Is this a joke or a serious question?

It's a serious question. There's been no activity here for nearly a week.

Indeed, it seems we've hit stagnation here.

Do you have any solutions in mind?

Not really.

Well, that's no good. Eventually if you stagnate enough the nation will be considered, by most, 'dead.' Forum or Wiki edit activity is what people look at when you're doing things such as applying for Micras territory.
I have a few suggestions if you're interested.

May I suggest that you add more things to make Antillica a bit more interesting, That might draw more people to Antillica and blow new life into it.
Just a suggestion

Ailin, I'm open to suggestions. Lelyfeather, what would you recommend I build?

I did not wish to offend anyone. I just want to see Antillica flourish. I will have to have a deep think about what you could do. I will reply to your questions as soon as I can think of a good idea.

One idea might be to go through everything in Antillica and update it. You might also increase the amount of things in your roleplaying board. I am sure that people would enjoy a good roleplaying game. I know that I do.

I wasn't offended in the least, and at some point I will put up a roleplay.

All right, Lelyfeather has touched in a way on some of my suggestions, but here you go:
My primary suggestion would be to recall your Promethian resources. You have one fairly active and another one or two somewhat active participants in Promethia. Since Promethia is a commonwealth of Antillica, you're fully within your rights to require them to come drop by your forum and keep Antillica active since if Antillica falls so does Promethia with it. The extreme version of this is reclaiming Promethia entirely and setting them up as a category of the Antillica boards instead and consolidating the activity.
You need to focus on something that you're good at, something that you know and want to share with others. The key in micronationalism is that you need to be unique. Otherwise you're just another Empire with no one to be Emperor over. For instance in Uantir, I am fiercely Libertarian, and so that's what a lot of my recent cultural additions have been about. I designed a unique militia style military and have started putting up tutorials on my favorite sport: firearm marksmanship. Once people start reading the tutorials I plan to running Uantiri postal shoots where we can compete against each other.
Post. This is something I have difficulty with sometimes. Even if no one else is posting, post something yourself. When there's zero activity, there's zero incentive for newcomers to drop by and stay.
Post in other people's forums. Though the Promethians are duty bound to leap into action, it's far more difficult for others to make time out of their day to come put effort into your forum if you're never posting in theirs. Reciprocity is a powerful factor, in either getting active allies or resentful ones.

I do my best to visit Antillica at least once a day, sometimes more. I hope that it will not need to go so far as Promethia becoming a board in Antillica, but if it is really, really necessary I suppose it will have to be done.

I went through most of the things in Antillica and responded to as much as possible but it is a bit one sided if I just talk to myself.
