How many nations do you have?

I don't have any.

I don't have any.I have fewer than you. :(
I have three.

I have two.

8 currently.

I have Three

8 currently.

How do you keep them all going. I have 2 in reality and one of those hasn't made a forum post in like 6 months.

Five

I have two.

Only this nation and another are my 'main' nations i.e where I answer issues every day and post and RP regularly with, although two others are trying hard along with the regions they are in. The others are really extraneous and I don't do much with them, although Isla Vista is too powerful for me to want to either give away or let die.

Eleven.

Scratch that. Twenty extreamly active nations.

One.

me :(

a few of 'em died...

so 3.

Me, my other one died.

Just one.

One.

Just one.

One main one. I also have one nation I made before I had this one reactivated, but that's just a placeholder really.

I'm also thinking of making another one...

I have a few.

They're around...somewhere.

The Stalinist Republic of The Stalinist Union has four other nations under its Stalinist sphere of influence.

I only own one nation proper, with three semi-autonomous colonies.

At my last count, which was seconds ago, I currently have 106 active puppets, not counting my main nation, Tuesday Heights.

I have far too many nations, let's just say. :)

29; I have to get 2 resurrected.

I have HP, one Whitter gave me and one I got back from Hogsweat... That makes 2.

Just Hamanistan

Not counting my UN nation or this nation, I have well in excess of 300 puppets. Many know me as Crazy Kitty or Dog Lake. Some by my other puppets, like Manitoulin or Ashmore. I'm winding down a number of my puppets, but I'm creating almost as many nations as are those that are dying off.

Since I had started playing this game, I really have no idea how many nations that I had overall. Must be over 1000 by now. :)

For some reason I cannot get onto these forums with my nation that I normally use here.

I don't feel so bad anymore!

I have ten+my main one, Korean.

I have 6 active and probably 2 dozen expired nations. I post almost exclusively from Frisbeeteria.

I only have two. I don't post much with the other one.

Currently 4.

Smokalia
Spencer and Wellington
Jonasiana

*counts* 9.

I RP with this nation, Monte Ozarka. The other 8 are doing all sorts of assorted stuff in the Pacifics.

I have severalteen nations,

Hmm... Loop, I'm not familiar with that number... Is it of Cupertinian origin? :p

13.

I used to have 7.
Now I have 4.

Had 3, down to 1

Currently 30, but used to have 45.

I think one person should only be able to have 1 or 2. IMO a person who makes hundrads then lets them die is just using up other names others that have never played the game might use. I mean there is really no need for more then 2.

i dunno.. they should be able to have as many as they can play effectivly..
I have 3, all of them that i play regularly. if your letting them die. then yes.. you shouldnt be able to make more..

Whitelilly - not much with this one, just trying to make it a tyranny by magority.
Alarian Haven - My un nation.. i actually chose the issues as i would truly decide.. it really leads to a twisted nation.. civil rights lovefest.. lol..
Alarian Mountain - anarchy!! YAYS!! I got that today.. im so happy ^.^ now to keep it here.. while lowing my taxes. lol.. lets see.. this is the one i rp with.


how on earth do you have time for 106 active nations??

i have 4, one i use and 3 i had to make for an rp (their names are unlikely ever to be chosen by anyone else (eg city ship elysion))

Hmmm...I have 15 in all.

142 currently

how on earth do you have time for 106 active nations??It's not difficult at all. You make a bunch of nations, stick them in vacation mode, put them into one nation's dossier, and log into them every two months. Simple.

1 nation, i dont rp, cause i don't know how

Do you have a life?

I'm not sure you're one to talk..

I thought that was against the rules? for UN nations at least.

You can have as many nations as you want, only one can be in the UN.

Another question I have is ... just what would you do with all these nations? Is there any sort of purpose behind many of these?

I've got 37 nations, I use them to gather intelligence.

To quote myself from an earlier thread...

Puppets can be used to create regions you don't want to mess with using your main nation, send to other regions as diplomats, friends, spies, sleepers, you name it. They can be used to placemark regions, invade regions, defend regions, manipulate people, spy on organizations, build up your own reputation, help other regions, destroy other regions, do a million things you don't want to or can't use your main nation for. Puppets can be used to test out game mechanics, the effects of all the issues, trying to get a nation high up in each ranking, figure out which UN category means what, find out the best options to raise CR, Econ, PF, environment, industries, health, happiness, everything.

I have a UN puppet because I don't want the UN messing with my main nation's stats, but I still need a voice in regional politics. I have this nation to post on the forums, and I have my puppets to do everything else.

If you invade or defend, you will also likely find puppets quite usefull.

56, come and join the Federal Commonwealth Society!

Well, I'm now up to 19. :rolleyes:

Wait, most of the war crap is done with open-ended roleplaying, right? (NS doesn't have a complex war system with strictly enforced rules, does it?) And the outcome of such is all concentual, right? So how does the actual amount of nations that one may have really impact this?
I don't really know a whole lot about this stuff, so this post will probably come off as nieve and ignorant to most.

...as for the amount of nations I own, New Vinnland reciently annexed The Nation of Nuknuk (my brother's nation, which he was going to leave untouched to rot) so that makes 2 for me.

Only one. I like it here. :D

Well, some people RP at different tech levels/time periods, so many have specific nations devoted to a single time frame. Some have various nations as a result of what goes on in RP's. (i.e. A civil war RP leads the nation to split in two. Thus, whoever's playing as that nation may create a new nation to show this split.)

