Hello Orbis, If you do not know I am the abomination of a nation that is loosely based off of West Virginia (okay not loosely), Kanawha. Although Kanawha has been around a tiny bit longer than the newest nations on the game (those who are probably just joining within the last few months), I am happy to say that Kanawha is going to be celebrating 1 Year on the platform in 11 Days (Maybe 12 cause I have no clue what timezone the server for the game is in.)
Upcoming I am also celebrating another large milestone (personally for me) around December when My NationStates Nation, Which everything but the politics is based off of Ukraine, is turning (I believe) 5 years Old!!! (Yay balloons and sarcasm).
I know: EWWW A MULTIPLATFORMER... But NS Still makes me laugh and I enjoy it too as much as I enjoy Politics & War. Before I end this very first forums post, I'd like to leave you with some small facts about Kanawha.
- In Character/RP perspectives, Kanawha actually isn't a Sovereign Nation, but in fact a colony of [REDACTED]
- Kanwaha suffered its first nuclear strike as a result of the Coal Revolution in the City of Nitro, and you can say it was a 'miner' inconvenience.
- Kanawha's largest production is munitions, while its largest consumed resource in amount is Lead (Go Figure)
- (And Finally) Kanawha is named after the Kanawha River that runs from Gauley Bridge, WV (at the end of the Gauley and New Rivers) to Henderson/Point Pleasant, WV emptying into the Ohio River.
