NationStates Jolt Archive

The thread meant for NSG got me thinking. I think II should have a second renaissance thread for modern to future nations where the nations IC/OOCly discuss new philosphies, new technologies, ect, and whether or not it can happen in RL that way what's discussed here cannot be lab belled godmoding if applied to other threads. Thoughts?

Actually, I initially thought that the other thread was meant to be an IC thing (like their nation going through a renaissance of sorts), though the poll question quickly cleared that up.

This does sound interesting; for it to be the equivalent of a renaissance, though, I would think that the nations involved would have to be somewhat culturally akin to one another, connected as it were in some manner like that.

The real renaissance started in Italy which is one nation, the world followed. What we need is a really advanced nation to be the spark.

Well, that isn't entirely accurate. Italy at the time was completely fractured, and, though it sort of started there, the basis for it already existed. The west's, which was still somewhat bound together by its particular Christianity, among other matters, detachment from its classical history and culture during the early middle ages set the stage for its radical reintroduction to it. I can't very well go into an indepth examination of all of that right now, partially due to the fact that I have not really thought it all the way through, but you get the general point.

Well, this is modern/future based so all the nations that can qualify since all modern or futuristic nations in theory would be akin in that they believe in science and progress.
