Looking for a GREAT region

[1900 A New Century]

Hello Forum!

I've just started in the world and I don't really know if all those automatized regions ads I received really reflect what really goes on in their respective regions.

So I'd like to know people's opinion on which region offers the most balanced and active approach to the game, which would be ideal for a newcomer like myself.

Invitations are much appreciated as well, just make sure that what you say is really true, if it's not I won't stay!

Thanks in advance

That would depend on what kind of player you want to be.

Do you like RP? Or are you one of those people who likes to focus on the "Gameplay" side and raid other regions?

If you're a roleplayer, I can recommend Sovereign Charter. As for Raiding, I'm not one of them, so I wouldn't know.

[Rifty]

look here - big letters mean it's the best choice!

Now - In the grand scheme of things we are fairly large but for their to be a decent democratic process you do need a few candidates. If the region is small everyone will get the position they so desire yet lack the power as a collective to achieve anything of value. The Association of Imperialism is 160 large and has a fair and large democratic government. Three Overseer positions (Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs and Citizens) with each overseer being able to appoint two secretaries. You then have the single Tribunal member who is democratically elected and represents us in The Purified Commonwealth. In the Tribunal whomever is elected with the most votes by those within the tribunal becomes Chancellor of our region. We also have a High overseer that directs the government. Finally we have a Lord Regent/WA Delegate who is elected. All positions are voted every 2 months aside from the Lord Regent who is elected every 6 months.

There are two other positions reserved for the founders - Prophet and Imperial General; These are not elected sadly~

We have an active community and large military. A personal radio station, roleplays and debates just to name a few things we do here!

[Myraxia]

Don't make me break out the huge font, Rifty. Don't make me do it!

Over in Sovereign Charter we have the "Council of Rebirth", which theoretically anyone from the region can join. Most choose not to apply for some reason, but most who do get in. Once in, you can take part in any of the meetings, cast votes, all that fun stuff.
And the only requirement in taking part in our regional RPs is being in the region.

And we have THREE radio stations!

Come visit! And stay.

Please stay.

Balanced means touching every aspect of the game. That was my one criteria along with reasonnable activity.

You don't really get regions that do both RP and raiding, from what I've seen.
It's one or the other, I believe.

As far as activity goes, we're at 180-something nations, and we're very active. Well, not all of them, but we have quite a few active players.

[Khronion]

I'd like to note that many players join several communities. For example, I serve as a minister in Warzone Europe, but have an alter-ego who happens to hang out with a bunch of raiders in the Association of Imperialism while helping out elsewhere. You might consider dropping by multiple groups while you decide where your niche is.

With that said, I'd invite you to come visit Warzone Europe. We're small and homey, have a small but growing military, opportunities for offensive and defensive military gameplay, and a government with appointed and elected positions. We maintain close ties with many regions, including other Warzones, as well as the Association of Imperialism, so you can interact with many different communities as well. We're lacking on the RP front, but there's been movement to establish a pan-Warzone RP recently.

If you want to try raiding, there's Sicarius and the Association of Imperialism. The Black Riders is a big raiding organization, but they don't seem to have the same kind of regional community that you're looking for.

Wherever you go, do take a look at their regional forums. Many regions conduct the majority of their affairs off-site, either for security reasons, or simply because its easier to manage many different interactions on a dedicated forum.

Hope you find a regional home.

Actually, it appears I tell a lie. You do get those who do both.

Huh.

I'd still recommend the RP side of things more than raiding, though.

Well where most raiders come in as raiders and have that as the base - We came in as just a chatty community who decided to take up raiding as a side project. Over time it grew into a large part of the region,

We do all three things! xD

Your region has no community - it is just a large puppet dump. Not to mention the fact I have not seen you raid or defend; ever.

Well, I feel like an idiot now.

Ignore him - He came to me about 4 days ago with 20 citizens asking for an embassy; I said no and only regions with 100 members. Four days later he has 100 members - Puppet dump. Read the RMB - There is no community. Plus i have not seen their name in either raiding or defending.

