Jennifer Government

I’ve been playing this neat online game called Jennifer Government: Nation States. The website’s purpose is to sell a book, but the game is very neat. I’m tempted to order the book too. Anyways, it’s pretty simple. You create your own country and issues come to you about once per day. You can choose how to resolve the issue, multiple choice style, and your country is shaped by the choices you make. It’s extremely easy yet intellectually fascinating and satisfying at the same time. The time it costs to play is up to you; you can leave it for a week or two, check in every day, or even go further by participating in forum role playing (which I haven’t done).

The URL is http://nationstates.net/ and you can check out The Kingdom of Gutshot by clicking “The World” and doing a find for “Gutshot” at the bottom. Create a nation and then send me a telegram because I’m lonely!
