in the world factbook entry). So now I am utterly and helplessly confused. Maybe someone who still plays NationStates (in one of the CFC regions) could clarify things up a bit?

Nope, i sure cant.
