Is this guy deadass tryna promote his youtube channel on NATIONSTATES dude at least be a socially acceptable degenerate like the rest of us and do it on Discord in a #promotion channel

whats wrong with that, and you don't have to be rude to him about it.

This isn't a promotion chat dude. It's a nationstates forum. Basically only supposed to post OOC stuff in regards to the universe and your nation. Also you still have aboriginal flag.

but a least be a little bit nice, none of us know how he feels each day

Dude we can literally look at his profile. He is a troll. His account was created and he went on to intentionally troll us. He isn't doing this for his self esteem. He's doing it because he thinks its funny.

yeah i check his profile, i guess he made it when yeet was still funny, most likely a teen of sorts, then again look at my name and yell it out loud

"most likely a teen of sorts"
I guarantee you at least 60% of the people on nationstates are under the age of 17

im probably more mature than he is

forget that i said that

Most countries use "fiat" money instead of comparing to the gold standard. Basically, a government assigns a money a value, and then that value is compared to its actual value, which is regulated by the ACU. basically, treat the ACU as your "gold standard." Does that make sense? For simplicity, most people use 1/500 = 1 ACU which is fairly complex, and the math gets complicated. Instead of getting bogged down in the numbers, I'd reccomend studying some of teh economics philosophy. There are some books about it online,

It's fairly sizable and is really more of a school textbook - if you aren't in 10/11 year yet, most countries teach you in one of those two years.

The thing is the leading governing officials of government in Nicersdah are hard libertarians so they really only have the state run the military and deal with foreign powers. With the impracticality of gold, private banks decided to make a deal with people, give us your gold and we'll give you banknotes to represent it, and so right now anyways the banks tie their currency to gold as thats what the banknotes represent physically, and not fiat, yet anyways, that's a future roleplay as the government becomes more neo-liberal and then modern liberal economically

Edit: I am playing a nation lagging behind somewhat in all sectors, and we just had gold as our currency because it was easier to keep the peasants poor that way for the President (dictator)

The victorian junta wrote:

The President-General saluted the man, nodding after doing so. He entered the vehicle, admiring the city around him, clearly contemplative and careful of the meeting ahead. After that, he simply waited, being led to the God-Emperor. Something particularly notable about the man was his quiet demeanour in private, with a stiff and unyielding aura around him. But regardless, upon his entry to the room where the God-Emperor was located, he gave a cordial smile, extending his hand out to the man, looking at him as an equal, his grand military uniform on display.

God-Emperor Jon extends his hand immediately to shake President-General Porter's hand. "Welcome President-General and your delegates." Said the God-Emperor before letting go of a firm handshake. "It is an honour that you arrived. I hope to establish something great between our two glorious Nations." After the hand shake the God-Emperor gestured his guests to take a seat at the oval table in his office. President-General Porter's seat positioned at the opposite of the God-Emperor so they face each other, to the right sat Hadian's Imperial Advisory and to the left of the table the delegates from Victorian Junta.

"President-General Porter, I sense a commonality between our ideology." God-Emperor Jon said with a friendly yet firm face. "Nothing can surpass Natural law and the right of one's race to stay united." He paused to study the foreigners before him in commonality. "We are men that know that nature demands the highest order. That within it the boundaries of each species must remain. For example the polar bear only mates with a polar bear and the eagle with another eagle. I know I don't need to go on further in this discussion. I'm aware of your beautiful creation of Porterism." The God-Emperor took a moment of silence to take a drink before continuing. "I believe we can reach a mutual agreement of trade and friendship; one that strengthens our concepts and accelerates our two superior races."

Hadian's Imperial Advisor of Foreign Affairs and Trade chimed in, "We are an oil rich country with a vast surplus of oil and other raw materials such as gold, silver and diamonds." A slight clearing of throat before continuing, "We would gladly Trade with Victorian Junta in exchange to what your delegation purposes. We also support an alliance between our two great nations." With the silence the Hadian's Imperial Advisor of Internal Affairs and Finance spoke, "We seek an opportunity between our nations that will draw a strong alliance both militaristic and financially. We offer Victorian Junta an option to sentence their worse by "Transportation" to Hadian to face Hard Labour or by your wish immediate death in our biggest crematorium in the village Otto."

The God-Emperor interrupted "Let them process what we have offered and let them enjoy the evening in the Hadian Empire." He snapped his fingers and within an instance a butler came in with Diplomat Immunity Cards for each of the Victorian Junta delegates and for President-General Porter. "Enjoy Cheldian City and walk freely in the Volkshalle. President-General Porter, your room is on the second highest floor in the Volkshalle. I hope my men could meet up to your expectations. Your room also overlooks the entire Cheldian City which I hope the view is pleasing."

