The Community of NS Forums is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its slow, buggy server. Its short-attention-spanned population of 128,601 are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt moderators devotes most of its attentions to Deleting Spam, although Fixing Technical Problems and Editing Issues are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A small private sector is led by the Role Playing, Imaginary Arms Trade, and Getting a Snack While Waiting on the Slow Forum industries.

The keyword search facility has been disabled, moderators may delete nations without giving any reason, scripts must conform to a new set of guidelines, and several citizens have had their passwords stolen while visiting neighboring forums. Spam -- especially porn-related -- is a major problem. NS Forums's national animal is the well role-played war, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread n00b infestation, and its currency is the post count.

NS Forums is ranked 1st in the region and 1st in the world for Least Reliable Discussion Board Server.

Amen. When a crack at the core of the NS machine amuses even the Mods, you know it's gotta be a good one.
