How do I create a Forum for my Region?

How do I create new things such as.. issues to vote upon and things such as that to make my Region more interesting?

What all Can I do in my Region... as far as Prospering it?

And how do I create a Military for my Region? And For my Country... Like to defend or Go to War???

1. You have to make it on another website like invisionfree or zetaboards
2.You can't unless your region role-plays or does those things on another forum or an RMB
3.Mostly trying to attract members
4.You can't unless you make it up on the forums in the Nationstates or International Incidents threads.

1. There are other websites where you can create a forum. Most regional forums use those.

2. You can write your own issues for your region privately, but they won't be official. If you're talking about issues for individual nations, you can submit your own once you reach a certain population (750 million, I think).

3. Just do your best to attract members and develop a fun, active community. Check out this.

4. You have two choices: roleplay, or gameplay. Here is a helpful thread on gameplay militaries.

Hope I helped! :)

500 million (which takes about 3 months to reach).

It's very simple, there are plenty of hosts out there. Some for free, some that you pay for. The two most common being Invisionfree and Proboards. Both are free, though for upgraded services/features, you have to pay.

With issues, you can submit some proposals here. Remember they are reviewed and not necessarily used. So don't be discouraged if you don't see yours published. Keep trying :)

For the second part of your question, most regions have multiple promotions, ranging from role-play to regional governments to militaries to general chit chat. Having games/debates on both the forum and your RMB is a great way to get nations involved. Your goal is to simply provide every comfort possible to the residents of your region. Do so successfully, make them feel involved and important, and your region will succeed.

Nexim wrote:What all Can I do in my Region... as far as Prospering it?


Depends how you define "prosper." For some that means having a big region that affects gameplay, for others a small community that mostly role-plays. As I said above, whatever your goals are, try making your residents feel like they matter, that they have a reason to log on daily and contribute, and your region will prosper.

Nexim wrote:And how do I create a Military for my Region? And For my Country... Like to defend or Go to War???


For your country, that's role-play, whether on the NS forums, yours, or both. For your region that's a different matter entirely, and depends if you wish to defend other regions or raid them.

I hope that helps, and best of luck! If you have any other questions, need some other tips or advice, don't hesitate to ask!

Respectfully Yours,

Honestly? Figure it out yourself. NS is a game of creativity.

Or we can be helpful to the new people like the several people who answered before you.

Good luck Nexim :)

The only question he asked worth answering was how to make forums, and how to make a military. Everything else is up to him entirely.

There was no need for a rude post after several people already gave helpful answers. If you aren't going to say something useful in a help thread, you should stay out of it.

Exactly, not to mention, new nations aren't necessarily aware of the features of the game, it's limitations, and the room for other activities on the off-site forums.

Ah, I more read it as a "try to be creative" kind of post.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I just have a gift for it. I was trying to be terse and to the point. ANyway let's not get into this argument, it's not a good idea.
