Heya! If you’re here from a notice, that means you recently moved into the region. Welcome to The Black Hawks! As you’ve probably heard, we are a region of super cool and powerful raiders that influence the game via the invasion of other regions. If that sounds fun to you, I’d recommend starting your journey with us by joining our regional discord (https://discord.gg/XWvERyc) and forum (https://www.forum.the-black-hawks.org/). These steps are mandatory for new folks that are looking to join active service.

If you’d like to learn more about the region otherwise, check out this dispatch:

_{I'm New Here, What do I do?🌏Frequently Asked Questions🌏Active Duty🌏Reserve Duty}

Hello, and welcome to The Black Hawks!

If you're reading this, we're guessing you're a bit lost on what to do. First of all, relax! Raiding is about you having fun, and you can't do that if you're all stressed and worried. Trust us - we've spent more time doing this "raiding" thing than any other region on NS. What follows is our simple, short, and easy-to read guide to the very very basics of what we do here in The Black Hawks.

---

"Hey, I just got a message from your region, and followed it. What do I do here?"

First of all, welcome to The Black Hawks! Please, say "hi" on our Regional Message Board, and let us know if you need any more help after reading this guide! You can also feel free to send a telegram to me, Get Real, at any time. The Black Hawks is a region focused on the art of raiding - one of the main forms of military gameplay here on NationStates. If you want to learn a little more about our history, feel free to read this dispatch. or ask a question on the RMB. We also recommend you join our discord in order to better interact with our community in real-time. Most importantly though - join the Reserves Program and follow their orders as soon as possible!

---

"So what is this 'raiding'?"

Here in NS, we've got a "World Assembly", which nations can join, giving them the power to elect regional delegates (among other things). In many regions, these delegates have certain powers over the region, allowing them to do such things as changing the region's appearance and kicking its members out. In short, raiding (also known as invading) is when a bunch of us get together and use this system of delegate elections to elect one of our members as the delegate of another region and then have some fun there. Since a player can only have one nation in the World Assembly, it takes the combined efforts of many of us to seize and hold regions. If we're not careful, the defenders will take them back from us and return them to their original owners!

---

"Cool, how can I join in?"/"What's this Reserves Program?"

Well, if you just want to be involved on the basic level, there will always be deployment orders posted in the World Factbook Entry at the top of the region page. These are the orders for our Reserves, though you don’t have to be accepted yet to follow them. To follow these orders, you should create a second nation (known as a "puppet" nation), join the World Assembly on that nation (and that nation only!), move it to the region linked, and endorse everyone the order says to endorse. To endorse, you click on a nation in the same region as you that is also in the World Assembly, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the button that says "endorse <nation>." It's important that you do this on a puppet nation so that your main nation can remain here in The Black Hawks, allowing you to keep chatting here, as well as receive future orders! It is essential that this action occurs as soon as possible, or our operations will fall to our enemies! You may have also seen the Reserves Program dispatch linked above. This dispatch provides more information on how to formally join the reserves, gain points for your assistance, and be promoted to our elite Primary Reserves program!

---

"There's got to be more right?"/"Hey what are these forums and how do I get training?"

Yep! By the time the deployment process begins, our more advanced soldiers in Active Duty have already preliminary seized the region. These more advanced members of the region also perform various stealth and hit-and-run type assaults. The cool thing is, it's not hard to start down the path of joining those ranks! The biggest steps you need to take is registering on our forums and joining our Discord chat server, where we'll connect you with a trainer after you've introduced yourself. Stick with it, and you'll be on the front lines in just days! And if you find it's just not your thing, you can always go back to hanging out in the region and following the deployment orders like everyone else.

Greetings Hawks!

Welcome to the reserves program! If you are new to Nationstates, you have found yourself the perfect way to meaningfully contribute to our operations while getting the hang of this whole Nationstates thing. And if you've been around for a while, this may just be the best way to kick back, relax and enjoy all the benefits TBH has to offer while you rest your weary head!


Sounds interesting, tell me more!

The Reserve Program is designed to reward members of our region who consistently respond to piling orders. Members score Reserve Points depending on how many operations they attend. These points alongside regional activity are used to determine your Reservist Rank!

New ranks?

Yes indeed! Reservists will be granted the ranks of Reservist and Primary Reservist. Primary Reservist is a rank obtainable to those who are active in either the discord and/or rmb communities and pile quickly often, supplying much-needed support to our operations. Primary Reservists will also be given the privilege of access to our nest on discord, where they will be able to further interact with the community they are a part of! Reservists who pile fast and often will be justly rewarded! You also will get to fly exclusive flags designed for the reserve program!

