Hey, I started Sublation Nation with the name inspired by Hegel's concept of Aufhebung ("Sublation" is the English translation of it). I try to avoid getting obsessive over the start. I only selected "centrist" government and "capitalism is on the way out" at agree. It started me with a mixed economy or "democratic socialists" still with a capitalist economy. I realize that starting with a socialist economy in the game starts you off with an economy down in the dumps. It started me off with a "fair" economy. I am wondering if I choose an answer that switches me fully over to a socialist economy, if the economy will take as much as a hit as starting the game off that way?
I would prefer to play the game with a feeling of progression. I actually think I may have started off with too high of civil liberties etc. because after a couple questions they are already very high. I would prefer to keep playing this nation though, to keep the name choice. I'm just also concerned about the economy. Maybe if it downsizes after seizing the means of production I will enjoy rebuilding? Or maybe I will feel like I lost too much progress.
Any answers to my questions and concerns or suggestions on enjoying that aspect of this game?
how did growing kids in labs decrease my civil rights?
NS Stats can be all over the place. Some folks, when they roleplay, entirely ignore the stats. Some folks ignore them so much solely to get certain banners. If you want to actively make sure you tailor your nation's stats to the results you want, I suggest a) checking on what the results of your answers are. Here's a good place to do that http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/
And b) skipping questions that don't help you reach whatever goal you want for your nation. Good luck!
Sometimes NS Stats are a mystery. The link I posted above can give you an idea of how answering questions impacts your various stats.
hi, welcome to the game and the region! you can definitely play for the statistics for a very long time--there are some players that spend years trying to maximize their desired statistics. sometimes people pick a more niche one they like to max out, like trout fishing. one thing that's very helpful if you want to get that feeling of progression is using this website that will show you the potential outcomes for any issue option you select (http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/). checking it lets you make the decisions that will best maximize your desired stats, and avoid ones that would tank your desired stats.
almost all nations start out with rough economies, especially if you pick socialist. however, you can definitely recover your economy if you do switch over to socialism--as you can see on my stats page, my nation is a left-wing utopia, and still has an 'all-consuming' economy. the older your nation is, the bigger it gets, and the better your economy stats will be. i think it's probably easier to switch to your desired form of government now and take the stat tank while your nation is still new, then build the economy stat up over time. and like i mentioned before, people can play with their stats for years & years, so you don't have to get in the mindset of "losing too much progress" this early into your nation.
if you enjoy a sense of progression, you might also enjoy some other aspects of the game that are progression-based! if you endorse our delegate 
Kethania and then run the
[nation]Ink Cloud[/nation], REPcommand, you'll be given a list of other nations in the region to endorse. the more people you endorse, the more endorsements you get back, especially if you politely ask for them. you can ultimately collect up to 175, which some people find very fun, since it gives you a super high endorsement statistic (175 is more than most delegates in the game have--big region perks) and you get to watch the numbers of people you're interacting with go up. and for our citizens in the discord (i'll link the dispatch about how to apply for cit below), manual recruiting is enjoyed by some people--our custom discord bot sends you links to pre-filled telegrams, which you can send to new nations with just a tap, and over time you get to watch people you've recruited join the region, earn medals, etc. we also have multiple government ministries you can participate in and a leftist military, if any of that sounds like it would hit the right spot for you! hopefully this isn't too long--it seemed like you were taking the game fairly seriously, so i wanted to give you plenty of information about how you can maximize the experience
How to Apply for Citizenship in The Communist Bloc
by 
The People's Republic of TCB Ministry of Domestic Affairs
How to Apply for Citizenship
A guide by the Ministry of Domestic Affairs
There are two requirements you must meet to gain citizenship:
- Having a nation located in The Communist Bloc
- Owning a World Assembly (WA) nation. The location of your WA nation does not matter.
To submit your citizenship application, you will need to create an account for our forums.
To create your forum account, follow these steps. The process will be demonstrated with screenshots.
1. Navigate to 
tcb.red and press the register button in the top right.
2. Fill out the registration form. It is highly recommended that you attach your account to an email you use specifically for NationStates purposes to ensure the privacy of your personal information.
3. You will see this message, which means a confirmation email has been sent to the email address you provided in step two. Open that email's inbox, find the confirmation email, and select the "Confirm your email" button. If you do not see a confirmation email, check your spam folder.
4. You will be redirected back to the forums, where you should see a confirmation message.
Discord and pinging @Masking.Now that you've created your forum account, it's time to submit your citizenship application! The process is very simple and will once again be demonstrated by screenshots.
1. Go to the Naturalisation Office subforum.
2. Click the button in the righthand corner which says "Post Thread.".
3. The page you will use to submit your citizenship application will appear. First, create your title in the "Citizenship Application: NAME" box. It should be in that format. Secondly, introduce yourself in the main text box below the title.
4. Answer each of the application questions. If you don't have an answer to a question or the question isn't applicable, answer it with "None"
5. Press the "Post Thread" button. You have now submitted your citizenship application!
It will likely take the Ministry of Domestic Affairs approximately 1 to 3 days to process your application. To prevent electoral fraud, applications are not processed during election periods, but will be checked once the election ends.
Once your application is approved, you're officially a citizen of The Communist Bloc!
Now that you're a citizen of The Communist Bloc, we encourage you to explore the many opportunities available to citizens!
Join the
regional Discord! Post the link to your approved citizenship application in the lobby channel and ping @Masking. Inquire about volunteer opportunities in the Discord! Every volunteer helps the Bloc grow and improve.
Join the regional military, the People's Revolutionary Air Force, and help take down conservatives and fascists across NationStates!
Browse the forums for any legislation being debated or voted on!
If you haven't done so already, endorse our World Assembly Delegate Kethania and Vice World Assembly Delegates Shamian, Pajonia and The Workers Union of Habsburg-Lorraine.

Once I built a bullet train and my civil rights went up. That was bizarre, but nice.
Because this game kinda sucks. But also I have to imagine it's because it's an idea that makes people uncomfortable, and this bias bleeds into whatever system determines stats (within a margin of error given they're apparently semi-random), but they'd never actually reflect on why it makes them uncomfortable (vitalist humanism, an attachment to the """sanctity""" of organic reproduction). People are horrified by anything that undermines essentialist and anthropocentric myths, the same sort of reactionary impulse that drives the materially-baseless opposition to stem cell research, or the paranoid fear of synthetic life in general, even queerness, homosexual parenthood, gender transition, etc. breach this same line for people wishing to affirm some very backwards and stifling myth of the human or 'human nature'.
I wouldn't say the game sucks, but the issues can be so wacky sometimes. Luckily, Issues are probably the least impactful part of the game, and with so many other things like cards, RP, R/D, and just interacting with the community in general you can ignore issues pretty easily
Oh do you know where I can get that list of options please?
Op, I found it! Thanks for letting me know the existence of such a thing though!
Thank you for the tips! Much appreciated. I did decide to start the nation creation process over again while it's still early. But I think I'm set to go now!
