Now I am getting serious. Writing out my own store. Das-Husland industries.

Urgh.

lots and lots of writing, researching and description.

You can have a custom made industry?

You can make a 'store' thread on the forum.

I think I need to dominate the world narcotics market...

Nope. That's my market. I will invade your nation and enslave your people if you touch it

Try me, fool.

And so it is set..

I vote Blap controls the world neurotics marked, given that he's putting 50% of his economy into funding TomSka.

Good, because I threw them over my border and into yours.

THE FREE LAND OF FREE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF FREE PEOPLES

"Because being truly free, is the best kind of freedom"
~Liberal Democratic Socialists

"The Free Land of Free Democratic Republic of Free Peoples is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Trout Farming.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Free Democratic Republic of Free Peoples's national animal is the EAGLE, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Free Dollar."

Im trying to play this as a "free country" that is trying too hard to be free, to the point of oppression

The Glorious Leader is amused.

Too late. Teheheheh.

The Glorious Leader was, in fact, amused by the event that his suspension from dakka ended, and he had TWO forums to browse on again.

I'm afraid to say that my country either has died or will die soon. I simply have no time, so I will have to leave. If ever you are invaded and are in a dire situation, call upon me, until then goodbye.

well, I joined

Did you join http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_off_topic_waste or the other? Password for this one is 'dakka'.

I have returned to claim back my kingd- place among the other nations of the region.

The Off Topic Waste - NationStates

Welcome to the thread for the DakkaDakka Nationstates thread! We on DakkaDakka have our own so called 'region', where all are nations are located in. The awesome thing is: you can join too! Huzzah!

What is NationStates?

According to the Nationstates FAQ:

NationStates is a free nation simulation game. You create your own country, fashioned after your own ideals, and care for its people. Either that or you deliberately torture them. It's really up to you.

Basically, you create your own nation, and rule over it. Every day you get one or two issues (or one every week, you can choose that in the options menu). The choices you make with these issues affects your country. This is what the NationStates FAQ says about it:

Once or twice a day, you'll face an issue, and need to decide what to do about it. How you respond will determine almost everything about how your nation evolves.

There's no micro-management in NationStates! You control your nation by making broad policy decisions, not tweaking numbers

And what if you don't like any of the solutions to the issue you just got? That's right, you'll do the same as a real government: you press the dismiss button, wich will mean that in a couple of hours, the issue is gone. Just ignore your people!

Why play Nationstates?

Why not? NationStates is a fun, web-based game. Granted, if you don't like text, you won't like it, but you're on this forum anyways, so I take you don't have any problem with that. NationStates also has a forum, wich is mainly used for Role-Playing games. Most of these use your entire nation or some important people from your nation, others are set in an entirely different place and time.

Sweet! How do I join you guys?

Knew you'd ask that! First of all, create your nation on nationstates.net. Then, first of all, go and do some issues. You'll have four from the start. Then, head over to our region, The Off Topic Waste and hit the button that will move your nation to our region. You'll be asked a password, because we don't want random people we don't know joining. Well, maybe we do, but I'm a bit paranoia. The password is simply 'dakka'.
If you did all this, you're in our region, and are good to go to play NationStates!

What next?

Well, if you like, you can start working on your factbook. This is where you write down all sorts of stuff you want about your nation. You should also head over to the Regional Message board, down at the region page, and say hi. You should also do that in this thread, so we know who that new nation is. Then, you can head over to the Forum and take a look to see if there is a Role-Playing game you might like and can join.
Don't forget to come back every now and then or, preferabbly, daily! You'll get new issues every day, and your country needs you!


By the way, this is my nation.
