'''''NationStates''''' is a multiplayer [[Government simulation game|government simulation]] [[browser game]]. It was created by [[Max Barry]] and was publicly released on 13 November 2002,<ref name="">nationstates.net: [http://www.nationstates.net/HISTORY History], accessdate: 10 April 2014</ref> based loosely on his novel ''[[Jennifer Government]]''.<ref name="nyt">{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/16/technology/online-diary.html|title=ONLINE DIARY|last=O'Connell|first=Pamela Licalzi|date=16 January 2003|work=The New York Times|page=3|accessdate=30 June 2011}}</ref> Barry originally founded the site as an independent vehicle publicizing the book one week before its release.<ref name=nyt /> The site continues to promote books written by Barry and holds as a minor Social Experiment.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Australian Aboriginal Flag.svg|thumb|175px|alt=The Australian Aboriginal Flag|The [[Australian Aboriginal Flag]] is the default flag for new nations in ''NationStates''.]]
Players set up their nation by answering a short questionnaire about their intentions for its economy, civil rights and political freedoms,<ref name="abc">{{cite web | url=http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=97793&page=1&singlePage=true | title=A Web Site of Virtual Nations | publisher=ABC News | accessdate=10 April 2014 | author=Goldman, Noah}}</ref> giving it a name,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2006-09-12/news/27451151_1_cyber-world-private-sector-theocracy|title=Virtual nations take control over the cyber world - Economic Times|date=12 September 2006|work=[[The Economic Times]]|accessdate=30 June 2011}}</ref> a flag from current countries and territories or their own, a [[national animal]], a currency, and an official motto.<ref name="abc"/> The player's response to the initial questionnaire defines the type of government they are running.<ref name="sommerer">{{cite book|author1=Christa Sommerer |author2=L. C. Jain |author3=Laurent Mignonneau |title=The Art and Science of Interface and Interaction Design|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=2a4CRJviwGkC&pg=PA173|year=2008|publisher=Springer |isbn=354079869-2|pages=173}}</ref>

New nations appear in one of five main game regions (known in the game as "feeders") located in the NationStates version of the [[Pacific Ocean]] (The, East, West, North, and South Pacific), but nations are able to move to other regions, or create their own. Nations that remain inactive and are resurrected are put into three "sinker" regions called [[Osiris]], [[Baldr|Balder]], and [[Lazarus of Bethany|Lazarus]], all named after characters that purportedly rose from the dead. Nations ejected or banned from a region are moved to a region known as "The Rejected Realms".

Gameplay hinges on deciding government policies: four times each day the player is presented with an automatically assigned "issue",<ref name="sommerer"/> such as choosing whether to allow a right-wing protest march, or dealing with food shortages in their country.<ref name="abc"/> The player chooses a government stance from a list of options, or may choose to dismiss the problem. Each action or inaction affects the prosperity of the player's country, and may have unforeseen effects. For instance, granting greater political freedom will lead to more civil unrest.<ref name="abc"/> Some issues are written by the game's developers, while others are submitted by players. For the first 30 days of a nation's existence, only game-created issues can be answered, but after that period any approved issue can be answered.<ref name="sommerer"/> The player's responses to issues affect the nation's status in three main factors: the level of ''[[political rights|Political Freedoms]]'' and ''[[Civil Rights]]'' and the strength of the ''[[Economy]]''.<ref name="sommerer"/> As of March 24, 2016, users have developed 500 issues to be used in game.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=news/2016/03/24/index.html|title=NationStates {{!}} News|website=www.nationstates.net|access-date=2016-03-29}}</ref>

[[File:Updated NS Graph.svg|thumb|A chart showing the game's 27 government types]]
Based on the nation's personal, economic and political freedoms, the nation is assigned to one of 27 government types,<ref name="sommerer"/> from Anarchy, to Inoffensive Centrist Democracy, to Psychotic Dictatorship. Although there is no way of "winning" the game, daily "World Census reports" are compiled for each region and the entire world, ranking nations on anything from economic strength to the most liberal [[public nudity]] laws.<ref name="sommerer"/>

Outside the basic technical parameters of nation play, players can also move freely between regions, "take over" opposing regions by flooding them with foreign nations (a popular gameplay tactic also called "raiding"), interact on the game's chat boards, vote on resolutions at the [[#United Nations incident|World Assembly]] (which affect member nations' stats much the same way issues do), and chat and/or roleplay their countries on the official game forums. Many of the regions also have separate regional forums that concern regional politics, fairs, etc.

