Someone reminded me that NationStates existed the other day. I took a look at their forums, and they're... adorable? See for yourself: forum.nationstates.net

It feels like the internet from 10-15 years ago. There's a kind of earnestness that I don't expect from the internet anymore. And I think the difference is that they're still using old forum technology, which crucially has no likes / upvotes / karma.
