Never played NS but from what I heard people tell me it is pretty similar to this, except I don't think there are rulers and agents involved in NS (correct me if I'm wrong).

I've been a part of a few political RPs, the problem I think is that they are too small scale. I remember one RP in which we were in High Rock and every user had a political party that was trying to get elected and whatnot, but all we did was have meetings and discuss politics, practically the whole time. People tend to get bored if that is all you do in the RP. Besides this isn't a political RP, I think of it more like a Strategy RP.

True we have to try it to see if it works out. I also agree and disagree with you. I can thing of quite a lot of things a country can do to another, because I've done most of them in games like the ones I mentioned above. But like any RP its success will depend on all the users, not just the GM. If people don't do anything or do the same things over and over again they will get bored and quit the RP, which will lead to it dying.
