Righto i might be doing this wrong but i need to ask a few questions :)

kk, ive just created my account today so yes i am the new blood :P hehe and my questions relate to the main part and things ive seen in the forums.

1. How does my country actually work?

i mean how does my population increase or how do i expand my terrority lol this must sound really stupid

2. Ive seen people design their own tanks and things so do this mean i can create my own ships, planes, tanks, uniforms?

well in detail off course, just want to know becasue i have an over-active imagination and i love graphics and stuff like that ^^

3. Can the flag upload size be upgraded in anyway?

The population increases over time, as you make choices on the issues you are given. There isn't really a 'territory' as such, at least not in the main game.

This is a something that the role players do, in the International Incidents forum. I've never posted in there, so I can't help you that much - all I'd suggest is that you read the forum stickies and observe what goes on for a little while. Then, when you feel ready to join in, I'm sure you'll be able to find some friendly faces willing to help you settle in.

3. Can the flag upload size be upgraded in anyway?

I don't think that the flag size can be changed. What you should do is reduce the file size of your flag; then you should be able to keep the detail, but still get it to fit.

I hope that helps. I'm sure other people will be able to post more detailed answers for you, but that's a general overview. Enjoy the game. :)

Thank you ^^, think i better start readin ^^ lol

Some people are good and can design their own. Although a good majority of people purchase ships, military eqipment, and aircraft from storefronts. They are littered across the International Incidents forum, you just gotta search for them.

Also, most people don't use Smilies in posts, people tend to ignore you if you do that. Just mentioning that for ya.

Also, to add to my previous post. Before RPing or doing any sort of discussions, i'd read a few threads, and I've listed the main ones, there are others but I think these are the most important.

The One-Stop Rules Shop (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=416023) -- The rules for both the NationStates web site, and the forums. Familiarize yourself with them as soon as you can, they'll save you from any problems down the road, and will help you to report any rulebreakers to The Moderation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1231).

[Moderated Status] Why aren't my posts appearing? (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=511850) -- A thread that mentions why if you post, that pesky "Moderated" thing comes up and won't let your post appear. It's an issue with the latest update to the forum software.

International Incidents Consolidation Sticky (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=437653) -- Some helpful information about the International Incidents section of the NationStates forums. Not really required reading but it'll help you to enhance your RPing experience.

II Seperate Rulings Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=443725) -- Some rulings about a few specific things in the International Incidents forum. I'd read it just to know what's going on.

The Euroslavia Series of Helpful Hints (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=408855) -- Some really good hints (FAQ's) from NationStates' very own Euroslavia. A lot of information there to help a newcommer to the game. I just wish it was there when I joined a few years ago...



Thats about it for what I think is the most important. You can find other threads that are helpful if you dig far enough.

Happy RPing.

The population increases over time, as you make choices on the issues you are given.
No, issues do not affect population growth. The population goes up after the update.

Thx all so much, need to start alot of reading b4 i start RPing again.

No, issues do not affect population growth. The population goes up after the update.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone said I was wrong about something. :p

Ah well, Payal. I tried my best. I hope the rest of what I said was helpful.

Actually

Population growth does only happen after an update. But it isn't at a set pace. It can vary between 5 Million and 9 Million (i think those are correct, someone else better can fix that). I know this cause I have 3 puppet nations that I made on the same day, within 20 minutes of eachother, and they all are not the same population. Some are anywhere from 0.2 Billion to 0.6 Billion difference.

Pop growth is 1-2 million for... a week? Then 5-8 million per day, as long as your nation is in existence. It averages out to roughly 6 millionish a day.

Also, while you can't expand your territory, you can found a new region or become delegate of your current one and thereby control a decent sized chunk of NS.

That sounds about what I was about to day.
