After long anticipation, the NationStates Trading Card Commission has announced that it has received enough danishes to complete work on the next season of Trading Cards.

This new season brings:

• A super slick and sleek new design by our new designer Infinitta. Just look at it. It's beautiful.

• The addition of banners! A nation's banner is now set as a background in the bottom part of that nation's card.

• Ruthless testing by Tech Moderator Refuge Isle, who tested billions upon billions of nation cards to make sure every single one looks as good as it possibly can (full disclosure: these numbers may be ever-so-slightly exaggerated).

• Released in 2024! As it turns out, the preview started at exactly 1 second before the earliest timezone of our host planet Earth enters 2025. This may or may not be a coincidence.

As with prior seasons, there is a 14 day inscription period (until 4 days ago), during which you can update your card before it becomes permanently inscribed. To update your card:

1. Set your nation's flag, banner, slogan, etc, just the way you like in your Settings.

2. Go to Your Deck and click View Card: (Your nation). It's on the right-hand side of the page, near the top.

3. If you're looking at your own Season Four card, just above it, you'll see a special Season Four Preview notice that invites you to inscribe the card using your nation's current state. Do that!
