Okay, if you want to apply for official regional membership, do so here.

Benefits include a position on the map, and access to the region boards. And we won't kick you from the region at a randomly determined time.

Give your nation name exactly as it is on NationStates; linking to it would also be convenient. If you have a factbook, link us that. If you have anything resembling a factbook, link us to it, or paste it here if it cannot be linked. Then link to some choice examples of your RPing ability. They will help us decide whether or not to accept your application. We're looking for more than RPing ability, but that is certainly part of it. If you link to off-NS RPs, make sure we can actually access them. If you lack RPs or other examples of your writing, then consider getting into an RP with a member of the region either prior to applying, or just afterward.

You should also consider giving us an idea of where you would like your nation placed on our map.

After that, we'll handle the rest. You may be invited to come to the IRC so we can talk to you as part of the application process. It is important that keep tabs on your application and post in your application thread to note your continued interest, and even to TG myself. Coming onto the IRC regularly will certainly help us make our decision.

HOW NOT TO APPLY

There are certain things that are likely to expedite your rejection, and we have seen them in the past. These things include:

1) Your idea of a map claim is as large or larger than Erusea, particularly when you have a nation of only a few dozen million.

2) You have a history of changing nations and have yet to ever stick to one long enough to really RP it.

3) You decide to be impatient or disrespectful on the IRC, especially to region members who haven't said much of anything negative to you.

4) Your attitude toward your country and our region is that it (your country) must necessarily be the best ____ or have the largest ______ or that it should be the regional center of ______

5) Be unwilling to make changes to your nation: these changes may (and almost certainly will) include an overhaul of your map (we don't like pasting random islands onto our map), an overhaul of your history (you really must fit in with our history), and changes to your climate (we have a climate map)

Please note that rejection from this region says nothing about our opinion of you as a person. Many times, it has to do with the nation in question not being suitable, and sometimes it's just a terrible first impression. Applying with other nations is, of course, acceptable, but note that trying to "sneak into the region" using a secret puppet is really pointless. We don't reject based on the player himself, but on what we see during the application process.

Oh, and we'll probably know who you actually are, anyway. It's been done multiple times in the past. You would not be the first.
