    The subject of NationStates is a controversial issue. In depth analysis of NationStates can be an enriching experience. Though NationStates is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, NationStates is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that NationStates is rarely given rational consideration by those politicaly minded individuals living in the past, who just don't like that sort of thing. Though I would rather be in bed I will now examine the primary causes of NationStates.

    Social Factors

    As Reflected in classical mythology society is complicated. Back when Vealinger reamarked ‘the power struggle will continue while the great tale of humanity remains untold’ [1] he borrowed much from NationStates. While deviating from the norm will always cause unrest amongst ones peers, NationStates cleary plays a significant role amongst the developing middle classes.

    Recent thought on NationStates has been a real eye-opener for society from young to old. Clearly it promotes higher individualism and obeyence of instinct. As soon as a child meets NationStates they are changed.

    Economic Factors

    The dictionary defines economics as 'the social science concerned with the production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services'. We will primarily be focusing on the Greek-Roman model, a classic economic system of analysis.

    NationStates

    The statistics make it clear that NationStates is a major market factor. Clearly housing prices sings a very different tune. Assumptions made by traders have caused uncertainty amongst the private sector.

    Political Factors

    Machiavellian politics is rife. Are our leaders justified in pursuing and maintaining political power? Politicians find it difficult to choose between what has become known in politics as - 'The two ways' - NationStatesism and post-NationStatesism.

    We cannot talk of NationStates and politics without remembering the words of one of the great political analysts Vatusia Tuigamala 'Taking a walk across hot coals will inevitably hurt your feet.' [2] This quotation leads me to suspect that he was not unaccustomed to NationStates. It speaks volumes. If NationStates be the food of politics, play on.
    Why did NationStates cross the road? - To get to the other side! Just my little joke, but lets hope that NationStates doesn't inspire similar hilarity in the next elections.

    Conclusion

    How much responsibility lies with NationStates? We can say that NationStates must not be allowed to get in the way of the bigger question: why are we here? Putting this aside its of great importance. It replenishes the self, it stimulates and is a joy to behold.

    As a parting shot here are the words of super-star Courteney Hanks: 'I wouldn't be where I am today without NationStates.' [3]

    You get 0, 1, or 2 issues a day whatever you set it on and you read the arguements and decide. It then impacts your nation in some way (it takes 1 minute to make a decision). So max like 5 mins a day you will have to devote time to. GO LITERATIM!

    "The fact is, the Asiatic Wild Ass population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Peggy Li. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Asiatic Wild Ass kebabs, Asiatic Wild Ass pies, Asiatic Wild Ass-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."

    Players can submit new issues, so I think they have added quite a few.

    I don't know, I haven't played this game in years.
