Yeah I'm writing here cause apparently I can't write in the Academy anymore, sorry. So I'm proposing a new country for myself as I want to change from Louvier. I have a lot of new ideas so I'm excited to start a new story. The Republic of Pecario (Estado de Pecario) is a developing country located in Alharu. Pecario is a unitary democratic republic, divided into nine departments. The poverty rate is around 39%. The main economic activities are agriculture, forestry and fishing, manufacturing products, such as textiles, clothing, refined metals, and refined petroleum. Pecario is thus very rich in metals such as tin, silver, or even lithium. The country h…

Remember Cards Against NationStates? Of course you don't, it was eight years ago, that's a thousand years in internet time. But it was the 2015 April Fools event. Like the game "Cards Against Humanity," but NS themed. For this weekend, the game has been fixed up and is highlighted for visibility! You can organize a game with people you know, or randomly dip into someone else's. *** Cards Against NationStates *** View the full article

What better way to celebrate wurld Fair Trade Day than with a wurld Trade Fair? Just like last time, the wurld Trade Fair will involve the collection, confiscation, and stashing of a range of goods. A leaderboard will track which regions stash the most of each kind of good, if you're into that kind of thing.

The wurld Census today announced an important change to the way it tracks Personal Freedom in nations. "Until approximately six years ago, we tracked a particular form of censorship known as Personal Censorship," a spokesperson explained. "We then found a better way using two alternative metrics, Political Censorship and Free Speech. And so we abandoned the old concept of Personal Censorship." "Or so we thought. It turns out that in older nations, our records were still maintaining the old Personal Censorship rating. And this could act as a permament bias on a nation's Personal Freedom, causing that score to be higher or lower than it should, no matter what laws the n…

In the beginning there were regions. But not Founders. Only Delegates. That's right, back in 2002, you started a region and just crossed your fingers that it wouldn't be immediately overrun by hostile forces. It was a wild time. Founders have kept the peace across thousands of regions for the last two decades. But what happens when a Founder slips off into the void and isn't around any more? Well, things would get interesting: often in a good way, in regions that were large enough to form self-sustaining democracies, but sometimes not, and regions would die out. Today we release a package of changes that radically increase your ability to run your region the way you wa…

The wurld Assembly welcomes you to a wurld illuminated... by maps! We outsource the creation of these maps to the many nations of the wurld. It's a two-step process. Before we are even involved, the nation's best artistic resources are summoned to create an image file which represents them and their neighbors, friends, or enemies, each with a unique color. They may also paint part of the map two other colors: one designated for future nation designation (we can call it "land"), and one that is not ("sea"). Once the nation's leadership decides, they can create a Map Version. If they were inspired by the work of another nation, or making revisions to their own previou…

One morning, a new intern, let's call him Igor, trotted up the marble steps of the wurld Assembly. Igor's shoes were brightly polished and his hair was combed real neat, because this was Igor's first day, and he wanted to make a good impression. Like all wurld Assembly interns, Igor had beaten out hundreds of hopeful candidates for the job, and he was desperate to prove himself and to bring honor to his home nation, an 80 million pop Inoffensive Centrist Democracy in a rarely noticed and never-featured regional backwater. Igor's shoes squeaked as he crossed the great floor to the wurld Assembly front desk. "Thirteenth door to the right," said a man, without making eye c…

In this life, only three things can be certain: death, taxes, and the imminent threat of Nuclear Apocalypse. For the first time in NS history, the (now biannual) N-Day will occur in February.

