Hmmm, while stomping around the hatrack.com forums, I came across something interesting.

NationStates

While the site is rather ass-slow at the moment, its a rather interesting, though simplistic idea. Basically, you control one nation among many, governing by deciding on various issues and proposals.

Having just started, I don't know much more....but has anyone else here looked into this?

Sol System: Well, technically...this is way ahead of you. The whole game is really a way to gain publicity for a book on a similar subject. Mind you, there are no ads, its free, etc.

E. Cartmen: There's no war really. Its really just a big "choose your own adventure" method of governing with minor international participation.

On that note, the only form of international involvement is through the UN. Since most new members are dumped in the "South Pacific" region, it seems that area is under-represented due to the lack of organisation. i.e. If we went ahead and created a Solareclipse region, with a fair number of member nations, we could have a much larger voice in the UN.

Heh. We wouldn't be able to agree on anything, much less speak in vox sola. [Smile]

I meant that this particular author, whose name I can't remember but I know once was spelled Maxx, so I guess I remember half of it, and I can't be bothered to check, has for some time now been on the horizon of everyone's good friend Tom. So I assumed he'd be in here all "Syrup was good, so Jennifer Government has a good chance of quality as well!"

Yet, once again, fate makes fools of us all.
