My Nations population is 1.916 Billion, can someone tell me roughly how long ago it was since my nation was created (i need to know, dont ask why it's a long story...).

There must be a general formula for working out how old your nation is by how big the population is...

Your country has been around for slightly less than a year. By population?

I dunno...

It involves your issue decisions, and stuff, so there is no "one size fits all" formula. For example, I founded Andaluciae and pax Germania within minutes of each other, yet pax is bigger. So, yeah.

wrong, issues DO NOT affect the population, and this is the wrong forum.

FOrum join date doesn't necassarily equal actual nations creation though. It took me a long time to get around to the forums.

I think you can't, because you don't get the same amount of people each day. Right?

Everyone's country grows at the same rate, unless you get the population bug, which I think has been removed now, but can affect older nations.

Issues do not affect it at all. [Edit: And the join date has nothing to with when you first used the forums, either.]

And yes, this is the wrong forum.

I think your forum join date is the same as your NS join date, as long as you give a valid e-mail when you create your nation.

Actually, I have also had the experience of seeing nations created on the same day with different populations who were NOT affected by the population bug. Check out the populations of Equus and The Bruce, two nations created by different people within an hour of each other. For the first little while, our population grew at exactly the same rate, but once the pop size starting increasing by more than one million per day, we started growing at different rates. To top it all off, sometimes one would be growing faster and be ahead, then the other would speed up and past them, back and forth for the last two years.