New Flags?

You betcha! All reservists will get to fly special Reserve flags that show their status as a member of our decorated Reserves program! Primary Reservists also get their own special flag that only they can fly, as an honor to their dedication! You can see the flags by clicking the spoiler below!

Reservist Flags

The Primary Reservist Flag

New Banners?

That's right! We have created new banners so reservists can flex their ranks! Additionally, we have added a star system to the Primary Reserves. Primary Reservists can now earn additional stars and banners depending on how many missions they have gone on! Those banners can be found below!

Rank Bars

So who can take part?

Anyone with a nation in The Black Hawks and is currently not an active updating member is eligible for the Reserves. This includes members who are in training or receive the rank of Private! Additionally, formerly active members are more than welcome to join the reserves but will have the collection of Reserve Points frozen if they ever reactivate.

How will this be tracked and collected?

On every operation where we send out regionwide piling orders, we will link a form with which to fill in your piling nation name and nation in The Black Hawks. You won't be able to miss it!

You've sold me! So how do I get started?

Great! To get started, simply fill in this -->form.<-- Your nation name will be tracked in a separate Reserve Program Dispatch with your rank and a cool emblem to link in forum signatures, dispatches or factbooks!


If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to get in touch with Octobla!

Who else uses three nations on here?

I have come across Region against The Black Hawks
Here is something to use against them

Project Thunderbolt: Orbital Strike Platform

Overview:
Project Thunderbolt is a strategic initiative by the Armed Republic of Giathio aimed at establishing an Orbital Strike Platform (OSP) for precision strikes against the enemies of The Black Hawks. This clandestine project leverages advanced space-based weaponry to deliver devastating kinetic strikes on high-value targets with unparalleled speed and accuracy.

1. Orbital Strike Capabilities:
At the heart of Project Thunderbolt lies the development of an Orbital Strike Platform equipped with precision-guided munitions and directed energy weapons. These weapons systems are capable of delivering pinpoint strikes on enemy installations, military assets, and infrastructure from orbit.

2. Target Acquisition and Tracking:
Project Thunderbolt integrates advanced satellite surveillance and targeting systems to identify and track high-priority targets in real-time. By leveraging a network of space-based sensors and intelligence assets, the OSP can acquire targets with exceptional accuracy and responsiveness.

3. Orbital Deployment Strategy:
The OSP is strategically deployed in geostationary and polar orbits to provide optimal coverage and response capabilities. By maintaining a constant presence in orbit, the platform can rapidly engage targets across a wide area of operations with minimal detection and warning.

4. Covert Operations:
Project Thunderbolt operates under the utmost secrecy to conceal its existence and capabilities from adversaries. By maintaining a covert operational posture, the OSP can effectively strike at the enemies of The Black Hawks without attribution or diplomatic repercussions.

5. Collaborative Warfare:
Project Thunderbolt aligns closely with the strategic objectives of The Black Hawks, serving as a force multiplier in joint operations against common adversaries. By coordinating with allied forces and sharing intelligence, we can maximize the effectiveness of our strikes and achieve decisive victories on the battlefield.

6. Future Expansion:
As Project Thunderbolt evolves, it holds the potential to expand its capabilities and scope of operations to meet the evolving threats facing The Black Hawks and its allies. By investing in advanced technologies and operational concepts, we can maintain our strategic advantage and secure victory in future conflicts.

In conclusion, Project Thunderbolt represents Giathio's unwavering commitment to defending the interests of The Black Hawks and confronting its enemies with decisive force. Through precision strikes from orbit, we stand ready to protect our allies, uphold our principles, and ensure the security and prosperity of our region.

The Allied States of The Separatists is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Separatistsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The Separatistsian economy, worth 321 billion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 53,506 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody brings rolls of coins to the laundromat anymore, all tariffs have been abolished, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. The Separatists's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Separatists is ranked 189,940th in the world and 264th in The Black Hawks for Most Income Equality, scoring 21.45 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.

The Dictatorship of Smelly Mistreated Donkey Citizens is very happy to be a part of the Black Hawks. I, the Dictator, don't really care what my people think, I just like oppressing them and destroying my opposition, and I hope you can help my nation become more powerful while still being a horrible place. Thank you for accepting us. The Dictatorship of Smelly Mistreated Donkey Citizens pledges it's allegiance to the Black Hawks.
