List of Wonders:

That's all for now. . .

Awesome job!

Thanks. I need tips though. What do I need to add? Anybody wanna take a shoot?

(OOC: Read the CIA World Factbook... Get some ideas.)

Very nice work. You may eventually want to add this to NS Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page).

:confused: NS Wiki?!? I can't really make much sense of it! But maybe I'll figure it out someday!

BTW, where's the CIA handbook?

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html

OOC:

The CIA factbook is an excellent resource, and good for getting some ideas for what a factbook should have. However, the factbook you have now (with a mixture of statistics and description) is much better for an online roleplaying game than just a reference sheet of statistics (which is what the CIA World Factbook is).

For suggestions, I'd say just add what you want to write. If you an idea you think is neat - put it in!

If I think of any other suggestions, I'll post them later.

Thanks serpent country.

Should I included that the citizens of Freetruth enjoy snake soup?!?

LOL!!! Just kidding!
