The Black Hawk Problem

[Hatslandia]

I am the founder of Commonwealth Confederation. Recently, a big military organization called the Black Hawks managed to temporarily take it over. I managed to ban the nation responsible and a person who endorsed it. If you see a white flag with some green spikes in the top left corner, ban it. That nation has multiple accounts that raided much more tiny nations. The raider appoints themselves as "a", and changes the region's flag to The Black Hawks flag, as well as making the world factbook entry a recruiting page for their region. I suggest banning all people involved in the raid and add them and The Black Hawks to your dossier. Make sure you got a trusted head of security going for you, and run background checks on all new nations. Any small regions wishing for a coalition send me an embassy since I only wished for my region to be peaceful and diplomatic. Let me be an example for all of you reading this. INDEPENDENT REGIONS SHALL NOT FALL!

I feel you. However, I don't think going against TBH alone is a good idea - they are too large. Try to ally "defender" regions, such as TGU, as they are officially anti-raider.

[New Excalibus]

Alright, you had it going well for a while. But now, you're officially screwed. If you don't like a big region, don't declare war on it.
It only makes it worse.

[Nau States]

As a neutral party with knowledge of TBH, I'd recommend you read on them. You see, TBH is the premier military organisation in NS. Not someone you should declare war on, in other words.
As the Egyptians once said, "Death comes on swift wings." Addendum: a Black Hawk's wings.

I can tell you are quite naive. If you want the Black Hawks to not attack you, then maybe don't declare war on them.

[Hatslandia]

Well, I will try to contact TGU. I accidentally declared war and told their WA in a telegram. Thank you all for the advice, however, I will need it. In the telegram, I said I will be at war until they leave me alone. I'm gonna try to contact TGU

Honestly, you should feel lucky that a founder was on site, ready to fix it, just don’t declare wa in a raider region with litteraly tree people on your side.

You can keep your region from being raided again by going into your Regional Controls and taking Executive power away from the WA Delegate by clicking "Modify" next to the WA Delegate's slot in the Officers category, unchecking the "Executive" box, and clicking "Enact Changes."

Without Executive power for the WA Delegate, raiders can't appoint Regional Officers, which is likely to stop them from doing anything else to your region. Just to be on the safe side now that you've probably attracted their interest, you may also want to uncheck the "Communications," "Embassies," and "Polls" boxes, because they would still be able to become WA Delegate and change those settings if those boxes stay checked.

Lucky that you're the altruistic one of the bunch, or we'd be able to see a raid loop go on for a month or two.

[Thatcher Whitehall]

Hatslandia, I wouldn’t trust Cormactopia Prime. That guy is a shady character round’ these parts. If I were you, I would make sure that the WA Delegate is executive so that when evil nations enter, your delegate has the power to fight back. As Winston Churchill once said, “You can’t reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.”

What Cormac and Consular said. If you want to jab TBH you should probably look into some defending organizations, I'm sure they'd appreciate another pair of hands.

Although I can't raid anymore, I haven't yet folded up my Raider Unity pom-poms and sweater-skirt combo.

[Felt Karpit]

nope

Yeah. You should definitely keep your WA delegate executive, it makes your region so much better.

[Contala]

I see there is a issue with Black Hawks. We have sent a embassy request, and we plan on improving relations. We will improve relations, and we want to start a regional alliance with you. We will help protect and improve.

[Cosmopolitan borovan]

Op you have no idea what raids actually are. I suggest you go join a raiding and defending organization if u want to know.

Lol

[McChimp]

Keep your delegacy executive and we shall have an embassy soon enough.

[Sancta Romana Ecclesia]

I agree with previous posters. You should keep executive power for the World Assembly Delegate. Makes region that much more interesting and active, you will see many more nations joining in, etc. In all of the top 8 most populous regions WAD has executive powers, you honestly think that it's just a coincidence?

[Kyorgia]

These "keep the delegacy executive" jokes are really getting stale guys

Seriously. The first couple were mildly funny, at best.

[Hired Contractor II]

You made a good decision in choosing "AFTER SLAPPING RAIDERS SENSELESS VINNY" as your Head Of Regional Security, as he successfully thwarted a second raid attempt by The Black Hawks.
