Holy shizzle!!! NationStates has just been revamped!! Well, not exactly, but there is a shiny new feature: regional influences... I know it probably doesn't effect the actual roleplaying part of this game, at least for us, but still... What do you guys think?

It's an interesting concept, though I wish they'd have posted a list (an if they had, if someone could supply me with it here that'd be nice) as to the labels and how they effect us. As in what's the best label to have, what's the worst, and what's in the middle.

Paradise, "Minnow" is a reference to a small fish, so it means you have very little influence. I am also a minnow. What is this new rating based on?

Apparently time in the region, and endorsementsover time. But I do not know the hierachy of ratings. I am an Ambassador.

The rating is based on the time one has been in the region, and the UN endorsements they have. RD is a "Truckler" or something like that.

NeoRome is a "handshaker"
Neo-Macedonia is a Envoy
TheNeoDynasty is an Ambassador
Perisa is a Minnow
and I forget the rest.

So apparently they have an interesting new well of labels, but like I said before I wish I knew the order of them from worst to best.

It doesn't work. Paradise has been in the Middle East longer than everyone else here. It must be only related to the UN...

its a combination of both officially. likely, the UN thing outweighs time because this whole system is related to the new region crashing rules.

Are you sure? I'm inclined to think it has only to do with the UN, or maybe time in the region plays such a small role it doesn't even matter.

Here is the official explanation: http://www.nationstates.net/pages/influence.html

it doesn't say how the factors are weighted, I don't think.

From that explanation it looks like Influence only applies to thos in the UN, so maybe it's only given to thos in the UN.

I didn't see that, but I figured it out. The Camerillion Empire isn't in the UN and it's a "Powerbroker", but Global Supremacy doesn't have any UN nations. My revised guess is that time in the region doesn't matter unless no one is in the UN.
