The Department of Wrath
Devilishly profitable!

Drones are warriors who are unable to engage the Sinners on the frontlines and yet are still willing and eager to fight the blight, choose to guard the regions of NationStates from the Sinners. They move in while the battle is at a respite, protecting regions from the dangerous spread of the Sinners, while working with native populations to remove all evidence of their influences on afflicted regions.

There is no need to sign up, a quick path to promotion, and little time investment needed!

You don't need to sign up or register anywhere, either on NationStates, on Discord, or the forum. Just start participating by following this guide, and you will be credited in reports and, very soon, get your first promotion! This guide will remain pinned in our region to serve as a handbook whenever you need it.

We call your nation in Underworld or Hell your "main nation". For these missions, you will need another nation, your so-called "puppet nation". You can call this nation whatever you want. To get your puppet nation setup, follow these steps:

1) If your main nation is admitted to the World Assembly, resign now.
2) Login to your puppet nation, or create it if you have not done so already.
3) Go to the Settings page.
4) Associate a valid e-mail with your nation (make sure this is the same e-mail address as on your main nation).
5) In your Motto, make a reference to the name of your main nation in some fashion (so that we know it's you!)
6) Set the Department of Wrath Flag on that nation
7) Apply to join the World Assembly.
8) Check your e-mail, and confirm your admittance into the World Assembly.

Between missions, keep your puppet nation in Underworld, endorsing our delegate The Iron Helm.

Drone
This is the entry level rank of a Drone. There's nothing needed to do to get this rank - just start participating!

Drone-Lieutenant
Once you have completed 5 Drone missions, you will automatically be promoted to Drone-Lieutenant! With this rank, trained Drone-Masters, DoW Executives, and the VP of Wrath will work with you so that you can learn to find and lead missions on your own.

Drone-Master
Trusted and merited Drone-Lieutenants get promoted to Drone-Master. A Drone-Master can autonomously call upon their fellow Drones for missions to detag, support, and defend regions.

When you log onto your main nation, there are two places where you can see the current mission:
- On our World Factbook Entry in Icecrown Citadel,
- On our military base's Regional Message Board.

These orders are typically self-explanatory. When you see these orders, log into your puppet nation and follow these orders with that nation.

A typical simple example may look like this:

These are the things you may be asked to do in orders:

• If asked to move to a region, you move your puppet nation to that region by opening the region page, scrolling to after the World Factbook Entry, and then clicking "Move (Nation) to (Region)". Note: Do not post on that region's Regional Message Board unless invited by native nations to do so.

• If asked to endorse a nation, open that nation's page, scroll to the bottom, and click the button "Endorse (Nation)". Note that you can only do this if your puppet nation is in the same region as that nation.

• If asked to cross-endorse on a nation, you not only endorse that nation but also every other nation endorsing that nation. To see the endorsees of a nation, scroll to the bottom of the page to "Endorsements received:", which is followed by a list of endorsing nations.

• If asked to cross-endorse in the region, when you enter a region, you will want to find your fellow Drone nations and cross-endorse on them. To find these nations, you can either scroll through all nations in the region and look for nations with the Drone flag, or look at the activity page for that region for nations moving to that region with the Drone flag.
  

In some cases, your puppet nation may later become the World Assembly Delegate of another region. This puts you in a great position of power over that region - treat that power with respect, and do not do anything not told to do! The Delegate has additional powers over the region, though sometimes these may be locked away. After becoming the WA Delegate, on the region page, click "Admin" (above the World Factbook Entry). On the Admin page, find the table under the heading "Officers" and click "Modify" next to the WA Delegate in that table. In the following page, make sure all checkboxes (Appearance, Border Control, Communications, Embassies, Polls) are checked, and click "Enact Changes" to save that selection.

• If asked to detag the region, it's your duty to clean up the mess that raiders left. You can refer to this guide for steps to do so.

• If asked to banject nations, open that nation's page, scroll to the bottom, and click "Eject & Ban". Note that sometimes your nation won't have enough influence to do so - in that case, just wait another 12 hours and try again.
  

If you're the WA Delegate of a region, you may get additional instructions. Usually, they'll be sent to your puppet nation via a TG, so make sure to check in regularly!
