Be careful. Unless you have a good IC excuse you'll be frowned upon by the majority of established nations.

I would be interested in purchasing one of these nations from you. Preferably Communistpoland, as I am a Pole. :wink:

Alright. I'm putting in a bid for Westukraine then.
WU's boundary is the Dnieper river. And it is a self autonomous part of RF. Dijoun also put in a bid for this nation in the International incidents forum.
What are you bidding?

West Ukraine is no longer for sale. It has just been sold for 15 trillion.

Whittier: It's generally considered poor RPing if you sell off your nations. If you're asking for money that will go to your nation, it must be IC since there's an IC transaction going on because of the transfer. If it's IC, then there must be an IC reason why the entire nation is being pawned off, residents included. If you can provide a good IC reason then that's okay, but otherwise you've got a problem. Why is an entire nation selling itself to someone else, and why are the people allowing it? If the nation being sold is a colony or other tributary of another nation, reasons for the main nation selling it should be given, along with, once again, how the people of the nation are handling it. It gets easier if you're just selling the land that the nation is on and not the people, because then you just need to explain why the nation is selling that land (usually because it's moving) or why your main nation is selling that land (if the nation being sold is a tributary). OOC is the only place all barriers are removed, because then it's your right as a player to say "I'm giving these away because I don't want them". It's also theoretically acceptable to sell them for real money, but good luck finding a buyer. Of course, this is all just good RPing. You could just say "screw you, I'm selling these nations IC anyway", but then I would have wasted all this time typing. I hope that you at least take the time to explain yourself one way or another.

The reason is OOC. I am tired of keeping them up though I did it with a random number generator. I am not going to have time to keep them up.
And I have other OOC reasons. The money is fictional though I considered doing it for RL money. See your tgs.
