| 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.

Application for citizenship
What is the name of your nation in the region? The New Arstotzka
What other names or aliases have you been or are you currently known by in other NationStates regions or organizations? I am also a citizen of The New Inquisition, using The Empire of 0rlais. I am known simply as Orlais there, but it seems like nobody actually uses their nation names 
What other NationStates regions or organizations are you involved with? The New Inquisition
Do you have a World Assembly nation? If so, please name it: The Empire of 0rlais
How did you find Europeia? You guys sent me some recruitment telegrams 
What sorts of activities are you looking to get involved with on the forum (Government, World Assembly, Games, etc.)? Just to be an active member of the community. Regional government might not be for me, but if you guys have any roleplays or areas for citizens to hang out and be silly, I'll probably hang around those 
Are you interested in chatting with other region-members on Skype? If so, please list your Skype username: Mmm, not yet. I'm still getting to know the ropes of NS so it might take me a while to trust you all that much 
Please also take the following oath, inserting your name where it says [[YOUR NAME]]:
I, Reynaud Valmont 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 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.
Want to get involved with our government? (You don't need to fill-in anything below.)
- The Civil Service Organization (CSO) helps new members get started in the Executive Branch of our regional government. Click here to join the CSO.
- The Citizens' Assembly (CA) is part of the Legislative Branch of our regional government. It is open to all citizens and is the best place to learn how to write both Europeian and World Assembly legislation. If you're interested in joining the CA, click here to request your membership.
- The Europeian Bar Association is the body of legal advocates and advisers in Europeia, and its members may be approached directly by any member of the public for legal advice or representation. If you're interested in joining the Bar Association, apply here.
- The Europeian Republican Navy (ERN) is our region's military organization. While we'd love to have you join right now, for security reasons, you'll need to wait for one of our forum administrators to process your citizenship application first. After that happens, you can click here to enlist.

I apologize that while creating my account, I mistakenly said that 0rlais was the nation I had in Europeia, when it was actually The New Arstotzka. If you notice a discrepancy there, that is why.

Hey, Reynaud! Welcome to Europeia!
Our citizen processor dude, Lethen, will come by and give you Non-Voting Member status soon, and then you'll get full Citizenship after our elections close.
As soon as you get Non-Voting status, you can check out the Citizen's Assembly and participate in our ongoing discussions. You don't have to be a Citizen to participate! When you do become a Citizen, you can apply for full membership so that you can also vote. To do that, just post on the Membership Administration thread that you'd like to join, and we'll set you up with a fancy new name color and tag.
When you get Non-Voting status, you can also join the Republican Navy active duty division, or the Volunteer Squadron. You can also check out the various Ministries at the Civil Service Officium. Currently, we have the Ministry of Regional Recruitment, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Communications, and Ministry of Citizen Integration. They all do lots of cool and exciting work! The threads over at the CSO will tell you more about what each ministry does.
You should also introduce yourself at the Newcomer's Hall so that we can get to know you!
Again, welcome to the region! It's awesome to have you.
Warm regards, - Rand Deputy Chairman of the Citizen's Assembly

We can also create a new pronoun that we define as singular and gender neutral. Thing is we slip slightly into orwellian newspeak territory there.
