[font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][size=120]Starting out in NationStates and the Rejected Realms can be confusing at first. The good news is that it's easy to start off with, and there are several ways to apply yourself. Firstly, let's start off with the easiest one:  joining the regional [url=https://discord.gg/RBPXFKMGBM][color=4066E0][b]Discord Server.[/b][/color][/url] Discord is basically Skype or any other messaging service, and it's where a lot of our regional activity takes place! In the discord you can meet and talk with all members of the government, as well as the Rejected Regional Army (our regional army, duh!), and members of the Rejected Times, our regional newsletter. In addition to the government members, most active citizens are also inside the discord and you can talk to them as well. Next, you should sign up to our forums - this is where a lot of governmental and executive activity happens. You can sign up [url=https://rejectedrealms.com/index.php][color=4066E0][b]here.[/b][/color][/url][/font][/size]

[font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][size=120]A second way to influence the region is by becoming a citizen by applying on the forums [url=https://rejectedrealms.com/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=8552150][color=4066E0][b]here.[/b][/color][/url] Make sure your nation in the region is still active. Once your application is accepted, you can vote on and propose your own legalistion in the assembly, as well as gaining the right to vote and run in our elections.[/font][/size]

[align=left][font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][b][size=145]Joining the Executive[/b][/size][/font][/align]

[font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][size=120]Usually, most regional careers start with an application to a certain governmental department or organisation. Here you will find details on what each government run department or organisation does and how to apply to join each. Usually, your application will be processed within 24 hours. Most people are accepted.[/font][/size]

[align=left][font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][b][size=135]Outreach[/b][/size][/font][/align]

[font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][size=120]If you enjoy running events, writing or speaking to people, then outreach is for you. Outreach does multiple things, like run RMB awards, try to increase endorsements on the delegate by running endorsement dispatches and events, write guides and mentor new people, all to serve the goal of getting people involved![/font][/size]

[font=Segoe UI, Frutiger, Open Sans][size=120]Culture is all about running festivals and events for camaraderie and friendship.
