Try to lower your spending on stuff like defense, etc. For example, if something pops up like *lower payments on defense*
Markanite petition to make the slogan for ATA "Interesting."
When the issues arise, choose not to spend on social services, health care, Education, military, foreign aid. But those choices also have unintended consequences. 🙄
There's the annual Zombie Invasion and that's about it for events. That said, I do look forward to it all year.
Isn't N-Day in 4 days?

Hello Islanders! It is my extreme pleasure to announce the International Convention! The International Convention is a roleplay event that will last a month, from September 23rd to October 24th, and will be comprised of 5 events, along with a war, and lots of side roleplaying. All events will be held on the NationStates site. This event has been in the works for a long time, and I have been collaborating with Minister of Education 
Grea Kriopia, and Lyonesse East Senator 
Thedairos. For more information, please consult this dispatch. For any further questions, please contact 
Wille-Harlia or Thedairos. See you there!

An icon. A legend. A champion for equality and justice, using practical, measurable goals to advance feminist equality through the gradual creation of actionable precedent in key cases that have had a profound effect on United States jurisprudence ever since their original argumentation.
Who else could I speak of but Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Notorious RBG, one of the greatest and most powerful feminists of her generation and an unexpected pop culture icon. In the wake of her death, now is the perfect time to look back on the career of this truly awe-inspiring woman. There is no better place to start than her cases argued before the United States Supreme Court, the most powerful court in one of the most powerful countries in the world. But of the six she argued, which one do you think is most important? What are your opinions on the questions argued in these cases? How do you think her tendency to argue in cases extending rights to men previously only given to women impacted how the Supreme Court ruled on key cases that broke barriers around gender inequality? Are there areas of the law you feel need a separation around how men and women are treated?

i don't have a military tho
Then you can use the guides in the dispatches, and make one if you like! Also, if you do head over to A Taco Archipelago, so people can give you advice, and so you can RP with them!
I lowered my tax rate mostly by choosing options that would give higher freedoms (siding with CEOs as long as they aren't asking for government funding for instance). Anything that requires you to pay, assume that'll raise your tax rate. Anything that is about a reduction in services will result in a reduction in tax as well.
Haha, I'm not sure why that was posted, but I guess that was a saved draft to some other post I was responding to, and then I forgot about it.
Wait why is HS rejecting all the embassy requests
Just my two cents:

No, petition to make it: What is happening? Yes
And this
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.

Government Factbook Event
Thank you again for coming to the International Convention!
As we continue introductory events to the Convention, we would like to know more about who runs your nation! How is your government set-up? Who is the head of state? Are there different political parties? What do your elections look like (if any)? This type of information is best compiled into a Government Factbook so you can easily inform your peers of your system of government.
The Government Factbook Creation will run until the end of the entire Convention to guarantee that your government system is well thought of, as it is one of the most important components of your nation. It is intended to be more of a workshop instead of a contest, so feel free to do some research and discuss your ideas with others on the ATA RMB!
Most of you advanced Roleplayers will have probably already created some kind of government factbook. If so, you can use this time to edit and improve it a bit, discuss it with others on the ATA RMB or work on designing a map for the Map Creation Event.
We also have a helpful RP Resource Guide where you can find some advice for your worldbuilding.
*nervous sweating*
this is going to take a lot of time for me to write
