I used to play NationStates when I was in middle school, but I stopped because I got bored. Now I'm back and quite confused, but hopefully figuring everything out. I'd appreciate any help I can get, or at least a friendly nation. I joined the African Continent and plan on setting up a nation description soon. So... hello! |

Hi. :) Could you possibly answer a question for me? I'd like to get my nation on the world map. How would I go about doing that? |

Hi there. One doesn't get on the world map directly. You need to first get on a regional map, and then when the world map is updated (occasionally), it will be changed to reflect the newest regional maps. What region do you want your country to be in? (Our five regions are African Continent, American Continent, Asian Continent, European Continent. and Middle East) |

You would send a PM to the mapmaker of the region you wish to go into. Check the map link in the appropriate forum and send your e-mail to the mapmaker indicated giving your nation's name, capital, and location desired on the map! If you are unsure of the mapmaker put your request in the map link. Edited by New Harumf, Jun 13 2010, 10:16 AM.

Thank you both. My region is going to be the African Continent if they'll have me. Now I'm off to find a mapmaker. |

F*k yeah! I'm not the new kid anymore. I hope you stay around. Yeah, and that was a bad idea to mention that. You just awakened the hormones in a bunch of nerdy text-based MMORPG players. Good luck. Don't worry about me though, I'm throwing all my hormones at someone in real life, so there's not enough to go around anyways. Oh, and you should join the European continent, its much better :gnarkgnark: |

Welcome, Les! It's about time we got some more female influence around here. Allessandra is the only girl here and I don't know if there where any others in the history of the forum. For the maps, you'll have to talk to the regional mapmakers, like everyone else said. I'm in charge of the world map, so I take all the region maps every once in a while and compile them into the large one. If you want to RP in Africa, its best to talk to Ulgania, since Africa is more or less his continent when it comes to activity. |

Hehe, your reactions to that made me laugh for some reason. I'm one of the few intelligent teenage girls in the world. I swear, we're a dying breed. I never see websites where the majority are males, though. Usually I'm in the majority. This will be an... interesting experience. I'll go talk to Ulgania, then. I intend on staying for a while. Pfft, maybe I'll join Europe. Eventually. (Probably not. :P) |

Europe gets all the attention. I swear I'm going to raze it before I'm done with this place. :dry: :rolleyes: :evil: |

Never mind, I just realized that there's a South America. :P If I ever make another nation, that's where I'm going. |

You are allowed to have a nation in every region, as well as two in the Americas (since there is North and South). So feel free to make whatever nations you care for, within those rules. |

Thanks for the clarification. :) Eventually I'll have a South American nation, and possibly an Asian nation, then. |

Oh, I have another question. What's the site's policy on minor use of foreign languages, if I include translations? I know some websites are English-only, which is why I ask. |

The rule (is it technically a rule? I think so...) is to post in English. We have a couple users who don't speak English as a first language, but they get along. If you put up translations then I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue. |

Feel free to do whatever. As far as I now, there are no rules prohibiting it. I and other have used some, and no one said a word, so you'll be fine if you do. |

I ask because most of my characters don't speak English as a first language, so they would use terms and such from my made-up language (which is essentially Romani, with some English and some made-up words.) But for the most part, they would speak in English to people from other nations. |

Bainventu! Good to see some more estrogen around this sausage fest that is NSWR. Hopefully you'll stay, and hopefully you'll put a nation in Europe eventually. :P Oh, and I'd refrain from posting a picture, at least for now. We're a pretty decent bunch... but yeah. Shit can happen. :lol: EDIT: Holy fuck, you made up your own language too? Siiick. Mine is basically another Romance language, closely related to French and Italian.

Translations are preferred but unnecessary. We're not English only. |
