'''NationStates''' is a [[fictional]] nation-simulation website created by [[socialist]] [[Australian]] author [[Max Barry]] on November 13, 2002 to promote his anti-[[capitalist]] book Jennifer Government. The website is notable for its heavy population of [[liberals]], who regularly engage in [[liberal deceit]], [[liberal denial]], and [[double standard]] to silence [[conservatives]] and [[Christians]] and prevent [[biblical]] or [[logical]] arguments from being seen; and for openly plagiarizing Conservapedia with it's "Conservative" theme, which allows users to display the Conservapedia logo with the word "Nationstates" replacing the word "Conservapedia." <ref>https://www.nationstates.net/page=news/2010/03/31/index.html</ref>

[[Max Barry]]'s 2002 novel served as inspiration for NationStates, which Barry intended to use to drum up interest in his book before it ballooned into a safe-haven for liberals to compare [[logical fallacies]] without fear of logical rebuttal from conservatives. The novel is notable for its many [[socialist]] and [[communist]] themes and attacks on the [[free market]], as the book takes place in a extremely privatized future, including depictions of [[AT&T]] and [[Verizon]] employees being shot on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange and the painting of [[Nike]]'s marketing department as a villainous organization willing to sanction murder to promote a new shoe. <ref>http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33356.Jennifer_Government</ref>

Max Barry does not allow user-created nations to use the [[swastika]] on their flags, but does allow the [[communist]] [[hammer and sickle]] emblem, under which far more people have been murdered, in a clear example of liberal [[double standard]]. Challenges to this stance are repeatedly shut down by site admins without explanation. <ref>http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=16394962#p16394962</ref>

As noted above, conservative appeals to the administrators about the unfair treatment received at the hands of liberals, who far outnumber them are summarily dismissed.
