There isn't. Generally people looking for a region will post a new thread, as the responses tend to be specific to them.

Seems a bit quiet, but I'll spark some activity with some assistance in the region.

Yeah. It is mainly because I have so many endorsements, I might as well just be delegate. Yay for momentum, I guess?

What kind of region are you looking for, Dark Star Republic? Big, small... democratic, autocratic etc. ? Friendly, Political, Apolitical etc.? Left-wing, Right-Wing..

Aye: we might be able to help; alternately, you can try using the region tags. :)

See now this is a time where NSwiki would come in handy. I'm currently in talks with the owner to get it revived or at least have a means to get the data out.

Anyway, this could be helpful: http://nationstatestpc.proboards.com/in ... hread=1547

A defender. Pope Hope's right hand man in the ADN. In the later years, some argue he ran the ADN for the most part. He was also a politician in The Meritocracy. He had a rivalry with EuroSoviets and was known to be aggressive when he wanted to be -- kind of an alpha dog personality from what I've heard. But stories can be misleading. Certainly a well respected figure in NS History, he played a large role in driving the game in and around 2004-2005.

UDL has a propaganda piece he wrote once:
http://s4.zetaboards.com/UDL/topic/9732219/

It's pretty badass. I can't say I've met him, but I know when I joined the game, nobody would call me "Uni" because that title belonged to Unistrut (who had left the game only a few months before I got involved).

I thought you were Unistrut for a bit when I first came back.

But your summary is pretty close to what I remember. He was great with people until they disagreed with him, and the ADN often seemed more like his show than anybody else's (which helped the RIA reach the decision to leave). My region never got too deep into the ADN's system to know how much was really his call though. It was all too political for us.

Unistrut did more to hurt to defenders than nearly any invader ever. His crusade against non-ADN defender organizations, such as the RLA, helped the raider cause by de-stablizing a culture of defender cooperation that had existed since the days when we fought the Atlantic Alliance/Atlantic Central Command. His disdain for democracy was legendary, and his role in the destruction of the vestigial and barely functioning remnants of democratic control in the ADN spelled the end for an organization of inclusiveness and openness. The only kind thing I can say is that he is no longer here.
