Well, it's unlikely that the setting will be (if there is one) based on the real world. However, even so, I think you can come up with a few interesting features.

I don't know how one could create a fantasy setting based on Nations. But it's unlikely to be based on the real world; rather, it would be based on a similar real world with some differences in terms of technology, biological species, and so on – something like a very, very alternative history.

Well, I also hope that Revan won't create an expansion based on current times, but rather set it in the future or a fantasy setting.
Revan mentioned that the year of the setting is 2015, and most likely, the setting will be almost identical to our reality, with the exception of the states.
How to create the setting?
Various details are not so important; in the worst case, they can be saved in a factbook or one's own memory, and the setting will be based on various parameters + possibly some introductory information from the creator of the state, such as: "My country is a land of freedom with the legalization of gay marriage and a ban on religion; everyone else is an idiot, etc."

Well, I don't know. If you still have to write the introductory part yourself, then what's the point of Nationstates? To take some numbers from there? The developer himself says that the meaning of the game is not at all in the numbers.
There's no micro-management in NationStates! You control your nation by making broad policy decisions, not tweaking numbers.

You don't even need to write an introduction. I don't think it will matter to most people that everyone in this country is watching cat memes, except maybe for Mental.

What do cats have to do with it? :eek:

For example, cars are completely banned in the country. It doesn't seem like much. But that means ambulances also have to do without cars. How should a doctor get to a patient? It seems strange to use a bicycle. Maybe on horseback, and the country has a developed horse-drawn transport system?
And what about firefighters, and pizza deliveries? :)

Or the country is ruled by a sect, and "God's will" is often the cause of death. Dark deeds. :smile19:
All this adds depth to the setting; you can even create a mission about it if you want.

On the one hand, Revan is a person with a good imagination. On the other hand, it seems to me that all this was conceived so that everyone could fantasize about their own country, somehow help in writing the setting. And nationstates simply directs the imagination in the right direction.

Or maybe I'm wrong. Revan will write everything himself, and these countries will simply be a starting point for his imagination.

often, the cause of death is attributed to "God's will."
According to an online translator, this translates to "accident."

Has fantasy already become tiresome for everyone?
Hero, what blasphemous words! You should be punished for saying that.

But in general, religion is interestingly implemented here. I need to explore it further. As I understand it, there is "religiosity" in the statistics (or rather, the opposite, "godlessness" – how should I translate that?) and "superstition" (Primitiveness) separately. I don't quite understand why, in an atheistic country, the second indicator is significantly different from zero, leaning towards "present."

I have cars banned. But I think the creator of this issue meant a ban on personal cars. The ban does not apply to special services.

It does. There will be an issue with a proposal to return the cars to the police, have them engage in sports, or have the police ride national animals. Just imagine – police officers riding on women!
For example, cars are completely banned in the country.
This is, for example, easy to see, for example. Refresh the page a few times, for example, and reread the first line, for example.
The Rogue Nation of Steelmen is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare.
The last three points, for example, change according to the laws passed, for example. Not for everyone, of course, but only for the most significant ones, for example, the ban on cars, for example.

Ah, I understand.
accident - несчастный случай
act of god - стихийные бедствия

I would like to note, for example, that my friends and I spent a long time pondering this. For example, on my main nation with high religiosity, there are many more deaths from ACTS OF GOD than in countries with low religiosity. Ultimately, in my opinion, the most plausible theory is this: some unconscious citizen does not pay taxes, or does not attend the mandatory prayer service on time, or tells a joke about the ruler of the state, and then unexpectedly a brick falls on his head, or he drowns while swimming on the beach, and people say - "God punished him." But this is just my version, for example.

It's just stupid to prohibit emergency vehicles from using the same lanes as private vehicles. Especially considering their small number compared to the first...

It's just stupid to ban emergency vehicles at the same time as personal vehicles. Especially considering their minuscule number compared to the former...
There's nothing you can do about it; that's just how the initial issues are. You might as well say it's stupid that one of them offers you the choice of either banning divorces, legalizing same-sex marriages, or forcing spouses to call each other "darling" on a mandatory basis. Or maybe your animal rights activists have rebelled, and you have two choices: either imprison them or give in to their demands. In short, enjoy the quality.
