My computer became infected with an unknown virus on Tuesday March 30. I was posting in the Canada off-site forum and cannot recall having the NationStates page open. When I logged in on Wednesday April 1 from my works computer, my population had decreased from 456 million to the base line of 5 million. Can any one offer me an explanation please?

DON'T PANIC

This is not related ot anything on your computer.

This is an emergency measure to deal with people who have gotten oversized populations because of a glitch called the "pop bug."
This way, the site admins can ensure no one has gotten ahead by exploiting this bug.

april fools!
