For stats I recommend using two different tools. For economical data I recommend NSEconomy since it seems to be the best, while for military stats I recommend NSTracker since it gives realistic figures and also breaks the military down by branch rather than just a total number of military personnel. |

Sorry for the double post, but I'd like to try and revive this discussion. So, The question would be, what sort of role-plays would you be interested in? Personally I'd like some wars here and there and I even have one idea prepared for some point in the future

I also like to use NSEconomy a lot as a general guide to my nations' stats. However, I don't quite follow it exactly, I don't consider my population to be so high as it says on that, for example. I agree Grobladonia that I think a few wars can make things interesting ![]() But I have other ideas for roleplays that might be fun: -Sports roleplays, I can't believe I forgot to mention this one in my OP, but we could have DSA football cups, or any other sporting event. -Treaties and international laws, kind of like with the general assembly on nationstates, but on a smaller scale and just for the DSA. -Natural disasters and the relief effort. -Pandemics, like with the zombie virus ![]() -International summits and state visits. -Royal weddings, for people who have monarchy, I know Haltari does

Actually, I would just encourage anyone to post any kind of event that is going on in their nation in this forum. You never know who else might like to get involved with it and roleplay with you. |

I really like that this is picking up! I had been trying to develop the concept of trade agreements in NS back in the second Cabinet as a sort of extension of WA activities and also a way to counter the WTO and to educate players about the impact of trade on civil rights, the environment, and political freedoms (and the economy of course ). I will begin to draft something after I've finished the proposed changes to the Charter. Hopefully we can finally get this off the ground! I was thinking of developing a free-trade agreement between participating nations of the DSA that people can sign, but it would be based upon things like upholding worker rights, environmental protection, improving the quality of life of people, etc. in opposition to the RL free trade agreements that are designed to ruin unions and create a race-to-the-bottom in terms of environmental quality, wages, and civil rights. I look forward to collaborating with you all on this - I think it can be a lot of fun and educational as well. I also like the idea of having our own interregional organization like the WA, but for our own region, or perhaps to include nations in our ally regions as well. I think it will be of some comfort to those who are frustrated by the WA being so ideologically disparate from us at times, and perhaps a sort of laboratory for developing legislation that can also be submitted to the WA for approval (we already have a few of those workshops here in the forum). I also plan to develop a narrative around the recent shuffling of the nations of Cluj Napocea and Onirianc, as well as another big surprise coming up soon for the Suceavijan Commonwealth of Nations and a roll-out of some new features for Suceavija's factbook. I think Herrebrugh would also get a kick out of partaking in some of the royal activities - his factbook has a very detailed account of his nation's monarchy. Edited by Suceavija, 15 May 2013, 02:51.

I'm sorry for butting in on this since I'm a recent member but I'm also interested in participating in this RP. My question: Am I going to have to opt-in for a spot on the map? Since it's being planned that the geography is going to relate to the factors of other DSA nations, I think I would like to stake a claim if I can. And I also apoligize for my non-existent factbook in NS, I promise I'll try to get on that X( |

Being on the map will probably be needed for stuff like invasions, but I don't think it's necessary for all types of RP. Still, I think it's nice to have a physical representation of you nation regardless of RPs :). |

Well then, if nothing else is needed to be said at the moment. When can we start an official thread to get this started?

Well, Lemur Isles did mention that he'd be busy in this period so I fear he won't be doing it just yet, but I'll send him a telegram about this soon. Also, Suceavija mentioned a plan for a leftist free-trade agreement RP, but that would come out only once he finishes work on the Charter overhaul. I'd start one myself but I have very little direct experience with RPs so I'd probably just blow it if I tried. I'll see what I can do though. |

Suceavija, I like your thinking, that's exactly the kind of thing that I think could be really fun and popular here. I think your idea to make a sort of free trade agreement that guarantees fair trade is great (too bad it's not the case in the real world ). Sodankyla, I don't see why you wouldn't want to be on the map. Personally, I find it helpful to visualise my nation and make a backstory for it, but if you do have a backstory already, it should be easy enough to mould it to fit your nation as it exists on the map. About developing this free trade roleplay we were talking about, I've told Grobladonia via telegram that I'm very busy right now with my final exams, so I'm not in a position to lead any roleplays about it. My exams won't be finished until late June, so please don't just wait on my account. I would urge you guys to just take initiative, and begin roleplays of your own, and you might also want to appoint a new roleplay coordinator if it is necessary. I'll probably be popping in occasionally, so I might be able to give some advice if needed, but I don't have the time to actually take part in any roleplays. |
