Roll Call

[snoopy369]

lo from the shores of BunBunia.

[Guardian]

Awfully quiet around here now...

[snoopy369]

No kidding Haven't seen any action almost at all since i joined. Is it this dead normally?

[joncha]

It seems to come in waves.

A few months ago, people got together and decided to revitalize the forum. We had many prosperous weeks with lots of great roleplay going on, but then our UN delegate and a major contributor had a nasty "accident" with his account and things just sort of fell apart. This forum has more or less been a dead duck ever since that happened.

[Rasputin]

the major shake up caused many to not come back, i being one of them, i lost my zeal for the game....

Hiyas, I'm still playing NS. I've been steadily developing my nation over the past three years. My nation is Sharina and here's its basic stats.

Economy: All-Consuming
Civil Rights: Excellent
Political Freedoms: Excellent

Description:

The Republic of Sharina is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 482 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Social Equality are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Sharina's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the liana.


Territory spread across three Earth's:


1. Sharina Prime (Home Earth)*

North America
South America
Shannara
Middle Earth
Hyrule

Medicine

Alliances Sharina is involved in:

TAPRES
NATO
.
.
.
Notes:

* = Sharina was translocated into a Earth / Universe where a lot of magic is prevalent, through an accident with experiments in Quantum technology. The universe Sharina is now in has many magical regions like the ones from video games (Zelda, Final Fantasy, etc.) or books (Shannara and Middle Earth - LOTR) exist.

Sharina is the only technologically advanced and non-magic using nation / civilization in the Magic Universe.

** = Based off the Sliders TV show which aired in the 90's. More information can be found on a search in Google. Basically it allows me to travel between parallel universes and Earth's, enabling me to interact with virtually any nation on NS.

*** = Giant strides are being taken to modernize automobile technologies. Soon, automobiles would be average tech for my time era.

I exist, therefore I am, but I have not time to roleplay, sadly

*Laments the loss of all his old nations*
What exactly was this "Great Cataclysm"? I can't find either the region of New Apolyton it mentions, nor the old nations I used to play.

[joncha]

New Apolyton no longer exists, and if you haven't logged into Nation States in a while, neither do your old nations, in all likelihood.

[Archaic]

And here I thought Mr President was watching over those for me.

[Mr. President]

That was due to a mistake on my part. For that I apologize. For what it's worth, I have caused the resurrection of Alecrast. I hope this goes some way to making up for what happened. It's in the region "Lazarus" right now, and the password is the same as it was when last you logged in. If you have any problems, just let me know.
