We are the first line of defense against foreign threats that endanger the sovereignty and stability of the Coalition and to project and protect its foreign affairs interests abroad on the inter-regional arena via participation in the Raiding/Defending (R/D) game of NationStates.[/size][/font] [hr] [font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=170][color=#1089e6][b]What is Raiding/Defending?[/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120][i]Raiding/Defending[/i], or [i]R/D[/i], or [i]military gameplay[/i] is one of the most important aspects of NationStates gameplay. It involves using the game's mechanic to allow a group of people to invade and take over a region or prevent that from happening. [/size][/font] [spoiler=So, how does it work in simple?][font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]Each region have a delegate along with regional officers, those are the nations that hold significant power in the region, they can change the flag, the world factbook entry, suppress message posts, eject and ban nations, establish embassies,... A nation will be automatically appointed as delegate of a region when it has the most endorsements in the region. In R/D, a bunch of nations from outside rush into a region, somehow collect enough endorsements to coup and take over the current delegate of the region. After gaining the delegacy, it is all the matter of fun as now you have the ultimate power.[/size][/font][/spoiler] [spoiler=In what way it is fun and interesting?][font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]The R/D game requires you to act and think like a real world soldier or officer. It is fast-paced and Adrenaline-packed, contains a great deal of militarily thinking and actions. R/D is what truly different from other activities of the game such as issue answering or role-playing, which are slow-paced and require you to enjoy and be really good at reading and writing. Also, R/D is one of the easiest paths to gain recognition in the game. R/D is highly organized, like-minded players can cooperate and create military organizations that usually have proper ranking structure like real-life military and can engage in all sort of operations. By being a good soldier and helping a military operation successes, you can climb up the ranks, be promoted to higher positions, where you would start to plan and lead operations on your own, and if you successfully do so, you can gain recognition and respects from everyone in the game. If you are looking for something that doesn't revolve around just reading and writing, and you really like military-related stuffs, R/D is the thing for you.[/size][/font][/spoiler] [hr] [font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=170][color=#1089e6][b]Where is the SPSF in the world of R/D?[/b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Open Sans, Frutiger, Frutiger Linotype, Segoe UI, Helvetica Neue, Arial][size=120]The SPSF very actively engages in R/D. It does all kinds of operations such as invading, liberating, and defending,... and it is the most active of all game-created region's militaries (We don't hyperbole, there are numbers to prove that).

You need to be able to be online at 12PM or 12AM EST in order to join this division.

Members of this division are those that will help strengthen our stronghold in missions that require occupation such as raids or liberations. Also, the Reserve force can do simple operations that don't require the Updater force such as raids on regions that don't possess a strong-enough defensive capability. No in-depth training is required and a dispatch with instructions is enough to know how to carry out your duty.
