Talk:Constantinopolis

Nice factbook entry. But becoming a republic in the 80s? I thought you were RPing as if it were modern day, and that you got rid of the Monarchy in 2003 or so. I know I began the alliance with you in late 2002-early 2003, and that Justinian was in office when that happened. No offense, I just need some clarification re timelines and such. ~Syskeyia

Well, it goes like this: In real time, I've been on NS for two years. These correspond to about 20 years of "game time" from my perspective. The moment I joined NS corresponds to some time in the early 80's on my timeline. Justinian Tiberius was Basileus from 1982 to 1986. Then Constantinopolis became a republic in 1986, and Justinian was elected to serve as Chairman in 1986-1990, and again in 1990-1994.

You see, I had to do a bit of "rewriting of history" in order to get the history of my nation exactly as I want it. But from now on, my "game time" will correspond to real time. -- Constantinopolis 12:50, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

NPOV discussion

Perhaps instead of "This nation is seen by Constantinopolis as a long-standing bastion of oppression in every shape and form, earning the undying hatred of the people of Constantinopolis" you could say "There is a hearty dislike for Menelmacar in Constantinopolis, thanks to the Menelmacari market-based economy and monarchal form of government."

We must, after all, keep everything nice and NPOV, right?
