[*]NationStates now allows SVG images for flags which means that you can have a pretty flag show up everywhere across the site without loss in quality when the image is re-scaled. Additionally, they have added a feature so you can see if someone has outbid you in the Trading Card mini game when you check your bids and auctions.

[*]Our forums are online, but unfortunately, we have lost a whole year of data. If you applied for citizenship between February 2020 and December 2020, make sure to [b]reapply[/b]. You may also have to recreate your account. Apologies for this inconvenience. The government will be working as quickly as possible to re-accept citizenship applications. (Disclaimer: this only applies if you were registered as a citizen in-between February 2020 and December 2020. If you have joined TCB after this time period you do not need to re-apply for citizenship) 
Please also make an account at [url=https://theredand.black/]https://theredand.black/[/url] so the transition to the NSLeft forum goes as smoothly as possible.
