anyone else playing this? it's a strategy-browsergame, where people can join a nation, and become politicans, join the military, run a business, become a media mogul and of course fight wars.
the game itself only requires a few clicks a day to play, shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. the fun comes with all the drama, flame wars, conspiracies, scams and of course the wars. so i highly recommend reading local news ingame, forums and if possible irc as well.
the whole asian region is some sort of large battleground, i heared groups of players from somethingawful, /b/, etc played a big role in this. not sure if this is true. egermany was almost completely wiped of the map, and recently started winning their regions back with the help of some allies. and currently there are rumors that hungary, one of the strongest countries, is planning an attack on the usa.
the current world map can be found here:

i am currently a congress member of northkorea, and the german ambassador. started here only a couple months ago together with a group of people from the fires of heaven boards. we successfully defeated the first hungarian takeover attempt, and now also signed an mutual protection pact with the usa (yes, you heard right). we also have a number of commies in nk who provide alot of entertainment within national news.
we even have recently started a national propaganda competition. so let me show one example:

it maybe takes a while to get to grips with the game, but i recommend trying it out.
some more shameless self promotion

oh, hungary is currently taking scottland, and indonesia is about to take a region from japan to invade hawaii. so the usa is soon going to be attacked by 2 of the largest nations. they have just warned their allies to prepare for the big war.

a few tips for those who started playing, get a q1 job for the start, it drains less wellness. the first couple levels you can't do much besides working/training once a day. buy q2 food for now if you can. leveling speeds up once you are able to fight in wars. you will need to be above 40 wellness to fight. make sure you are living in a region with a q5 hospital fighting will drain 10 wellness each time, a 5star hospital heals 50 wellness, so basicall you can fight 5 times a day and make lots of cash.
don't bother buying weapons yet. and don't spend your gold foolishly :P
if enough people are interested, we could probably start a polycount party.

@00Zero: that would be kind of hard to do. you would have to take control of some low population country first. but chances are we would get curbstomped by some allied countries for pulling of such a stunt
