What Is Hare (hare.kractero.com) and What Is It Used For?

Hare is a browser-based hub for running NationStates scripts from one place. Its stated purpose is to be "a central location for NationStates scripts," and it groups a large set of small tools for common NationStates tasks — answering issues, managing cards, tracking endorsements, and handling puppets — behind a single site. It is not an official NationStates service; the site carries its own disclaimer and links to a Discord and GitHub for support and source code.

What Hare actually is

Hare is a front end, not a game client. You open the site, pick a script from its list, and run it against your own nations. The homepage is essentially a directory: each entry is a named tool with a one-line description of what it does. A settings menu and a theme toggle sit at the top, and a Changelog page records updates.

The tools are split into two groups on the page: Scripts (interactive tools that act on your nations or data) and Non-Scripts (reference and lookup pages).

What the scripts cover

The script list maps closely to routine NationStates chores. Grouped by purpose:

A few examples of what that means in practice:

• gotIssues is described as "an even faster way to answer issues with JavaScript" — it targets the repetitive issue-answering loop.
• JunkDaJunk junks cards "with configurable rules," so you set the criteria rather than clicking card by card.
• Gold Retriever checks card count, bank, deck value, and junk value across all your puppets in one pass.
• Pinger pings all your nations, which the site frames as "delaying their impending doom" — i.e., staving off auto-deletion from inactivity.
• Endotart and Not Endorsing take a nation and return regionmates who are not endorsing them, useful for endorsement campaigns.
• Containerise generates container rules for use with the separate Containerise tool.

The Non-Scripts section

These are lookups rather than actions:

• Legendary Tracker — view legendaries and whether they are CTE (ceased to exist).
• Kee (Queries) — query cards from all seasons by parameters.
• Bazaar — historical trade information going back to April 1st, 2018.
• Ledger — data and statistics for the top 100 nations.

If your question is "what did this card trade for historically" or "which legendaries are still alive," start here rather than with the scripts.

When Hare is the right tool

Hare fits if you already run multiple puppets or actively trade cards and want those jobs in one browser tab instead of a folder of bookmarks. The card and puppet tools assume you have nations to point them at; the endorsement tools assume you are working a region.

It is less useful if you want a single deep tool — Hare is a collection of small utilities, and each one does a narrow job. It is also not a source of official game data or rules; the Rarity tool explicitly notes its predictions are "not official."

Practical notes before you start

• Bring your own nations. Most scripts operate on nations you control or specify, so have login details or nation names ready.
• Expect cross-tool dependencies. Some outputs feed other tools — Containerise rules go to Containerise, Deck to IDs produces a text file of card IDs, Transfer produces a text file of puppets above a bank threshold.
• Check the Changelog if a tool behaves differently from an older guide; the site tracks updates there.
• Use the linked Discord and GitHub for bugs and source. The site lists both in its footer alongside the disclaimer.

The fastest way to judge relevance is to scan the script list for the chore you are trying to avoid — if it is issue answering, card junking, endorsement gaps, or puppet bookkeeping, there is likely an entry for it.
