There will be no war.

Such is the will of Admin.

Freeform roleplay is far more interesting than any battle simulator you can program into an online game. Does require some writing skills, however.

There is a (unoffical) NSB however it dose not have the suttlites of war it's straight numbers I belive it can still be useful but it depends on the players to work out the details.
As I pointed out in another post in this forum it would behove the group to have a judge or judges and peace talks after the winner/louser had been deturnmind.
Thats a lot of RP after useing the NSB as sort of a guide line.

Perhaps Max Berry and someone will develop a war aspect to NS some day, but, for the present it in not practical.

This will be included in NationStates 2 however.

Read the FAQ.

How do I go to war against another nation? Or trade?
In one sense, you can't. NationStates doesn't include these things -- because it's a simple game, and because they would bias things in favor of militaristic and capitalist nations. One of the nice things about NationStates is that you can craft a nation into your idea of Utopia without having to worry about such pragmatic concerns as national defence.

Into the breach, however, steps the NationStates community, which has independently devised an entire system covering war, trade, and just about anything else you can think of. This takes place entirely on the forums (mostly in International Incidents), and is role-played.

Many people have asked about the possibility of a more sophisticated version of NationStates, with trade, military conflicts, and more. This does sound cool, but I haven't decided yet if I want to do that. It would be a lot of work, and I'd have to charge people to play it. But it's possible.

I've lost all hope of a NS2. Its not going to happen...at least not in my lifetime.

Why needs random generaters. RPing it out is better.
