NationStates Jolt Archive

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.

[violet] will be getting on to that after the interface for issue editing has been finished.

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 dunno, I like the Republic of Aquilla, even tho i'm the emperor

I want The Militarist Nation of Langham. That's be a cool name.

United City States for me, and for some of my puppets-
Independent Territories, Oligarchy, Royal Empire...

I'm happy enough with Peoples Republic, actually. Can't think of anytihng else I'd want more.

Pfft!

The United Kingdom of Peng-Pau!

Because, a), it's Patriotic, and b), PP is two kingdoms united... :P

The Dark Republic of Kandarin. It's not that we're evil, but we're underground and the public lighting budget just got eliminated.

Still waiting for Crusader State, but all things take time.

I want "Socialist Republic", but I'm nowhere near 500 million pop. :(

the ones there are now *would* suffice for my country *for now* but I WOULD want to change something for my puppet .... too bad it isn't anywhere near 500 million yet :(

They should make it 1 billion for the minimum population! This would make it so much more valued.

Good point, but me got two nations around 1.5 billion.

The Brutal Militaristic Regime of Dark Terror....

Huh.
The Cannibalistic Peoples of Ouea.
Mmm... "People, the other dark meat."

The Armed Dominion of Dregruk. I like Dominion. And we're armed. It works.

The I n00kzors j00 dominion of TROSURS

The Gigantic Prison of Falastur :D

I have yet to become an Imperial Republic®

(registered nation title of philopolis)

mine would be the administrated fiefdom of petsburg

The Liberal Unitary Republic of Goobergunchia

Still Waiting?

Should be in before too long.

I wanna be The Forgotten Nation of Soviet Trasa

We are happy with the name of the most august State which We are:

The Most Serene Republic of the Guardians of Arcana.

We are a most peaceful nation-state, and only recently have We allowed the outside world become aware of Our existance.

The Socializt Republik of the KoRT Sovjet

The Drag-Queendom of...

"The State of". That's a simple one. Or perhaps "The Independent States of", or anything else I can think of at a whim.

The Sexual Revolution of Lebanon Catfish
The Erotic Theatre of
The Hell Known As

"The State of". That's a simple one. Or perhaps "The Independent States of", or anything else I can think of at a whim.

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! :)

Blank isn't going to happen, even under custom names.

I want it to be "The Apartheistic God's Dictatorship of EugeneTerre Blanche". 8)

My region already has the Apartheid system 8)

You mean the Republic of Ireland and the Dominion of Canada?

I'm sorry to say something so off topic but I'm very happy(for some reason I get bothered when I can half remember things but not all the way) because I was just logged out and I remembere my nations original password. :}

Anyways,on topic, I'm not exactly sure what I should use for a prefix,maybe the Metallic(c) Republic of NuMetal

Metallicac?

Slightly off topic but related...I see Sirocco and TG have finally gotten their titles.

Whoops :oops: the (c) is for copyright and I meant Metallic I just automatically add the 'A'

I want "Socialist Republic", but I'm nowhere near 500 million pop. :(At 500 million does one get to chose their own title or something? Cause I have a nation that I made in April that was deleted, and I put in a request to get it ressurected....so that'd be awesome

Hopefully soon we will be able to.

gotcha. I'll keep waiting then

Yeah,the mod tasklist is a bit behind at the moment I think

gotcha. I'll keep waiting thenYou sent in a request for resurrection right? Never mind, you said you did. Yeah, just wait. The mods have a long "to do" list.

I did. There wasn't a specific catagory for it on the getting help page, so I used the "Other: response to moderator" catagory....seemed most logical.

Aw man...I just remembered....I had a nation that I started back in mid-december, 2002. I should get that one ressurected.

Do you remember the password? Or have your email address in it

I know the password and the e-mail address I used

Thats good :)

mwahahahaha! I'll have about 1.7 billion people or something like that! I'ma do it!

You don't gain pop for the time you were dead.

mwahahahaha! I'll have about 1.7 billion people or something like that! I'ma do it!

An April nation wouldnt have 1.7 billion peeps. The nation will be in the same state as you left it, so no pop gain

The Democratic Communist State of RedCommunist

I would gladly be "The McCarthyist State of West Jayhawk."

Oh foo.

May I ask why not? Is there some technical whatsis that prevents it?

"The State of". That's a simple one. Or perhaps "The Independent States of", or anything else I can think of at a whim.

Neither of those names have been the official names for a couple of decades. ;)

Custom titles a must!

They should make it 1 billion for the minimum population! This would make it so much more valued.

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)

I want to be:

The Most Holy Principality of Roania

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....

The Anarchic Villages of Zincite

Pfaugh. One billion is a good mark, I think. Not hard to get to, at all. Hell, I have 11 nations over that mark, 3 more within a couple weeks.

The Grand Empire of Imerial Forces.
The Rleam of Imperial Forces
Look, only 5 extra letters!

Or:

The n00b that everyone ignores because they hate me otherwise known as Imperial Forces ._.

And a Billion is a good mark, not that hard to reach and you won't be overcrowded with other people using it *mainly n00bs*

I think 750 mil...

And

The Red Moon of Phoebos

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.

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.

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".

oo

The Holy Dominion of Diminix

I remember Grunge-France had a customized nation dexcription for a while...

The Invader States of Nothingg 8)

I like the 1B level better than 500. Elitism is already rampant, what's a bit more? I'd also like to see some better indication of population in the forum other than the creation date. Post-whores can show off their number, but it's not necessarily the indication of a dedicated or skillful player.

Gt point Nott.

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...

What does creation date have too do with post count? :?

1billion is too much. I think 750million would be a good size - let's compromise ;)

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.
