what is this game all about?

It's basically where we scream and hurl insults at each other. The more awesome the insult, the better your country ends up at the end of the reset. Or worse, I can never quite remember.

well then u suck!
i win or maybe lose?

you make a country so you can beat up other countries :) then you join an alliance with a bunch of friends so you can go on irc or vent and make a party out of the whole thing. or you can get all technical and strategic and figure out all the formulas in order to make the biggest country. or you can be the political snake that divides alliances and causes war. or be all.
