Questions about TITO

[Ferinionque]

Now, I have been on this forum for some time, but I still don't understand what the heck TITO is. What does invading mean, because to my knowledge NS doesn't have a war system.  What exactly must you do as a member of TITO? How much time does involvement in TITO need? And are there any benefits in joining TITO?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but this is something I just can't seem to get a hang of.

Thanks,
Ferinionque.

PS: First time creating a thread on this forum, excuse me if the category isn't right. Also, forgive my absolutely horrible English.

NationStates "War" consists of taking control of the World Assembly Delegacy in regions, founderless regions mostly.

Raiders/Invaders seek to take over the delegacy to occupy the region for an undetermined time, or, ban every member of the region as to refound the region as a trophy.

TITO, and other defenders, seek to stop that from happening. Either they attempt to intercept raiders as they are invading a region or they seek to liberate a region that is occupied.

Invading and Defending happens ( mostly ) two times a day, during update, which is when Region's update who the Delegate is. Updates happen at 5AM and 5PM UTC.

There's also this thread: 10000islands.proboards.com/thread/38803/join-premier-defence-force-nationstates Not sure how many questions it would answer.
