This script checks every 10 (by default) minutes and notifies you if you have new issues on NationStates.
This only works on Windows 10 as it uses win10toast to notify you of new issues - that could be changed though if anyone is sufficiently interested.
- win10toast - display toast notifications
- requests - make HTTP requests to the nationstates API
- beautifulsoup - parsing the xml returned from the API(probably a bit overkill, but it works)
- lxml - required for beautifulsoup to parse XML
