NationStates: N-Day 9: World Annihilation

[NationStates News]

As the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons comes to pass each year, so does the total elimination of all nuclear weapons on NationStates. This weekend, join us in getting rid of all those pesky, dangerous nukes in the most efficient way known to mankind - by launching them at your nasty neighbours!

• Be amazed as your citizens go from protest to praise, proud of living in a completely nuke-free country, mere minutes after launch.
• Rejoice as your nation's laziest labourers head down to the factories with newfound motivation, gazing at the rocket trails on the horizon.
• Take heart as fellow nations join your cause, banding into great factions. The larger they get, the harder they fall! Note: N-Day will have no actual effect on any nation stats.

  The apocalypse begins in in:

  Click here for your local time: @@JGConfig::time_ago(1696111200)@@ We are keeping the pre-registration from last year, meaning that you will be able to create and join factions a few days before the event begins. Furthermore, collaborative efforts between wurld Assembly member states have borne fruit in new production technologies. This year, nations that are both members of the WA and an N-Day faction will receive a significant boost to their production speed and cap. You can read more about this, and N-Day in general, in the dispatch below: @@JGConfig::parse_nscode("https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=874170", 2)@@ As always, be on the lookout for the soon-to-open Vault 41 subforum.

This N-Day, I learned two things. Firstly, everyone loves having ten times as many nukes to fire. Secondly, everyone loves it when those nukes are fired at four-time winners Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who ended this event at the bottom of the scoreboard with almost 745,000 radiation.

Congratulations to the winners Kingly Heathens Asserting Neighborliness and runners-up Potato Alliance, whose coalition clinched their victory from the combined forces of the third to fifth place factions. A special shoutout to Anime Nations Against Liberals (3rd) for raking up a record 782,622 intercepts; to Jellyfish Elite Fighting Force (4th) for accumulating a score of 97,791 with less than 100 nations; and to Starlight Brigade for placing fifth overall despite averaging 91.2 radiation per nation.

The final top 10:
