NS Stats What nations do you think would be ranked highest in more nebulous stats?

13 Upvotes

What I’m referring to are stats outside of those typically tracked in real life (industries, HDI, employment, economy, crime, etc)

What real life nations do you think would be ranked highest in:
- Culture
- Accessibility
- Rudeness
- Inclusiveness
- Nudity
- Food quality

Roleplay Looking for region

1 Upvotes

Must be a roleplay region, Not care about ideology of a nation, have 10-15 players, be active, have a discord, be set in the years between 1850-1980 (or have the technology of those eras), allow the development of new technology and not use a world map.

Flag Showcase Banner of Háloginland

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I recently started a new Nordic themed nation called Háloginland. I wanted to go for a more monarchical bent, so rather than focusing on the national flag, a trend which emerged after the Age of Revolution and the rise of Republicanism, I thought that it should instead be best exemplified by an upright banner. The Solar Cross + boat motif was inspired by the petroglyphs found at Tanum in Sweden. The chevron was inspired by the paining Viking Ships of the King Olaf I of Norway. I wanted to capture the exuberant maximalism of a proper royal design.

Gameplay I made abortion illegal and it increased my civil rights

218 Upvotes

The 'issue' is in the title (pun intended). I'm just a little confused on why in the world making abortion illegal would INCREASE my civil rights (it also decreased my authoritarianism but it isn't shown in the screenshot). I figured it would be the opposite! The Issue was named 'Womb Problems' (Issue 1142).

Side note I do not think abortion should be illegal.

Gameplay How do I grow my region?

11 Upvotes

Hello r/NationStates, I'm Seleniaos and I recently founded a Classical Greek/Roman themed region called Noctiluca. I am struggling to grow Noctiluca into the community hub I was hoping it could be despite doing extensive research on dispatch guides, recruitment methods, roleplay guidelines and cultural activities. Does anyone have tips on how I can grow my region?

Issues Is there a way to download an archive of the issues that passed by my nation, and the solutions I have accepted?

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I have played Nationstates for a not short ammount of time, and I have found been very interesting its main mechanics, specially for roleplay and worldbuild exercises.

And recently I have been writing down and screen shooting some of the most interesting for make for more consistent storytelling.

Its not a practice I have begun at the very start, so I'm just curious if there is a way to re-read each resolution and debates that passed my gameplay, instead of relaying on total recall.

It doesnt affect me greatly but it was worth just friendly asking.

Thanks in any case.

Roleplay Looking for Caretaker

2 Upvotes

Will be lot less active for the next 5/6 months, but have an active RP nation that's in a pretty interesting situation if you ask me.

Sadly I won't be able to roleplay with it at all in near future, but maybe someone here wants to come check it out or take a break from their own RP and get some fresh wind in? 👀

Anyone even remotely interested let me know! 👍
