NationStates 2
Max Barry, author of the brilliant satire Jennifer Government and creator of the game NationStates have announced that NationStates 2 is nearing release;
“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 have been playing NationStates for some time now, but the beauty of it is the minimal amount of effort you need to put into it so I’m not sure I will continue. Still, it’s a pretty cool thing.
