Essentially, it's nuclear war between yourself and basically everyone else in the game. You can choose to opt out, in which case you cannot attack anyone, but they can't attack you. Even after N-day is over, anything that happened during that time is completely null, so you can't actually lose anything by participating. If you do participate, you get to spend resources to create nuclear bombs and/or shields. Shields can prevent attacks from other players. Bombs take time to travel to other countries, and they can use that time to put up a shield. In the same way, your shields can protect you from enemy nukes.
Also, a more detailed explanation can be found here:
OVERVIEW
N-Day is an opportunity for nations to come together and exchange nuclear weapons in a fiery Armageddon of mutually assured destruction.
To Participate
Once registration opens, you can create or join a Faction. Nations outside a Faction can't attack or be attacked. You can join a Faction when you're ready and leave when you're not (to stay safe).
When the event begins, nations will be assigned a random Specialty and begin to accumulate Production. You will now be able to spend Production, fire nukes and deploy shields.
Watch your nation automatically generate Production at a rate of 1 every 2 minutes. Use it to build Nukes and Shield.
Launch Nukes at other nations and use Shield to shoot down Nukes that are launched at you.
Tactics
The simplest way to play N-Day is to join whichever Faction seems most fun and start targeting Nukes at its enemies while shooting down anything incoming. Your Faction page's icon bar shows everything you need to know, including who's targeting anyone in your Faction, and who your fellow Faction members are targeting.
Attacking: Step by Step
On your Production screen, spend some of your Production to build Nukes. These go into your Stockpile.
On another nation's Nuke page, click/tap the TARGET button and select the number of Nukes to use.
Once Targeted, it takes 10 minutes for your Nukes to reach a READY state (3 for Intel Specialists). Note that your Targeted page is public: All nations can see who is targeting whom.
When your Targeted Nukes are ready, click/tap LAUNCH.
Your Nukes are now categorized as Launches for you and Incoming for your target. Launched Nukes take 3-5 minutes to reach their target. When they do, they earn Strikes for you and inflict Radiation on the target, which reduces their rate of Production. This also earns Score for your Faction and reduces the enemy Faction's Score.
Defending: Step by Step
On the Production screen, spend Production to build Shield.
Find Launched Nukes to destroy. Your top priority is any Incoming Nukes launched at you. Secondarily, you may wish to target Incoming Nukes on anyone in your Faction (see your Faction's Incoming page), and also keep an eye on Targeted Nukes that may threaten you or your Faction in the near future.
Click/tap DESTROY to deploy 1 Shield per Nuke.
Strategy
Strategically, it may be wise to avoid attacks on nations or Factions until you are confident of obliterating them, since this eliminates the possibility of counter-attack. Smaller-scale attacks, which damage but don't destroy an enemy, can lead to an escalating series of grudge-related nuclear exchanges.
On the other hand, targeting an enemy can be an effective warning. And it takes Nukes 10 minutes to be ready to launch, so you can't leave it too late.
Scoring
Each Nuke that reaches a target causes Radiation damage, which reduces the target's rate of Production generation and counts as a Strike for the attacker.
A Faction's Score is Strikes minus Radiation.
Duration
N-Day lasts for 24 hours, after which point, an Arms Control Agreement means that no Nukes can be launched. (In-flight nukes can still land, however.)
The "winner" is the Faction with the highest score; if, that is, nuclear war can be said to have a winner. Which we say it can. It's the Faction with the highest score.
FACTIONS
Once registration opens, Factions can be founded by a Regional Officer of any region. Any and all Regional Officers of that region can update the Faction's official text to issue instructions to Faction members.
Factions can be made open to all members, or restricted to the region's members only.
You can leave your Faction, which is a good way to stay safe if you're signing off for the night. However, you can only do this if you're not engaged with the enemy! That means:
You must not have any nukes targeted or launched at another nation; and
No nukes can be targeted or incoming on you.
Note that in practice, this can make it challenging to leave a Faction, since you may be frequently targeted.
While outside a Faction, you cannot be targeted, and do not generate any Production.
Before joining, it's worth making sure a Faction isn't currently under mass bombardment.
