Here's a little thread for how your nations started and its history.
Name-How did you come up with your name (In RL) Introduction to NationStates-Did someone tell you about it or did you hear about it on the Internet? History-Do you have a history on NationStates?
Name: I came up with Clamparapa with my sister. We were playing a game where we come up with 3 or 4 letters at a time to spell a random word. We came up with Clamperrapa and I used that as my nation name. Of course I switched a few letters around so that it would be easier to pronounce.
Introduction to NationStates: One of my friends introduced me to NationStates. His nation is long gone, but I have remained on it.
History: The first region I was part of was the Conservative Bloc. It was small but the founder was a cool guy. We left and I soon joined one of the player created pacifics (No "The" in the name). A region called Bigtopia recruited there accidently and I joined them. It was a great region and we had so much fun. However, everyone seem to die off almost immediately. Now it is only me and another guy who are left. Then I waited around in one of the Pacifics and I was recruited here. The rest is History.

OK, this is cool! I came up with the Skydiving Penguins because penguins are awesome. I tried "The Republic of the Penguins", but someone already had it. So, I exited out of NS to think of a name. My screensaver is a picture of my brother "skydiving" (it was actually a picture my dad took, and he copied and pasted a picture of him and put him in) That is when it hit me. The Republic of the Skydiving Penguins! Intro to NS: I was looking for a game online, and came across it. I am so glad I did! History: Well, I arrived in the South Pacific, which was extremely boring! About 5 minutes later, Sir Metz recruited me to Hyrule, BY FAR the best region in the game!

Hear, Hear!
Immediately after coming from the 'pit' of The North Pacific, I was recruited by either Ness or Voltigeur (Ignatius at the time) to join Hyrule, the greatest place to RP. While I deleted my first account on Hyrule's Forum, I soon came back to NS by sheer boredom, resurrecting Zenhex II and creating Northwest-Prussia for the RP factor.

Name: Soggy Pita Bread. I got this name from a bet my friends gave me. They'd give me 5 bucks for each piece of soggy pita bread ( someone accidentally pushed it into the pool.)I could eat in three minutes. I won myself 20 bucks. They were whole circles! Yes, it's pretty sad.
Intro to NS: Bored one day, looking for a good RPing game online.
History:Arrived in the East Pacific, then Sir Metz recruited me.

Name: My nation name isn't original at all. I got Mayohiga from a place featured in one of the Touhou Project games, a village into which lost travelers inevitably wander. So it sort of fits with Hyrule, being a placename from a video game series.
Intro: I heard about NS a few years ago and recently returned after a long time away.
History: I just knew about Hyrule and decided to drop in.

My nation's name came from me trying to make up something that no one else had taken. I eventually decided to throw together some random letters, and I liked 'k' that day. And so Nakarak was born.
Found NS through the magic of Google.
Logged into the game, solved an issue, then was recruited to Hyrule. Voila! I'm here!

Post by Soviet East Africa - 10KI on Jun 10, 2007 7:15:35 GMT -5
Well I'm going to do it for my main nation Soviet-Prussia.
I thought of the name in school when I was making Soviet-Russia jokes with my best friend. Then it led to us making jokes about the idea of Soviet-Prussia. After school I created the nation.
The same friend told me about NS 3 years ago. Since then I've made many nations which rose and fell as I got interested in and bored of NS in turn. My first nation accumulated 2 billion ppl before it CTE'd.
On the 31st of March, I created Soviet-Prussia. I moved into the region Germany where I had an argument with the locals causing me to leave the region. I made my way to 10000 Islands where I am today. Since that day, I've joined many groups within the region and taken up lots of jobs including being ambassador to Hyrule

Well, my brother created this nation because he found NationStates through some webforum back in 2003. Super Mario Bros. was actually my first nation, but when my brother got bored of NS he gave me his nation, named after his favourite video game characters. I stayed in a few small regions before moving to Hyrule in 2004 or so. Then I became delegate in 2005, and the rest is history.

Well now...I'll have to think about all of this for a moment Let's see... My nation is Porcu and that's simply my last name stuck to then end of "The Empire of" I found NS much like Nakarak, through the magical powers of google... And so much has happened to me here in Hyrule. I joined late 2005 and have, hopefully , become an integral part of this region. I spend most of my time roleplaying and my greatest achievement would be when I created the Hyrulean Treaty Organization (HTO). The rest, as Ness stated, is history...

Post by Kritschboilek on Jun 28, 2007 13:41:13 GMT -5
Okay as everyone has posted, I feel obliged to do so too... It all began with Bushtarion, a MMOTBS which I have been playing since 2004. On its forum I saw in someone's signature a link to Zelderex, a MMORTS which I eventually stopped playing. The header of the Zelderex site (at that time, that is) had advertisements, and one of them was ... NationStates! And so I though about trying it out too, and I registered. For my nation's name I was thinking at something I heard in psychology, the words 'Cratchac' and 'Loomalah' (the idea is, one will automatically associate the former with sharpness, while the latter will be associated with smoothness), and so 'Kritschboilek' was born! Then, on the same day, about two minutes later, I received a message from Ness and moved to Hyrule. I joined the forum, introduced myself, then began RPing (at that time it was still quite active), joined the forum games, went on to become Vice-Secretary of State, later Grand Judge (I hopefully should not remind you all to the now infamous prohibition of beer, which was met with widespread horror and fear), later a second term as Grand Judge, then Minister of Immigration, then Judge, then Chancellor of Justice, then again Chancellor of Justice, and now as a simple member. To date, I am still hoping one day for a re-introduction of a general prohibition of beer. But until today, every single attempt has failed. And because of that, I will now officially announce: A NEW PROHIBITION OF BEER Thank you ladies and carrots, have a good day

Post by South Malaysia on Jul 2, 2007 2:44:58 GMT -5
Name: South Malaysia, which is an off shoot from East Malaysia. The name is very easy. A direction stuck in front of "Malaysia." Introduction to NS: On the wonderful day of May 27th, 2004 East Malaysia was brought into this world by his loving parents; EM&EM. They had their child, East Malaysia, also called EM by many in the lovely beautifultashious land of The East Pacific. As Ness said, "and the rest is history." South Malaysia became of Hyrule in OCT 2005, 640 days ago as a clone of EM as SM & EM. History - East Malaysia has a history. The East Malaysia Factbook [In Development] v1.0 has history, religion, and language so far completed. South Malaysia is included in some of that...>XD. z7.invisionfree.com/East_Malaysia/index.php South Malaysia may never see its own Factbook due to the fact that East Malaysia has triple of what SM has in RPtime on a bad day. Maybe a Factfile. Edit: I changed where the EMfactbook was over night, I think it will look much better with its change.
