Praetor.

Only 10.675 billion people. I'm at 8.999 billion.

Praetor.
No, it's Last Hope. Praetor has the highest population, but he's not the oldest nation still alive.

...

How does that work? I thought you gained population every day no matter what.

...

Is it dependent on issues answered?

I think there was a "population bug" that caused some nations, including Praetor, to gain population faster than normal.

There was a bug that caused certain nations' populations to grow at a much faster rate. Praetor, I think, was the oldest nation affected by this.

For crying out loud, hasn't this myth been busted yet?

Issues have absolutely no effect on population growth whatsoever.

My nation has 6 billion plus and seems to sort have stalled at this point.

I often wonder what would happen though if I went to the RP bit and was all like "Lacadaemon invades tiny country".

Ha, we should look for all six billion plus generalites and go and invade the role players bit.

I've never played that bit either, but I hear they take the population thing very seriously.

I have this nation and two puppets, one of which I made only an hour after this one, yet the one with the largest population keeps on changing and for a very long time it was the puppet, then this one, now it is once again the puppet. I think it is just random growth rates, some nations are just lucky and some unlucky.

I've had that too. My #2 & #3 nations were created within a few days of each other, and they've passed each other several times. Currently, my original #3 nation has a fair lead over the other one.

I think if you let your nation die and then have it ressurrected then the days when your nation was dead are considered nonexistant.

Okay, I'm almost at 10 billion. Too bad my economy is imploded and there's like no way to get it up. Otherwise I'd be totally in to invade the RP forums :D

Anyway, I was wondering how many nations are still order than me (and never were deleted for inactivity or other reasons) :)

the last 2 sentences mean:

The oldest surviving, I will happy to.

The one that is't, will shoot. (no, I won't shoot the other one(s).)

Anyway I thought it was pretty obvious Swilatia.
