NationStates Jolt Archive

I've been on this site before and tried to make heads or tails of it and I can't. It looks fun, but I don't understand it. Can someone just write up a quick description of how to use this thing? If I wasn't supposed to post this here, sorry. I am just confused.

Well... it's a sim-nation, I guess. You are the leader of your own nation. You get 'issues' from time to time (you can change how often), which affect your three statistics (Civil Rights, Economy, Political Freedoms) as well as your nation's description. Over time your nation grows larger, and you just form it in whatever mold you like.

Mind you, the game takes a somewhat (purposely) skewed political viewpoint. But it's all in good humour.

Do i need to attack or can i wait to attack and how do i build my nation.

You don't want to do any attacking here because you'll be laughed out of here. Try the International Incidents forum and nose around for a while before jumping straight into the rp-ing. You can pick it up pretty quickly from what I understand.

You do not have to attack, better if you don't attack at all, study then do. Read the stickies, and if you wanna build your nation answer the issues.

I'll read the stikies and see if I can make more sense. I can see some out of this topic.

Well, welcome to NS, try not to get addicted.
