NationStates Jolt Archive

Maybe this would be a bit to ambitious, but instead of ONLY Issues and U.N. Classification affecting your economy, data from RP-trade should be noted. I've made a major oil deal and that really would put my economy up high. But of course offically I'm still "Struggling." Just a thought. What do you think?

It sounds like it would be far too complicated to code in, as well as being unfair to people who don't RP.

Yeah... But I am sure something like that would be apart of Nationstates 2.... if that does ever get off the ground. (Check out the NS2 forum)

FAQ:

How do I go to war against another nation? Or trade?

In one sense, you can't. NationStates doesn't include these things -- because it's a simple game, and because they would bias things in favor of militaristic and capitalist nations. One of the nice things about NationStates is that you can craft a nation into your idea of Utopia without having to worry about such pragmatic concerns as national defence.

Into the breach, however, steps the NationStates community, which has independently devised an entire system covering war, trade, and just about anything else you can think of. This takes place entirely on the forums (mostly in International Incidents), and is role-played.

Many people have asked about the possibility of a more sophisticated version of NationStates, with trade, military conflicts, and more. This does sound cool, but I haven't decided yet if I want to do that. It would be a lot of work, and I'd have to charge people to play it. But it's possible.

Just RP a better economy.
