This may not be the place to ask, but where do we go to get help with Invaders? My region is under attack and everyone including the founder is offline or unable to help.

For possible future needs, contact Drop Your Pants and/or Benevolent Thomas. These guys at least know what to do, and they can also make some practical actions if needed, (not only forum statements and moral support), unlike most of gameplaying folks labeled as "Defenders".

Your region has a founder and you as delegate have imposed a password on the region. I don't think you're in any danger.

Get other WA nations, pick target, know when update time is, move to said region right at update time, endorse each other, become delegate and take control.

Have more endorsements (WA) than any other nation in the region, and wait for one of the two updates (begging at 12 am/om EST and running about an hour and a half start to finish) to sweep through.

You have someone go to your national page, scroll down, and click endorse. You both have to be in the WA tho.
AND YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE WA AT A TIME

The mods TG a message to you.
It should be noted that the vast majority of issues are rejected, so it's a good idea to draft 'em on the forums.

What should also be noted is that you will NOT be notified automatically if your issue was rejected and that the time of accepting an issue varies greatly.
I've heard from an Editor that some take days, while others are stuck in Editing Limbo.

IIRC, the reason why the mods don't send rejection telegrams is because a lot of the issues fit into the "so bad it's unworkable" category.

Right, I'm stuck with my economy at 97, and it refuses to go up any higher. My OCD is killing me because it is not at 100. I keep taking issues which should (according to guides) increase the economy rating, but they seem to have no effect whatsoever! Why is this happening?

It gets more difficult to raise your stats the more extreme they are. I've had a 96 economy for the past month.

Would someone please tell me what the small, square symbols are that are shown on your country profile? I've seen a lot of countries with different badge-like objects, but I don't know what they are or how to get them? Would someone please tell me what they mean and how you get them?

The World Census, to get one of the badges you have to be in the top 10%, 5%, 1%, or the highest ranked nation for a particular category for the day that stat is being ranked. For instance, one day, the census might be for safety from crime, and I might win a badge for being in the top 10%, but it will be different on any other day until it comes around again. Badges also only last for as long until the next census of the same category, so my safety from crime badge will vanish the next time that stat is measured and I didn't meet the qualifications.
