Greitbart Exclusive: Why We Stand With Sedgistan – The Hero NationStates Didn’t Know It Needed
By Unibot WA Mission, Greitbart News Network
NationStates, the long-standing political simulation and nation-building game, has seen its fair share of change-makers. But few have shown the resilience, commitment, and vision that Sedgistan has brought to the table. From battling bureaucratic stagnation to shaking up the World Assembly, Sedgistan has done more than just play the game—he’s bled for it.
While some cry foul at his bold reforms and disruptive style, others see a patriot reclaiming the soul of a fractured gameplay ecosystem. Some even call for him to be fired - but Sedgistan’s leadership isn’t just feared, it is admired. It’s a rallying cry for those who want to Make NationStates Great Again.
Simone loves Sedgistan so much she says she will retire (again) if he is fired.
“People underestimate the value of disruption,” says @Simone, a long-time World Assembly participant and regional leader. “Sedgistan’s reforms to the WA may be damaging to the status quo—but that’s the point. He inspires activity. People are reading proposals again. They’re debating. They’re angry, and they’re engaged. That’s real leadership.”
Indeed, Sedgistan’s push to streamline WA voting protocols and challenge entrenched delegate cliques has sparked fierce debate. But that storm has brought renewed energy to a system many saw as dormant.
@St George, a controversial figure from the game’s frontier regions, highlights another aspect of Sedgistan’s legacy: the gameplay reforms. “Let’s be honest,” he says. “The gameplay reforms Sedgistan supports? They’re not just admin noise—they’re strategic. They’ve made it easier for us to justify and execute the invasion of small, isolated RP communities. That’s not chaos—it’s expansion. It’s gameplay, baby.”
Sedgistan toppling TSP’s government
And while some accuse Sedgistan of being an autocrat in reformer’s clothing, others point to his earlier legacy in The South Pacific as a prime example of democratic revitalization. “The region was dead,” recalls @Comfed, currently serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs. “Sedgistan didn’t just come in and bark orders. He helped remove an inactive government, one that hadn’t passed a meaningful law in months, and worked with the community to build something functional. Say what you will about what it is now, but without Sedgistan, it wouldn’t even exist.”
@Comfed isn’t stopping there. “Frankly,” he adds, “the delegate @Chipoli and I support further regime change in The South Pacific. The rot didn’t stop in 2021. It’s time for a new direction, one that values activity, vision, and gameplay, not complacency and nostalgia.”
@Eluvatar is willing to die for Sedge
Perhaps most significantly, site administrator @Eluvatar has publicly voiced support for Sedgistan, calling him “a stabilizing force with a deep understanding of NationStates’ history, gameplay mechanics, and community culture.” Sources close to Eluvatar suggest that Sedgistan is viewed as the natural successor to [violet], the site’s current ruler and spiritual architect. It’s a quiet but telling endorsement, one that speaks volumes about the future direction of the site itself.
In a game too often paralyzed by meta-politics and calcified regional alliances, Sedgistan represents something rare: action. Whether you love him or loathe him, he moves the needle. And in NationStates, that’s everything.
So yes—we support Sedgistan. Because leadership isn’t always clean. It’s not always popular. Sometimes you’ll end up with piss in your cereal. But it’s necessary.
And Sedgistan? He’s the necessary evil that just might save the game.
