Uhhh, this game vastly predates Facebook.

I had a nation ages ago. Gormengast, so it must have been post-2003.

Huh. Will see if mine can be recovered... I had close to a billion people before, IIRC.

Are they not activating accounts or something?

I never could figure out what email Gormengast was associated with, back in the day...

Aha.

And oops - I found the old thread in the archive (edit: http://www.mafiascum.net/archive/viewtopic.php?t=575 ). Turns out I was misspelling my nation's name the wrong way. Will try again...

Reaaaaally. Fascinating, as it shows up for me just fine every time, even if I'm not logged in (so it's not a permission issue). Do you get that clicking my link above?

Yes (using IE), but I just pasted it into Firefox and it worked fine.

That's odd; for the record, I just tried loading that page in IE/XP and it worked fine. I can't imagine why a table/mod would care what browser you were using...

Ghormenghast was ranked in the Top 10% of the world for Rudest Citizens.

Fuck yeah!

The Castle of Ghormenghast is a massive, devout nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.565 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 76%. A small private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship, the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and the right to a fair trial was recently abolished for reasons of convenience. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghormenghast's national animal is the owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Groanism, and its currency is the snail.
