"I agree," mused sociology professor Billy-Bob Licorish. "But I don't think the protestors are going far enough. Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory. Nudity is highly liberating. And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all."

You know guys, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm already bored with NS. It's just the same game I played 5 years ago, and that's not getting my motor running.

However... there IS a NationStates 2. I just checked it out and it's way different from NS1, with things like diplomacy, trading, economy and wars hard-coded into the game itself, it's not just for show.

Since we're all pretty much just starting out again, I think we should all migrate over to NS2 before we put too much effort into our NS1 nations.
