Feature Request - Permanent Policies

I would like the ability to implement something of a 'permanent policy' in my nation.

Basically what I mean by that is to be able to flag one (or two) bits of my nations description as something I want to keep, as opposed to something I want in my description only for the two or three days until it gets pushed out by more recent issues.

Admittedly, not all of the bits of color text would be appropriate for this as some of the bits seem to be created by a combination of factors and not the result of a single policy/issue decision.

Others, however, such as 'citizens drive vehicles with grenade-launchers mounted upon them' are clearly the result of a single issue that has come up and been voted upon and these are the bits of national flavor that would be nice to be able to keep from week to week.

While front-end'wise this would be a relatively simple radial selection of which piece of descriptive flavor is to be kept / inacted as a more permanent policy, I can't imagine how complex this would be to handle on the server's back-end.

I suck at server programming so yeah. What I suggest is that each day you copy whatever is new in the nation description and put it in a Text File. Then when you have the time, create a Wiki for your nation and make a section with laws and other such things where you can copy those descriptions into it.

That way you have a record of what you've done, and others can see it too.

I'm just trying to figure out how to make a forum for my region.:confused:

How would I do that, or who do I need to talk to?

try http://invisionfree.com or one of the other free forum providers. NationStates doesn't provide one for regions.
