Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

RDF- Regional Defence Force
FRA- Founderless Regions Alliance

----------------------------------------

I keep on explaining the same thing to our new recruits so I thought I'd post it here so everyone can read it. I'll try and explain it simply, feel free to come back to it so you dont have to take it all in at once!

In NS the military aspect has been invented by players so the admins have adapted the game to suit it. Founderless regions are regions without a founder (obviously), and when a founder dies the regional controls swap to a delegate who can then eject and ban people from the region and password it (although the extent to which they can do this is limited by 'regional influence', but you'll learn more about that as you go along). Invaders seek to take control of regions by sending lots of WA nations into founderless regions and taking the delegacy by endorsing an invader lead. Many then destroy the region, often so they can refound the region (recreate it with them as a founder) and therefore have complete control over it and make the 'natives' join their region and army etc.

As defenders we seek to defend regions or 'counterinvade' as some people put it. We move in UNs to support the native delegate against an invasion or we endorse a defender lead so we can take the delegacy and ban and eject the invaders. This is called a defence.

We also sometimes have to liberate regions that are already under the control of invaders. This is a lot harder, you have to find the update time (the time when the server counts endorsements and changes the delegacy which happens daily). Then we have to move as many WAs in as possible in the short minute or two minute slot before update so that the invader doesnt have time to banject us.

Its great fun and there are some much more advanced tactics that are used which hopefully you'll pick up on along the way.

The FRA site has a clock we sometimes use to coordinate movement. We also sometimes chat over MSN and Yahoo messenger programs to coordinate our actions. Other methods are available as well. We can have everyone in and endorsed within 30 seconds if we move smoothly.
"Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

Its usually a case of learning from more experienced members and getting used to the system.

Regions like 10000 Islands have been liberating regions for about 6 years now and some of their original members are still there so these systems that we base some of our own off are tried and tested and we have experienced individuals to help new members into the system.

We actually managed to move everyone in in a two second window once :D

Not talking about moving region, more about how to get the right time exactly without being booted.

There's a few ways to do it, if it's within 24 hours the delegate will have something that says he was elected however many hours ago, when it changed you know the update is X amount of hours away.
