Judge:

Welcome to Nation State Draft 2. This draft will be very similar to the first one but with a few additions and changes. In this draft, just like the last one, each contestant will choose NINE individuals to found their nation with an emphasis on structure and coherence.



HOWEVER, the difference between this draft and the last is the end game. Implementing a suggestion by our last winner Jasi, this is how your nations will be tested.

First, the Judge (or me, if no one wants to be judge) will rank all eight nations based on the following criteria:

1. Citizen Happiness Index (Are your citizens satisfied?)
2. Defense (How will you survive around warmongering neighbors?)
3. Economy (Free market? Mercantilist? Centrally planned?)
4. Political Stability (Are your individuals backstabbers or team players?)
5. Human Rights (Self Explanatory)

Then, a tournament will take place pitting the top seeds against the bottom seeds in a single elimination match. The advantage of being a top seed is you can pick whether your nations will:

1. Go to war with each other
2. Send a delegation to a visiting alien council to try and achieve most favored nation status against your opponent.

The strategy behind this is that if you decide to build a military powerhouse, you will probably get ranked lower and never get to go to war. And of course your generals are far less effective in diplomatic negotiations. On the other hand, if you pick only hippie artists and philosophers who might have great works of art and literature to influence the aliens, you might lose out to an equally talented nation who has military talent.



You still get a chance to draft a geographical country based on current country locations to start your nation. You can now choose any mixture of TWO natural landmarks (Niagra Falls, Mount Everest) or natural resources (diamonds, oil) to present to the alien nation during your tournament. Everyone still gets equal population.


Similar to the music draft, you can let your creative juices flow as to how you want to structure your government. Every single human being born is free to be chosen.

Overall just have fun and check the thread often, this stuff depends on everyone remaining active.


Standard snake draft formula. 12 Hours wait time for the first round and 8 Hours after that. If you don't show for the first round you might get replaced. PM me picks if you think you won't be able to make it for the time limit and if I don't pick before you.

A picture and short explanation is strongly recommended. At least for the first few rounds.

[Abd El-Krim]

I had a lot of fun with this last time and like the new wrinkle, but don't have the time to participate. I think I'll just lurk and mock people. Mostly vapid, for being a biased judge.

[Jasi]

Count me in

[Black Joker]

i guess i'll throw my hat into the ring.

[Rizko]

I'm down for a draft.

[vapid]

First person to respond in this thread to play, and left off the list... I guess I'll just go fuck myself.

You have low post count and I sense that you might be an alt, so I held back on including you for now.

Doesn't look like theres enough interest. I'll add those other people that showed interest but that still doesn't even get there. Probably the holidays.

[Jailblazers7]

I'll give it a go.

[Jailblazers7]

Rizko said he would join but isn't on the list. With him we would only need 1 more. Actually Anit Hero would make 8 but I don't know if you want to wait and see if others show interest.

Didn't anti hero basically admit he's an alt? And magnax here is a link to the last draft:
