Yes, NS does odd things. For example this update I have notification that I'm ranked Top 10% for Most World Assembly Endorsements.....

...Even though I'm not in the WA ? *scratches head*

The massive influx of new nations from Imgur and Reddit has caused the the minimum rankings for a badge to be lowered. To be in the top 1% ranking last week, you had to be somewhere above 1400. Now, the minimum ranking for a top 1% gold badge is around 1700.

"How did you find NationStates?"
There was a news broadcast on the National network about one of those new MMO Games. This was Back in 2002 or 2003 sometime. Before Wifi o.o

That's something I'd like to know too! Hopefully our poll will help figure it out!

I'm not sure if there's an app but you can definitely play on your phone via any browser!

Stately is a good app on Android

I joined Equilism back in 2014 when a bunch of my friends played...I kinda fizzled out after a while, but I saw that post on Reddit and I thought "Hey why not?" I had some good fun two years back when I represented Equilism in some kind of Inter-Regional Games with a few other nation-states from this region. Not sure if that's still a thing, but it was pretty neat.

Yeah I was playing around 3-4 years ago. Saw the comment on that reddit thread and decided to make a new account and come back.

I first joined NS and Equilism back in July 2009! I saw an ad for NS on another browser-based game called AstroEmpires. AE is still around but it's a shell of its former self, hardly anyone plays anymore and there's just way too many servers.

It's hard for me to remember what it was like to be new also... but even then, I can't imagine what it's like to be new now. NationStates is a lot different than it was in 2009!

Papa Westwind, we need stories about ancient NS and ancient Equilism!

*nods* I haven't really made use of it, but I've installed and looked at it. Seems fine. There is a thread for Stately in the NS Technical forum.

Papa? *chuckles* Ten - twelve years ago everyone called me Gramps. :P Of course, we paid more attention to the Equilism Family Tree in those days. At the top of the tree was original Founder Equility and Co-Founders Westwind and Ostendt. According to lore of that time, Westwind was said to be as ancient as dirt, having descended from Methuselah and Helen of Troy, founded in The West Pacific. His decedents were said to have come from relationships with an NS Moderator and a former Delegate of The South Pacific, which some have denied. But it was documented that Westwind did share a Founder nation with said NS Moderator, and was seen with the former TSP Delegate in a compromising scene that included chocolate, strawberries, and biting in the ADN Bar.

Then there was the time that Equilism granted me the title 'Lord Snuffleupagus'. I'm still not sure what I think about that one. :P

I've got another request for ancient tales that's been made for an upcoming event. I don't know when that will be. The early days of Equilism all center around defenderism, the alliance defense network, and the alliance liberation league. We we close allies on the field of battle with regions like Nasicournia, Juxtaposition X, Belgium, Nederland, The North Pacific, The West Pacific. Then, the r/d game began to falter, interest began to stagnate. Then game the rush from NationStates to Cybernations that sapped activity in NS. And finally the addition of the Influence game mechanic in 2006 completely changed the invasion game. Defender regions went inactive en masse. Equilism watched as it's allies shifted. TNP, racked by successive delegacy battles withdrew into itself. TWP, with internal boredom and an internal struggle for power parted from it's defender allies and took an independent road. Our active alliance organizations dropped to near silence, even as a new FRA was being created. The vacuum of inactivity in the old made opportunity for the new. After the game mechanics had been changed; after our allies went inactive; after r/d gameplay had slowed to a crawl; after we found that our own government couldn't pass legislation due to being unable to secure a quorum, and no one want to run for high office........

That's when we executed The Schism operation, and left that past behind, resulting in The Realm of Equilism. Fall of 2006. So...only ten years of history left to go, eh?

Switching to this region was a great choice

Can someone link me the reddit post , i found this simply because i google nation creation game :D

I dunno, never been on reddit myself.

Q: How did you find NationStates?
A: Other (say on the RMB!)

