I'm not sure if this can be considered a game or not, but it certainly is as fun as one.

NationStates

Basically, you create a country, choose a name, flag, currency, national animal etc. and answer some questions about your politics. Then it will determine what the country looks like.

After that, every week-day (this can be changed in Settings) an issue appears, and you can choose how to solve it. If you don't like any of the options, you can simply dismiss the issue.

It isn't very time-consuming, so you should try it out.

I did this game with my college dorm section a couple of years ago. We arranged about twenty nations into a region and had fun with it for a while. We gew weary of it after a while, though. To sap the last bit of enjoyment out of this game, we decided to move into another region that was much larger then ours (since such a move is never restricted), and we all voted for a single member of our region to become the leader, effectively conquering the region known as the "100 regions of conquest". It was good fun. I'd post the screenshot I took of it if I weren't a few hundred miles away from the computer that it's on.

I've been playing this recently. It's pretty fun, and the issues to deal with can be really weird. It's also fun to read your nation description, since the facts about your nation you put in at the beginning don't always fit the script that puts them in the description.

I started playing today, as the Empire of Dugandy, we are evil people, and funnily enough, our national animal, the dungeon roach, is close to extinction.

I joined The Eighth just now.

I don't understand what happened.

I applied for the UN, and when I got the E-Mail I followed the link, but nothing happened, I'm not in the UN.
Does anyone know what I should do.

Doesn't matter now, I figured it out.