==Popularity==
The game attracted a thousand nations within two weeks, and had 20,700 by the end of the first year.<ref name="abc"/> Barry was surprised by the popularity of the game, and saw its discussion forums developing into an arena for political debate.<ref name="abc"/> He was impressed by some of the activity in the forums, relating how "One nation accused another of conducting secret missile tests and posted photos to prove it. That escalated into an international crisis that was only solved by sending in teams of independent weapons inspectors".<ref name="nyt"/>

As of April 21, 2016, NationStates had around 190,000+<ref>{{cite web|last1=Barry|first1=Max|title=World Census Update|url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=news/2016/04/18/index.html|website=NationStates|accessdate=4 March 2016}}</ref> active nations, and 4.25 million inactive, no longer existing, or defunct nations.

==United Nations incident==
In 2008, Barry received a cease and desist order from the [[United Nations]] for using the UN name and logo for the international ruling body on the website. In response, he removed the logo and changed the name to the World Assembly.<ref name="blog">[http://maxbarry.com/2008/04/02/news.html The United Nations vs Me], retrieved 17 May 2014.</ref>

==''NationStates 2''==
In 2008, OMAC Industries purchased [[Jolt Online Gaming|Jolt Gaming]] and announced plans for a "big release" sequel that summer, ''NationStates 2''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Phil Elliott |url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/omac-industries-acquires-jolt-online-gaming |title=OMAC Industries acquires Jolt Online Gaming | GamesIndustry International |publisher=Gamesindustry.biz |date=2008-06-18 |accessdate=2013-01-06}}</ref> In February 2009, Max Barry announced that ''NationStates'' was leaving the OMAC Industries servers and game system, and that the game "doesn't have terribly much to do with [''NationStates 2''] any more."<ref>{{cite web

Nationstates 2 was closed down in 2009,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationstates2.com/|title=NationStates 2|publisher=}}</ref> and Jolt Gaming shut down in 2012.

[[File:Donald John Trump.jpg|200px|right|thumbnail|Donald J. Trump]]
'''Donald J. Trump''' (b. [[Queens]], [[New York]], on June 14, 1946), nickname "The Donald," (or simply - "The Don") is a successful businessman, entrepreneur, outspoken politician, and [[television]] personality. He is also the presumptive nominee for the [[Republican Party]] in the [[2016 presidential election]].

Trump has engaged in many financial pursuits and estimates that his net worth is $10 billion.<ref>LoGiurato, Brett (July 25, 2015). [http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-net-worth-2015-7 "We finally know a lot more about Donald Trump's 'massive' net worth"]. Business Insider website.</ref> He graduated from the New York Military Academy in 1964 and first attended college at [[Fordham University]] for two years before transferring to the more competitive [[University of Pennsylvania]] and then completing his studies at the prestigious Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. Trump has five children.

On June 16, 2015, he declared at he is a loser and a mediocre person who blames hispanic people anything and wants migrants away when he is son of one... He also announced that he is an idiot.

