What didn't you like about it?

Also on a side note, do any of you play Town of Salem? I'm really addicted to it.

How are other people in England holding up in this heatwave?

Are you kidding?! This is the best weather I've seen since I moved here! :) So to answer your question: I've been basking in the glorious sunlight and strolling around in parks.

I need help. Please!!! Obesity has become of epidemic proportions in my nation. What issues can I choose to lower it?

Muckistania wrote:I need help. Please!!! Obesity has become of epidemic proportions in my nation. What issues can I choose to lower it?

I think that in general, choices that increase health (e.g. giving more funding to public healthcare, banning unhealthy food, promoting sports, being pro-bike, etc) will help decrease obesity in your nation.
It's possible that making choices that improve your environment, and increase intelligence may also decrease obesity (but don't hold me to that).

Conversely, there are also some choices that could increase obesity (e.g. giving more funding to junk-food industries [beverages and pizza], being pro-car)

Thanks for the advice Fakeland.

He was banjected by Rach but abused the Embassy posting privileges, so he was given a "time out" by the Mods.

FWA Guide: first steps to make a factbook

FWA Guide: first steps to make a factbook

by Factbook writers association fwa

Factbook Writers Association Official Newspaper


Hello readers,
this guide, made with the help of Factbook Writers Association (FWA), is designed to be a small but useful guide for those interested in writing factbooks.

Currently, you have probably already seen many well written factbooks around NationStates, but you need to know a simple truth.
Any good factbook, in fact, contains threee simple sections:

-map;
-resources;
-Government.


1- Map
The first thing you need to do is work out where your nation is. What will it be? An island, a continental nation, an archipelago etc...
Now follows the enviroment: which enviroments can be found in your nation? Woods, deserts, plains, hills, mountains etc.... If you are not planning to invent the animals of your nation, you should also already know which creatures live there.
The enviroment will be strictly linked to your weather.
Now you will already have three characteristics of your nation: geography, enviroment and weather.
You can also think about developing your own national map. If your graphics skills aren't quite so good, you can ask for help from the FWA mapping service. 😄


2- Resources
Based on your weather and geography, you will have different resources on your nation. Of course you can't have them all ; later exchangin resources will also be a nice opportunity to make some roleplay with other countries. For example, you can't grow bananas in colder areas. 😄
A good idea is to choose six main resources, as a starting point.
This is also a good opportunity to decide in which point of time your nation will be Oil won't be a useful resource if you are going to make a nation based on Ancient Roman times, as well as coal won't be very useful if you choose a pre-industrial time period.
You could even have your nation set in the future, or in a fantasy world, and invent your own resources, such as powerful elements necessary to fuel your technologies.


3-Government
Third and last step to start a factbook is describing your national Government. Is it a democracy, a monarchy, an oligarchy etc?
Once decided, you could also start talking about your leader/leaders and their actions. To avoid making things too complicate at the beginning, I suggest that you only concentrate on the leader/leaders and his/her/their family.
In the future, you could also create a family tree, if you desire.
After leaders, it is a good idea to describe how laws are made in your country. If you have an absolute leader, things will be easier for you, but if you don't, you could have one or more assemblies, and describe each of their rights and duties. You may also want to mention any notable laws and policies your country has.


With this short guide, we hope to give you some ideas about how to start a factbook. There are two lasts things for you to remember:
- In writing and creating your nation, your only limit is your imagination.
This is how we suggest to write your factbook, but it's not the only way, but if you follow these main points, you're off to a good start.
- Factbooks can always be modified in the future, so don't worry too much. Your leader can have children, you can change from a dictatorship to a democracy, or anything you want. One of the most beautiful things of writing factbook is that your story is continuously developing!

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for further guides and articles!

Thank you for the details.

Wait what did lenny do? What did I miss?

Aren't you the one who knows him in real life? Shouldn't you know more about it than the rest of us?

But from what Solorni told me, she'd just finally gotten fed up with all his spamming and such, and banned him.
He then created a new account, and spammed balder with about 20 posts, and then a NationStates Moderator came along, and took him away.

Has he talked to you recently this summer Truly, or has he been a hermit and went to hide under his little rock?
Once you do talk to him again (assuming you're still friends), tell him I said hello and to not to mess with my friends here in the great region of Balder ever again through another alias.

Did you not read the FAQ when you started playing the game?

Morning guys :)

Best french era

Afternoon.

So, with the upcoming Olympic games, I've been hearing that a lot about the Russian team.
I agree with the Olympic comities' decision to not auto-ban the entire Russian team, because of the "cheating" of only some of them, but a lot of people seem unhappy with this decision.
What do other people here think about this?
