| 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.

Nation Name in the region: Temple Alpha Do you have a World Assembly nation? If so, please name it: Yes, but it's a military-puppet in TNI's service, so I regrettably cannot name it. How did you find Europeia? I've been here before. What is your interest in the forum? (Games, Government etc.) LOVE Are you involved in other regions? If so, please name them: The New Inquisition
I swear that I will bear true allegiance to the Republic of Europeia, that I will faithfully observe and read the laws of Europeia, and that I will fulfill my duties as a Europeian citizen, including having maintaining a nation in the Europeian region.
I understand that any violation of the vows in this oath may result in the termination of my Europeian citizenship.

Welcome to Europeia, where everything's made up, and the Lethens don't matter.
Seriously though, a familiar face

Hey Dom!
I'd waive you, but I can't during elections...so, waived. But it'll go into effect after the elections (February 6th).

Hello and congratulations! You are now officially a Citizen of Europeia!
At this point, you are probably asking yourself, "What do I do next?"
There are multiple avenues to explore, and you certainly don't have to limit yourself to just one:
In the Civil Service you can gain experience in government by becoming a Junior Minister.
As a Junior Minister, you will get the chance to work closely with Ministers and even run your own projects!
If drafting legislation is more to your liking, apply to join the City Council Learn to draft your own bills and debate legislation.
Have a taste for judicial affairs? The High Court of the Republic awaits you! In the High Court you can follow court cases, comment in the Strangers Gallery and even join the Judicial Training Center. One day, you too could be a member of the Judiciary!
Finally, if politics isn’t really your game, or you just want to do your share for the glory of the Republic, the Europeian Republic Navy may be for you. Become an officer in a professional, skilled, renown Military force and you will get the chance to travel across the world, meet new friends and rise up the ranks.
Want to learn more? Check out the Handbooks available.
Have questions but don’t know who to ask? Ask in the Ministry of Citizen Integration by making a new topic.
I've also upgraded your masking to citizen!
