I took a pretty long hiatus from exams and kind of disappeared quite some time ago, and when I decided to come back I didn't really have any concept in mind and that kind of died off pretty quickly. Now that most pressing IRL matters are over I'm looking to return to TWI with this nation ^^

Join Argus please.

Just two more nations and Argus will be complete!!!

Meet a Nation

We're adding another new feature! Each month, I'll sit down with one of our regional members so that everyone can get to know them a little bit better. This month I sat down with Republic of Tikistan, the 98th Knight of TITO!

HS: How did you originally hear about NationStates?
Tiki: I saw it in a message board of general stuffs
HS: When you signed up what were you expecting?
Tiki: I thought its gonna be about making my nation and laws and government and such
HS: How has that differed from why you've stayed around?
Tiki: I didn't know there will be a lot about acting with other nations and also I didn't know there is gonna be regions
HS: What specifically about "regions" and XKI specifically attracted you initially?
Tiki: I like to react with other ppl and also I like to be a defender. TKI is specially active.
HS: And what keeps you coming back day-in and day-out to play?
Tiki: Counting threads are fun also I like Tito Knights missions but I am using a app now and missions are hard to do. Probably I'm gonna not use the app soon.
HS: What would you say is your proudest accomplishment in NS?
Tiki: Being a TITO knight
HS: What is the time you've laughed the hardest playing this game? The time this game has upset you the most?
Tiki: Woonsocket made me laugh a lot but I can not remember 1 time only. I got little bit upset when people accused that I am a invader.
HS: Do you have anyone that you'd consider like a mentor to you in NS? Why and what did they do for you?
Tiki: Yes Woonsocket When I got a question always I tell him also he told me how I better do TITO missions and such.
HS: Do you have any goals in NS that you're working towards that you haven't accomplished yet?
Tiki: I wish I will get 100 battle stars but it is little bit slow now because I am using my phone for posting and it is harder to do missions on my phone.

Thanks all for reading! Until next month!

Hello! My current plan is a warhammer 40k themed nation. If you don't know of warhammer 40k, basic premise is it's a hellhole. The idea is either my planet is a Forge World of the Adeptus Mechanicus (basically one massive military factory) or as either a Death World of the Astra Militarum (bascually a massive military bootcamp on a very dangerous planet).
If you want to read up on the lore of 40k, I've begun to delve into the ancient galactic history with the War In The Heavens.

Man do the eusocial insect queens have it worst.

Imagine a human society ran by an all-female military who select a baby girl and then force her to have as many babies as she could with disposable men when she grows up.

I'd argue it's worse for the males. They serve no purpose other than to breed and then die off quickly. At least the queen gets treated well and tends to last a while (relatively speaking)
