2 BILLION! (almost)

Almost 1 year. In a little less than a month, my nation will be a year old. And my pop. will reach 2 billion slightly before that. (I am currently at 1.943 Billion)

it's just a big landmark, one year. The only sucky part is that people are rreaching 3 billion as I reach 2 billion. :lol: Kind of reminds me of my spot on the NS food chain.

I have seen many things over this last year. WW5, GDODAD's many lives, Pink Bunny Cola, Marathon's deleation, Slag's Pudding, and the progressive degradion of the NS server. I could go into detail, but I won't, as many other people have already gone over this in their threads.

I would like to thank New Genoa, for giving my nation a home in the APTO, Zoir for his continued support in our RP's, Sunset for rendering my spaceships for me, and many more that I can't remember. :P

I have sadly outlived my oldest dearest ally, Novus de Italia, who was my ally mere hours after both of our creations. He celabrated our 1 billion/6 month annaversery with me, but sadly, he is not here to celabrate this one.

Well....in conclusion, I like to say that I'm not going anywhere. I've lasted 1 year, and I intend to last another one. Oh, AND KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY COOKIES! :lol:

Once you hit two billion, the population difference between you and a 3 billion nation doesn't really matter as much. It matters less about numbers (as it gets more difficult to support increasingly large armies) and more about strategy and especially tactics.

Besides, most any nation would fear a two billion nation with a frightening + economy.

Or even a one billion one like me. :p

Congrats, AO! I just hit the One Billion mark today. I'm about halfway there, as you. My 6 month annaversary is the 21 of this month, the day before my birthday, so next week will be a happy one. If I'm not crushed by a war. :D

point well taken.

Congradulations. I myself passed two billion a while back, but I've not been participating much in the forums due to so called "real life" issues. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to reaching the 1 trillion mark. :P

I was wondering what had happened to you :P . Is it safe to assume that we are still allies?

oh, and I will continually be bumping this up until the big day, when I will make my big IC speech.

oh har har har. :roll:

I still have no idea why you always are several stepps ahead of me. I mean, your founding date is AFTER mine! :?Did you ever go on Vacation Mode?
Did you ever get deleted, and ressurrected?
Did you ever vote for population control in one of your issues?

If not, then I guess Resians are just better lovers than Atlantians. :wink:

I think I've been on vacation mode since day one, and my pop. has continued to increase.
never got deleated. I've been a good boy :wink:
I ditched issues. To time consuming :P

Three billion? Bah.

The Three-pronged FARK of Josifovich is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.16 billion.

how can someone have 4 billion people? NS has only been up for a year and a half. :?

Unless he has the Pop. bug

The oldest nation on the game. But, when I count and compare pops I only do so with RP active nations which many of the Úber Giants are not.

Wee. I've been taking slow growth hormon pills so I'll be older than a year before I become 2 billion

odd then, Elara and the Late Novus both must have had it set to "Vacation" mode, as Novus's pop. was exactly like mine until he died from inactivity, and Elara's has always been just slightly ahead.

It's a rare occassion when someone hits the 2 billion mark without the pop bug.

Maybe not rare but I see a lot of nations 3-5 months younger than me with higher populations. :evil:
