I think that the war item on this rpg site should be on every nation and/or regions page for waging war against them as a button :sniper: :mp5:

Then wait until NationStates II comes out, and if you want to pay for it then you can play it. I think they're going to have a war waging system, so it'll make you happy. Personally, I prefer roleplaying.

I prefer freeform as well. If anyone here has played Hyperiums and been invaded, you'll see why I don't like the idea of a "War-button".

I agree with that, only it goes to the forums and the title is "War again -country name-!!!" and the post is a declaration of war with the names and all. That way it saves time and it seems authentic, and you can still rp. Or you can choose (i.e. the attacker chooses rp or the other way).

Plus it's not very fair on new people with small countries - they'll get invaded, their economies will be smashed up and they will definitely be pounded.

It doesn't happen in real life because declaring war is more than pressing a button and some calculations working out how stong your military force is compared to theirs. But large countries with strong economies and jerks as their rulers will start building their own little empires and basically, this world will be permanently at war.

In warring, on forums or on private posts, i belive it would have quite an impact on your economy and poplation, with so many nations now it would be hard for large countrys to target small countrys unless they're very active on the forums like myself, its not like theres a map and a button that says "Bomb Here."

Furthermore there is more to winning a war than just droping bombs and watching people die, if you've ever read into the histroy of some of Isreals wars, most of the time they come out a little on top expanding their own teritory little by little, with some good tactics, despite the fact that they have a small poplation and moderatly small phisical domain.

im currently 1216th in my region for being liberal. and quite down on the world scale.
