This looks like way too much fun:

You establish a nation, answer questions about issues that come up to define your politics, and engage in debate and international policy decisions through the UN.

Here's mine.

Anyone up for establishing the region of Barbelia?

The Falcon

I've got one too!

But I'm playing with the MillarWorld lads and lasses just now.

I see your country's motto is a twist in Optimus Prime's. Very nice.

I'm for the idea of a Barbelia region, but only when we have enough 'lither states as members to make it worth our while (see the UN section of the website).

this could be terribly addictive but your govenment can only get a maximum of two issues to deal with a day still i've started The people's republic of Hoxton crime and corupption is rife but we do have a first rate education system. My prediction is the state will fall within two weeks.

No star here laces

The
Free Land of Shoelaces is established however the game doesn't seem to understand that all my corporations are employee-owned co-ops of no more than 200 and that all exchange is through barter. Ah me.

New region of Barbelith has been established. All welcome.

I have started a nation as well...the Rogue Nation Of Solitaire Rosaries. Look for me to be overthrown by oil companies within the next three months, just like Venezuela.

All welcome? that will never do. How will we keep out the riff raff states? After the peoples republic of Hoxton has moved there of course...

I don't know how much longer this will last. According to the forum administrator, they've been running the site for about two weeks and are already shifting about 3Gb of traffic per day.

yes looks like its been a heap more successful than the author whose book it promotes intended. the danger of all virulent memes.

Why not play midnight golf in the Dominion of Mix... hmm, a very slow round judging by the load-up.

This is too good.

My currency is the Barbel and my animal is the Stoat! The Free Land of Auckland is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its absence of drug laws!

Aye. Load is already pretty bad. I've had a hard time catching up on all the news because of it.

Well, the Sultanate of Argnox is up and sort of ambling listlessly along. The laggy server is making it difficult for me to join the Barbelith region, but once we do, let's become a real problem for everyone else, hey?

pointless and uncalled for

18:06 / 30.12.02

This week I are mostly been joining the region of Barbelith. and that's my Final Say So.

Ethan Hawke

18:24 / 30.12.02

I'm having difficulty uploading my nation's flag (The Republic of Toddsylvania, that is). The stupid server keeps thinking it's larger than 6kb, and you know that ain't right.

My first "issue" was about public nudity. I guess I'm a bit of a milquetoast because I didn't make it mandatory.

So- how does this work? You get an issue (or two - I set it up for two every week day, yet I've only got one today) and you act on it, and your country's ratings change accordingly? What happens if you dismiss an issue? Status quo?

Tryphena Absent

Maybe it comes back to haunt you later!

The People's republic of Hoxton its willingness to reprisent any and all nations of BArbelith's intrests there. We are coincidentally pleased to announce that we accept all major credit cards and comics as bribes.

So how does one go about joining the region of Barbelith?

Tryphena Absent

23:35 / 30.12.02

I believe it's something to do with clicking on the world but I forget... it was 6 hours ago ya know.

02:28 / 31.12.02

If I remember correctly, you visit the Region of Barbelith and there is a link at the bottom of the page for any nation wishing to join.

aus

03:20 / 31.12.02

Also, if you view your own region, the Pacific, there should be a link with the words "Tired of life in the Pacific? Then move to a new region!"

If all went according to plan, I think I've now joined you in Barbelith. But it crashed soon after.

cusm

05:18 / 31.12.02

Ha! The glorious new agey zelots of Carteria have been admidted to the UN, with all their quirky dope smoking and UFO worshiping ways. The fools. Everything is going according to plan...

It seems some people are losing interest in the NationStates game. For those who no longer visit or rarely visit the web site, what sort of reasons are there for your loss of interest?
