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?

Dear Delegates,

I would like to thank you all once again for attending this Conference and for our productive discussions. On this important issue, we have reached a consensus in a relatively short period of time, yet our finished product is, I believe, an instrument that will serve us well in protecting the growth of user-created regions in to the long term.

It has genuinely been a pleasure to work with you all, and I want to emphasise how much I appreciate how focussed and productive the discussions have been, especially from such a diverse group of regions.

The only remaining action to be taken now is to take the final Declaration back to our home regions. There, it needs to be signed and ratified according to your own procedures - for us in Europeia, that'll mean signature by the President and ratification by the Senate.

Once that has been done, I ask that Signatories then please register by one of these methods:

1) Telegram my nation in NS; or,
2) Post in this thread.

As you will see, I have already put up a copy of the Declaration on the Europeian forums, and I will shortly also put up a copy on the NS forums, along with an invitation to sign it.

Thank you once again for all your work and for coming to this Conference! I'm very pleased with what we have achieved, together, for user-created regions in this game.
