Nation States - The Great Continent of Entmoot

[Twista]

Btw, i just keep dismissing my issues... is that a bad thing? lol

[Nurvingiel]

It just won't have any effects on your country at all - boring! Take a risk or two, it's more fun.

I abolished prisons and my crime rate only increased a small amount. So in a later issue I increased my police force.

The Queendom of the Bookworms
"Books are Good for your Soul"
UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: good
Politcal Freedoms: Superb
Location: the South Pacific, until we all got on boats and sailed to the Great Continent of Entmoot, a pod of dolphins in our wake.
Currency: the golden leaf
Animal: the dolphin

The Queendom of The Bookworms is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning dolphin population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, corrupt government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 26%. A large private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Crime is relatively low. The Bookworms's national animal is the dolphin and its currency is the golden leaf.

Is it on purpose that my default for this sub-forum now shows thread posted to within the past 30 days - instead of the Entmoot standard of 100 days?

It also looks like Entmoot Continent Nations are starting to drop like flies!

It's because people haven't been going into nation states.

I still think we should make it more interesting. byt trying to form a government and actually do some role playing. All we are doing is just discussing the issues. I am finding it somewhat boring at the moment and only check my country once in a while.

each person 'representing' their nation

yes - that was my initial idea when I asked SGH to help convince Ben to give us our own forum. I thought it could be like the United States and the EU. But then no one was interested in it. BoP left in a huff without even saying anythign - but came back and made comments that that was one of the reasons she left. So I just dropped the idea. But to put it truthfully - what is going right now with the Great Continent is frigging boring and it doesn't keep people's interests.

[Valandil]

For my part, it's hard to justify the additional time of a more active role in 'Nation-States'. Maybe it's not so with others, but that's why I prefer to just 'dabble' and respond to daily issues.

i'm behind you with this one, we could discuss real issues, or fictional issues,
get everyone's views then

[Lalaith_Elf]

I'm behind everyone as well. Discussing the issues etc, would make it a bit more interesting. At the moment I just go on to check my issues, lodge the occasional message and thats all. Unless I'm really bored, thats when I'll take a trip to the Nation States own forum, to discuss issues. But it's not that good a forum. I'd much rather do that on Entmoot.

[Valandil]

I'm not sure what's happening, but I think I'm only getting an issue every other day, instead of every day, as I kept the settings. *sigh* I may stop playing myself soon and let my country eventually drop out of existence (I expect our continent to be much smaller in 28 days anyway). So many of the issues are weird - and the proposed directions are goofy - and I end up dismissing more and more of them. Fun quotient is definitely dropping.

I wonder if there's any way to request improvements to the game... ie, select catagories for issues, be able to re-visit issues which have come up before and make alterations, etc...

[brownjenkins]

i've been letting snicker-snack go to seed for quite a while... better check in on it

[Radagast The Brown]

Wow... I forgot about my nation. Too bad for the citizens.

My nation's situation is awful. Corrupt dictatorship again. *sigh* Well, the game is kinda boring after a few weeks, don't you agree? The issues repeat themselves, and as Valandil said quite weird.
Seems like many weren't active lately.
Brownjenkins - you do know your nation has ceased to exist right?

The Holy Republic of Half-Dwarf

http://www.nationstates.net/images/f..._lucia--54.jpg

"Meep!"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Reasonable Political
Freedoms: Below Average

Location: The Great Continent of Entmoot

The Holy Republic of Half-Dwarf is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Dwarf population. Its compassionate population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Trout Farming.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Half-Dwarf's national animal is the Dwarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Half.

You can request things and also submit your own issues. They were working on a more robust version of the game - but the one version, which was going to allow war, was going to probably cost money.

Welcome aboard Anduril.

Who is still playing, and how many countries are left in the continent. I haven't played for a little while and just checked back today. My auto-login didn't happen and I forget my password. Can anyone tell me if 'Ara-Norr' has ceased to exist?

Yes - you still exist and the Continent has 30 countries.
