NationStates Jolt Archive

Just wondering how many people here have other nations in addition to the one they're using right now, and how many nations people have.

I myself have four active nations plus some i don't use actively:


Patriotic Finland
Suur-Uusimaa
Imperalia
Proletarian Finland

I use all abovementioned countries except Imperalia on Finnish-language regions, but i use Imperalia in Europe.

I have more than thirty, if I'm counting correctly. I'm also giving some away, because I have way too many.

Six, but I don't use one of them.
i'm not telling which they are though!

WOW! I have only those four actives in addition to this and some that i check once a week or so like 6.

I have a total of 5, but only 2 are currently active. Three are "ex-nations".

The three ex-nations are "Stubby", "Little Miss Muffet", and "Falacious Statements".

Thirty isn't so much. I know one chap who had about 170.

:eek: :eek: Oh....my....f***ing god! How did he remember all of them?

I have no idea how he did it. I keep a list of all my nations in the dossier of my main nation, personally.

I just memorize the names. 10 isn't that hard to remember.

Yeah. I didn't bother to list them in my dossier until I had about twenty.

Who was the one who did the list of different nation categories and the simplest ways to get them? That must've taken a lot of nations.

Err, I think it was Qaaolchoura?

about 250 created, kept about 200 alive for pretty long, but most died now because of school..

*grumbles about school interfering with ns*

Around 70. But they are fading slightly

Mother of God! People here seem to have lot of nations! :eek:

Hell you missed the Great Nation Auction Spree of June-July 2003. People were creating nations and putting them up for 'sale' Hell kids were buying nations of what 500 million just to get a foot up the rung in the game.

Although nation auctions are now considered poor Rp...and I even think disallowed.

(Obviously this is a puppet...)

Well that's what I call lame.... :rolleyes:

Meh, not disallowed.

*confesses to auctioning off a puppet in November to raise funds for large capital expenditures*

I didn't know it was frowned upon when I did it--I thought it was the NS version of selling land/colonies, kind of like a way to RP the Louisiana Purchase. Of course, I had never seen it done before, so I had no idea what people would think of it. I didn't get 30 million people calling me a n00b on the auction thread, either.

I have repented of my n00bish ways.

I have three nations. This is the only one that's active in terms of roleplay (OK, I know puppetwanking=bad). The other two I keep active in terms of NS game mechanics (answering issues and such), but I don't RP with them. With the exception of a war I RPed between my main nation and one of my puppets a while back.

IIRC, it only receives brief mention in the stickies. Nation auctions=bad probably needs to be emphasized more in said stickies.

I've got about 30 right now I actively use for various purposes... at one point I had more than 100, and I gave them away right here in Gameplay once college started for the 2004-2005 year.

See thats just wrong its gred potentially taking away good names from bad people

United Cultures, Green Sun, and Neo Black Sun are all mine.

Who says anyone who has 170 puppets is "bad?" I use all the puppets I make, and when I'm done, I give them away instead of letting them die. That's not bad at all.

I *think* I have 15 or so nations. I'd say that I use (or have used) 10 of them for RPs at some point or other, while the rest usually remain limited to regional interactions. They're all pretty different, both in terms of technology and policies (one modern-tech pacifist nation, one future tech warrior nation, an ultimate capitalist nation, several in-betweens, a communist nation...), so it's not a case of 'pick one, stick with one'. I keep them all alive in case I want to pick up on any. I don't like that a lot of people here base their nations after their own RL beliefs, however vague... just seems like a disaster waiting to happen, if you ask me.

I'm currently in control of 30+ nations all over NS. Half of them are over a billion, the rest is of diverse age. I try to keep all of them but two got deleted and of one I lost the password. :rolleyes:

In my opinion having a lot of puppets is not wrong, just as long as you do something with them. I try to give them a cool name and after passing 500M they receive an appropriate pretitle. They flags are ALWAYS custom tailored. :)

Working on that one right now. :)

Only one, but I'm planning of making a puppet just to travel around to different regions while I keep my UN one firmly planted.

EDIT: I've also had 2 puppets over the cousse of time, but both died from inactivity after I just forgot about them.

At the moment? Three.
Somebody in my region ressurected Qaaolchoura on me, dragging me back on the day before yesterday, so I'm kinda low right now.
I've gone through several hundered in my time in NS, but never much more than 200 at a time.

And you really should revise those poll numbers. Those of us who have a lot of nations tend to have a huge number.

Thirty isn't so much. I know one chap who had about 170.I knew somebody who cleimed to have about 400. Corsario. Is he still around by the way?

Ahh Yes, I'm sure that someboudy else will really want some of the fairly random names that I give my nations.

Who was the one who did the list of different nation categories and the simplest ways to get them? That must've taken a lot of nations.

Err, I think it was Qaaolchoura?
Yes it was me. It used to be a sticky. I also calculated the effects that each question has in terms of raw statistics.

It took a fair number and I code named them all with series of letters, such as Q1SA for "Centrist government, Question 1, Strongly Agree, all other questions blank" I don'tg recall if it was the exact naming system that I used.

I've got five nations. I have seven nations that have died to inactivity.

I have two. This one that I now use and base on my real life beliefs and one from a few days ago to see how the game worked. I don't know how to dellete the old one, if someone could tell me that would be awesome. I'm going to create another nation soon that is not based on my real life ideas. :)

If you simply leave it alone for long enough, it will be deleted for inactivity.

I guess I'm pretty normal (;)) in that I have 20 nations right now, all alive.
