Create your own country, shape its policies and society, draft a constitution, choose an economic system, and respond to random events to grow your nation over time.
NationStates is a free online nation simulation browser game where players can create and run their own country. When you first join NationStates, you are asked to write a short constitution laying out the basic principles of your nation. Based on this, the game generates some baseline policies and demographic data for your country.
As a leader of your NationStates country, players make decisions in response to random daily issues that are presented. These issues cover topics like economics, civil rights, healthcare, crime and punishment, foreign affairs, and more. Your decisions shape the political system, society, economy, and global relations of your nation over time. Nations also have certain statistical modifiers that change based on your choices.
Beyond shaping your country, NationStates allows for interactive roleplaying with other nations through regional gameplay. Nations can join existing regions or create their own to collaborate or compete with other countries in the same region. There are also options for drafting and approving regional laws.
With frequent issue generation and constant involvement needed from players, NationStates provides a detailed and evolving nation simulation experience for free. Leaders can guide their countries for years and observe how political decisions alter their society and standing in the NationStates world over time.
