Well, a lot of people can't seem to figure out "Adam", so I tell them to call me "Andrew". In elementary school, only one teacher actually knew my real name, while the rest called me a variety of names from Andy to Alan, etc.

This one teacher in primary used to call me Suzanne instead of Susan, no matter how many times I told him. But it's not quite the same thing.

Alan, Andy, Andrew...God, how very annoying.

Okay, you pick 1 you want up there. The REAL one. And pick 1 account you want it under.

That set of details under the name of "The Democratic Republic Of The Tribes Of Longton". And they're both real, its just I did my mates too.

On another topic, is there any rule against owning more than one nationstate?

"I have more than one nation. Can they all join the UN?

No. You may only have one nation in the UN at any given time. To enforce this, UN member nations must supply an e-mail address."

You may have more than one nation, though only one can be in the UN.

*That was supposed to say Deist, not :Deist

Although now I get to decide how to delete people, which saddens me. :(

I think I'll put off that decision for awhile yet.

[QUOTE=Erastide]NS PLAYER PROFILES

Yet again, the NS Player Profiles have been updated.
2 threads in the past, 1 by Pilot and 1 by Soviet Democracy, have gathered player profiles together.

could u do the same for regions? apparently u have a better way of searching the data. see if u can get a feature added that allows us to skip to any page on the regions screen instead of clicking through them all. i've made it through about 600 and am not looking forward to skipping backward through the regions 3 pages at a time till i get to the point of where i was, in my quest for a home region. thx

Uh... did you pay attention to how this was created? People post. I add their info. This isn't related to the NS site at all really. You'd have to poke Salusa to do something like what you want and I believe it's been turned down before. The thought of creating links to every region and then trying to keep up with region creation/deletion scares me. :p

All righty. I have now deleted any nations that are no longer in existance. And there were quite a few. :( Current nation count is at 335.

There are a few I would like to list, so people may note their passing. Maybe some may come back (those that are able to). Otherwise I wish them well in their pursuits outside NS.

If you want to design a conspiracy theory around the profiles, you should pay closer attention. Either that or think long and hard about what this information could be used for in the wrong hands. :p

On a more interesting note (to me), I'm almost at 400 nations. :) And over 130 pages of a Word document. hehe

DHomme, you're my new hero. Except heroes are usually supposed to have knuckles... oh, and how do anarchy and communism work together? Just wondering.


Ah, true heroes dont need knuckles. Or a belt.

Anarcho-communism is one of the numerous variants of leftwing libertarianism. I believe the term 'communism' has been wrongly applied to the authoritarian left and so want to help take it back. Besides, true communism ends with no state machine therefore all communists are technically anarchists.

Anarcho-Communism, or Libertarian Communism, is a political ideology related to Libertarian socialism. However, the terms Anarcho-Communism and Libertarian Communism should not be considered synonyms for libertarian socialism. Anarcho-Communism is a particular branch of libertarian socialism.

Anarcho-Communism was first formulated in the Italian section of the First International, by Carlo Cafiero, Errico Malatesta, Andrea Costa and other ex-Mazzinian Republicans. Out of respect for Mikhail Bakunin, they did not make their differences from standard Anarchism explicit until after the latter's death. In 1876, at the Florence Conference of the Italian Federation of the International (which was actually held in a forest outside Florence, due to police activity), they declared the principles of Anarcho-Communism, beginning with:
"The Italian Federation considers the collective property of the products of labour as the necessary complement to the collectivist programme, the aid of all for the satisfaction of the needs of each being the only rule of production and consumption which corresponds to the principle of solidarity. The federal congress at Florence has eloquently demonstrated the opinion of the Italian International on this point..."

The above report was actually made in an article by Malatesta and Cafiero in the (Swiss) Jura Federation's bulletin later that year.

Anarcho-communism stresses the abolition of money and the introduction of the gift economy to facilitate the exchange of goods.

In anarcho-communism, profit no longer exists. Not only that, but goods are given away as gifts in the certainty that others will also give products back (in an industrial setting, this would occur between worker syndicates as well as between individuals). If one syndicate does not share their products, they will not receive resources from other syndicates, making it in their best interest to share.

Anarcho-communism also advocates the abolition of work in the sense of wage slavery, and recommends worker self management to improve working conditions, increase efficiency, and make working enjoyable.

For much of the 20th century, some countries were often called "communist states" by people living in other parts of the world. However those societies referred to themselves as socialist countries, and their ruling Communist Parties claimed to have established a socialist, democratic system, with the aim of eventually reaching communism. However, these countries were generally not seen as democratic by anyone except their leadership, and were not seen as socialistic by any (non-communist) socialists living outside their borders. In fact, most socialists strongly opposed them. Due to these reasons (as well as a number of others), the term "communist states" was used to refer to those countries.

Well, Fris. We are social creatures. We do tend to socialize. :)

haha. You read the Pic thread lately Fris? :p

haha. You read the Pic thread lately Fris? :p
I have. It's almost entirely unreadable, and should probably be de-stickied.

Up until about 40 totally spammy posts were added to this thread in the space of about 3 hours, this one was actually informative, interesting, useful, and apparently fairly accurate. I thought that was worth preserving for once, and two other mods agree with me. Thus the split.

Now can we drop this and get some more profiles added, please?
