NationStates Jolt Archive

Greetings to whoever reads this! Salutes to the moderators and other people that make the NS game possible.

I have recently joined the wonderful community that is NS, read all the 'for newbie' threads on the forum, yet I have still have a few questions:

a) Is there a requirement that a nation has to purchase weapons before it can use them? Or can we make them out of thin-air as long as they're reasonably realistic (eg. obeys the laws of physics, chemistry and biology)?

b) Related to the above is there such a list of 'standardised' military weapons? Or is it free-development?

Regards,
Current President of JiangGuo

Since those are all RP matters, there isn't any official rule on them. It would depend on who you RP with.

I don't RP, so I can't tell you if there are any standards or widely accepted rules about it, but it really isn't a technical question since it doesn't have to do with how the game works. Asking people efore you RP with them (or just asking in the NS forum) would almost certainly get you a better response.
