NationStates

[Thrashia]

Is anyone on these boards also a member of nationstates.net? For those of you that don't know what Nation States is, it is pretty much a free-form roleplaying forum with a game function around nation building.

NationStates is a nation simulation game. Create a nation according to your own political ideals and care for its people. Or deliberately oppress them. It's up to you.

I used to play it, but once I got to the end with my first nation and saw everything it had to offer I gave up.

I played NationStates for a while, but then i went on holiday and it got deleted.  I also played NationStates 2 for the brief period that was running (never quite understood what happened there, it just seemed to vanish).  I'm sort of playing CyberNations at the moment (insofar as logging in once a week to collect taxes/pay bills/spend money counts), but i've never been keen on how much of that game is military based - my poor nation keeps getting razed by other players.

Did you guys roleplay in the forums or did you trying playing the actual game and deal with the NationStates version of the UN? They're two very different things. The rp's are much more fun and the community there is laid back.

I've done both, but I've kinda lost interest with it. It was fun being a psychotic dictatorship...

Nationstates2 violated copyrights. Simple as that. As for military based simulators, I make up for that with Civ5 (and EAW  )
