It's just annoying, nothing more. The new region surves the exact same purpose
The Holy Empire of The Phaneufian wants war with all other regions.. this game sucks!

The Holy Republic of CannibalisticCheese

"We eat the young!"

UN Category: Iron Fist Consumerists
Civil Rights:
Few
Economy:Good
Political Freedoms:Unheard Of
Location: ALLIED CP

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Holy Republic of CannibalisticCheese is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 26%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.
Crime is a problem. CannibalisticCheese's national animal is the hyena, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dogma.

The Republic of Mad Dog Mccree

UN Category:
Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights:Average
Economy:Thriving
Political Freedoms:Very Good Location: The New Allied CP

Regional Influence: Ambassador


The Republic of Mad Dog Mccree is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Mad Dog Mccree's national animal is the dogs and its currency is the martin.

The Holy Empire of Intelligunt Desine

"Free from all rational sensibility"

UN Category: Corporate Police State
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Unheard Of
Regional Influence: Minnow


The Holy Empire of Intelligunt Desine is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt government concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Defence are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming industries.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Intelligunt Desine's national animal is the behemoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the irreducible complexity.

click on the nation you want to endorse and you bring up that nation's info. At the bottom of the page above the option to send a telegram there should be an endorse option.

On a side note you have to be a member of the UN in order to endorse another nation, so on the left go to United Nations and click to apply, the application process is bascially saying you want to apply and they approve you, if I recall all it is, is simply clicking a button.

where it says "tired of this region try moving to another" (or something to that effect)

click that and then there should be an option to start your own region.

But why would you want to leave The New Allied CP? We're new, improved, and better than ever

I think that we all need to endore everyone from CP in order to ensure the strength needed to withstand takeovers. But that's just me. So I'm endorsing everyone.

Everyone should list their country. Some names are easily recognized, but I don't recognize others and don't want to endorse a non-CPer. Here are a few I recognize... (although I can't endorse you if you don't join the UN)

Bobblehead - Bobblenoggin
kermitology - The Phaneufian
Textcritic - Intelligunt Desine
Mccree - Mad dog mccree
Flashpoint - CP Flashpoint
firefly - The Flies of fire
Maritime East - Maritime Q-Scout

One questions I have.

Can we (as a region) take over other regions (there must be away)
Can we have "wars" within our region (not that I want to just wondering)
Other than pick issues, endoresments etc.. what else can we do in the game.

I see alot of potential but not sure if it is all there.

In the FAQ it says

Quote:
How do I go to war against another nation? Or trade?

In one sense, you can't. NationStates doesn't include these things -- because it's a simple game, and because they would bias things in favor of militaristic and capitalist nations. One of the nice things about NationStates is that you can craft a nation into your idea of Utopia without having to worry about such pragmatic concerns as national defence.
Into the breach, however, steps the NationStates community, which has independently devised an entire system covering war, trade, and just about anything else you can think of. This takes place entirely on the forums (mostly in International Incidents), and is role-played.
Many people have asked about the possibility of a more sophisticated version of NationStates, with trade, military conflicts, and more. This does sound cool, but I haven't decided yet if I want to do that. It would be a lot of work, and I'd have to charge people to play it. But it's possible.

I don't think my nation profile could be any more appropriate..

The Holy Empire of The Phaneufian is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, cynical population of 111 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