SPECIALTIES
Nations are randomly assigned a specialty.
Military Specialists build Nukes faster: They receive 50% more Nukes when converting Production.
Strategic Specialists build Shield faster: They receive 50% more Shield when converting Production.
Economic Specialists can accumulate more Production: Their production cap is four times larger than the other specialties.
Intel Specialists can finalize targets faster: Their targetted nukes reach READY in 3 minutes instead of 10. They have no Production advantages.
Military Specialist | Strategic Specialist | Economic Specialist | Intel Specialist | |
1 Nuke | 0.67 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
1 Shield | 2 | 1.33 | 2 | 2 |
PRODUCTION
Non-WA nations automatically generate Production at a rate of 1 Production per 2 minutes, up to a maximum of 50 (200 for Econ Specialists).
WA nations automatically generate Production at a rate of 10 Production per 2 minutes, up to a maximum of 150 (600 for Econ Specialists).
Production can be spent on Nukes or Shield.
WA NATIONS
World Assembly members will accumulate Production 10x faster than non-WA members, and have their Production limits increased by 3x.
It is allowed to switch WA membership to receive this benefit for different nations, but (as per regular site rules) you are only allowed to have one nation in the WA at a time.
Keep in mind that if your Production is over the non-WA limit when you resign membership on a nation, the Production on that nation will decrease down to the limit (i.e. if you resign with 75 Production on a non-Econ nation, the Production will drop to 50).
We ask that you refrain from switching WA for N-Day purposes more than once every two minutes. You will not be punished for this, but it is against the spirit of this change to the event mechanics.
NUKES
Nukes are purchased with Production, kept in stockpile until ready, then targeted and launched at an enemy nation.
Launched Nukes take 3-5 minutes to reach their target. While in-flight, they can be shot down by any nation using Shield. If they're not, each Nuke generates 1% of Radiation in the target and earns 1 Strike for the attacker.
SHIELD
Shield can be used to knock out Launched Nukes. You can shoot down any in-flight Nukes regardless of who they are aimed at.
Locate in-flight Nukes under Launches or Incoming, and use the DESTROY button to eliminate them at a rate of 1 Shield per Nuke.
It is possible to waste Shield if multiple nations deploy Shield simultaneously to knock out the same Nukes.
TARGETING
Target a nation by viewing their Nuke page and clicking/tapping TARGET. You may then select how many Nukes to target from your Stockpile.
It takes a short time for a Targeted Nuke to reach a READY state, after which it may be launched. This is normally 10 minutes, but Intel Specialists are faster, finalizing targets in only 3 minutes.
If not launched after 1 hour, Targeted Nukes automatically return to your Stockpile.
RADIATION
Radiation is generated in a nation when it is struck by a Nuke.
Radiation proportionately reduces a nation's Production generation rate. For example, 20% Radiation reduces Production generation by 20%.
When a nation is 100% Radiated, it is destroyed and no longer able to launch any Nukes nor use any Shield.
Radiation is irreversible.
You can leave a Faction when irradiated, but this does not affect your Faction's score.
SCORE
A Faction's score measures strikes and radiation that occurred while those nations were a member. It is unaffected by nations joining or leaving the Faction.

How can you say "I respect the ideas of Marx" but then say "No thank you, I don't want my misconceptions to be corrected"? And to write it all off as "abstract ideological concepts," as if to sterilize and boil it all down to "eh oh well it's basically all the same *shrug*"?
No, you can't say "Marxism is X" and then sidestep when someone opens the door to discussing what Marxism truly is. Your relation to Trotsky is meaningless - I'm descended from German Jews, what do you want?
First if all, you are generalizing communism under Marxism Leninism when there are a wide variety of persons who call themselves “communist.” I call myself communist, but I am not a Marxist. I am an anarchist. The term communist means anyone who wishes for a society governed on the principal of need in return for contribution according to ability. Not every far leftist believes in the creation of a dictatorship of the proletariat. Others want to see the elimination of the state from the very beginning of the revolution and use horizontal and democratic institutions to run the fight and subsequent society through these means.