For two decades now, hordes of scientists with PhDs have painstakingly compiled terabytes of data on every nation on NationStates. They have drawn fancy tables, run complex algorithms and compiled countless census tables. The features are multivariate. The correlations are significant. The statistics are all so… lame? Why do we need these people anyway? If we really want to know what the coolest, bestest and most amazing nation in the wurld is, we don't need numbers. We need good old-fashioned democracy! We need the return of Best Nation in the wurld! When voting opens, for 28 hours, you will gain access to this page. Two nations will be shown: just click the on…

To my dearest friends of Eurth, Let me cut to the chase here: Eurth has lost all her luster for me. It’s not you, it’s me. I don’t mean to come off very harsh and direct-it isn’t my style to be honest-but I think many will appreciate it to know what they are reading the rest of the way. This is a decision I came to make over my most recent leave of absence, but I have come to understand it was a possibility some time before that. Eurth is no longer the same for me anymore, and for much of this past year it really hasn't. I have fought my hardest to make Eurth where I would like to be and wish to be. In a sense, it always will be a place I love and hold dear to m…

I'm not sure if you noticed but the site was unavailable for four and a half days just there. It wasn't great, to be honest. Here's the story: What's Working Almost everything should be back and working fine, with no data loss. What's Not Working Trading Cards bids & asks: The major casualty of this episode, apart from the sleep and sanity of admins, is bids and asks on Trading Cards. We're not able to safely restore these.

20th Anniversary Highlights Trading Cards Season 3 Preview - Inscribe your card today! See That Birthday Page Again! I mean hooooooly crap. TWENTY YEARS. For perspective, the web itself is only 33. Here are some things that didn't exist when NationStates launched: MySpace, Digg, wurld of Warcraft, Facebook, XBox Live, iTunes, Skype, Firefox, Chrome, iPhones, Reddit, Twitter, Wordpress. NationStates began in a time where any idiot could make a website and people would go check it out, because there weren't many to choose from. In 2002, I was that idiot, learning to code from a book, hacking the site together, and emailing a few fri…

This post courtesy of Issues Editor The Marsupial Illuminati. The Issues Editing team is now proud to present a better model for the Recreational Drug Use wurld Census scale. The old model, implemented in December 2017, only considered Civil Rights when calculating a nation's score, leading to many nations being tied for first place, with older nations being ranked first by default. To promote competition and improve the simulation, a more accurate model has been devised which considers many factors in addition to civil rights. Great care has been taken to ensure that the highest-ranking nations do not share the same score. Will you be able to reach that perfect…

The NationStates Trading Card Commission would like to announce some key changes aimed at streamlining the market. 1. "Market Value" The Commission has developed a new method of calculating a card Market Values, as reported on card pages. The new method is similar to the old one, in that it aims to represent the approximate value of a card on the open market, but has the advantage of not being horribly gamed. All cards are currently being reviewed under the new method, with updated values expected to filter through over the next day. This will also flow on to collectors' Deck Values. 2. Premium Sales Now Attract an Auction Fee The Commission disco…

Hello guys, I know it's been a while since I just did something on the forum and I've really sorry about that. Since the 1st of September, I entered graduate studies (I believe it's the correct term, I talk about the studies after highschool) and I have a lot of work. So, as painful enough it is to me, I'll have to leave Eurth role-play because of the lack of time. If I could stay, I would, but I just can't. I would like to thank Eurth's wonderful and dynamic community for having welcomed me and helped me. For the newcomers, I can only recommand you to engage yourself here, because this community worth it. I think I'm not gonna leave the forum and the disco…

Every decade or so, we adjust the name re-use rules, allowing some previously reserved nation names to be reused for founding new nations. It's that time again! Starting next week, you can create nations with names of ex-nations with populations between 500 million and 1 billion. This doesn't happen often, because we want people to be able to come back years later and revive their old nations. But with eight million nations created over the last twenty years, it's harder than ever to find a good name. Names only become available for re-use if a nation has been inactive for five years, isn't a Site Supporter, and doesn't meet a range of other criteria. The populatio…

This post comes courtesy of Senior Issues Editor Pogaria. I remember when NationStates only had 31 issues. National leaders in those days were faced with the same dilemmas over and over. Just when you thought that your nation's rainforests couldn't possibly have any more uranium deposits, someone stumbled upon another one. Fortunately, we added the 1500th issue to NationStates earlier this year, all thanks to the many wonderful people who write issues for us. Whether you've submitted dozens, or you've just written your first issue for the annual contest, we appreciate everyone's efforts. Speaking of which, it's nice to earn rewards for your accomplishments. Espe…
