NationStates 2: Coming Soon!
I know a bunch of you just choked on your wheat flakes, but it's true:
NationStates 2 is happening. It's taken five years of discussion,
plans, tears, hopes, trials, and floundering, but at last it's come
together: I have the right people working on the right design.
Five years ago, I created this site, NationStates, in my spare time,
never expecting it to find the popularity it has. I actually designed
it to be a passing fancy, something you might find fun for a little
while, then move on.
With NS2, the design from day one has been all about longer-term
gameplay. While the core principles of NationStates haven't
changed—micromanagement is still a dirty word, diplomacy is
the focus, and customization rules—NS2 greatly expands your
nation's ability to affect its world. It's all about giving you
top-level control and letting you take your nation wherever the hell you
want.
I'm thrilled about this. I hope you are, too. For more information,
