How to Choose a Region to Move To?

Postby Oppermenia » Fri Jun 29, 2018 10:30 am

Hey, this is Oppermenia.
So, I was a resident of the Conventist Federation when the Langor regime fell. The region was put into peril, with a nation I have close relations with being made executive delegate. That nation appointed me Vice-Delegate, and together we'd work together to rebuild it into the glory it once was, only we'd be better than our predecessors.
However, then a raid happened. We had to set up a small region to move to called the Centrist Union. I wanted to continue the region-building there, but it seems like since we're currently small, not much is going on with that. I don't have much of a role, either. So, I was wondering if I should stick with them and still help them build the region, or if I should leave. But then, I wondered how to choose a region to go to.
So, should I leave, or stick with them? And how do I choose what region to move to?
"Stick to the pack, and the pack will provide."
We are a leftist nation that believes in the "we" over "I". That's why we are fond of wolves, because the Alpha looks after the pack.
Stick with us, and give us loyalty, and we'll do things that benefit you, and we'll stick with you.
If you cross us, however, then as a pack, we will hunt you.
Don't underestimate us.

You just wandered behind the bleachers to ask the burnouts what to do with your D&D character.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Usually people decide on the basis of ideology or similar interests. For example, a leftist would join one of the leftist regions etc, or a person interested in medieval RP would join a medieval-themed region.

Hi, i'm brand new here after discovering this site and i would love to find a new region to start with that would help me get into the game. what i'm interested in is:

- A region that isn't too controlling on how i deal with my issues, As i'm new i'd like to able to build my nation up how i want too.
- Worldbuilding, I love coming up with different things like what cities are in my nation and things like cultures, national sports, etc little details like that
- Roleplaying, I also really love roleplaying as a character, so that's why i was brought here with the idea of playing as a King which was actually able to do.
- Welcoming to new players, as I'm new i'd love to be able to have a region with a little bit more experience be able to really teach me how to properly do things around here and show me the ropes I'm a quick learner on some things but others not so much


Really what i'm looking for is a good starter region that would be able to put up with me trying to learn how the game works and won't expect me to know everything that i'm supposed to know.

International Democratic Union welcomes newcomers, and has a number of players who are willing to help. Despite the name, it's open to nations of most types rather than only to democracies. (The only type really banned are outright Nazis...)
We already do some world-building -- for example, there's a regional map on which resident nations can request space, and there's a Regional Ecologist who could help you sort out your nation's wildlife if you want -- and other roleplay.

Viranos revolves pretty much entirely around worldbuilding and roleplaying, especially regarding interactions between nations and characters from them. We're open to pretty much anybody of any ideology, both in-character and out-of-character, as long as people aren't jerks about it; the only real requirement is speaking (typing) understandable English and having an interest in roleplaying.

Although, I will admit, it might not be the best choice for you, as we tend to throw new folks into the deep end pretty quickly.

We also feature lots of fantasy elements in a modern setting, which is a turn-off for some people.

^^^ This. There's plenty of sticky threads in GE&T that will probably have what you're looking for. There's not too many RP regions that focus solely on economics, but some that regard it as a bigger factor in RP than others.

I don't know exactly what you mean by that, but my relatively new region Cinderia has a strong economic component.
We rank nations in a number of power slots and define their nominal GDP and nominal GDP per capita. The power slots are divided into 3 superpowers, 5 great powers, 7 middle powers and no limits on small powers.
The details of the power position ranking can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=443774

Futhermore, the map has several natural resources listed which serve as guidelines for geopolitical RP's which also have an economic twist.
The details on the map and its resources can be found here (in the spoiler tags further down): viewtopic.php?f=23&t=443651

I am looking for an active region with a map of some sort. Preferably, the map should allow for relatively large nations. A Christian region would be nice, as long as it tolerates a sort of strange form of government (a type of theocratic pseudo-confederacy ruled by a overarching central government). Non religious is fine too.

If anything I would really like a region with its own specific rules for how conflicts and events play out. While I do somewhat like roleplaying, I am not the best at it and would really like a sort of defined ruleset. Light roleplaying regions or heavy roleplaying regions that do not expect too much skill are fine too.

You should check out Greater Olympus we have a pretty cool map if I do say so myself, and the size of the nation is pretty easy to control on your end (although there are ramifications for any choice).

We have a cool system in place that gives what we call land bios, which show population maximums and what type of economy your nation would have, without trying to dictate to much information. The goal of the system is simply to focus your nation a bit more and help jump start world building. We are fairly active and the discord is a lot of fun so I'd say pop in and give us a look!
Looking for a decent RP region to join? Try Greater Olympus.

Howdy all!

I am looking for a moderately sized region that focuses on character-driven cooperative roleplay. I'd prefer one that has areas for stories unrelated to NS, and while I don't mind using my nation as a starting point I would like a place that caters to drama and adventure as opposed to hard politics and GDP/troop counts. In fact, if I go to my grave and never once have to calculate my nation's exports or the number of tanks I will die a happy Val.

I don't mind an offsite forum, but would prefer a region that is already established with a decently active community of writers willing to take new characters. I've already bounced through too many half-baked regions only for them to disintegrate once a story started getting momentum and then having to craft something from scratch a week later. My preferred style is para to multi-para RP, focusing on one primary for each writer with NPCs as needed.

You could try Greater Olympus, yes it is a region that likes statistics but only the basics are needed such as population and how your nation fits in the world economically, and military size (There is no GDP here), but you do not have to worry about the trivial stuff. There is a place for all types RP'ers, since RP's don't have to be limited to hard politics, it can be anything reasonable.

Viranos likes to nail down some basic statistics and a nation's place/role in the global community, but it revolves mostly around interactions between nations and the character interactions and adventures that occur as a result. As an added bonus, we're also really heavily fantasy-influenced (although we use MT/early PMT), so that also serves as a catalyst for a lot of things and a contributor to the overall theme of the region.
