Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of instant communication over the Internet, popularly used by many members of the NationStates community. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion groups called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication.

  • #NationStates - for general NationStates chat
  • #NationStates_General - for NationStates chat specifically for General forum posters
