Dear experienced players of Nationstates. I know some nations can have some sort of tags (e.g. issue writer,forum moderator,WA member etc.),which,I'd say ,are quite clear.Yet recently ,I viewed a nation (of which I don't remember the name) which was classified as Wa member and School Class nation.
Now,what makes a nation a School class nation? What is a School class nation?

Thank you

Basically, it was one of the many unexpected results of Max's silly little book promotion game: he got teachers using it to augment class lessons, particularly in subjects such as social studies or political theory. Classroom regions were a tool developed to better facilitate this use for educators.

Nowadays, we get easily a few dozen classroom region requests annually, ranging from elementary school teachers to college professors. There's more info here about class regions and Nationstates as a teaching tool for those curious. Needless to say, given current events I think we've had more classroom region requests than usual this year.
