No offense, but the UN Category Glossary is just dumb. It says, well, nothing. Do we really need it? -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 12:44, 26 Dec 2004 (GMT)

I enjoy trying to keep my UN Category just where I like it. It is part of the fun of the game for me.

Is there an official term for what I called "descriptors"? Ruventsoria 05:21, 30 Jun 2005 (GMT)

Anarchy

I think the definition of anarchy is too depreciative. the following text was extracted from the (portuguese) wikipedia article on anarchism (obs. poorly translated):

"In a general way, anarchists are against any type of hierarchic order, defending, instead, horizontal and libertarian types of organization. The definition itself adopted for the majority of the dictionaries, shows the degeneration that the word anarquism has suffered through the years. One of the visions of the common sense on the subject are in fact what is actually called "anomie" (in portuguese: anomia), or either, absence of laws. The anarquism is not related with the practice one of anomie. The anarchists reject this denomination, and the anarquism as a political theory has nothing to see with chaos or confusion."

I was under the impression that these were the official game definitions, as they are used in NSTracker. However, it could be that they just came from this page. → Ceo\squawk 05:34, December 16, 2005 (GMT)

This is the official game description, not anyone's personal bias (other, I suppose, than Max Barry's, which on NSwiki we're really going to have to live with). Nonetheless, I've edited a little to hopefully make it clearer. Gruen2alk 07:41, 16 December 2005 (GMT)
