Nation States

Hello! This is R2D2 with your latest post.

Today I am going to tell you about a Massively Multiplayer (free) Online Game known as Nation States/Nation States 2.

In both Nation States 1 and 2, the objective is to simply create and manage your own nation. While this seems boring on the surface, it can get pretty nice and interesting. I encourage you all to take a look.

In both games, you start by taking a political survey. Your nation will be formed based on what you answer in the survey. Then, every day, you will be given issues to address. You can choose how to deal with the issue, or, just dismiss the issue if non of the arguments apply to you. Based on how you answer to these issues, your Nation will grow and develope. While they are both fun, Nation States 2 offers more in terms of trade, economy, military and player/player relations, as in Nation States 2 you can form alliances, and blockade or trade with other players. Soon they even claim to add warfare to the game. Anyway, that wraps up this post telling you the gist of Nation States and Nation States 2. I will be sure to write a review once I have gotten into it more.
