I love the bots on that site. I was once forced to lead a clone army of communist maids.

Holy based.
one of the best pictures to ever exist
Oh fuck that is a real video game.
based
Its a great game. I created my own communist country on the game years ago. I can link it.
It would be nice to have The Republic of Lemmygrad there, can multiple people control a country?
Theoretically you can if you share the account password and username, but in practicality its one account per person.
Half of the fun of NationStates is interacting with other members. Whether its talking politics and history and science, or role-playing as if you were the leader of your country interacting with other leaders. Such as declaring war and sanctions, working together akin to international cooperation, taking part in polls.
The way the game works is that roughly every 6 hours, the game sends you an event called an “issue”. You are presented with a problem or a proposal, and you are given several different options for what you should do as leader of your country.
Over time by answering issues, the game will add, change or remove policies for your country, shaping it into whatever form you guide.
You can run your country like a neoliberal capitalist hellhole, an anarcho-capitalist shithole, a theocracy run by a fanatic paint-thinner sniffing dictator, an anarchist commune, or a glorious socialist country.
The game also ranks and compares your country with other players, such as living standards, policies, obesity rate, taxation, income, national happiness.
So do I have to be terminally online to play it since there’s this 6 hours thing or can I go there every now and then?
You can log in every now in then. The game also has an app where you can answer your Issues. And the issues come in real-time, whether you’re logged in or not. Though I do recommend checking once or twice a day or every other day, since the game can only hold I think 5-ish issues at a time.
Doesn’t the game have a lib bias, mechanically?
Probably, I’ll always love how the policy is no swastikas on flags but hammers and sickles are fine, 'cause it pisses off all the unironic Nazis.
Nice. I only remember some junk about “civil rights” and how banning drugs (IIRC) lowers the score somehow
It does unfortunately. It’s not quite as bad as it sounds though.
I’ve played it awhile back, built some weirdo socdem thingy with 90% taxation and “basically nonexistent” civil rights.
Max Barry seems to have quite a bias.
Is it really taken from lemmy from motörhead? if so it’s based. also any particular reason why
Why’s it called Lemmy?
Lead singer from Motörhead. The old school video game. The Koopa from Super Mario. The furry rodents.I petition to change the Lemmy icon to this:
All in favor should like this comment
Yes, I suppose Nutomic and/or Dessalines like Motörhead.
Isn’t Kilminster a wehraboo?
No, as many bands in their time they adopted certain iconography that could be interpreted as sympathizers of fascism, and he did collected memorabilia but he considered himself an anarchist (which, yes, it’s not the most based of positions) and was against racism, he had a black girlfriend.
Alright then, thanks for the info!
Now every time I read a Marx quote or book, I will hear Lemmy’s voice lmao
