Suggestion: Nation Capitals
I think that a cool feature to have would be to be able to choose, along with a currency and an animal, a national capital. It's effects wouldn't be too great, perhaps nothing more than a mentioning in future issues (the currency and animal already get mentioned), and a blurb in the country description. Still, it is a novel idea that would allow for further customization, with a minimal amount of effort.
What do you think?
Think it's a vaguely nice idea, but it ain't gonna happen. Been suggested before, and the simple answer is that it isn't going to be coded.
It might be a feature in NS2

I suggested such a thing myself (using a nation now unfortunately deleted) some time ago. Generally speaking, customization is a good thing - I for one am fed up with having a population consisting entirely of humans, having always preferred watermelons - but all such things are apparently bound, as said above, to wait for NS2. There was a sticky once (I haven't played this game for no more than several months, half an year at best. In game time, this means that umpteen empires have risen and fallen, that civilizations turned to rabble and rabble ran for congress, and that the dinosaurs are, in all likelihood, back) containing a list of all capitals. You might want to look it up.

I'd have to agree with the first two posts. It might happen in NS2, but doubtfully in Nation States...er...the original.
However, in International incidents, as well as elsewhere, there are many posts/stickies that describe such things as:
Nation Leaders
National Currency Exchange Rates
As well as others. I'm sure somewhere there is a list of Nation capitals. If not...well...I dont know, maybe I'll start making one. It's a great idea, by the way, but just probably isn't going to happen untill nation states two (and not because of our administrators, their good people, i'd just be too hard).

this could actually be a good modification to the game,
perhaps it could be added to teh end like how money and national animal are.

Yeas, national capitals, leaders, and languages would be marvelous, and can't be that hard. But that would be one more reason not to pay for NS2, as the Mods have said the many times that it was proposed before.

Honestly I still stand by the if you make NS2 and make it pay to play, it will die,I have played several online games and as soon as they decided to go pay to play, they died, for example, Phantasy Star Online , when it debuted, it was near the end of teh Dreamcast life, and it had a million unique users each day, and sold like hotcakes, then Sega decided to make version 2 pay to play, and even before it was released, boom, half of the users quit playing, even though the free version was still online, even teh G^3 version and X box version have no where near the number of users,
I still say the only way it will make money is if Max adds a online store, a simple tastful perview banner ad system, like one for his publisher (with the preexisting NO Popups clause) and perhaps a voluntary pay pal thing, then it might be ok, I dont want to see this game killed due to greed, it is too fun, and well teh fun is 85% Player generated.
I proposed NationStates Capitals and National Leaders, but my proposition was ignored :roll:

Because it gets suggested virtually daily since the beggining of time.

In the Middle East we list capitals on our regional map, it would be cool to have it in game though...

If you can't see it go to http://groups.msn.com/nationstatesasiaregion
Maps would mean more load for the forum to handle.