In February 2011, Trump announced that he is [[pro-life]].<ref>But on August 11, 2015, he indicated that he might support taxpayer funding of [[Planned Parenthood]] for its non-[[abortion]] activities (which builds its brand and funds its overhead).</ref> During the campaign for the Republican nomination, Trump called for women who had [[abortion]]s to be punished for doing so. He quickly flip-flopped on that statement, saying instead that doctors who provide abortions should be punished, not the women who have them. <ref>[https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-regarding-abortion Donald Trump press release]</ref>. He later asserted that there should be no federal ban on abortions. <ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/01/politics/donald-trump-abortion-laws/index.html]"Trump says federal laws should not be changed to outlaw abortion," CNN.com, 1 April 2016.</ref>

Trump's central campaign theme has been to oppose [[illegal immigration]], and he enlisted Senator [[Jeff Sessions]] as an adviser on this issue. As reported by [[Breitbart News Network|Breitbart]], "Sen. Sessions, Chairman of the Senate’s Immigration Subcommittee, is widely regarded as the gold standard on immigration. Sessions has also become the intellectual thought leader in the Republican Party on appealing to the blue collar voters who have been abandoned by their political leaders." <ref>Hahn, Julia (August 14, 2015). [http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/14/game-change-trump-consults-with-sen-jeff-sessions-on-immigration-strategy/ "Game change: Trump consults with Sen Jeff Sessions on immigration strategy"]. Breitbart website/Big government.</ref> However, in recent months, Trump has focused more on [[ISIS]] and terrorism.

In the 2015 [[Value Voters Debate|Value Voters]] poll, Trump performed poorly, coming in fifth, indicating many [[Christian]] [[conservatives]] had not yet warmed up to him.<ref>Flores, Reena (September 26, 2015). [http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-conservative-poll-donald-trump-could-not-win/ "The conservative poll Donald Trump could not win"]. CBSNews website.</ref> Trump is a big supporter of [[gambling]], which most [[conservatives]] oppose. But by 2016 Trump was winning more support from [[evangelical]]s than any other Republican candidate.

==Early life==

Donald Trump attended the First [[Presbyterian]] Church in Jamaica, [[Queens]]. He told the [[Christian Broadcasting Network]] that he still considers himself a [[Presbyterian]] and attends services for all major holidays and Sundays, and that "The [[Bible]] is certainly THE book." He receives Bibles from fans in the mail, and he either stores them or gives them away to others.<ref>Haberman, Maggie (April 11, 2011). [http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52942.html "Donald Trump talks about religion"]. Politico website.</ref>

==Career==
[[File:Trump business.jpg|right]]
Donald Trump began his career at Trump Organization. In his college years, he helped revitalize one of his father's failing real estate ventures. Trump began opening hotels and casinos, which provided him with the cash flow to engage in other ventures. He owns the world-famous Trump Tower and is the founder of the publicly traded Trump Hotel Casinos & Resorts. Trump also owns the Trump brand, which sells a variety of items, such as bottled water, steak, and even mortgages. Trump has authored a number of books and weathered changing business fortunes, but despite the challenges that he has encountered, he has continued to be a successful businessman and entrepreneur.

Trump considered [[presidential election 2012|running for President in 2012]] as a [[Republican]]. He, among others, questioned the citizenship of [[Barack Obama]], citing his failure to produce his birth certificate. After Obama produced his birth certificate, Trump and the other [[birther]]s continue to doubt its authenticity. Obama's approval ratings were around 40% during the peak of the controversy. Trump later exited the race, and gave the customary endorsement to [[Mitt Romney]] as the other [[Republican]] contenders did.

==Media==
[[File:Donald Trump star.JPG|thumbnail|left|Hollywood Walk of Fame]]
In 2003 Trump began as the host and executive producer of the reality [[television]] show ''The Apprentice'' and ''The Celebrity Apprentice'', where contestants compete for a position in Trump's organization. On this show, Trump popularized his catchphrase "You're fired!"

Trump owns the Miss Universe Pageant. Controversy arose when one of the winners, Tara Conner, was caught breaking pageant rules by drinking and other activities. Trump gave her a second chance after personally speaking with her and allowed her to retain her crown as she attended rehabilitation. For several weeks after this, [[Rosie O'Donnell]] berated Trump for his decision on ''The View''. A bitter media war ensued with the two exchanging insults.

Trump has made many guest appearances, usually as himself, on many TV shows and in several movies.

