I’m (what you may call) a NationStater. Me and my friends have now played this for months and we don’t stop discussing it at school. The role-playing aspect isn’t the best bit it’s the fact how it’s really funy what the consequences are for your actions. I do, however agree that there should be more graphics but, as I said before, it is fun if you know the people you’re playing it with.

Youâ€™re making a lot of great points during this blog post however it is very hard in my opinion to concentrate on this article on the complicated page design.

The real long-term appeal of NationStates is found in the creation of a regional government based on an off-site forum. There, rather than pretending to pass legislation for your citizens, you and the collection of strangers who end up in the same region can draft a constitution and legislation to govern your behavior as nations – in other words, you can create and experiment with *real* political systems, because the politics can be as real as the people they affect.

And in doing so, you can enter a world (if you choose) with years of history – wars (yes, there IS warfare), complex spygames, political maneuvering for control of the largest regions in the game, alliances and inter-regional treaties and initiatives that have far more impact on players and the game environment than the ‘World Assembly’ – all taking place on off-site forums that are organized to manipulate game reality. Unfortunately, it is because this aspect is mostly hidden from the average player (and largely unsupported and unendorsed by the mod/admin team, who seem to consider serious players a nuisance) that NS is generally dismissed after a few weeks… which is, after all, what its creator originally intended.

Hey, I thought smileys wern’t implemented…

Anyway, nice job, as always. I have such a hard time with detail, but it may just be because flash is linear >.>

Oh man, Nationstates. I remember playing this game years ago.

Was fun for a short while, and in small bursts, but definitely got old and repetitive fast.
