| Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways? Europeia is a region of NationStates that follows the principles of republicanism, meaning the officials of Europeia are elected by the people, of the people, and usually for the people.
Can I join? Of course. Of course. All you have to do is register an account. Validate said account (it should send an email to the email address you have provided, if it did not pester us about it here). Your account in the beginning will automatically be placed in the non-citizen usergroup. You can change that by applying for citizenship. The application, for security purposes, usually takes a few days to be processed by our forum administrators. But once that is done you can see it all and do it all as a full citizen of Europeia  .
So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go? First you have to register an account. Then you have to validate said account (it should send an email to the email address you have provided, if it did not pester us about it here). Your account in the beginning will automatically be placed in the Non-Citizen Usergroup. Then you can apply for diplomatic masking.
What offices are there for people to be elected into? Well, first of all there are three Branches of Government. There is the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. The Executive is responsible for the day-to-day governance, the Legislative writes and manages the laws of Europeia, and the Judiciary has the Power to review laws to see if they comply with our Constitution as well as hear trials against accused citizens. The Executive is made up of the President, the Vice President and their Cabinet. The President and the Vice President are elected together every 70 days. They then nominate other citizens to fill the Cabinet Posts. Those nominated are then confirmed by the Senate. For more on the Executive click here. The Legislative is made up of the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly. The Senate is made up of a minimum of five citizens who are elected into office every 70 days, exactly 35 after the presidential elections. The Senate writes or repeals laws, confirms Ministers and Judges and can remove any elected official. The Citizens' Assembly writes pre-Legislation, which is then passed on to the Senate for approval. Members of the Assembly are not elected. Instead every citizen is automatically a Member. For more on the Legislature click here. The Judiciary is made up of the High Court, which answers legal questions and hears criminal and civil cases, looking to the laws of the Republic, both statutory and common, to render judgment. It is made up of the Chief Justice and three Associate Justices. The Justices serve for a 120-day term. Instead of being elected, they are nominated by the President and then confirmed by the Senate. For more on the Judiciary click here.
What is there for me to do in Europeia? If the game of high politics is not your cup of tea you can always just hang around doing fun things. Or if you want to put some work in, there is always the Civil Service, the Navy, and the Citizens' Assembly. As citizen, you can join the Civil Service (or CSO). The CSO assigns its Members (called Assistant Ministers or AMs) to the different Ministries to help out the Ministers. As AM you can do many things and garner great accolades. Most of the great politicians of Europeia started in the CSO. Once you become a citizen, you can also sign up to become a Sailor in our Navy, going out on raids, defending Europeia, or helping our allies defend themselves. Or, if reading and creating Law is more your speed, you can always join the Citizens' Assembly. If all of that did not sound like enough fun we have Spam Games, reasoned and less reasoned debate, Newspapers, Roleplays, and so much more.
That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more? You could always check the Newcomer's Handbook to see if the answer to your question is there. It may even be in the FAQ (or Frequently Asked Questions). If neither answer your question, you can ask our admins here.

Alright, so we at TSP have been having a little... well... crisis on our hands. Basically we have had bogus claims that our recent elections were not democratic. Here is the statement from Topid, our Delegate.
This is not an official update, Foreign Minister HEM doesn't know about it yet, but because I am the delegate along with an ambassador I'm taking the liberty to post a statement in the regions which I am the ambassador to.
Currently, on our RMB, there are many puppets run by an unknown player or players. They're showing screen-shots that they claim they obtained from a hidden part of our forum between me and the members of our region that show that SB handed the delegate position to me behind the scenes, and the election was a sham.
Here are some of the ways we've found to show them as fakes:
This was one of the screenshots used in his TG campaign: http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6467/evidence5.png Those time stamps don't actually make sense. This one is clearly fabricated like all the others.
Another one: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6826/evidence6r.png SB's post count reads 620 change, as the person fabricating the images forgot to go back and fix this.
This Bels made using the screen-shots the other side was using and one he took of our actual forum: http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo202/B...ng?t=1308646631 See how the fonts don't match anything we can use on our forums?
Another one he used in his campaign: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/347/evidence1j.png I have a long history with Sedge, I wouldn't refer to him as Sedgistan. This is repeated through other images... Shows I didn't really write this post.
This one: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/347/evidence1j.png Shows me and SB talking about Sedge's coup on May 27, when Biyah and Dali didn't reveal Dev was Sedge until June 1/2 (depending on timezone). We didn't know it was Sedge when we were allegedly having this conversation.
Finally, and this is more for humour than real evidence: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/347/evidence1j.png I would never spell honour incorrectly like that. Honor? Psh.
Anyway, these allegations are totally false. There was no pre-arrangement for me to get the delegate position. On my honour I swear that the succession competition that took place on-sight and according to TSP's laws was totally honest, and that neither I nor anyone in the region knew how it would end.
As soon as I got the hint that there were telegrams going out Minister of Security Bels and I put together a TG and I contacted every WA in the region (at 5am where I live ) with some of the above evidence that the finger pointers were full of crap. And maybe that campaign is the reason the other side's campaign has rallied one TSPer behind me for every person they've gotten to withdraw their endorsement. And as such I'm only down about 2 endorsements since the last update.
Your friend,
Topid Delegate of The South Pacific

Now that's pretty underhanded of the people/person.

If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things — praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts — not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds. - C. S. Lewis
