Re-aquaint yourself with the wayback machine at The Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org)
I had a look at Nationstates v 1.7 apparently the earliest NS page included in the archives. Can you believe that nation count?
That's cool! I'm spending my time looking up the defunct dotcoms (Webvan, pets.com) and Enron.
Talk about a blast from the past...972 nations. They could show all of the pages! It soared to over 3,000 a week later.

The cool and ironic search for Enron is to click on their employee benefits package.. talk about unfulfilled promises.

Looking at all that stuff, with it's promises of unlimited growth and the new economy is rather amusing, especially when it came crashing down.
I love this...I found it on the day of NASDAQ 5,048.62:
``We'll have corrections,'' said Battipaglia, noting that Nasdaq twice dropped 10 percent from its highs in January. ``But they'll be short and quick and we'll rebound and go higher.''
It ended the year at around 2,500.

Your find put a smile on my face Vetalia. The NASDAQ prediction is in the same category as "We'll have peace in our time"

I can't help it...the craziness of that time is amazing. That's why it's so funny though. :D
