So what is this?
[INDENT]Jennifer Government: NationStates is a nation simulation game. You create your own country, fashioned after your own ideals, and care for its people. Either that or you deliberately torture them. It's really up to you.[/INDENT]
Is it really free?
[INDENT]Yes, it really is.[/INDENT]
Is it a serious political thing, or just for fun?
[INDENT]Well, you can play it either way. NationStates does have humorous bent, but that's just because international politics is so inherently funny.[/INDENT]
How do I play?
[INDENT]Click on the Create a Nation link and follow it from there. You'll be asked to choose a name for your nation, a motto, a national animal, and a currency. Then you answer a short questionnaire about your politics. This will determine what sort of nation you end up with: authoritarian or permissive... left-wing or right-wing... compassionate or psychotic... you get the idea.
Once a day, you'll be faced with an issue, and need to make a decision as to what to do about it. This determines how your nation evolves.
[/INDENT]
Which region should my nation be in?
[INDENT]It's up to you. New nations begin in the Pacific, but you can move out. You can even start your own region. This is a good idea if you're playing with a few friends: create a region and all move there. To do this, visit your current region's page and click the link that says, "Tired of life in (your region)? Then move to a new region!"[/INDENT]

Let's do it...it doesn't sound too involving, once a day you answer a question about politics in your new born nation (or ignore it !)
That could be funny.

Quote:The Confederacy of Ntype is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 18%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ntype's national animal is the monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the mfm.
