About Us

Solidarity is an organisation in NationStates, aiming to be the interface between defender militaries, natives, and the greater NationStates universe; picking up where defenders leave off. We are a group of concerned nations, many of us natives ourselves, who have come together to work for the liberation and defense of invaded regions. Unlike regular defender organizations, we provide moral support during raids, and help the natives rebuild after the raid is over. This aspect is what makes us unique; we are dedicated to not only coordinating with defender militaries to retake raided regions and restoring them, but helping rebuild governments and taking an active role in the community.

Currently, we have five official member regions—the Free Nations Region, the ITDA, SCS/Commuria, The League of Conservative Nations, and The Region That Has No Big Banks—and many more nations from other regions participating independently.

Please join us on our mission to help restore communities and defend regions from raiders. We're a very welcoming community, and if you'd like more information, please telegram Somyrion!

If your region is under attack by raiders, we will always be ready to help.

We stand with those who have been raided.

Semper Una

We're a bunch of people who help natives and coordinate liberations.

Oh! New Defender group trying to fill in the shoes of the FRA, eh? Let's see what we got here...

Got a flag, that's a good start. Simple and iconic design, nice work. Ooooo, dodgy Latin motto, not so good there. Oh well, let's move on to regions.

Ah, got TSP in there, so that's at least interesting. How about the others? Hmm, no real standouts as far as military experience or military strength. Looks like the group is going to be relying quite heavily on The South Pacific and Roavin. Almost reminds me of FRA and their later dependence on Lazarus and The Rejected Realms, so if you're trying to capture the worst qualities of the FRA, you're doing well on that end.

Hmm, no userite founderless region members? Disappointed. That was always my favorite target to attack back when ADN and RLA were around and when the Founderless Regions Alliance actually lived up to its name and had founderless regions in their alliance. If you ask me, things went down hill for them once they stopped admitting founderless regions because they didn't want to bother building or protecting them.

Well, at least you're capitalizing on the FRA's recent demise. Good luck with the whole region building thing.

Other than drafting illegal Liberation proposals and puppet-flooding invaded regions as a form of "moral support" for the native communities, what are you hoping to bring to the barren defender table?

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Ooooo, New opponents on the field are always fun. My higher level anti-liberation skills have grown ever so rusty. I look forward to meeting at the update - I just got my banhammer back from the forge, and I'm just itching to get some practice swings in St Abbaddon.

Evil Wolf, I would say in return that some of those names are about as active as TITO or TGW these days, so if they've ambition and activity, why not? Can always teach someone skill. I would say there's been, at least in my time on NS, a strong under-utilization of motivated but unskilled wannabe defenders, and this seems to be seeking to change that. I'm with you on the no founderless regions note though - first thing I checked was to see if I could raid any of the member regions ;P

Yeah, gotta check how correct that is, my Latin is.... uh... nonexistent.

Mmmm... you'd be right except that strong military experience is not something that is our highest value. More important is that we're dedicated and can work together. Though I certainly appreciate Roavin as far-and-away the most skilled in Solidarity.

Thanks! I hope it works out!

^ Reason #1 for founding Solidarity.

puppet-flooding invaded regions as a form of "moral support" for the native communities

'Twas my naïve beginnings in the R/D world as Solidarity with the Raided. The puppet spamming is no more.

[Somyrion]

Ooooo, dodgy Latin motto, not so good there.

What is the correct translation of "Always Together" or "Always One"? Whichever works better, or both!

Semper Iuncti or Semper Una would both work.

I have been vindicated!

tsunyun perspective:
I went through a week to get your discord link (it was broken on the WFE)
I get it, have peaceful natives days away from people I know in gameplay.
then you post it on GP and all the gameplay people I know show up >_>
>:c

respect perspective:

I like what you're doing, keep it up.
You're a relaxed defender who has common sense and more versatile and case-by-case
ty! xD

[Tim-Opolis]

Should be fun. I like the leadership of who I know in it, and it's good to see our friends in The South Pacific taking some of the reigns.

