Nationstates; The nation simulator

Nationstates is a simulator played for free in the browser. It is a game where the player starts and rules a state, however they prefer to, wether its a free and rich country or a corrupt terror state. It is a very interested game with thousands of players forming alliances and "invading" each other. One can not really call NationStates a game, there are no game-like elements, and the game is created to be similar to reality. Invading is done by joining a region (an alliance formed by several countries,) And kicking the other members out of the group.

Each day, the country faces new issues, wether it is a calm debate about bottled water or the citizens raging about taxes. It is all very interesting and realistic, the player can easily access citizen death rates, average income, civil rights and economy, etc.

I enjoy playing the game as the emperor of the Sanguinean empire, a harsh but rich country with extremely low crime rates and little political freedom.



From playing NationStates, I have discovered new things about politics, such as different types of dictatures and republics, jingoistic states and armed states. In my country, crime is nonexistent thanks to my capable police force. My countrys economy is strong, with some civil rights and completely outlawed political freedom. Therefore I count my empire as a sort of dictature, however, with freedom for the people but no freedom in politics. I think that this is a game for anyone interested in politics and those who want to know what it feels like to rule a country.
