Hi I know Im a newbie or whatever you want to call it but I have a few simple questions.

Is there a web page I can go to to help me get started with buying weapons and managing economy? I see the people on these forums talking about wiring money to eachother but how is the money you have calculated? How do you buy weapons and calculate how many troops you have? How do you play this form of NS in general???

Thanks to anyone who can answer this, Ive never done anything like this before and I dont know where to start. Do I need to register somewhere or something? And then how do I equip my armies and modernise my troops and such?

Anyway if anyoen can answer any of these questions for me I will be greatly obliged to them. Thank you.

Here are some good calculators for your nation. As for military and weapons, it is just RolePlay. Just a bit common sense should be enough. Just pretend that it is a real nation. You can't spend to much on military, or your nation's roleplay will not be credible. 6% of your total GNP should be reasonable for your spendings on military.

Thanks a lot for that, helped me quite a bit. Nice to see someone willing to help a newbie lol. Thanks again.

By the way Ive got another stupid question coming up here. When people say they are wiring money to people for weapons and such is that just RP or is that an application?

Here are a couple of topics that will answer most, if not all of your questions:

Money is roleplay only. There is no mechanism.

I know of some NS related off-site forums who have some sort of a monetary system, with shops and such.

Once again I'm indebted to you all. I havnt read the links yet but Im sure they'll help. Thanks.
