I know you guys likely don’t care but this is extremely important to me. My family are extremely homophobic and transphobic, they hate everything to do with the LGBTQIA+. I, myself, am apart of the community. I am Pansexual and Non-binary. I understand if you really don’t care but it makes me feel better to know that other people know who can’t tell my parents therefore, they can’t disown me. I also understand if you don’t like me or don’t want to chat with me anymore because of this. I hope you can respect me and refrain from being hostile towards me. I’m sorry if this revelation makes you uncomfortable. I’ve been debating telling you guys this since I’ve joined, I was going to come out during pride month but I realized that it may cause some to question the validity of my statements.

I'm really sorry you're going through that situation with your homelife, mate. Spiritus has always had really strong pro-LGBTQIA+ values and a pretty sizable populace identifying under those demographics, so there really shouldn't be any problem at all and I sincerely hope you feel welcomed and accepted. If there is any hate speech that does go on, all I have to do is go log into The Spirit and they'll take a quick trip out of this region ;)

I got a fun question for everyone :D
how did you find nationstates? I found it through a reddit post.

I found it while digging the internet in a search for a good browser game

I saw it on a Texas A&M football forum that grew large enough to have a subforum dedicated to politics, and somebody posted about it. So pretty random.

That might be the most random I've heard actually! :P

I believe I was looking for a browser sim game. It was one of the first ones that came up, and luckily it's like the least complicated one out there.

I was a huge Sim City fan at the time, and I thought "Why not expand this to a countrywide scale?"

So I searched online for something like that and initially joined both NS and Cyber Nations, but only ever got properly into NS.

Good choice, Cybernations is a smoking dumpster fire. Even if you got past the horribly dated design and gameplay, The Pacific's Cybernations branch basically won the game already.

Am I the only one who bought and read the book?
Then I came here. I liked the name 'Spiritus' and stayed for the amazing Polls. 😊
I can't be bothered to move, so yeah.

I like the book! :P But I read it after joining NS.

Can’t believe I didn’t notice this for two days because I was struck by flu, but now that I’m here, I just want to say that regardless of its background, all living beings are deserving of equal respect.

Except for when it comes to crows.
Or Alderaanians
Shoot wrong speech

Anyways, while it is prudent to keep this from your family, do not let this situation make you feel worthless, because you’re not.

Now, some final words before a friend snatches my phone away from me because I’ve been staying up too late recently despite falling ill for no reason at all: “Just like how our world is filled with objects of various sizes, shapes, and colour, it is also filled with humans of various characteristics. Imagine how dull it would be if we see only black and white, or if everyone was a raven-haired, brown-eyed, heterosexual English speaker with the family name of Smith and exactly two children and two parents.”

Recommendation from a friend, asked me to join for the sake of creating a “utopian” city-state. Never got around to that.