Well, you seem a nice fellow anyway.

I wouldn't know much about Raiding/Defending, considering it's not something we've ever really done. We know a few people in the Eternal Knights, but that's about it.

We're Roleplay, pure and simple. I think it's better that way. I honestly don't see the point in R/D.

How could we be a puppet dump? Also, see Persian Empire and we refound-raid. And your region is just a region with a wicked religion, if I use your logic.

I don't want to get done for thread jacking so this is my last post - Feel free to telegram me and we can debate it there

As much as like every other raiding region we raid all regions - I don't agree with that. I think tagging is wrong. Raiding for me is a tool to achieve my goals.

The Eternal Knights are a very poor example of both raiding and defending. No allies and No success. They won't be accepted by raiders down to Nephmir's actions and they won't be accepted by defenders down to their raiding acts.

You make lots of nations and move them into your region - Our WA percentage is larger then yours yet we have one of the largest militaries on NS; meaning a lot of our WAs aren't in our region. You have FIVE WA members out of 100 - Realistically each person in your region has 19 puppets. Also that ain't a refound raid - Do you even know what a refound is? xD

and our religion is beautiful.

[Ambrella]

You may like Europeia! We're a very large, active, democratic region with a strong sense of community. We're well established in NS, and we partake in most facets of the game. I've been in the region for 5 years and have not once regretted it.

20? 4 days ago? Continue lying! I contacted you at least 20 days ago with 70/80 members!

Persian Empire is a normal raid. I said we mostly refound-raid. Example: UNSOK.

We got 7 WA members. I don't move puppets to my region. I have never done that either! Except for four, to send to other regions.

Also, I can't just tell all my members to join WA. Some refuse, others don't know how. It's a huge mess. xD

[Valrifell]

Bigger text means this is clearly the most superior region! Look! Colors too!

Sicarius is a region striving to become something amazing. What we want is to become a great and tight-knit community that encompasses all that makes NationStates a fantastic 'lil game. However, we do lack the most important aspect of a region to accomplish said goal.

Individuals! Sicarius is a region plagued by lack of nations intrigued, which is depressing because those that are active in the region want to see it become something fantastic, as do I. Here in Sicarius, the executive in-game government listens to suggestions from the community. Want a discussion or RP on the WFE? Ask us! Hell, it doesn't even have to be region related! (Though that would probably increase your chances of being looked at *wink*) One of the advantages of having a slightly lower active population is that our RMB is not nearly as spammy as the larger regions!

So, come on down to Sicarius! Be someone important! Be noticed! Be an individual!

[Nephmir]

Feel free to drop by The Eternal Knights. We strive to keep the region isolated yet open to new members. Our "Arsenal" is one of the largest compilations of military tactics, guides, and tools in the game, and is always expanding as we find and create more tools and tactics. You'll pick up on the game in no time!

We've recently established a new base, and an operation is coming to an end within the next week. We're currently working on creating a website where members can join "clans" which can work together to carry out that clan's purpose (kind of like political parties) and our forums are a host to whatever you wish, including Role Play, discussion, and any idea or new forum you want to propose.

All members are free to run their nations as they please, and despite the lack of political freedoms (we are a monarchy, with a more detailed and structured constitution coming soon) the region is high in civil rights with a decent amount of activity geared around whatever interests you. You want to see something new in the region? Awesome, get it approved and you'll be in charge of creating it.

We are expanding in our territory offsite right now, getting rooted in other sites and such to recruit more players to NS and to gain access to strategic locations, however at the turn of the new year after our 1 year anniversary as a region we will be spreading out our influence all across NS. Slowly at first, but definitely not something you'd want to miss.

We'd love to have you over. We're always glad to greet and welcome a new fellow knight.

I thank you all for your kind answers. The region I started in looks quite excelent so I'll stay in The East Pacific for now.

Perhaps I'll visit some of your regions later!
