Region: Thalassia
So, the actual NationStates website doesn’t have real wars, trade, etc. In order to have a war or trade with other nations, you just have to roleplay here on the RMB. The only roleplay thing that the website itself supports is your nation’s stats, which are based on your answers to issues.
Here’s a dispatch explaining how RP in our region works:

How To Get Started
To Get Started in Thalassia, you're going to need some essential things for the roleplay. This will help your roleplay experience, and while may take a little bit of time to set up, depending on how much free time you have, it will enrich your roleplay experience and make roleplay easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
The Map
The Map is the primary part of Thalassia's roleplay, it places everyone in a set geographical location to progress and create interaction between neighbours, friends and allies. Alongside this, it adds a sense of realism, making sure that everyone knows how far away they are from each other and how long it will take to travel places. This can be crucial in times of war, as the map also gives nations geographic features to work with, mountains and rivers, alongside the Ocean in its entirety, allowing key choke points for trade.
The Map is mandatory to partake in wars and Roleplay Events, every member of the regional roleplay must claim some land on the map to partake in these. As the regions gets larger, there is a possibility we will expand the map.
The Map is located here. To claim a section of land for yourself, telegram Toerana iii or Sho with your desired claim. You can do this by telegraming us using this format:
Nation Name:
Desired Capital City Name:
Desired Nation Slot:
Desired Capital Position [Optional]:
Nation Name: Toerana III
Desired Capital City Name: Derai City
Desired Nation Slot: 5
Desired Capital Position [Optional]: N/A
Dispatches & Stats
Dispatches are required to partake in roleplay. The dispatches only have to be short and sweet, but they have to have some required stats in them.
Theses stats are your Military, Population and GDP. You may retrieve these stats by telegramining Czech germania or Toerana iii requesting these stats.
The proper format to collect these stats is as follows:
Hey,
Can I have my roleplay stats for Thalassia?
Thanks
[Name]
You are permitted to update these stats once per week by telegraming either of us to retrieve an update. Only stats inside dispatches are valid, roleplay mods and Culture staff keep a record of all stats. The Dispatch for the stats may be as extravagant as you wish, but must include the 3 stats given to you by the staff. It can be as basic as just those 3 listed. For all other roleplay affairs, it is recommended you specify your skills and stats inside dispatches, although it isn't mandatory. For aspects and areas of RP that aren't given to you, we use NS stats as a guideline, allowing people to differ from there stats a bit but not drastically.
Warning - Military includes the Army, Navy and Airforce, the figure given is the number of soldiers at your disposal, not just ground soldiers.
We recommend Ponderosa's dispatch guides located 
here for good quality dispatches.
Post Differentiation
For all Roleplay posts, it is required you use the [RP] heading to display it as different from regular posts. Failure to do so will mean your roleplay posts are declared as not valid and you may be punished by roleplay mods.
Alongside this, becoming angry and using all caps lock is not acceptable, and you must remember that any posts made with the [RP] tag are not personal attacks or attempts at flame baits on another user, what happens in roleplay has nothing to do with non RP posts and the regional government.
Rewards Program
The Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Information have worked together to bring the Thalassian Rewards Program. You can read more about it below!

It may seem that we’re not very active roleplayers sometimes, but don’t let that stop you from roleplaying. A lot of people just don’t know how to make a good RP post, so it’s easier for them to respond to others.
