Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

For the record, if anyone leaves anonymous, vulgar, nasty comments about me on these sorts of things, anyone involved should totally keep them in, because I'd rather know that people feel that nastily to me than preserve some sort of arbirtrary standard of higher discourse. Everyone else should be allowed to make the same call if they want.

I feel the same way, but we're both older than the median age around here, as well as more thick-skinned than the norm, and of course neither of us has any first-hand perspective on being a woman in NationStates. It's going to be bad for the region if we define what's acceptable discourse by what you and I can tolerate.

But I think we may have a more fundamental disagreement -- in my view, cases where anonymous sniping adds value are the exception, not the rule. The Internet is replete with examples of this.
I think it should be explicitly opt-in. As in, we each choose can let pollsters (via a post in OIM, perhaps?) know we're fine with whatever negative comments, no matter how toxic, are said about Us in particular, being made public.

I. Am. Not. A. Nice. Person.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.
Unfocused populism is just as dangerous, if not more so, to a Republic's survival as creeping authoritarianism.
Tell people how you feel, honestly and frankly. If you like someone, tell them. If you don't like them, tell them - the world would be a better place if we all knew where we stood.
