If you are representing another region and your administration desires to establish an in-game embassy with Craig's Communist Union, the region in question must observe the following requirements:
Must have at least 50 nations or 15 WA nations.
WA nations must constitute at least 20% of the region's population.
Must have a relatively active Regional Message Board/Discord server/Forum.
Must not have the following regional tags: 'Fascist', 'Puppet Storage' or 'Anti-World Assembly'.
Must not hold embassies with recognized fascist regions.
Must be willing to send an ambassador to the regional Discord server.
Must not collect embassies without distinguishment or discrimination (embassy collecting).
Despite the theme of our region, holding socialist or communist values is not a requirement for embassies; our region is accepting of all non-extremist ideologies. Exemptions to the policy above may be made if agreed by the Foreign Affairs Commissar and President of Craig's Communist Union. If your region follows all of the requirements above, you should go about establishing embassies with the following procedure:
Telegram the Commissar of Foreign Affairs (currently New kvadrastka) about your region's desire to establish embassies.
Your telegram should include the following: The size, as well as the growth or decline rates of your region's population; the responsible officials and nominated diplomats responsible to Craig's Communist Union; how establishing embassies would be mutually beneficial for our regions and finally a brief explanation of your region's system of governance and recent happenings. The more creative, informative and opinionated your telegram is, the higher your chance of acceptance shall be.
Wait for a response, as opposed to repeatedly telegramming. The official you have contacted will reply to you at the first possible opportunity, we assure you that if you make a serious request, you will not be ignored.
If regional officials are content with the establishment of embassies, you may send an official request, or let Craig's Communist Union send a request for you. Attempting to request in-game embassies before proper procedure has been fulfilled will warrant automatic denial.
In the event that Craig's Communist Union wishes to close your regional embassy, a relevant Government official will contact you in advance with the reason for closure. Potential reasons for closure may include falling out of line with the region's embassy policy, disorderly conduct by your region's members or actions deemed distasteful by Craig's Communist Union officials.
Craig's Communist Union Endorsement Programme was officially introduced on January 9, 2019, as a campaign to increase the power and influence of both the region and the nations within [region]Craig's Communist Union[/region]. The base theory of the Endorsement Programme is that all nations concerned about their own influence, and the region's influence and safety should actively seek to endorse as many other WA nations in the region as they can. You can start on our Endorsement Programme right now by following the steps below!
Seek out any WA nation in the region that you can find, such as New kvadrastka, endorse them, and from there, begin to endorse the nations who are also endorsing them.
At the bottom of other WA member's pages (who are also in the region), you will be able to find an option to endorse.Try telegramming those you endorse to do the same to you! This is an effective way to gain endorsements for yourself, and pretty badges next to your nation.
Once you're done, you reap the benefits! Endorsing other nations makes them much more likely to endorse you back, raising your endorsement and influence scores and badges (some of switch are shown above). Not only this, but some of our most prolific endorsers are awarded the Craig's Communist Union Endorsement Programme Prize - which, despite its fancy title, is much easier to get than you'd assume. All you have to do to receive the award is continue endorsing nations!
Following the Endorsement, Program is absolutely the best way to become the region's World Assembly Delegate - and nobody will stop you! InCraig's Communist Union, there is no endorsement limit, and no prevention for members taking over the Delegacy through hard-earned endorsements, so if this is your goal, start up the engines!
If you are not yet a member of the World Assembly, please join now! It's a very simple process which will take you only a couple of moments. If you have any issues or questions about joining the World Assembly, telegram Derpy land.
The following rules must be adhered to by all users of Craig's Communist Union RMB, failure to do so will result in post suppression, or more serious action if deemed appropriate. The general theme of these rules is 'have common sense', something that should go without saying.
Post meaningful content. If you're posting on the RMB your message should contain some degree of substance and meaning, as opposed to incomprehensible gibberish or messages so vague they might as well be incomprehensible gibberish.
Do not post more than two messages in a row. To keep a wide diversity in posts, and so it doesn't look like just one person is creating all of the activity on the RMB, we do not permit users to post three or more messages in a row. You are able to edit your original message(s) if there is something you missed.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. We fully realize that not everybody agrees all the time, however starting flame wars on the RMB will not be tolerated. You're allowed to disagree but disagree respectfully.
Do not do anything to attract moderator attention. When the NationStates moderators have to come and sort out an issue on our region's message board, it not only reflects badly on you, it reflects badly on the region as a whole. To avoid attracting moderator attention, the simple guideline as outlined in the
One Stop Rules Shop is "Don't Be A Dick".Do not bait. Baiting is when you make a comment with the intention of angering another user or starting an argument, essentially trolling. Not only is this uncivilized and childish, but it's also against NationStates rules. Just please, be nice.
Do not post anything that may be found offensive, threatening or concerning to other members. Any content of this sort is not acceptable, it shouldn't be hard to stop yourself from screaming about how the Jews were responsible for 9/11, telling somebody that if they don't vote for you, they'll find you outside their window at 5 am or advertising your drug cartel's new shipment. Anything you think may be borderline, you shouldn't post.
Make an effort for grammar. We're not going to suppress your post for something trivial, like a comma where a semi-colon should be, but the standard of grammar you use should be reasonable, otherwise, it reflects badly on the region.
Do not recruit for other regions or external organizations. Absolutely none of this. If you want to recruit, you should do it the proper way like the rest of us. Violating this rule may result in banning from the region and being reported to the Moderators, as this is against NationStates rules.
Do not quote a suppressed message. If a message on the board has been suppressed, it's been done for one of the reasons above. Unless it's completely necessary to your point and you're going to edit out the text which caused the suppression, you'll see your own post suppressed too.
To summarise these rules: Don't spam or make meaningless statements, don't post more than two messages in a row, don't recruit, don't quote violating messages and most importantly, be respectful.
Please note that the regional Discord chat has different rules and separate moderation standards, however, all guidelines can be clearly found within.
