13th November 2002 (20 years ago): Acclaimed multiplayer government simulation browser game known as "NationStates" is born
NationStates (formerly Jennifer Government: NationStates) is a multiplayer government simulation browser game created and developed by Max Barry. Based loosely on the novel Jennifer Government, the game was publicly released on 13 November 2002 with the site originally founded as an independent vehicle publicising the novel one week before its release. NationStates continues to promote books written by Barry, but has developed to be a sizeable online community, with a large accompanying forum board. Since its release, over 8.2 million user-created nations have been created, with around 296,676 being active as of 28 October 2022.
In an interview, Max Barry said the influence for the game began with a questionnaire he took: "NationStates was influenced by a little political quiz I did once, where you answer a bunch of multiple-choice questions and have your politics categorised. ... It was fun, but I also wanted to see what kind of country my policies created, and have to deal with the consequences".
The game attracted a thousand players within two weeks, and had 20,700 by the end of the first year. Barry was surprised by the popularity of the game, and saw its discussion forums developing into an arena for political debate. He was impressed by some of the activity in the forums, relating how "one nation accused another of conducting secret missile tests and posted photos to prove it. That escalated into an international crisis that was only solved by sending in teams of independent weapons inspectors".
On 21 January 2008, developer Max Barry received a cease-and-desist letter from the United Nations for unauthorised usage of its name and emblem for the game's fictional organisation. As a result, Barry changed the name of the organisation to "World Assembly". To introduce the changes, it was disguised as an April Fools prank, where the in-game United Nations “spectacularly imploded in a colossal fireball of extra-dimensional inanity” and was suddenly replaced with the World Assembly, and all resolutions passed by the in-game United Nations are now marked as historical resolutions.
Editor's Note: Why would anyone want to play this???

Dead region, because I'm pretty sure most people are posting on other RMBs, e.g Europe or the North Pacific.
I think what he means is the lack of recruitment, as well as the inactive RMB, as well as the very few people who voted in the most recent election
Alright, how about we focus on the positives? :)
