so how we as new nations can help fighting against raiders?

I'm double-posting but I'm still technically acting delegate while Louis is in the US, so I can technically get away with it. :P

10000 Islands is home to TITO, a defence force that helps regions in need of defending from raiders. You can find more information on our forums. :)

only been playing a few days - very much enjoying this (and the community seems rad so far!)

my nation has 8 million people. Any way to make it grow faster?

Nope. Patience is a virtue.

Hello everyone, hoping to be a useful addition to the region

Well, moving to Black Hawks was not a particularly useful thing to do.

They probably were recruited by that crazy tg they send to everyone moving into major defender regions. It basically says how great and harmless raiding is and how boribg defending is. Obviously, it's a load of BS.

I'm still unclear. New to this, but what is "raiding"?

I'll explain. The delegate of every region is determined by who in the WA has the most endorsements at the time of an update, twice a day. What raiders do is send out a team of nations to invade a region just before that update and endorse a single person who will become the delegate. You see, after the raiders seize the delegacy, they can do whatever they please. Whatever they please includes but is not limited to: suppressing the RMB, deleting the Fact Book, changing the flag, appointing new officers, closing the region off with a password and banning natives. All of this can cause irreparable damage to a region, meaning even regions that are liberated can't always be restored completely to the communities they once were.

That's where defenders such as TITO come in. We do something similar but for good. We find occupied regions and, before the update, endorse a single person who could be one of our own or a native to become delegate. They can then take back their region. Another important mechanic is influence. Delegates don't have unlimited power. They amass influence over time that is "spent" whenever they kick someone or use their power. Endorsements speed up the regeneration of influence. If you take a look at my influence stat chart, you see that it shoots up, that's when I started getting endorsements before leveling out when I left for TITO. Influence also resets whenever you leave a region. That's why a raid or defense mission could take a good bit of time. You don't always have enough influence to fix everything.

I hope this explains it well enough though there's still other stuff that even I'm still figuring out. Joining TITO is a great way for you to learn even more about defending. If you've got any other questions, telegram me or maybe Klopstock, our field commander.

Finally got a "good" economy with a socialist state yay!

Are we currently at war with Black Hawks? I've seen nations moving there from here, which means they're either spies for them or TITO members.

That isn't entirely true. The Black Hawks have been posting around messages disparaging defenders. They are raiders, so that makes sense for them. But they are blatant lies. Some people believe it though... there isn't much they could find out by just joining the region anyways.

Who loves to party

Hello, I'm new. What should I check out?

Where is the map?

I became a communist! I was a Capitalist Paradise and after answering an issue it turned me to a communist! It's weird because my civil rights, economy, and political freedom are all great. Any tips on how to get back?

I'm not sure as I'm a new nation but I kind of had something similar happen. I handled an issue and all of a sudden have a parliamentary style government. Oh well
