Way back in March 2020 while browsing Reddit and DeviantArt, I came across this gallery of “ideology flags” by Szjuski. The idea behind these “ideology flags” is: you take the flags of countries, and change them to represent the same country under different governments or ideologies. Republic — “Republicanism is an undefined ideology that wants to get rid of any monarch or autocratic systems in favour of a republic.” Communism — “Communism is the end goal of all socialist systems, it is the stage at which the state is dissolved, and the workers have taken full control over all. Capitalism and the state have been abolished and replaced with localist comm…

How to HOI4 your country ? Here is a tool to create political windows, wurld news and super events in the style of the mod "The New Order" from Hearts of Iron 4. HOI4 is a military strategy game about WW2, and TNO is an alt-history mod happening in the 1960s, in a wurld where the Axis won WW2. First, use this link : https://zakki0925224.github.io/tno-super-event-generator/ (I recommend doing it on computer but I'll still tell you in part IV how to optimize quality on phone.) Parts : I. Political window for a short presentation of a country II. Wurld news for a newspaper article III. Super events for a major event accompanied by a quote IV. How …

So at first, I thought of doing this on a monthly basis. Just to show the headlines from the past month. But, as it turns out, too many newsworthy events are happening. And it would turn this "summary" into a 3-minute video. So I went and turned this into a weekly thing. And included everything from the past 4 weeks of April. Staff is already posting these headlines on the main NS forums. This usually happens every Monday. https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=368243 I made the clips based on those headlines. Images and videos are coming from free stock sites such as Unsplash and Pexels, because I want to stay away from copyr…

Earlier this week, I was playing around with the hedcut effect as used in the Wall Street Journal. These are small, colourless images that look like a stipple drawing. It's a decades-old, hand-drawn illustration style that first appeared in 1979. A lot of our players also use portrait pictures to show who their characters are. Wall Street Journal claims to have an AI-driven online portrait generator, but sadly that's only available to WSJ members. I also tried the StipleGen software, but its Github project appears abandoned since 2016. Finally, I had a look a how to create hedcut portraits, and followed a YouTube tutorial to achieve a similar effect…

So during the last few weeks, we've experienced a flood of top-notch Europa memes on our Discord (which you can join here ). So I figured instead of annoying people with pinning every single one of them in the #sh*tposting channel, it's time to create a proper gallery for our masterworks of memery. Feel free to post and/or discuss Europa memes in this thread! @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @Adaptus, 14.04.2018 @Adaptus, 14.04.2018 @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @Adaptus, 14.04.2018 @Adaptus, 14.04.2018 @Asgeirria, 14.04.2018 @…

Hello there! General Kenobi I'd like to request coat of arms for my four branches of the Limonaian Armed Forces, as I'm not that skilled with making more delicate things than simple flags. I can help with ideas at least, and I don't need something massively complicated since I'm asking for so many... Branches are: Esercito Ducale - Army Marina Ducale - Navy Aeronautica Ducale - Air Force Carabinieri - Paramilitary Police

As requested by @Tagmatium Rules . I do hope I got the colour right. That pinkish purple comes in a tricky shade to correctly emulate. We started out from this one image I created ages ago. To that, I added some more poses with high-resolution images I found elsewhere. https://imgur.com/a/kqG5ELB 1. Kommodus pointing 2. Kommodus with book 3. Kommodus giving a speech

So this is something @Orioni and I have been talking about this July, but I couldn't find a good moment to kickstart the project. Well, now I've found it! The National Map Service is just what it sounds like. You request a map, I do it. Please keep in mind that this is a pretty complex task and, believe me or not, I do have a real life aside from NS, so each map could take a few days/ weeks to make. I only do maps for people who are on the map (makes sense, right?). If your nation will expand on the map after I have already done a map of your nation, I will update it, but it will have a lower priority than any other map jobs. As an example of how those ma…

I'm trying to make signatures for my ministerial characters, as a way of signing off messages and such. Does anyone have any tips? I found an online signature generator and I'm not sure if it doesn't look a bit sh*t or not. Example: And the website: https://www.mylivesignature.com/ I'm not as creative as many of the people on this forum and I don't know whether I have the time or the money to invest in something better.

I got bored. Have fun using your ATARA/Europa Desktop Icons! They are super easy to do with GIMP try it! I'm sorry they look so crude and unrefined. I just don't want to zoom to like +1200 and edit the tiniest bit. Also there are some errors I simply can't fix. The streak of white in the Europa seal icon, the width of the ATARA Blue and White, I can't seem to fix those with the conventional tries. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CTP7Hd5mJKRWo6QiZxWJEgkrOvc5z2f8 Windows 10: just Right Click the desired folder, click "properties", then go to the "customise" tab and click "Change Icon". Select the file and enjoy. IDK maybe @Orioni @Sunset Sea Islands al…

One of my long-planned projects was to make some fine legal tender. Mucho dinero. Paper. I've seen some nice ones elsewhere on NS. And there are films and series set in fictional lands that also make this effort towards realism. For those of you who are interested, here is a nice podcast & article on the matter. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/money-makers/ I'll reply here once I've finished some bill designs.

Hey guys! First of all, thank you all for the warm welcome and the help in getting settled in these last couple days ^~^ Sorry to make this request so soon after joining the region, but my current state emblem is simply the lesser arms of Portuguese Angola, and I would like something a bit more unique. As I lack skills in graphic design and the best image program I have is GIMP, would someone be able to assist me in creating a new coat of arms? To give a brief description; it would consist of the crossed-arms I currently use for my avatar on discord, with this cross within it where the Portuguese flag and the word TODOS currently are placed. (If you…

The image of the black marble speaker stage at the UN is probably very well known. I would like to have something similar for our RP, where we can easily insert our own characters. The image should be horizontal, in landscape mode, and be about 900 x 600px. I imagine it consists of three layers. Front. The speaking stand, with microphones, reading lights, and a golden version of our MUN seal as shown here. Speaker. This layer should be empty. We can insert characters into it, for each player who wants their character to give a speech. Background. Similar to the black marble. You can see the mixed pattern. Unfortunately, I could not find an empty stage. B…

Hello Europa! I hope you are all right! I also wonder if someone could fashion a Coat of Arms for my country? It's a Free city-state and I decided to make it a monarchy (Regna Cristina, in it's own language). Since I can't do that by myself for now, here I come for help, at last with some ideas. Also I'd like to know your opinions on my current flag. Should I change something in It? I am thinking about make the heraldic bird a bit smaller and maybe no borders...

With the recent Nuclear Apocalypse game, I updated our regional logo to 'Kim Jong-nuke'. Now that the game is over, we could either put back to the previous logo, or design a completely new one. Your input and ideas are welcome. The size is limited to 150x100px and must abide by NS TOS.

For my little desert nation I have create a culture that is dependent on oil exports to finance its theocratic government. Sa Hara is an islamic nation, based on peaceful Sufism. However with the coming-to-power of our Supreme Leader that peacefulness has taken a turn for the worse. You can compare it to how Iran is sponsoring Hizballah in Lubnaniyah. My flag is based on the simple green and yellow flag of Mauretania. I can image a coat of arms that incorporates much of the above. But I can't create it myself. Here is what I think it should include. - The shield is heart-shaped like this reference to Sufism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufi_Order_In…
