I am new at this game and was wondering how to do a few things.
1. I have a few nations I made up already. How can I add them all together so it is one big nation instead of 3 different ones. Just wondering if I can move my other nations into just one imparticular nation I have.
2. I also wonder how you are able to build in my nation, the restraunts, amusement parks, ext. Those are my 2 main questions. I appreciate any help. Thank you :confused: :confused:

1. I am almost certain it is impossible to merge nations.
2. Things like that generally just exist, but if you wish it is possible to go to the International Incident forum and just RP a construction company building the various sections of infrastructure.

You cannot merge nations together to create bigger ones, or everyone would be doing it.

As for creating you country, your best bet is NSWiki.

technically yes. However, even though they are seperate nations, I see tow of my nations to almost being the same in RP usage. The Palentine, and Palentine UN office are technically two seperate nations(and are wrote up in Wiki as such.) However RP wise I see Palentine UN Office, more like a bureaucratic area (kinda like Washington DC) ajacent to the Palentine.

I do something similar. I created Ginet when Jolt was having problems, and it didn't get posting access. It took 3 tries to get onto Jolt, but I consider GinetV3 to be part of Ginet, even though they're seperate nations.

...and St Edmund shares much of its territory with 'St Edmund Air', which was originally created just before the Fossil Fuel Reduction Act passed so that our aviation industry (which was one of our main users of those fuels) would be outside of the UN & thus not crippled by that resolution... but which has managed to draw quite a few businesses of other types into its ranks since then, too, as they saw the advantage of leaving the UN's rules behind.

Yes I have RP nations that are part of my main nation but I was referring to creating puppet nations and combining their populations together.

We tell them how they will vote on legislation, after which they have the unhappy challenge of bringing their leaderless and anarchic nation into compliance.

1) In roleplay, yes. In gameplay, no.
2) Use the NSwiki.

1) Create a region and have them all move into it. Then password protect the region. Name the region whatever you want the super-nation to be called.
2) This is an all-text game. Make your nation up with your imagination, then you can draw/photograph/and most commonly write about it's geography, government, race, history, religion, et cetera.

Can anyone explain to me what is the roleplay option? where can I see it? What about the NSwiki?

Thanks!

Quite hard to explain but basically you could roleplay with merged nations although it wouldn't be true in gameplay.

NS Wiki is a wikipedia for NationStates so you could create one for your nation and mention it on there.

To role-play your nation is basically to make it all up and write about it, with a little information from your nation page, you can go just about everywhere. Does it say all drugs are legal? Then you can pretend that the government is using something like the Soma from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World to control the populace, or that your people get prophetic visions from spice like in Frank Herbert's Dune.
