The Soviet Republic of Meribia

#1
The Soviet Republic of Meribia is my longest-running nation in NationStates Europe, a communist dictatorship based on the Lunar series with hints of C&C: Red Alert and more anime & videogame cameos than you can shake an Apocalypse tank at. More recently I've thrown the entire nation of 100+ million citizens into the time loops, causing mass casualties and trolled rage.

For those of you interested in finding out just what the hell Meribia is in the first place, read on.

Has the game changed much? I couldn't get into it.

I also note that there are quite a few dictators online.

NSEurope or NationStates in general? We don't even bother using NS stuff anymore, the game's really gone downhill these days.

As for European Affairs, we kinda nuked the hell out of the old setting and had to reset the timeline. The new NSEurope Modern is radically different from NSEurope Classic, though a few things remain here and there.

NationStates in general. I got tired of just voting.
 
#6
NationStates is the same as ever, which is why most of us NSEurope boys have abandoned it. I hear the official RP forums got trashed for some reason, though.

Oh, and NationStates 2 died.

NS2 was a disaster. Jolt ignored the suggestions on the NS players, Barry (NS's creator) got in an argument with them, and it all went downhill.

In regards to NS it depends on what you're interested in. It's not all rotten.
 
#8
Meh.

Also, added some more names to the character list, in particular the Allman sisters (Reinforce's two incarnations from MGLN), Marko Ramius and the MiHA-251.
 
#9
I added a bunch of articles to the second post showcasing MSAF weapons and equipment as they were in NSEurope. What they develop in the time loops is another matter entirely.
