Custom national titles yet?

11-10-2003, 23:24
I was wondering if this is back on the agenda yet, for nations with 500 Million plus population to be able to title their nation, such as The Crusader State of The Secret Pumpkin.

Please, I really want this extra goodie.

Thank you for letting me know. She had previously asked us to remind her now and then, so I just thought I'd check. So, what cool custom title would other players like to have?

I think that ought to be added to the begining-countries list. Another one for the begining-countries list is a blank. That is, no "title" at all. It's good enough for Ireland, Ukraine, Canada, and others! :)

thereis already enough Elitism in NS, 500 M is pleanty considering many nations die before tehy even reach 300 m,

perhaps a paragraph of description about your nation at 1 Billion, although the work dilter would have to be pretty strict so people dont type crazy stuf in their descriptions,
I would say the paragraph should be no more thatn 500 charcters though, that is pleanty,

or even at 1 billion, allow flag sizes of say 15K ad default out to a larger size, like 214X142 (2x normal size)

Don't make the limit 1 billion. That takes so long to get to. I've been around for four months - clearly a dedicated player - and I'm still not 1 billion yet.

Personally, I think that would be fun. I'm sure I could come up with a very nice title, hmmm....

See, you're thinking of only your own nation. My estimate (judging by the last population rankings, what ranks my nations were, and their size, now. Minus a rough estimate, as those who have disappeared) is that there are roughly 12,000 nations over 1 billion. Over 750 million? About 20,000. That's really quite a lot. And the number only grows. In fact, if anything, I'm now thinking the minimum *should* be 1.5 billion, despite the fact that I don't have any that have reached it (close, but not quite). There are only around 3,000 nations at that point.

And Hell, 500 million is just plain tiny. I'd say nearly half of NationStates has hit that.
Phoebos
18-10-2003, 15:36
From Salusa's Census Data:

Average Nation Size: 393.0641 Million
Median Nation Size: 257.5 Million

Now, given that the smallest a nation can be is 5 mil, and the largest nation is over 2.1 billion, the number of nations below the mean must far outweigh the number above, to make up for the fact that the positive outliers have a much greater deviation than the negative ones. So your estimate that almost half the nations are above 500 mil is way out, as the median value confirms.
Hadera
18-10-2003, 16:04
True. But that would still be a lot of nations with custom titles if the mark was 500 million. I'd prefer less than 5% of the nations having that opportunity. As was mentioned earlier, it would make it much more valued.

If you don't mind my asking, where exactly did you get that info?

I think you make some goods points, esp. about the extreme elitiscm that can run rampant. I wonder how many nations there are over 500 mill now.

Oh man, I cannot wait for this! This is going to be good. I'd like something akin to "The Confederated States of Parratoga" or maybe "The National Socialist State of Parratoga". And for my main nation, "The Hellish Regime of One Bad Asp" or maybe "The Plutocracy of One Bad Asp".

From Salusa's Census (Announcement at the top of technical)

I was gonna do some more maths on it, to try and work out a good value, but unfortunately I don't know what kind of distribution curve it gives. Maybe that's something I should suggest to Salusa...

Well, looking at post count one can get a false impression of someone's longeivity, therefor potnetially what they may know about the game.

Some one that just likes to talk may know less then their grand post count might indicate.
