Rules for nation-making:
1. For the purposes of simplicity, there is no magic in this world. There are healers and alchemists, but conjuring fireballs and summoning demons is a big no-no
2. Keep your civilization balanced. No-one likes having to compete with uber-strong, mega-cultured gods
3. Be reasonable. If your nation only has a couple of gold mines, gold will be unlikely to be a major export
4. Fantasy races are acceptable, but try and keep them roughly humanoid. All player races must be sentient. Custom animals are permitted.
5. Don't be a dick. No building Mechagodzillas or airships with Muskets.
6. NPCs are available to everyone for any use, but ask for permission before using a Sentient being you don't own.
7.Creatures you spawn belong to you - no-one else can say what they do without your consent. However, you may NOT spawn in someone else's nation without their permission.

It's a 'Draw your own Borders' kind of map, and functions on a first come, first serve basis. However, keep your borders reasonable.

Some parts of the NS skeleton are optional - it is recommended but not necessary to add them.
Other parts say "Can accept before added" - That means a nation can be accepted whilst this is absent, but it must be added later.