Also, many of the nations that have bazillions of puppets are for real gameplay on NS itself (not RP). Something that takes up a lot of attention is invading and defending. This is because if a region does not have a founder (or if the founder doesn't exist anymore), the UN delegate has the powers of a founder (banning, ejecting, etc.) Thus, regions with militaries (UN nations) developed. With military comes military intelligence, and that's where most of the puppets come in. There's nothing better in the morning than good ole' espionage. :p

Also, if you were in a region like The North Pacific, you had a long string of puppets because crackpot pirate dictators would keep on ejecting and banning everyone, and so you need a new nation to go in and take its place (only to have it get banned, etc.). Good thing TNP has been liberated. :D

I have two countries. One I never RP with, though I'm trying to use it as a future tech country (Antonos) and this one.

I had three at one time, but my first-ever puppet (Emasculata) died from lack of activity because I let it die.

NS doesn't have a complex war system with strictly enforced rules, does it?Yes, but the community has developed a set of rules.
And the outcome of such is all concentual, right?Yes, but if you refuse to take losses, you might have trouble finding anyone to RP with.
So how does the actual amount of nations that one may have really impact this?It doesn't.

Glad I'm not the only one doing all of these things. Many of my bigger nations are my old UN puppets, too.

well having seen some of the numbers quoted here it looks like im a small time player as i only have 6 nations, one UN, this one for most international stuff (see my signature), one is a minister for a region and the others just float around until i need them for something.

2 active and then I have a couple of Embassies in other regions, that requires a nation. So i guess I have 6 altogether but I only really RP one, the other active gets very little attention. In fact i want someone to take it over and use it as an Active Nation, full RP and everything.

I have this, plus two other nations over two billion (one I saved from death), plus my UN nation, my second generation nations, and two break offs from one of my two billion nations... and what I felt like... so, that is... 3+1+3+2+4.... *counts on fingers*, and so, that is 13 as of now...

But, I'm likely adding more as my nations break down. Kutou-koku has already broken into West and East Kirin Tor (West Kirin Tor has died and belong to someone else), and Nyosei...

Oh, I have somewhere between 10 and 100 nations.

*looks impressed*
Well, I don't have that many...
More than 3, though.

Figure out one of my other nations, and you score a point!

Also, if you were in a region like The North Pacific, you had a long string of puppets because crackpot pirate dictators would keep on ejecting and banning everyone, and so you need a new nation to go in and take its place (only to have it get banned, etc.). Good thing TNP has been liberated.I'll say. I have 10 more puppets to mind because of that little episode with Mr. Bight.

Just one. Alphabetically, I am on page 5101 of THE WORLD.

My puppets and I choose not to answer that question.

*feels like a noob* This one

The Allied States of Serpania. Nothing more, nothing less. ;)

2
The Confederacy of Lafeel which is pretty much as I'd personally control a nation
and
The Incorporated states of Hardheads which is basically the worst sort of police state I can think of

I have 43, though around five are active regulary.

I'm down to fourteen well known nations!

At present. 1 and you're lookin at 'em. ;)

Seriously, next time it would be nice to have a poll in order to make a histogram.

Something like:

How many nations do you have:

1
2
3-5
6-10
11-20
So many I don't even know!

Seriously, next time it would be nice to have a poll in order to make a histogram.

Actually, that might make a very interesting survey if it could be conducted officially.

In response to this thread, I currently have 28 nations, including this one. Most of them serve as diplomatic puppets to regional allies and administrative puppets and colonies of Tuesday Heights. I used to have more than 100 + puppets but once school started, I had no time to maintain them all and gave most of them away, letting the rest die of inactivity.

I have five, am thinking of cutting it down to three, possibly creating a new fourth puppet.

I think I have been very creative in my nation names,
I have 29 nations so far, and I have about 12 other
nation names in mind that have not been created yet
since the last time I checked.

I plan to let die about have of the nations I have now,
and post it as the dismantleing of an empire, but first
I think I should create the new nations first.

I used to have a
Corrupt Dictatorship and a
Psychotic Dictatorship for a while,
I had fun with that one, oh the laws
I passed until I got tired of it.

And probably everything else
at one time or another.

How many are you allowed to have? I currently have two.

I currently have four, although I use this one as my main...I might one day RP with the other ones, but not yet...I quit NationStates a while ago, and only recently created Letokia, so my other 3 nations are quite old, with about 2 Billion population each...

I used to have too many
Im now down to 6 packs a day.

Oh, wait, , this is not the Smokers annon.


I used to have a lot of puppets, but I have been weeding them out to the Ten or so I like.

The United States of Southeastasia is my only nation, and I plan to keep it that way. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh man, you guys had to dig up this old thread? :p

You're allowed to have as many nations as you want, just don't have more than one UN nation (you can switch between the nations, of course, just make sure you resign one before putting another in)

I had over 200 nations...

i have 14, 8 of which i made myself, and 6 which i just seemed to get off people

I have 13 nations. :eek:

I have five, my original, 3 I got from people, and one I made for recruiting purposes.

I only have six now, I used to have something like 30.

6, some have never been used for anything, I just keep them alive, one served RP purposes but doesnt anymore, this one was given to me by someone who left a long time ago, this one I use now mainly because I like the name.

I have a total of eighteen current nations, but have had fifty three since I first started: they have either died from inactivity or been deleted.

I find it quite easy to keep up with them: I go on my main nation - Little India - every day, and then I go on my other nations probably once a week.

Correction: I have thirty three current nations: I miscounted!

I have uno.

Back to the grave, foul ghost!
