I'm not particularly knowledgeable on it either, but from my understanding NationStates has multiple filled with massive tables of data (I believe one of the moderators said that a single table worth of data was one to ten million rows). One of these disks failed abruptly, bringing the entire website with it a short time later. The data on the disks was lost, and for ten days the admin/tech team worked to attempt to restore the data, and when that failed, to reconstruct as much data as possible before bringing the site back online. As of right now, most of the site is functional, but some areas are still wonky. If you come across one, simply ignore it and turn your attention to a different aspect of the site. There's plenty to still do!

You seem to understand quite a bit.
Unfortunately it seems the rate of which I get issues as decreased, so I have to wait a bit for them. I’m trying to figure out how Hell would be as a nation.

On my other account (--annoyance-) I have played for a year on -annoyance-

Hey- I'm a new nation and new to the region but I've played a lot before so I do have some experience.

And it’s my nation -annoyance- first bday soon, I started about a year ago with -annoyance- being my first nation

This is not true. Population growth is constant no matter your policies, growing at the rate of two billion every year.

I assumed issues affected that. I’m currently at 5 million.
Also, what happened, several nations just vanished?

The population stats has no actual gameplay effect. It can only be increased by how long your nation existed, and increases at a fix rate I think around before 1 billion, then it increases randomly within a very small difference afterwards at a steady rate.
Nations will cease to exist and go to the graveyard if you don't login to them after a certain period of time. You can resurrect your nation by logging in them again as long as the nation name has not been claimed by someone else yet while the nation ceased to exist. Nations that existed for a long enough period cannot have their name be taken by people making new nations.

Well, I just logged on and I now had 46 messages here.
Anyway, welcome to the LKE!
I'm Hekp (the best nation here), and it's great to have you here!

If you don't log in for 28 days (or 60 with vacation mode), your nation gets automatically deleted. Once it is deleted, you can restore it within 5 years, before the name becomes available for new nations again. However, if you have more than 1 billion population, your nation name is forever reserved for you.

What we just saw is that a few inactive nations got deleted. This can happen during each World Assembly (WA) update, which happens every 12 hours. These updates basically refresh all aspects of the game that can change - like statistics, WA resolutions, the position of WA Delegate, and whether or not a nation remains in the game depending on when they last logged in.

Ah. Makes sense. Reminds me to log onto here at least once a day when I am busy.

Ah. So I should be at a few more million tomorrow?
