Yeah, you can attack other nations through RP (roleplay), bascially you control the actions of your own military forces, people, diplomats, and other things involving your nation.

You could lower civil rights by answering issues. Unfortunately, I don't have the issues answer key, but I think some older people here would.

After 3 long years of inactivity I have chosen to come back. Maybe this can be my permanent home or maybe it won't be, I suppose we'll just have to see, eh?

Special Question of the Day:

When was your nation founded, and what is its current population? Feel free to answer with both in character and out-of-character information!
(You can check your founding date on your forum profile page or, I believe, possibly the Boneyard?)

My answer:
Today is a special day for Tethys 13, as it is the 17th anniversary of its creation on this website, and by staggering coincidence, it has also reached a population of 33 billion today!
In-character, 33 billion works, but the Tethysi do not precisely know when they first began, or where their planet once lay, despite their obsession with written records. It is one of the most fanatically pursued research topics in the nation, with hundreds of millions of Tethysi at the least spending their lives searching for answers. The Master Clock in the pocket dimension they were reborn in has reached a display of 17,000,000,000 seconds, however, truly a moment for grand celebration.

10 years 284 days ago my nation was founded. Population currently at 3.997 Billion, bout to hit the big 4. Started using this site in my pre-teens due to an extensive OBSESSION with anything WW2 related but more so anything history related too. Me from the past would probably be proud of my "somewhat" pervasive knowledge when it comes to history nowadays. I can remember not using this website for years and suddenly choosing to bring this nation back randomly. Probably gonna be more casual and less serious than I used to be but I like the idea of using this as a creative outlet for me as I have been looking for means to do so as of late. This website always gave me a sense of community in a town where I didn't feel accepted for liking "boring history books," and I think that is something I will always hold onto.
Mael Radec: "The founding of our illustrious albeit down-trodden nation was the result of the Petrusite bombing of our home world. Our people, the Helghan race were scattered, unsure of the future. However this is no issue in reality, as overcoming hardship for a citizen of the Helghast is like that of the ancient societies of man, we will re-establish justice for our fallen leader Visari and many more from his inner circle! Failing simply is not built into the Helghast mind-set. Death is the only end to war, and thus the people of Vekta will die off, and our people shall continue; the elimination of the human race is necessary for galactic peace! The Hegemony of the Helghast people has begun with this declaration of war against all Human societies!

You need to lower Political freedom, not civil rights. We have low civil rights but we do are not a dictatorship and we do not condone one in our glorious nation as it makes our government too dangerously corrupt.

My glorious nation was founded on Mon Nov 07, 2022 at 10:24 am. That was a very good moment in my life for that is when i found this beautiful game. And amazingly, our population is at 599 million, almost to 600 million! (Btw Tethys, you are awesome! Keep it up! I love tuning in to answer the question of the day! Keep posting them!)

Question of the Day:

Does your nation have any holidays or traditions involving gift giving?

Tethys 13 wrote:

My answer:
Those orders most interested in emulating the Armada of the past often have particular days when its members bring the glories they have won and offer them to the order in general. This inspired other orders to begin a tradition of exchanging curios and other oddities found while exploring or granted as rewards for achievements, which eventually became a nationally recognised holiday, Honourfest, though different Grand Libraries host it at different times.
