Daily News[hr]
There’s a lot of news out there in NationStates. And we here at EPNS don’t have time to cover all of it, but every month, we gather the big, important scoops to fit in our official releases. However, it’s worth paying attention to things that might get lost in the barrage of information in NationStates. Thus, the Eastern Pacific News Service is now debuting Daily News, which updates, well, daily to get you the updates you need!