I received an email from my first ex-wife about it, December 2003. She said she thought I'd be interested. I created a nation (I don't recall the name, I was interested in using Albion in the name, but it was taken is all I recall), then was too busy with the holidays to check things out. Came back in January '04, founded Westwind, and after a couple days in TWP and TNP I followed the recruitment tg to Equilism. The region was only about a week or two old at the time I arrived. Equility was Founder/Delegate/President, Rhovanian was VP, Tomika was Military Minister, Swampland was Minister of the Environment, Daradah was Minister of Immigration.

The first constitutional convention was held at this time on our first forum, on Proboards. At it's conclusion, elections were held. I ran for Senate and won my seat. Equility was elected President, Tomika was elected Prime Minister/Delegate, and Rhonanvian (sp) was appointed VP again. Tomika also stayed as Military Minister, Ellandar was appointed Intelligence Minister (later uncovered as a spy and ns rule violator - was perma banned from the region), The Environmental Ministry was abolished (it has no purpose in NS). Daradah continued in Immigration (he did a good job very quietly). Equility and Tomika then appointed me to Interior Minister. I was also a soldier and intelligence agent. I infiltrated a raider organization called TAG, that then was dissolved as it's members joined the, then new, DEN organization. Later, I discovered and investigated Ellandar's activities and presented the case for his removal. I was then appointed Intelligence Minister, and I recruited Tse Moana to take over at Interior. Then, Tomika decided to step down as Prime Minister/Delegate to concentrate on the Military. I was then appointed to finish out his term, and was then elected to two more terms, followed by two terms as President.

I first became a Co-Founder when Equility went on vacation in the summer of '04. He gave access to his nation to Ostendt and I. Soon afterwards, Ostendt 'retired' from active gameplay, simply maintaining his nation until last year (He had suggested I do the same: "NS only takes 5 minutes a day"). Ostendt started as an advisor to Equilism, and is originally a native of Belgium. Every new billion in population, he would switch regions between Belgium and Equilism. A year later when Equility went on vacation again, he never returned and I was the sole holder of the founder nation.

Another early advisor to Equilism was Ptopia. Ostendt and Ptopia, as well as GLA (Global Liberation Army - first defender organization in NS history) helped train Equilism's early military and intelligence operations. Yes, the first military operation went poorly. But we quickly solidified as the next couple missions were major battles. The one I particularly recall was Northern Ireland. I think that was our second or third mission. Northern Ireland was an active community in a founderless region that was constantly under invader threat. They also took some political positions that made them a target in the NS-wide conflicts between Raiders and Defenders, as well as the NPO and the Atlantic Alliance vs. Defenders.

Also during this early time period, I joined the ADN (Alliance Defense Network), the largest defender alliance ever in NS with about 60 member regions at it's peak. It had several incarnations and I joined on the same day that they ratified their new constitution (second incarnation) on February 29, 2004. Also on the very same day, the Atlantic Alliance raiders formally disbanded. ADN had been formed to oppose AA, thus the time was rather curious. In that incarnation of ADN, I was Officer of Public Relations followed by Prosecutor General. I later negotiated a peach treaty (along with Eurosoviets) between the ADN and Ireland to end that war. When the ADN President Vasquez violated ADN's Peace Treaty and attacked Ireland after the treaty was established, I investigated and brought impeachment articles against him. Instead, he resigned. That incarnation of ADN quickly fell apart as the VP was revealed to be a raider spy, and the ADN Congress was hopelessly gridlocked. 'ADN Reloaded' was the third incarnation undear a charter instead of a constitution, ending it's role as an extra-regional government. I was then elected Deputy Director of ADN, and became Acting Director when the Director when inactive.

And that brings us back up towards The Schism again....

Beauty and love

Hello everyone I'm just curious as to if we are still in need of people to join the E-army. I was reading a bit on the forum after I went there looking at the WAD nomination and saw that it was a pretty major issue previously because there was not enough participants. I was wondering where I can go to join and if there is a forum for it as I have a few other questions about it?

Thanks in advance

Hi there, Yanoville! It's awesome to see that you're interested in joining the E-Army! You can find a URL to the E-Army application in the welcome telegram you received when you moved into Equilism.