The Hadian Imperial Advisory stood up and Roman saluted their guests and then their God-Emperor before leaving. God-Emperor Jon stood up and Roman saluted his guests saying, "May prosperity unite our two glorious Nations, Hail Victory, Hail President-General Porter."

You are literally him, I dunno why you are pretending to be someone else.

Honest opinion, that likely wouldn't actually work. Your nation would collapse. But this is fiction so I won't get nitpicky about it.

Yeah ik, i dont believe this in real life, and the flaws showing would lead to the aforementioned changes

That is literally not how modern money works. Coins are specifically NOT made of gold anymore, because gold is expensive. why do you think americans make coins out of copper and nickel? They're relatively cheap and so you can assign them a value, higher than what they actually are.

I use 6% gold and silver for higher value coins and I use 1% gold for lower value coins
PS: I've got lots of gold and silver mines due to large deposits of said materials

You wouldn't do that. Some countries have abolished coins altogether. Fiat money is trust money:the government assigns it a value and the people "trust" that value. Do you think the 100$ bill is actually made out of 100$ worth of material? lol

howdy

Welcome. If you haven't already, I reccomend reading the roleplaying starter guide m

Anterian Roleplay Guide

by New sebronia

Welcome to Anteria, the second planet in the Tendor System, home to humanity and all their beautiful nations!

The Anterian roleplay is a modern tech world completely unrelated to Earth. That means that the roleplay takes place in the current year; 2021, and any real-life countries, as well as the Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, etc simply don't exist. But how does it work?

---

First things first

- The No. 1 rule in roleplay and worldbuilding is consent. So before you go and declare war on other countries, you need to understand that in order to include other countries into your roleplay, worldbuilding and lore, you have to get their permission to do so! That's why Anterian roleplay isn't just only acting and reacting, but often creating and discussing scenarios and events together with other members. Of course, foreign policy that includes other nations like for example travel bans, condemnations, or embargoes, which don't necessarily have to directly harm or generally affect the nation, are an exception.

- Since this is a realtime RP in 2021, please stay realistic, especially when worldbuilding and roleplaying military. If you don’t know what is realistic and what’s not, just ask the Director of Roleplay (DoRP), a Councilor, or someone with enough knowledge to advise you.

- In order for roleplay-posts to be canon, they have to be posted on the Regional Message Board (RMB), even if you already posted it in #today-in-anteria on the regional Discord!

---

How does one start roleplaying?

That is fairly simple. Whenever a new nation joins the roleplay, everyone acts like they have always existed. That way people are free to create their lore as they wish. If you don't know what to post or want to contact other roleplayers on a simpler way than having to write telegrams, there are several channels on our regional Discord server dedicated to roleplay and worldbuilding, which is why I highly recommend joining it!

On the other side, whenever a nation leaves the roleplay, may it be due to inactivity and CTEing (Nations "cease to exist" after 28/60 days of inactivity on NationStates, depending on if they are on Vacation Mode or not), leaving Anteria, or the player changing their nation in the roleplay, everyone acts as if the nation never existed in the first place.

If you want to add some spice to your worldbuilding, you can also create a wikipedia-like article about your nation on a website called IIWiki. Don’t know how it works or how to start? Just ask Registrars or people with knowledge for help and take a look in #wiki-requests on Discord. We already have lots of articles, including one about Anteria itself! When looking at the iiwiki-page, you might notice that Anteria is treated as a planet in the "Tendor System", which means that planets like Mars don't exist and that our system looks different. Anteria is the name of the planet, similar to how our planet is called "Earth" or "Terra". Same goes with our irl countries. As England doesn't exist in our roleplay, the universal language is often referred to as "Common".

Now we get to the most complicated part of Anterian roleplay: War.
Anteria works so well because we have the rules stated here. And that also applies to roleplaying warfare. To prevent newer players from jumping into the RP and directly trying to start wars or similar, we have several rules in order to restrict warfare. One of those being that you as a new player are not allowed to start conflicts like wars (including insurgencies and civil wars) for the first 28 days of your stay in Anteria. That way, we can ensure that people get to know our RP and rules well enough instead of heading right into low-quality and/or badly prepared warfare roleplay.
Additional to that, in order to start wars, there should be some kind of buildup and casus belli (so a valid reason for war), instead of just declaring it out of the blue.

Those are just some examples, so please make sure to read the
Rules of War!