[Ikania]

Not Polish enough.

I should note that it's "Regions with members", not "participating regions". So TSP isn't officially involved, it's just that I (as Roavin) am and TSP is my home region. That's a subtle but very important difference.

Where's the Solidarity with Global Federation and St Abbaddon?

Where's the Solidarity with Global Federation and St Abbadon?

https://www.nationstates.net/region=st_abbaddon

Guess they don't rate you as a threat to the actual regions themselves, despite you refounding that new natives region earlier. Or they could be already falling inactive.

[Somyrion]

Where's the Solidarity with Global Federation and St Abbaddon?

Workin' on it.

Though as the description says we mainly do post-raid stuff, so Singapore comes first. Don't abandon horses in midstream!

"This aspect is what makes us unique; we are dedicated to not only coordinating with defender militaries to retake raided regions and restoring them, but helping rebuild governments and taking an active role in the community."

You're assuming we leave them to be helped? Bold strategy, Cotton. Seems like some of that could be used to helped them deal with our presence while we're there too.

Certainly, ball of fluff. Though you'd have to talk to our Director of Military Affairs about that. And at least in Solidarity, we prefer quality over quantity.

We do certainly sympathise though with the nations of Global Federation and St Abbaddon. I of course am planning to operate there; so far the main focus has been Singapore due to the scale and style of the raid, but over the course of the weekend we will most likely shift out attentions…

Now I know when to stay up for a puppet flooding liberation attempt!

Solidarity Update

---

Nations from Solidarity are currently working with the natives of Singapore in a restoration operation after the malevolent and depraved raid of that region by The Invaders. They are working to undo RMB damage and consult with natives about the future of the region.

Our mission in Singapore will continue, because we care about the well being of all nations. In Solidarity, we aim to prove this statement by a native/defender wrong:

"Defenders" are the people who come in once the "raiders" are gone," restore the flag, the WFE and the embassies, and then THEY move on, leaving the region just as vulnerable to attack as it was before the raiders who preceded them came. The ones who call themselves "defenders" don't really "DEFEND" regions at all, they only enable future raids. That's why I don't call them "defenders," I call them "raider-enablers."

We are not "raider-enablers". We do not just move on, leaving defenseless regions in our wake. Because we are Solidarity.

o7 Semper Una!

[Wordy]

You know you must be on the right track if raiders are doglegging your thread.

Good luck and nice to see that natives are your priority

[Pergamon]

Congratulations.
Just.. you know, as a solid advice I can give you for your yet unknown future: stay away from GCR politics.

We have a new, up-and-runnning website for Solidarity! It provides information about us, guides including a very nice one about the Security Council by our very own Commander and Director of SC Affairs Force de Frappe, and handy links!

The website can be found here!

o7 Semper Una!

At the minor today, Vermont was liberated from the forces of 'The Kawaii Empire'. Several nations from Solidarity took part in this small but significant operation, which provided many of these nations with their first time liberating, and subsequently, restoring, as will take place in the next couple of days.

I'd like to congratulate Lenlyvit, who even though his phone broke down at major last night was point for this liberation and did a great job for a first-timer! Kudos also goes to Stojam and of course our skilled military commander Roavin. Lenlyvit and our Director of SC Affairs, Force de Frappe, will be working with natives to continue the mission into a restoration!

o7 Semper Una!​

What exactly is restoration? Pointing them to the wfe tool? TG'ing ejected natives? Making sure raiders are removed? Teaching preventative measures for next time? What if the natives there are inactive?

All of the above, plus making sure a regional government is set up, engaging with the natives in discussion, becoming a part of the community, making sure all disputes are resolved...

Here, this may help you: http://nssolidarity.weebly.com/restoring.html

If the natives are inactive, well, we sometimes have to wait a while. It's how life goes. We'll set up things, stay for a while to make sure things are in good order, and if nobody awakes, we'll leave, but keep an eye on it.
