How does that work, how does one nation suddenly cease to exist. Is it due to the lack of activeness or what?
Anyone who knows plz reply

Usually lack of login at Nationstates.net (forum does not count as a log in). The Mods can raise the dead though (one of their amazing powers).

Now if was due to a DEAT, that was the wrath of Mod itself.

DEAT? wat that stand for, i am still relatively new to this

"DEAT" is a slang term coined by retired moderator Neutered Sputniks. It's a typo of "dead" that evolved to mean "delete" ("DEAT that guy!") or "dead" ("He is DEAT")

That help? =)

This bird is no more, it has ceased to be.

Do any of us really exist anyway?

This is an ex-nation? Err, parrot?

I have an old nation that i left unused while travelling once, and returned to find it gone... with this news I discover that there is a chance my beloved nation of Alstonville may once again rise from the ashes and return to her former glory.

Pray tell...how does one accomplish this task?????

Simple, put in a request through the getting help page (linked off of NationStates) or put a thread in Moderation and the Mods shall work their mighty arts and restore the nation.

How do I say this...

I could quote Katganistans Nation Restoration Haiku :

Thread rezz requests fall
Silently, as in vacuum
Ask on G.H.P.

...or simply quote this:
4. Nation Revival Requests
-All requests to revive your old nations that have died of inactivity must be submitted to the Getting Help Page. If you post it in the forums, someone is going to post a link to the GHP and let you know that you need to put it in there anyways. Also, we do not need your password. All you need to do is say "Please revive "AnyNation". A thank you would be appreciated too.
Note: If your nation was deleted for rule-breaking, it will not be restored.
Another Note: If your nation ceased to exist, and was created before the restriction on nation names was implemented (Wanking Baboons), we aren't going to revive it. This would be seen as making exceptions for certain players by reviving it, and letting it live.

Ah, all the strange things one stumbles upon if one bothers to go looking through the rules...

Strange and womderful. *nods*

Now there's the real question, Big Jim P. How do we know we're not just the figments of the Mods? And how do we know the Mods aren't just the figments of Max Barry's imagination?

More: how do we know Max Barry isn't also the figment of someone else's imagination? Perhaps ours? That would make everything here: us, the Mods, and Max, a circle of imagination -- like the snake, eating its own tail.

And most of all, what if the "here" in which we're wondering whether or not we exist, doesn't actually exist itself? And what if the "now" in which we're wondering whether or not we exist, also doesn't actually exist? What if there is no "here" or "now" in which to exist? And what if we exist anyway, just not in any "here" or "now" (which as I've suggested, might not exist themselves)?

In that case, we might exist in some sense we have no way of comprehending: existence without a locus in space-time! Oh no! :p

Look: I made somebody think. Oh No!:D

Or we seem to exist because we have no way of comprehending our own non-existance.

You did. And on a Monday, too. And before coffee! You're evil, and I hate you!

I know I'm evil. Comes with the territory. Today is my Saturday. Sorry you hate me. Since we don't exist, I'll not let it bother me though.

Ah! Of course! What was(n't) I thinking? Must be all this not-existing, interfering with my ratiocination. And since I don't exist, I probably don't hate you either.

Afterthought: I (if I exist) can see how my Monday (if it exists) can be your Sunday (if it exists), but how can it be your Saturday (if it exists)? This suggests something even more radical about the exact nature of the (non-)existence of space-time than I (if I exist) originally contemplated.

A you ze, my friend, to exzeest is but to leeeve, to leeeve, eez but to exzeeest.


C'est Le Vie, non?

The headache I got trying to read that most certainly exists.:D

AHA! Sorry, I mean, "EUREKA!" We've made an existential discovery of ontological significance! With apologies to Thales, I now declare, "Headaches are the cause of all things."

Let me repeat that in an appropriately portentious tone:

Headaches are the cause of all things.

There, my life's work is complete.
