On to the checklist...
-well established, so with a decent population, starting regions need not apply We've got at least 20 active people, cycling in and out, possibly up to 30-40ish. That'll be more apparent to us old-timers as the annunal summer activity increase occurs in the coming weeks. Technically, we've just recently dropped below 100 nations due to several old friends CTE'ing....but they have come back before, and may again! (rest in peace, USP).
-no monarchy/NS-marriage stuff that drives the place (it's okay if one happens, but it should not be the leading factor of it) Wait, government? We've had our lovely dictator by popular choice for as long as *I've* been there (quite a while) and it all works fine. In the summer, we'll probably talk about adding lower ranks again...and it may or may not happen ;P
-Gameplay, P2TM or NS-Sports oriented {I'm looking to expand my horizon with those latter two, but I can also stay around GP stuff if the offer is better} Well, this is one where we sadly fall short a bit. A few of us really enjoy certain P2TM threads we are active in, but we stay out of Gameplay as a region (some members do it through puppets [or mains] elsewhere) minus a concern for safety, and as far as I know no Ns-sports fans here
-active offsite forum where I can goof off Well, two things here. One, that describes our RMB very well
it might as well be an IRC and constant RP and discussion or politics and whatever you wish to bring up at the moment....as for the actual offsite, it does exist. It's never been *crazy* but it was pretty popular last summer and fall and may well return to being so. Hopefully 
-has a founder Yes! He may not show face often, but by black magic he is always here in short notice if we need him! (i,e, communicates with the delegate ;P)
-is okay with me occasionally having my WA elsewhere {the specifics we can talk about privately} Go right ahead! We don't mind at all! though me and another member watch regional security, there's really not even much need without an active founder or legitimate government to coup
-has a great atmosphere Ding ding ding! We even have people from other regions leave a puppet just to chat, including Vandoosa (Ozoi to us) [remember the global TG?], among other, less famous ones. Nobody here is mean or nasty, we're all good friends!
As a final note, I will add that a chunk of the population are huge anime fans. If you like that, yay, if not, we'll there's me and a number of other who regularly consider all that gibberish and still love the place!
So come by and chat any time if you wish
Take some cookies and Koiwai Punch (a regional soda produced in many varieties)...just remember - the cake is a lie! (and so is North Dakota....[seriously, have you ever met a North Dakotan? Been there? Know anyone who's been there? What's in North Dakota?] )-Economa, for the sake of Black Mesa Islands
