About the OOC question:
I started with this nation-building thing many years before I found NS. It started when I saw these commercials in Cartoon Network around 2007 or so depicting all the classic characters living in a single city. It made me think: what if it was a real country somewhere? I drew an island on a piece of paper and said "this is the country of Cartoon Network". I imagined it as an island in the North Atlantic, halfway between New York and Terranova. Initially, it was completely outlandish: "they have these cool weapons and planes and stuff! They have colonies abroad and in outer space! (I was a dumb kid )" Over time, as I grew up, the thing became more like a real nation, and I started developing it accordingly (however, some things remain; the city names Peach Creek and Endville come from old Cartoon Network shows, for example ); I changed the name to Karnetvor, as it sounded kinda like the original word while sounding foreign at the same time. I adopted the Cyrillic script for its language and gave it a Slavic based culture, organized its government, territorial division, politics, and even imagined a civil war to see which ideology it would have. When I found NS, I found a base in which to pour all of that. I'm similar to Qwert in that regard. When I'm bored I daydream about different aspects of the country. "What would be the military ranks? Should I name the highest Field Marshal or General of the Army?" "Flags, coats of arms... how many has it ever had? I have some designs in my head" "How would Christmas dinner look like there?". Now I have the country's entire history in my head, and as I have started to write it down, I frequently think stuff like, "how did Karnetvor respond to that crisis?", "how did that war come to be?", usually with this guy's voice. @Qwert: What game is that? Sounds interesting