When talking about war history, we do have worldbuilt our own equivalent to the two irl World Wars; The Great War. In order to participate, I recommend contacting Zhousheng (Discord Fjana#6634).

The Map

Of course, roleplaying and worldbuilding without having an idea of where nations are is almost impossible. That is why we maintain a map of Anteria. In order to get a spot on the map, you have to claim the area you want your nation to be. You can do that by either downloading it or taking a screenshot (The latest map is linked on Anteria's World Factbook Entry, as well as in the #map-submissions channel on Discord), marking your claim (make sure it is reasonably sized and consider other maps like climate, tropical storms, etc.), and sending the claim to the Director of Cartography, Foxomexra, either by sending a telegram or posting the claim in #map-submissions on Discord.

When you have claimed a spot, your nation will be added in the next map update, which is every Wednesday and Saturday

White spots on the map are unclaimed land. It is complicated on how much one can interact with it, as there neither a void, nor complete anarchy with no governing structure, but rather some kind of governments noone can roleplay with, since there is no player to roleplay with. That also makes expansion of territory into unclaimed land for roleplay purposes a complicated topic, but not an impossible one. If you have something like that in mind for a roleplay idea, just talk with the Director of Cartography or Roleplay.

Need more information? Just read the Map Guide

The essentials of your worldbuillding

What you definitely need are the population and GDP of your country. Those are one of the most defining factors of how your country is gonna look like. Since NationStates-stats are highly unrealistic, you will have to come up with your own. For that I recommend the following:

1. Ask the cartographer Foxomexra about the size of your claim.
2. Settle on a population density, taking climate and other stuff into account.
3. Calculate your Population (Pop. Density × Size)
4. Settle on a GDP per capita (if you plan on being as wealthy as European nations, anything in a range of 10,000-45,000 ACU range is recommended, 50,000 ACU and above is quite wealthy, and countries even wealthier than that are usually smaller in population, like Switzerland, Qatar, Norway, etc.)
5. Calculate your GDP (GDP per capita × Population)

Please be reasonable with your nation's population density and most importantly GDP per capita. Trying to be a world-dominating economic power like the irl USA will not work!
For population density and GDP per capita, I suggest taking real-life countries as a reference. If you are wondering what “ACU” (or sign ₳) is, it’s an abbreviation for “Anterian Currency Unit”. Though it’s not a currency but only a unit of measurement for international trade. 1 ACU is 1 USD. Similar concept extends to the so called “Anterian Wealth Unit” (AWU, ￦), which is equal to one International (Geary–Khamis) Dollar and is used as a unit of measurement for the Purchasing power parity.

Slow Progress in Gorainz!

The Tiskai 20th Light infantry has been making slow progress in retaking Gorainz from the invaders, but the Shauntellerine forces are fighting desperately to hold the city. In some areas of fighting hand to hand combat has be reported. Despite this struggle, the 20th Light Infantry continues to push Shauntellerine forces west. Progress is slow and arduous, but it is progress nonetheless.

On a brighter note, the 7th Mechanized Division has been attached to the 1st VSR from their garrison in Belovorzhno in the northeast of the country. They are to assist the 2nd Motorized along with Krenyan and Qazhshavan forces on the front lines south of Gorainz.

| With the revolution in the nation of Isshiki, all the state entities of the old government came to our disposal as far as our influence reached in the pacified regions, however, the foreign sphere was a difficult one for the bureaucracy, especially the case of the embassies. This is the case in many nations, where our embassies are basically abandoned, occupied, or run by minorities of Isshies in the nation without government control. |

| But there is a special case, a case that brings us many problems, and that we cannot wait to silence and leave in the past. This is the case of our embassy in Kiyortza, where the local ambassador instead of fleeing, withdrawing from his position, or supporting our movement; has decided to support the rebellious nation of Tuaran in its attempt to gain independence from our great nation. |

| This symbolizes a substantial problem, since the ambassador Jaeig Kang, responds to the supposed president of Tuaran Hwan Jeong; and not only that, but it also spreads the separatist cause abroad, which already seems to have captivated the minds of people who believe everything they hear. This is a major problem, a problem that stands between us and national reunification, and therefore it must be put to an end. |

| The Revolutionary Senate has appealed to the justice of the nation of Kiyortza to arrest this agitator, and thus put an end to its endless rambbles on the liberation of a non-existent nation; and also put an ambassador that corresponds with the legitimate government of Isshiki. This is the only way to safeguard our nation from these troublemakers and ultimately bring a speech of peace and prosperity in Isshiki, and not one of separatism and anarchy. |
