1. How 2 get more population faster? It there like a way 2 speed that up? I think if there is a Issue that like, allow birth control or not, then of course if U reject that say birth control, and maybe if U, say NO TV, the little people gonna get bored at nite and of course, find another entertaintment and the result, have more babies? *LOL* Any other ways or U think that would work?

2. Is there some place that like explain how 2 better make your nation the way U want? I cannot find it so far. Help?

Thank you,

Suzy :)

Your population will actually decrease if you keep using numbers and the letter U as words. Grammar and spelling do count in this game.

Spelling and grammar aside - which DCD has adequately addressed - here are the answers:

1. Population slowly increases every day, around 5 Million or so. This can't be made to go any faster - it ensures no-one can start today and dwarf year-old nations. You'll have to wait for a while.

2. There are many threads in the International Incidents and NationStates forums that will help you in RolePlaying your nation to a better degree:

:D Of course, this is only the most important aspect.

For all further inquiry, just go to the www.nationstates.net start page and look under "FAQ" - and read everything you find there.

Plus, if you want to do "more", you can look under "United Nations", join the UN, and vote on resolutions.

Oh, and just to spoil the fun and be boringly obvious: you can't increase your population at will. The game's not that sophisticated. It'll increase by itself every day.
Pretty much all you do is decide the daily issues and, if you're so inclined, join the UN and vote on the resolutions there.

Edit: Duh, Skinny already got there. But mine's a lot more basic, minus the roleplaying, so I'll just leave here. You never know what she's looking for.

a good and easy to understand guide to what NS is and the forums here (doesn't answer your question specifically but it might be helpful... but then i would say that ;))
