It really depends on what you like to do. You can roleplay, join in the regional politics fun along with invading/defending other regions with WA nations, you can discuss WA resolutions, discuss issues, chat in the general forum, have some fun in the F7 forum..
You could give all of it a try and see where your interests are and which you like.

I see you are in 10000 Islands region, so maybe it would also be an idea to join the regional forum there, it is an active region and I'm sure they can help you along in the game.

1. Join the World Assembly! Participate in its two councils, The General Assembly and the Security Council! Whoo!!

2. Stickies always helpful..

3. Okay well the forum is organized between the Roleplay subforums (where you post in-character and essentially write narratives about your nation), the World Assembly subforums (where you post regarding resolutions in the World Assembly, the game's own version of the United Nations), the Gameplay subforums (where you post about the game itself.. such as things that regard your region) and the General Discussion subforums (where you can discuss/chat about real-life). The divide is broken down further from there.

Is there anything in particular that you're looking to do/find? We can probably help.

If you want a quiet region, join United Nerdy Empires.

Anyway, the forum can be great if you find good threads. If you RP, join early and stay the whole game.

Meanwhile, set your settings to 2 issues per day to shape your nation faster. If that's what you wan't, that is.

You can decide to try to keep your nations table or have it fluctuate wildly with constant changes of government form.

Join the WA and vote on legislation.

HAVE FUNE!

If you want to have discussions about real life, go to General or Arts&Fiction.
And if you just want to have some fun, go to Forum 7 (F7)

Does this help? You should also read the stickies(the forum topics that are at the top of each of the first forum pages) before posting in any of these.

Factbooks And National Information-- Use it to give information about your nation. You could create a factbook and give some depth to your nation. You can also put your embassy here.
NationStates----------------------------- Use it to basically intereact with other nations at a non-diplomatic or diplomatic level. I.E., international school exchange programs, conferences, summits, elections, etc.
International Incidents------------------ Use it for war and major events in your nation.
Global Economics And Trade----------- Use it for creating storefronts, or talk about trading with other nations.
NS Sports--------------------------------- As the title says, use it to compete in sports among other nations.

--To post in the following, you do not need to be in the World Assembly, despite their name and implications.
General Assembly------------------------ Use to partake in voting, debating, or even creating resolutions for the World Assembly to help improve the world.
Security Council-------------------------- This is a newer one that's easier to understand. It's a branch of the World Assembly. Use it to vote, debate, or even create resolutions, but only for the condemnation and commendation of nations and regions. Regions can also be liberated from password protection.
WA Archives----------------------------- You cannot actually post in here. It is for holding extremely influential resolutions of the World Assembly.

--You do not need to be part of the World Assembly for any of the following Topics. All forums here and after are OUT OF CHARACTER.
Gameplay-------------------------------- Use it talk of nation management, regional politics, and parts of the game that are not the forums. IT IS NOT AN ROLEPLAY FORUM.
Got Issues?------------------------------ The title is misleading. This topic is actually for posting daily issues that your nations receives. You can learn how each one will effect your nation here.

Technical-------------------------------- This is where you post REAL problems. Bug reports and problems with the site go here.
Moderation------------------------------ Use it to report rule breaking, and things that are against site rules. You can also ask certain questions pertaining to the rules here. See to it that you don't break the rulesand get caught, hehehe.

General--------------------------------- Generally, use it to discuss and debate about anything.
Arts & Fictions------------------------ Discuss art, music, books, movies, TV, eachother's own works, and existential angst.
Forum 7-------------------------------- The Greatest Forum of them all. Use it to kick back, joke, goof off, or RP things that don't have to do with your nation.

Archives------------------------------- You cannot post in this forum. It is where moderation puts the greatest threads that ever existed on NationStates.

You don't actually have to be in the WA to post in the General Assembly/Security Council forums.

If you want to ask about roleplay, best to ask in NationStates or International Incidents, those are roleplay forums. This isn't.

Roleplay doesn;t affect your nation. It's all made up stuff.
