We are a freeform region. For the most part, you can do whatever you want. All Roleplays are entered voluntarily and many of them have nothing to do with war. We do have a regional map on our forums. You can apply for a spot on said map any time you want.

You are in good company here. We are a friendly democratic region that encourages role play and nurtures creativity as you develop your nation. Be sure to join our discord for active conversation, asking questions, and memes and stuff.

I have changed the "Welcome" TG, as you can see through the 'Regional Happenings' list, and will post a copy of the new version in our forum in case anybody needs it later on. (EDIT: Done. It's in the 'Office of the Delegate' section, for now.)
I have started (and stickied) those 'Ecosystem' discussion threads, and would welcome feedback there...
EDIT
I have also started a forum thread about 'The Free Land of The IDU', because as it is nobody’s “own” nation it tends to be neglected, and hope that people will post ideas in there (https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=20949#p20949) as well.
(Also, deleted some pieces of adspam that U.N.E. had reported & banned the spammer.)

I have a question, from what I see, all RP takes on the forums, right?
So glad you asked! For the most part, the posting of RP material takes place on the IDU Is Regional Forum, however there is substantial international coordination, discussion, and (for extroverts like me) thinking out loud that takes place on our Discord server. For intricate RPs, such as The IDU Olympics, N-Day, and Hunt for Auroras, separate invitation-only Discord servers are established. Perhaps half of the work that goes into an RP is first hammered out or collaboratively conceived in Discord. (Note: this is posted on behalf of Gardavasque, my main nation. Braveco is merely a puppet who I happened to be signed in as today).

Alright thanks for the info!
There is a new map-related poll up! Please help select the names of the northwest and southwest continents. These names were nominated from the spreadsheet linked by the SOAP thread on the IDU Regional Forum. Just to clarify... Voting is open to "residents" meaning one nation, one vote. Players with multiple puppets in the region may therefore vote multiple times.
As a point of reference:
Neris means "of the Sea"
Eurus is the personification of the East Wind in mythology
Liberalis means "freedom, honorable, or generous"
Prasinus means "Green like the color of a leek"
Favonius is the personification of the West Wind from mythology
Notus is the personification of the South Wind from mythology

(OOC: Your nation’s name looks to me as though it should belong to a group of Tolkien-style Elves… Was that your intention?)

The United Provinces of Gladysynthia, after many several weeks of inactivity, has returned. Thank you for your warm re-welcomes to IDU. I'm glad to be back.

Good to have you back, old friend! Yes, "many several weeks" definitely has changed the landscape of NationStates, hasn't it?

Until we meet again, comrade...
I, too, have an announcement to make. I should have done this months ago, frankly. Here is the truth of the matter, my life has gotten really hectic lately. More hectic than I think it has ever been. Going foreword, I am simply not going to be able to put as much time into NationStates as I have been. My schedule simply doesn’t allow. There aren’t enough hours in the day.
What does this mean for you all? Well, not too much. I will certainly still be available if an emergency comes up. I am not resigning from my position as IDUSA speaker and will still be checking the forums as frequently as I can (which should be daily, just not for anywhere near as long as I usually do).
Unfortunately, the main thing that will be effected by this change will be my RPing. I do not expect to be able to put out long RP posts or regularly check in with every RP I am in. I’ll work out the specific level of my involvement on a case by case basis.
Hopefully this is just temporary and I should be able to return to my normal level of activity eventually (June, tentatively).
Lastly, I can totally understand if Lauchenoiria wants to select another Co-culture minister. I’m not resigning from the position but would totally understand if she wanted to replace me with someone more active.
Thanks for your understanding,
Libertas Omnium Maximus
Co-Culture Minister

My approval of the previous two posts is not approval of the fact that these two players will be spending less time here, it is approval for the fact that they let us know...

Can we get some salmon?
As the voting for the names of the remaining two continents close, I would like to thank everyone who participated! Thanks for completing the major naming for our regional map! And thank you to Associate Cartographer Gardavasque for creating the poll. Massive success!
Suggested by Laeral: we will be changing the ending letters of the winning continents (Liberalis and Neris) to the letter '-a', to allow for a better fitting convention for these areas, similar sounding endings to Catica and Hespia. These continents will be named Liberalia and Neria.
Once again, thanks for voting, everyone! We're looking forward to further developing the map! Send your applications for map placement to the forum or to me through telegram!

Now that this poll is concluded, who has a question or idea for poll you'd like to see posed to the IDU community? It doesn't have to be map-related, or roleplay-specific (though that's ok too). Send me a TG or message me on Discord.

Hello all! I'm a puppet of Byzconia.
That's a good question. Unfortunately, I've been preoccupied with an excess of work lately to the point that I've had trouble participating actively in the IDU's conversations, but could someone quickly explain (or point me to a link) why we're (by "we", I mean "the region, through our WA delegate) supporting the commendation of a historically prolific raider?
