Arctic Regional Message Board
In light of our recent n-day debacle, the Novozemlyan Ministry of Agriculture has produced a proposal for a Nuclear Operations Procedure Extraordinaire, called the NOPE:
1. Embrace guerrilla warfare. Hit and move.
Only join the faction when you are ready to launch nukes (or actively defend, see #6) . Never sit around in the faction doing nothing. It makes us an easy target, and there is no participation trophy. Spend most of your time under cover in a megafaction.
2. Hide in one of the megafactions. Stockpile nukes. Locate targets before leaving megafaction. Locate at least two targets.
3. Join Polar, target and launch immediately. Fire enough nukes at your targets to inflict more than 100 radiation combined. This way, if you are later destroyed you are still a net positive to our score.
4. Leave Polar as quickly as possible. Repeat step 2.
5. Strategic specialists should hide in a megafaction and stockpile shield. Join Polar at a quiet time and donate to the shield bank, then leave. Rinse, repeat.
6. When a nation in the faction is under attack while you are in a megafaction, join Polar to help out only if you have a realistic chance of success. Sometimes cutting our losses and losing one nation instead of two might be preferable.
7. Look for easy targets instead of trying to retaliate on stronger factions.
Thoughts?
Perhaps publish this advice again just before the next event

Classic Polar. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Generally yes, that's a solid strategy.
There's the theoretical issue of border control, though. I've kept Polar open to all nations to welcome Antarctica and others, but a passwordless faction is also open to ...suicide score bombing? (Nations joining without any intention to follow the NOPE or with the implicit goal of getting wiped out in Polar.) So its worth thinking if that's a real issue we're worried about and if yes then how we include nations from other regions while minimizing that risk.

There were a few nations this time that joined and just sat and got wiped out, does that score against us?
What's been going on?

Open question if anyone's interested: Which real-world country does your NS country most feel like?
Asking since I've always imagined and aspired for Maas to be a kind of "maritime Switzerland" (similar population size, democracy, devolution, small towns, orderly trains) but now going over my main policies and census categories (large but not huge population, nuclear weapons, massive cheese industry, overall culture, tourism, bikes over cars, secularism) it feels like I've created more of a "federal France" - which is also fine, all memes aside.
I also am inspired by Switzerland in the aspect of it once being Confederation but it keeping the Confederation title for historical reasons. Iceland in it having a similar population size and most of the population being located in one city, Greenland in the cultural aspect, and the process of how a bill becomes a law but apply it to government in the way I did it. Also ancient Athens in governance too and Sparta in how militaristic they were.
I answered my issues to my own preference but anything I couldn’t decide upon I answered by what legislation I thought would be passed in England
Mostly the nation turns out as inoffensive centrist but this being NationStates there are sometimes some surprise results to your answers
