To think that I created this puppet 27 days ago and never logged on, only to have it suddenly end of first in the world for PF.
First time one of my puppets has ever dominated one of the puppet rankings at first in the world.
Now if you'll exscuse me, I'm going to gloat over this victory before the next PF ranking, when a new wave of puppets hoves me down. :P :twisted:

No clue. The ones that I tried to get on the first page all are around the 50-100 range.
What I do know is fairly common knowledege, but I ain't tellin'

Answering the initial questions in a particular way will create a nation with an Anarchy rating, by default having an extremely high level of political freedoms. The moment you start doing issues, the level begins to drop. If you log out the moment you create it, you will be ranked highly at the next UN ranking for that variable, outperforming many much older Anarchy-class nations. Hence, a chance of getting a top spot seemingly out of proportion to your nation's age.
My understanding, anyway.
That's right, and TG, I have heard your rant on this, but honestly... being on the first page fecking rocks.
With my main nation, as old as it is, and as hard as I've tried, I've never gotten higher than 232nd in the world. It does bite, but hey... being 7th is fun.
And this time around, I got the fun cute little influx of telegrams :)

And along with the "Most Liberal" anking, it is the only way to start out high.
I'd kill to get my main nation even in the four digit range. But being first is even better.
The only funny telegrams are the flames.
I got two, one 18 days old, the other:

If fairly earned, of course it would. I am looking forward to getting into the top 1,000 for a number of rankings in the coming month or so. But getting a new puppet up there, it just isn't the same.

Yeah, pretty much. I've got a puppet in the top ten, and I've had that puppet at #1 before.
Really, it's all the issues. In theory you could raise them up after creation and nab the top spot, it would be extremely difficult, and you'd pretty much have to have access to the issue effects.
My puppet was just a new one that was created for entirely different reasons than to be Most Liberal or Most Politically Free. That was just a bonus.
Of course, I could artificially raise my ranking... :twisted:
And, for what it's worth, the best ranking I've managed with this nation is 78th in Information Technology Sector. Granted, that's been at the expense of almost all my other industries...
I was 52nd in the world for gambling and 71st in the world for defense forces.
*slips Hack $20*
How about you help me get #1 for that defense forces thing, eh? :wink:
