basically secondary nations. dundaine is your main nation and any other nations you create are basically considered puppets. [/explanationinanutshell] damn! you got in forst, i was meant to confuse him :)

they are like Muppets®
but without the ®

Your nations, other than the first one, are generally considered puppets of the first, such as autonomous regions, or colonies, that sort of thing. Sometimes they are different countries, but they would be so tightly bound to the other countries, that they may as well be a state of another.

Some people assign specific functions to their nations. For example, this nation of mine started off as the dedicated forum puppet of an otherwise unconnected older UN nation I used for the rest of the game. After it got Modified, I switched UN membership to it and this is now my main nation, the older one not really doing much at present, and actually being a puppet of this one. Thus what constitutes a puppet for an individual player can change with time.

From, in my Newness, A puppet is a nation controlled by you. People use them for things like intelligence or region population, etc. In my checking out of regions I was invited to, I have found people like the Jignostic States of Clownfish, who has puppets like the Jignostic States of Anglerfish and of the likes. They are just other nations that you control that have lesser purposes.

Tactical Grace, I also new someone who has let there other much older nation become a puppet to there much newer nation.

Puppets are often hard to define, for example, Parratoga has two nations, Parratoga is famous on the forums, and One Bad Asp in the game. She claims that Parratoga is the puppet, but must of us view it as her puppet.

Similarly, TG is not the only nation to have puppets larger than themselves. TROUSRS gave his first nation to Geforce4, and there was a period of "puppet selling" in which people ended up with puppets larger than they were.

No.

Puppets have many uses.

What is it with some people and their disdain for puppets? :?

No way - they're vital for many aspects of regional politicking. Puppets are how you spy on regions or simply just keep up with their daily affairs. It's also fun to flood regions with your puppets... lol

Er... lol Qaaol... you're too fast for me.

Then there are some people that uses puppets for experiments, like the amazing collection that Qaaolchoura has in a region called The UN...

Anyone knows any more interesting collections?

My collection in "Test"

The Realms of Rejection (this is more amazing just because it is a region composed entirely of puppets, several of them mine, including Xyaza)

nations of yours other than your main nation.

I dont know how Id get along without puppets. I mean if everyone knew that the nations theyre talking to were me, or indeed if everyone here knew who I really am . . . . well lets just say, the game would be a lot less fun for me at least.
:twisted:

you do realise you're making me very curious now, don't you? ;)

yep :wink:

Hmm. . .

Emperor Matthuis(sp?)?

And unless I'm schizophrenic, you're not me.

Who me? If thats what you mean, no. I only post on the forums with this nation (or siswaiaman)

Of course if I was really good, you could be a side of my personality that id managed to convince that it was totally independent. Or somewthing, that probbably makes very little sense. :oops:
