Iam fairly new at this malarky so forgive me if this is the wrong place to stick this post. But seeing as Ive already started to write this or whatever I will carry on. Basically I have a very important question about this 'Nationstates-ness' that has been puzzling and troubling me for sometime. If you can answer this question for me it would be much appreciated.

Why are all the top ranking countries, in Nationstates, fascist, millitant and damn right horrible?

:mp5: :sniper: :gundge:

I realise that it might be an ironic reflection of the true world but if so thats just crap.

Thank you.

I'm not Facist, Militant maybe (but then agin, everyone is deep down, that's the point of being on the forums) but definitely not horrible.

Top nations are normally people who enjoy RP. Facism gives them a VERY good excuse to RP pretty much whatever they want. It also gives the re3st of us (unmilitant to use your words) a chance to fight a war without PORTRAYING ourselves downright horrible.

RPing is really a double life. There's the face of your nation which may seem peacfull, and there's the real you who's itching to flex your creative muscles.

Don't read much into the attitudes or relationships between nations. We're all friends really...I think.

"Because Good is Dumb."

Sorry, there's my Spaceballs quote for the day. Anywho, I personally am a good guy, but my special forces carry out some morally ambigious missions. Example-kidnapping/torturing the daughter of a CEO of an evil company to get him to deliver evidence to a third party. I look at it as making the morally difficult decisions to protect my allies innocence.

Just a word of advice. No one here will take you seriously if you use those damn gun smileys. Well, I certainly won't, at least...

It depends on the rankings. Assuming the recent ones, such as stupidest citizens and highest industries, it makes sense. Wait for the happy citizens, good weather, and smart people rankings, then the "good" people rule. :p

Why should "goodness" affect the weather?!?

Did you read the original post? It was a contrast to the horrible label he used.
