Welcome to Selene!

This dispatch contains a user-friendly introduction to our regional roleplay, aimed at players who are not fully familiar with Selene or who prefer to take things slow, by providing a simple step-by-step walkthrough with the information that all roleplayers need to begin their journey.

Click the ⛫ icons within this dispatch to see more detailed information about the regional roleplay.

1. Know the World

Events happen in Vesta, one of ten planets in the Selenid System and the only known to have intelligent life, during the late 21st century. The world is engaged in a cold war between two large alliances and countries are establishing permanent bases in other planets, setting the stage for the manned exploration of the cosmos.

2. Know the Rules

There are six rules to consider before one joins the roleplay. These are simple rules meant to help everyone have a good time.

A

Treat others with respect. Posting content that is offensive or violates the privacy of others may lead to warnings and, if necessary, expulsion.

B

Secure permission from others before posting about their countries. You may not attack or otherwise affect other countries without first coordinating with them.

C

Countries cannot be all-powerful or immune to problems. Countries must also have prior diplomatic and trade relations with the world; that is, they cannot claim that they just came out of isolation.

D

You can use real world languages and religions, but you must give them different names or take the ones already in use.

E

Time passes three times as fast in roleplay as it does in the real world.

F

You will be removed from the map if you fail to have a nation in the region and roleplay at least once per month, but this does not prevent you from rejoining at a later date.

IMPORTANT - ON COUNTRY INFORMATION

We do not use NationStates figures, such as population and gross domestic product, in roleplay. When in doubt, please message our Roleplay Councillor or join our LinkDiscord Server to ask for help in designing your country.
