Well I''m finally going to open an embassy here for my home region. Although we have 175 nations a forum a regional defense force etc. we still do not have a paper...
But I will post the VERY brief history of our region that is now on our forum which is located at: z3.invisionfree.com/A_World_Power/index.php?
I have not edited it at all from when I wrote it in June so it's a bit messy:
00000 A World Power was founded in March of 2007. I, Neasmyrna, founded it. Neasmyrna is not my main nation. Petalumadom is.I had been switching regions almost everyday and I didn't like any of the regions I had been in. I had only been on nationstates five days when I founded the region. I don't know what went through my mind when I picked this name but it has turned out okay.
I founded the region and started just waiting for another UN nation to come so we could have a delegate. When Cross Sworf entered the region the next day I leaped for joy... We were going to have a delegate. I was so proud that I could say we had a delegate in my recruitment letters. Well we slowly started growing. When we reached about twenty nations a week later, I called for a delegate election. Heisdorf, a gigantic nation in my eyes was the best canidate. I received two votes that time. Heisdorf became delegate and we were able to give him five endorsements. I continued recruiting recruiting recruiting and we were growing fast. My best day ever, I bagged 17 nations in one day. A nation Magical representation suggested we male a forum, and asteryana (who has ceased to exis) made a forum for the region. It was pretty lame. A total of about 125 posts were made there.
After Heisdorf was delegate for two weeks we had another election. The nation Sith Clans of Doom won the election. At election time we had about 60-70 nations in the region. During Sith Clans delegacy the population increased to 94 but I sort of lost a little bit of interest in teh game and stopped recruiting as hard. Our population fell by ten in about a week. SCoD (sith clans of doom) had been delegate for three weeks and it was election time but he hadn't been on for eight days because he said is Grandfather had died. So we delayed elections another week and then it happened... (more later)
So what happened? Well on that Friday I opened access for the delegate to regional controls... Not thinking twice about it. Saturday went by fine as a daisy... but on Sunday when I logged on in the morning to Neasmyrna I was in the Rejected Realms!!! As you can imagine I was quite confused... I logged on to Petalumadom and he was still in the region... weird... I looked at the regional population and we only had sixty nations left!!! I looked for the people who I knew were active and loyal... they were all gone... Amdusias, Kotic, Sky Kings, D4-Heads, Heisdorf and many more. I was pissed... I figured out why he hadn't kicked out Petalumadom and it was because when you are delegate it takes influence (that minnow, diplomat, etc. thing in red on your nations page) so he was unable to kick out Petalumadom. I was distressed because I had always thought you couldn't kick a founder out of his own region. I asked some other nations and they all said they thought that too so I was mad at that too... I called on the assistance of many nations to help put Petalumadom as delegate (he was only four endorsements away from being delegate already).. .and I waited... I had to leave but when I got back a couple hours later everything was still the same... I was trying to think of some way to get the people back when I noticed I, as Neasmyrna, could still get into regional controls!!! Problem solved: I unbanned myself from the region and kicked out scod with perhaps the happiest click of my life. I unbanned everyone and sent messages to everyone that they could come back... That was that chapter...
more later
Coming up next: The Build Up.
As you can imagine, I was very excited and actually liked all the action. I got excited about nationstates again and started recruiting like crazy. Petalumadom had been made emergency delegate and I liked being delegate for a couple of days before I realized it was a lot of work... I announced I wished to resign and a new election was started,,, The canidates were arminvan and Amdusias... Amdusias won eight votes to two... and he was our next delegate. When our population reached about 110 Wazzaville, a nation that had been in the region silently for some time, announced he would be willing to start us a forum and a regional defense force. We had had two forums before but they had many flaws and few people ever went on them. When Wazzaville completed teh forum and allowed me on for a look i was amazed... They were better than I had imagined and the defense force section was very cool.
That's what we have there here is the history past that:
Well about a month after Wazzaville finished the forum he announced he was leaving nationstates... I was very bummed but continued pushing on a bit until people just weren't coming on the forum any more... We still had more than 130 nations in the region but most were very inactive... While I had been improving the forum with Wazzaville I started going through other regions forums... that's when I came upon 10KI... well whne activity was brought to a low I moved Petalumadom out of 00000 A World Power and joined the forum (I had been logged in as a guest previously) and within 24 hours I had 100 posts... Well you know what happened while I was here...
But back at A World Power things continued much as they had before only my recruiting went down a good bit we slowly lost people through the month of July until we were at 125ish down from a high of 139... But I still recruited a good bit and while I was the leading recruiter in the JII here i managed to keep pop up there... Then in mid August things started picking up for our region... But with the school year coming on I knew I couldn't continue being active in both regions... so I proposed that we either merge with 10KI or I would come back to the region... I really wanted to merge but after a while just me making that suggestion made people come on and get active again... So it turned out Petalumadom was moved back there and i started to recruit, and we had to make a new forum and now things are just peachy... Our RDF is starting to be more active and we have participated in more than a dozen misions... Due to the recruiting efforts of a nation Rucket and my own we have gained over 40 nations in less than a month and we now have 175 nations and our delegate has 55 endorsements... alls well...
Hopefully we will have an official newsletter soon so we can keep you all continually updated...
