Hi. Welcome to the game.

There is nothing in the site that works out your military. Everything is done through role play (RP). Read the stickies in the International Incidents and NationStates forums. They will explain a lot. Also, here are some handy threads to learn how to set up your military.

And finally, an economic calculator to help you determine what you can afford.

You can design your own units, use real life units, or by stuff from the various storefronts on this forum.

Feel free to telegram me any question you may have.

If you read the stickies and ask around you should find out how this game is played and how to not be called a n00b. People will usually be nice enough to tell you if something is unrealistic or comment on your spelling. You could always Telegram a veteran player to explain it too if you can't figure it out by the stickies or players who know just as much as you.

Up at the top of the forum are stickies, which you should read before jumping in, or at least scan this one:

Basically, this is text based role-play, so you don't see any of your stuff. You just say what you have and what you're doing with it. If it seems confusing, don't worry about it, as it takes some time to get used to, but the best way to figure it out is just to do it.

So a) read the stickies and b) study some RPs and get in on a few.

1. This goes in Gameplay, if i'm not mistaken
2. Post wisely. Nuking the heck out of everyone is impossible, because we are all equipped with the toughest T95000 Ignoreomatic shields.
3. Have fun

No, this is the correct forum for this sort of question.

What the Gameplay Forum is for, in a general sense


Talk about regional politics, and why llamas are a cooler national animal than squirrels.


Compiled from the ideas of Qaaolchoura and others at http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100826

The Gameplay Forum is neither another RP forum, nor a new Tech Forum, but rather, a forum for discussing puppets, parody nations, UN rankings, in-game empires, the issues surrounding region crashing, region hoppers, etc. That is to say a forum for those activities which exist in the NS World regional domain and are not truly role-play, but are semi-IC, and therefore fall into a sort of no-man's land between Technical, NationStates, Moderation, and General. A forum, essentially, for players of the NS World side of the game to discuss their technical maneuvres and the underlying politics.

The Gameplay Forum is therefore broadly for NS World issues, not Forum issues. This would include:

Discussion of in-game technical maneuvres and the underlying politics, more specifically:

Regional politics, inter-regional relations, rivalries and alliances.
Discussion of and responses to events in NS World, such as diplomatic crises, etc.
The merits, tactics and etiquette of region crashing and defending.

Regional publicity and PR, in the form of, but not necessarily limited to:

Region Directories / Recruitment.
Regional Forum / Website Directory.

Issues relating to nation and region configurations / customisable fields and ownership, such as:

Discussion of witty or apt comments for mottos and other customisable fields.
Showing off / discussing parody nations.
Descriptions / discussion of puppets and about others' puppets.
Description of non-RP-related national characteristics.
Flag Services.
Map Services.

Discussion of methods that people use to occupy their time in the Game.
Discussions about semi-IC themed regions.
Discussions about region hopping (not just Bunny, there are plenty of region hoppers with much smaller, more focused circuits).
Miscellaneous issues involving use of the NS World game engine.

But not forum-based role-play. If you have moved some UN nations into someone else's region and have assumed control, that belongs here. If you have sent some armoured divisions on their way to someone's nation's capital, that belongs in NS or II. This forum exists so that NS World players can have a semi-IC forum to themselves without RP, for which there are already two forums in existence.

And uh, AOL speak is illegal, punishment is public flogging.

As in, bad grammer in RP equals DESTRUCTION! Or people laugh and point...
And please, don't participate in a war until you're bigger, it's what I did, and I'm semi-famous! :D

Yeah, but I'm more famous because I get in wars.