Your beliefs about human nature have a great many flaws. Humans are greedy yes, but only because the system teaches and forces us to be greedy. Humans are by their very nature, beings governed by the desire for freedom and the desire for survival. Capitalism deprives us of both of these things, are forces us to work to essentially buy our own freedom and means for survival. Our “natural” greed is merely a mechanism for us to gain our own freedom and attain the state of being humans are meant to live in. Within capitalism, only a select few beings with the money and power to do so get to live in this state of freedom. The rest of us toil all our lives, enchanted by the light that we’ll never reach. I've always thought that F. Scott Fitzgerald illustrated this illusion beautifully;
[He] believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther....And one fine morning----
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Once you account for a person’s inherently human nature by supplying them with the means for their survival, and eliminating a currency-based system where individuals don’t have to sell themselves in hopes of a freer future, humans will be left with their inherent capacity for cooperation. In fact, it isn’t more beneficial to cooperate than compete, we are simply instructed by the education system to think otherwise. Capitalism does not "emphasize humanity" nor is it individualistic. That idea is a propagandistic and false notion. In actuality, it subjects us to slavery essentially. We are forced to only perform a specific set off “acceptable” jobs that some of us seldom truly enjoy, in order to gain some pieces of paper that will make our later years a bit more tolerable. And in some cases, people don’t even have that, they’re enslaved all their life and unable to move past their social status because all their time and effort is placed in ensuring their very survival.
You need to disregard what you’re family might say, and do some reading yourself. Blindly swallowing something from our forebearers gets us nowhere. If the Renaissance’s thinkers didn’t challenge the great greek philosophers, would we have advanced? No. We’d still think our hearts go where our livers are.
Forgive me, but as an anarchist I’ve always found this a dangerous concept. It implies that a certain group can mold another at a fundamental level. While this is certainly true to a certain extent, Ive always felt that our adaption to certain circumstances are based around our inherent desire for autonomy and survival. Marx had a great many insights that’s I invariably respect, some of which I follow. But that idea of human nature always seemed off base to me.
Still, power corrupts. Even if one is a machine with theoretically encoded feelings.
Hello, everyone!
why did i get a telegram about nukes are we gonna get attcked
also what do i do
N-day commences at 2200hrs GMT - see the news section.
A brief overview is included in the factbook attached to the news release here:
page=news/2018/09/23/index.html
Yeah, if Lenin's NEP and Mao Zedong's New Democracy was revisionist.
also even if u dont have weapoms of mast destruction can u participate if yes which fracto should i join
nvm i have weapons of mass destruction so how do i join
From my understanding, Lenin’s NEP was temporary, a gateway to planned economy so to speak, unlike Yugoslavia’s market socialism. Not sure if that counts as different enough. I’m really not sure about Mao’s New Democracy though, it’s been a while.
There are no arguments to be made when humans have the inherited traits for autonomy and survival. Dangerous as it may be, anyone can influence another through many methods like charisma which most fascists frequently use as their front to evoke and rally sentiments thus why they have huge investments in propaganda and manipulation. As lethal as it can be where one individual can influence another ten, then the ten to the hundreds, the hundreds to the thousands, the thousands to a million! The left should use it to its advantage to outdo the fascists, sympathize with the general oppressed masses through sympathizing with their limited autonomy and their struggle to survive in a society where it alienates them from connecting with other human beings.
Here is an example of one of the famines that happened under British Rule, the Bengal Famine- https://yourstory.com/2014/08/bengal-famine-genocide/
Tito made a state visit to Beijing after Mao’s death, and in 1978, Hua Guofeng went to Belgrade, at which time the revisionist Chinese press heaped lavish praise on Yugoslavia’s social and economic systems.
Yugoslavia practiced state capitalism and had economic reforms which brought private corporations and ownership over the means of production. Much in the same way Deng Xiaoping did in China.

There is no cure for deathmutes in Western medicine. But Mao Zedong Thought applied in real life situations produces results. Mao’s scientific methods allowed the medical team to discover new acupuncture points related to hearing and speech.
You forgot Black 47.
