How do I tell how much money I have, and can someone help me create an RP something for my nation?
Well, what have you decided about your nation? Is it advanced technologically or stuck with 1990's gear? Is it a dictatorship or a democracy? Is it rich or poor, large or small? What kind of geography does it have? Have you based your nation on anything, such as nations in your favorite TV show, a nation based off your personal ideas, or something you read in a dystopian Orwellian novel? There are an infinite number of ideas to choose from.

Your economy:

Factbooks aren't hard. Just invent a landmass (prefferably bordering another NS nation you know in a region you plan on keeping your nation in).

Then get yourself a military.

You don't need to buy RL weapons, but there are many storefronts that will give you an idea of how much it would cost you to get them.

But keep in mind, RL weapons don't hold up too well in an NS war.

When your economy hits 'above average' or better, you might consider designing your own stuff, but feel free to get stuff 'off the shelf'.

Thanks all, but what on that website is how much money i CURRENTLY have?
is it the GDP or what?
How do I buy things?
And ive got all the nations terrain and stuff in my head, but i dont know how to
post my nations geography. Should i make a map or what?

The figures on those sites are generally regarded as yearly budget. God only knows how long a year is in RPs here, but as long as you keep your purchasing within the limits there as far as everyone knows, you're in the clear.

To buy things, just post in a storefront thread and ask to buy something. There's nothing to keep track of your available funds, so as long as you keep your purchases to a reasonable amount, you're good.

Feel free to make a map, in Paint, using a fractal mapping program, etc. Might be a good idea to post a factbook thread for your nation, with information on your countries history, culture, military, geography, etc.

How i make factbook entry :confused:

Teaches you :p

How i make factbook entry :confused:

Easy way:

Post new thread, title it

"Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Factbook

Replace Xs with country name

Make a few posts as quickly as possable
Standard format:

Index (1)
Geograpy (1)
History (2)
Political (2)
Military (3)
Economy (1)
Embassy (1)

Once you have those posts made, fill in the details using "Edit"
Index should link to all other posts you have made in that thread.

Geography may carry a map, but is not required. Just explain it the best you can.

History may carry links to RPs you became involved in that affected your nation

Political: News updates, leaders in/out of office etc. IC reasons on OOC behavior (as in why you nation didn't do anything for a month when you went on vacation)

Military: Post what weapons you have, and your units here, this may take a few posts...

Economy: What kind of labor do you use, take your favorite comments from NS and paste them here.

Embassy: Time to start getting friends

Speak for yourself. My infantry still use the Israeli TAR-21 assault rifle, and I still use lots of Merkava IV tanks. They hold up fine.

I could swear I sold you DPRs (or perhaps just a very large shipment) of M22 HVARs... ;)

You say you want an RP? Can I invade you for oil?

You and your oil...

A rush on such a weak country would surely get the GASN's attention...

And the rest of NS...

And I resign from the Corporate Alliance, there is too much coruption in there...

This is kind of what I do. The GASN is weak and crumbling. Noone attempted to stop my assault and subjugation of Merandos oil fields, nor does it seem people will assist Kamasha nor Achmara.

And the CA is soo not corrupt.

Yes, it is, I've been in it.

And if the Global Alliance of Soveriegn Nations is weak, what does that make the Corprate Alliance?

All your group has done so far is just mob rush small island nations such as Khornate Tribes (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=494171) in order to get the GASN's attention

And you used Nukes against tribesmen armed with spears!.
And not just one, but 15 Kilotons on a landmass the size of Denmark...
The Thunderers launched from the carrier, heading out on their mission of slaughter, their pilots ready to drop their lethal payloads on their targets. It was this sort of a battle that made a True Undershi smile - they would be nuking a bunch of tribesmen who had nothing heavier than some mortars. This would be both fun and easy...

I did not give a go ahead for a nuclear strike. That was way out of line, I'll admit it. But can you judge an entire alliance on the bad doings of one nation?

The GASN ended up getting battered for the actions of Hataria and West Corinthia...
I share no such sympathy.

You, as leader of CA, should be able to keep your members in line.

This is going off topic, which thread shall this be futher discussed in?

GASN or CA thread?

No, go to the middle east for that

We can take it to the CA thread if you want

Last link tells you how it works.

But try not to make redundant systems that already exist in other storefronts.

As that would make NS very confusing if every nation had their own namenculture for their weapons systems.

"I attack you with my A-6"
"I counter with EMP type ECM munitions"
"That won't work"
"Why? What is it? A plane, missile, tank or artillery?"
"It is a designation for a bio weapon"
"I hate you"

Hey, HT, care for a war?

Are the Undashi involved?

I'm mostly ready to fight the CA, I'm just not sure if the rest of the GASN are OOCly ready yet.

NVM, sorry, TWSP took it. I do hope we can fight soon though, it would be good fun.

I mean, how do i create weapons of my own, and make it "official" without making a storefront?

[OOC: Make a reference thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=461297). As simple as that. And HT, the last link I provided was also intended to be a lesson, especially the tenth point made by The Freethinkers, a very well respected NationStates naval designer. Also, if you have any designs, post them here on The NS Draftroom (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php).]

Got banned from draftroom, so I'll be a little "behind the times":

Partly because of my views on the use of tactical nuclear weapons to defeat a technologically infirior group of people. And the resault posts I made which were always off topic to someone since it started with the concept of nuking a country they invaded and then themselves.

Both of which I tried to point out is going to equate to shooting yourself in the foot, no matter what.
---
But I think the last straw was when I started defending the case that horses are a viable weapon in modern conflicts.
---
The other 'strike' was when I tried coming up with ways to defeat a Super heavy Battle Tank without using Super Heavy Battle Tanks.
---------
Coincedentally, I have been involved in RPs that ontained the above:
Nuking terrorists and allies: killed the RP, so I left the CA since they really don't care about 'friendly fire'

Horses: Used them in Chitzeland, Vietnamexico, New Roanoke, all my embassies, among other places, they work pretty well.

SHBTs: "small(er) tank" and TD spamming and tank killer teams, also in Chitzeland, Pelsgord in particular.
----------
Most of which was already RPed before I was banned, and was cited in a few of the debates. This was discredited because "it wasn't used properly".
-----
I am citing this entirely from memory, so I might be a little off on the "official" reason for banning. Since banning prevents you from even viewing the forum, and I have still not recieved anything directly informing me that I have been banned, or why.

Refferance threads work very good, and are normally incorporated in Factbook entries on NS.
Draftrooms are best for designing stuff and working the bugs out.

For those who get kicked out of the draftroom, well. Take an idea, ask someone if it'll work, and if it does then you RP with it. Through the RP point out OOCly that it is untested and you would like to know of potential flaws.
Next batch for next RP, fix the bigger or easier to fix flaws, reasign a modification number.
Repeat until perfected

I'm up to the CM-26 Squad Automtic Weapon, my replacement for both my Light Machine guns and assault rifles...
I also noticed that the HT-101 (a draftroom approved IFV) had more power and could easily take a beefier suspension, so I lowered the hull and strapped on an autoloading 125 mm long gun...

I registered for the NS draftroom, but i always notice one thing with forums like that that you cant post unless the admin approves. I signed up for a forum a loooooooooooooooong time ago, and i know its an active one, and the admin still has yet to approve me.
also.... HAM!!!!!
