This article becomes so much clearer, when you realize that nationstates is an online browser based Nation simulator

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what information I was missing because I wasn't pulling it from the article. It keeps talking about government processes and then reiterating steam accounts and Discord alt accounts and I'm like why would any Nation ever care about any of these

it's all virtual, it's a game. So much simpler to comprehend now