Childish [[liberals]] are vandalizing Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame three times a day. A person asked about the vandalism said Trump has it coming. <ref>[http://video.breitbart.com/?ndn.trackingGroup=90085&ndn.siteSection=breitbart2slider_nws_us_sec&ndn.videoId=30599129&freewheel=90085&sitesection=breitbart2slider_nws_us_sec&vid=30599129 Trump Walk of Fame Star vandalized daily]</ref>

==Political positions==

====Abortion====

At the 2011 [[CPAC]] conference, Trump announced he is [[pro-life]].<ref>Rahn, Will (February 10, 2011). [http://dailycaller.com/2011/02/10/trump-at-cpac-points-to-white-house-run/ "Trump at CPAC points to White House run"]. The Daily Caller website.</ref>

====Affordable Care Act====

Trump intends to "repeal and replace" [[Obamacare]].<ref name=Educ>Breitbart.tv (February 9, 2011). [http://www.breitbart.com/video/2011/02/09/pro-life-donald-trump-would-eliminate-dept-of-education-impose-25-tax-on-china-imports-if-president/ "Pro-life Donald Trump would eliminate Dept of Education, impose 25% tax on China imports if president"]. Breitbart.com.</ref> However, Trump has also said, "I like the mandate,"<ref>[http://dailycaller.com/2016/02/19/trump-on-obamacare-i-like-the-mandate-video/ "Trump On Obamacare: ‘I Like The Mandate’"]</ref> so it is difficult to tell how he would deal with the law as President.

====Controversy with Barack Obama====

Trump has also questioned Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to be President, in light of the ongoing questions surrounding his birth certificate.<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=280533 "Trump: Obama spending millions to hide his past"] (March 28, 2011). WorldNetDaily website.</ref> Trump questioned whether the Obama Administration was successful in negotiating with foreign countries.

====Department of Education====

At the 2011 [[CPAC]] conference, he stated that he wants to eliminate the Department of Education.<ref name=Educ/>

====Foreign policy====
Trump wants to improve relationships with [[Russia]]n president [[Vladimir Putin]].<ref>Johnson, Simon (July 31, 2015). [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11775145/Donald-Trump-Id-get-on-very-well-with-Putin-if-I-were-president.html "Donald Trump: I'd get on 'very well' with Putin if I were president"]. The Telegraph [U.K.] website.</ref>

Trump says the [[Iran]] deal is bad, but as president he would enforce it anyway.

====Global warming====

Trump does not believe in the [[Climate Change]] hysteria, once stating the "Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from [[Al Gore]]."

====Second Amendment rights====

Trump is strongly pro-[[Second Amendment]] and against [[leftist]] [[gun control]] and gun free zones. As president, Trump has promised to re-arm military personnel on all American military bases as well as [[ROTC]] recruitment centers, which were disarmed by the [[Clinton Administration]] policy.<ref name=Educ/>

====Homosexual agenda====

For all practical purposes, Trump seems to be on the side of the [[homosexual agenda]]. He supports the creation of new law by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], as in a new right to [[homosexual marriage]], and declares it the "law of the land" even though Congress passed no such law.

Trump has attended multiple [[same-sex marriage]] ceremonies, but has also said in the past that he opposes same-sex marriage. Trump's views are not yet known on other aspects of the [[homosexual agenda]], such as whether Trump would ban [[conversion therapy]] for minors as [[Chris Christie]] did. The [[Fox News Channel]] debate in August avoided these issues, but future debates will probably require Trump to declare his position.

====Immigration====

See the discussion in the introduction above. This is Trump's main campaign issue.

A central part of his immigration plan is to build a giant wall on the border with Mexico. Trump estimates it will cost $8 billion, approximately 35 to 40 feet high and stretch 2000 miles. <ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/09/donald-trump-the-wall-is-probably-8-billion Trump Border Wall]</ref>

Trump has also proposed to temporarily ban [[Muslims]] from entering the United States, until "our leaders figure out what the hell is going on," in order to protect Americans from the threats posed by [[Islamic]] [[refugee|refugees]] (and those pretending to be<ref>[http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/isis-fighters-infiltrating-syrian-refugees-uk-is-warned/article/2572051 ISIS fighters infiltrating Syrian refugees, UK is warned]</ref>) entering the country.<ref>[http://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/donald-trump-insists-muslim-ban-is-about-safety-not-religion Donald Trump Insists Muslim Ban Is About Safety, Not Religion]</ref>

