I think it's Factbook entries since it has the same icon and checking your nation, you do have 1 Factbook entry.

Who here knows of the Byzantine Empire?

It's a place that used to exist around Greece and Turkey. What about it?

Germane third reich wrote:Who here knows of the Byzantine Empire?

The Eastern Roman Empire? I think most people have at least heard of it.

I find this interesting: All of the nations that did have ranks in the "best nation" race happened to be countries I've been frequently logging in and out of, which would be four, not including Squeeheart. Of the four, Trace was the least best and Redfell is the best of my countries. What interests me though is that Trace is in the hundred-thousands, while Redfell is within the top four-thousand, surpassing even Trotterdam. I'm a bit flabbergasted by this. None of my other countries in this event (Fondheart and Acrovania.) are even close to Redfell's supposed glory.

I got 3,108th Best Nation in the World and the 4th Best Nation in Pony Lands.

What place did you guys get?

Reformed equestria

Came 2nd place in Pony Lands and 1,372nd in the World.

Squeeheart wrote:surpassing even Trotterdam

Hearing someone be surprised he ranked higher than me makes me even happier than my actual ranking does :)

Keep in mind, 829257 total votes, over the current NationStates population and taking into account that each vote is between two nations, means an average of 6-7 votes per nation. Practically, some nations had more votes than others, but even so, with that few votes, I'd say that while making it into the top 10% or so is possibly something to be proud of, your exact positioning within the top 10% isn't particularly meaningful.

Lunar sudmareica

Made it to 11th in the Pony Lands and 12,761st in the world.

Number 1 in Pony Lands, babyyyyyy! Briefly rose into the top 100 of all nations, but finished at 792nd.

(RP)
the anocratic empire of Bigpipstan is announcing that it has founded it's first colony in outer space.
The colony in question is on a ocean planet named Athengrid. (map) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BLGGONsJ-J0Vm5p_ickfGAqjX21yjVYG/view?usp=sharing

It's waters are still unexplored, so everypony eager to explore them is welcome to do so!

Cool.

I'm gonna have the Byzantine Empire return after World War I/First Great World War, albeit with a territory encompassing only Constantinople.

Methinks it be called the Constantinople City-State or something.

How does a long-dead nation just "return"? People are unlikely to suddenly decide that out of all the political reforms they could decide to implement, resurrecting the outdated laws and customs of a centuries-old former empire that none of them even properly remember is the right way to go.

Trotterdam My guess is that it is out of nostalgia. The kind of nostalgia that nationalists and fashists hang on to. Out of believe that we should return to the "good old days". Some people would rather live in a idolized vision of the past, so they try to bring the past back.

Just an FYI: Squeeheart has resigned from the World Assembly. I've been meaning to do that for a long time, but finally got around to it. The reason is simple: I rarely log in with this nation to begin with, mainly because I don't do as many MLP-related things before and I have other nations I log into more frequently. World Assembly membership would be more appropriate with one of those often-checked-on countries instead. Not sure if I'll still be having a WA nation in the Pony Lands or not.

That sounds about right with Germane Third Reich/Novaya Equestria. Personal political opinions beside, this situation would probably make more sense if there was a believable story surrounding the decision for which people in the region are trying to bring back the Byzantine Empire and/or traditions. Nationalists and fascists would most likely be in favor of something like this though. I don't know much of anything about the Byzantine, but I doubt they would be anything like the modern societies of today. At the very least, not the good parts about modern societies today.

Of course, what they're likely to end up with is some completely new thing that resembles the past in name only.

Makes sense, considering the show ended a year and a half ago.

happy International Workers' Day everyone!

Actually, the laws will be updated to modern standards, and some or most customs will have to be reformed or abolished. And for that question, by demands and treaty. In my universe, the Turks hesitantly agreed to the Novayans' demands to restore the Byzantine Empire, which now solely consist of Constantinople. Though it comes with a series of unnecessary arguments on how best the Byzantine Empire, or just Byzantium, be brought back and why it needed to be brought back.

What about a foreign nation (the Novayan Commonwealth) that sought to bring back the Byzantine Empire (again, its only territory is in Constantinople)?
