If you could add any one feature to this game, what would it be?

I would make it so you could actually start wars with people and form allies by clicking a button or shit, as opposed to doing it only on a rp basis.

What about you guys?

I think war would actually detract a great deal from the game. It would mean that when I ran my mouth, I'd actually have to back it up.

It'd be cool if they sent me a check every month for posting on the forums. That would be a great new feature.

Better integration between RP and game (such as issues). For my main country, the main industry is listed as automobile manufacturing but it has often been listed as book publishing. If the RP persona were integrated in, shipbuilding would be far and away the most dominant industry in that country.

I'd say stuff like having the ability to save TGs you SENT, but that would defeat the purpose of this thread, wouldn't it?

I think war would be good. Especially if it actually affected the game. Also being able to say screw the suggestions I get in issues I'm making up my own government stand would be nice too. That way you would not be stuck making rediculious decisions and ignoring the issues.

Ok, so let's say that Nation States 2 is out, but you have to pay $10 (£5) every month to be a member. Assuming there are about 100 000 members of the site, that would equate to the site gaining $1 000 000 (£500 000) per month, equating to $24 000 000 (£12 000 000) per year...

So with the site making that much money, what must this game have before you will even consider signing up and paying the $10/£5 a month?

Be sensible or creative - go nuts!

But for me, it would have to be more 3D, more interactive, more possibilities.

What about you guys?

No site carries over all of its members. 10,000 if you're lucky. 1,000 if you're not.

I agree that war would ruin this game, I'm still a bit of a newbie, and working my way around it, but so far it all seems good, like a sim-city type, but with actual power over policies.

One thing I would like to see is that you could make alliances with nations, and be able to place embassys in places, me and my mate (Freedonia_Oz) have verbally agreed to have embassys in our respective nations. But it would be cool to actually be able to do that.

Also write some of your own policies if you want to be abit stupid, like say that once a day the nation should resite your moto whilst hopping on one leg, or somthing like that.

As I 'dont know a lot about the game at the mo, im gonna see what unfolds then make more valid opinions.

War would be good, provided it couldn't actually wipe out your entire country. If it could, some well established players would just instantly kill off all the new people before they got going

Fine, so assuming 10 000 pay up.

that's $100 000 (£50 000) a month. That's $1 200 000 (£600 000) a year

Happy? Wingy sod... :mad:

lol

every time your per-capita GDP increases, you hear (upon logging in) "cha-ching", as in the cash-register sound.

Extra realism:

Upon signup, you are given an army! And nukes! And a large number of slaves to be your population!

Given the rate of population and economic growth, superpowers would pop up like mushrooms! And given the amount of crazies, the world would get a lot more "interesting"!

Sign my petition today! This is not only because I want nukes, dammit!
