Since i am on broadband with a uber fast PC, there is simply no question of problems on my end. Evidently nationstates needs new servers.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

As an Anarchist, I take offence. Anarchy means no hierarchy or government of any sort, every one is exactly equal, no one better than anyone else. That doesn''t mean, say, muder is ok, because there's no law. Rather murder is making yourself more important than the victim, so is against the anarchist ideal.

Guess who wrote that? The same people who wrote "The Anarchy Handbook - The FBI" You see, Anarchy is strong. So strong the us government (mostly Illuminati run) fear it, sicne they could lose their power. So they make every attempt to discredit it. To quote Rage Against the Machine "Through Counter-Intelligence, we can identify potential troublemakers and neutralise them"

Through the Counter intelligenc eof publishing that book, potential troublemaker s(anyone who reads it) are identified, and since tryig anything in the book would likely get the user killed, they are neutralised. At the same time, the genel public starts to think less of anarchy,

Context, people.

So, almost a week into Earth2025 (possibly less) I've amassed about 3.8 billion dollars, to spend as I wish. With that 3.8 billion I can purchase 26,960 troops, 20,185 Jets, 18,446 Turrets, 6579 Tanks, or 10,739 Bushels.

games.swirve.com. Yeah, quite the fun game.

I don't think "cyberpunk" is something reasonable governments shoot for.

Wait, Entropy. yeah, nm.

Hey kids, I just wanted to say hello.  I've joined up, and moved to Procrastania.   The Sultanate of House of Mustard.

I'd like to point out that Noh is not only the most liberal nation in the region, but #264 or so in the world. Huzzah!

And by the way: welcome, Mustard!

The Theocracy of Ehlers declares war on the Sultinate of House of Mustard.

(it's what you get in Procratania instead of a house warming party).

And Fell, we must be shooting for opposites here. I'm not only last in the region, but in the bottom 2k or so in the world (which means in the bottom 1-2%). Good thing we're allies.

Fortunately, camouflage is the official dresscode of my nation.  You're military rolls on through and out the other side.