====Political contributions====

He has been criticized for his substantial contributions to [[Democrat]] lawmakers; the majority of those lawmakers are located in the states he resides in: New York and Florida. The amount he has donated since 2008 is $25,000, which is insignficant considering his wealth.<ref>Allin, Olivia (April 30, 2011). [http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Donald-Trump-calls-nations-leaders-stupid-people-and-blood-sucking-politicians/8104644 "OTRC: Donald Trump calls nation's leaders 'stupid people' and 'blood-sucking politicians'"]. OnTheRedCarpet [news]. Retrieved from ABC7 [KABC Television, Los Angeles] website.</ref>

====Tariffs====

At the 2011 [[CPAC]] conference, he stated that he supports a 25% tariff on Chinese goods.<ref name=Educ/> The number floated around in 2016 is a 45% tariff. Trump was speaking in regards to China and the [[World Trade Organization]], <ref>[http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-finance-ministerlou-jiwei-takes-aim-at-donald-trumps-trade-policies-1460892988 Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei Takes Aim at Donald Trump’s Trade Policies, WallStreetJournal, April 17, 2016]</ref>

{{cquote|In a statement from his campaign, Mr. Trump charged that [[China]] was “in total violation of WTO regulations” and that the U.S. “has incompetently allowed them to get away with this” and has failed to impose “equal or greater taxes and tariffs” on China. If he is elected president, Mr. Trump said, China “will learn to deal fairly and justly or we will not deal at all” with Beijing.}}

====Vaccines====
Trump believes that [[vaccines]] cause [[autism]]<ref>Ferris, Sarah (September 16, 2015). [http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/253980-trump-links-vaccines-to-autism-epidemic "Trump links vaccines to autism 'epidemic'"]. The Hill website/Policy/Healthcare.</ref> and has argued against requiring that so many vaccines be given to infants.
==== Eminent domain====
Trump believes that the government has the right to take private property upon paying just compensation for both infrastructure and to promote economic development.
==== Supreme Court====
Trump opposes filling the Supreme Court seat held by [[Antonin Scalia]] before the next President takes office. When asked who he might select to the Supreme Court, he said that his sister, a sitting federal court judge, would make a great Supreme Court justice.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/423196/trump-praises-his-sister-pro-abortion-extremist-judge-ramesh-ponnuru|title=Trump Praises His Sister, a Pro-Abortion Extremist Judge|date=Aug 27, 2015|accessdate=February 21, 2016}}</ref>

==Quotes from the 2016 campaign for President==

Trump's tactics of naming and shaming candidates has been proven very effective. He called Jeb Bush 'low-energy Jeb' and it stuck. Then came Marco Rubio as 'Little Marco.' Next came 'Lyin' Ted' for Ted Cruz. For the Democrats, he calls Hillary Clinton 'Crooked Hillary'. He doesn't give Bernie Sanders the same treatment though he has referred to him as a Communist.

*"I think we have a president who, as a president, is totally incompetent, and he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I think he has no idea what he’s doing. And our country is going to [[hell]]."<ref>http://time.com/4210983/republican-debate-barack-obama-incompetent/</ref>
*"I will be the greatest jobs president that [[God]] ever created."
*"I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich."
*"Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people."
*"Nobody would be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Nobody. Within our military, I will find the General Patton, or I will find General MacArthur, I will find the right guy."
*"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have [[Mexico]] pay for that wall."
*"I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct."<ref>http://video.foxnews.com/v/4406746003001/watch-a-replay-of-fox-news-prime-time-presidential-debate/?#sp=show-clips</ref><ref>https://www.google.com/search?q=a+big+problem+with+our+country+is+too+politically+incorrect&oq=a+big+problem+with+our+country+is+too+politically+incorrect&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64l3.8295j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=119&ie=UTF-8</ref>
