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?

Heres what Id do (new names are obviously just suggestions):

  • Join "Office of Citizenship" and "Office of Diplomats and Foreign Relations" as "Office of Membership Application"
  • Join "Office of Naval Recruitment" and "Civil Service Officium" as "Office of the Employment Service"
  • Make "21 Tomlinson Street" a subforum of "34 Goldenblock Avenue"
  • Make "Europeian Naval Headquaters" a subforum of "Octagon"
  • Join "The Republic Square" and "Debate Hall"
  • Make the "Europeian Broadcasting Corporation" a subforum of the "LethoMonarchy Media Center"
  • Join "Spam Zone" and "Roleplay Central" as "Gaming Station"


Im sure theres a couple of more things that could be combined and still make sense and be just as easy or maybe even easier to locate but I cant think of them right now.
I don't believe putting the EBC under the Letho Center would be wise. The Letho Center is geared toward Independent media. You would be mixing the two and making the EBC seem less important.
I remember when it was founded arguing that the EBC was not more important :P

Still having the debate five years later. :ph43r: :ph43r:

Important wasn't the right word. I sounded like a prick. I mean the EBC becomes hidden in the several sub forums of independent media.

FTR, I highly disagree with the movement of ERN HQ under FA. It's highly illogical and makes little sense considering the fact they are two separate departments. I feel a move worth considering is moving the Diplomat Office under the Office of Citizenship, possibly re-naming it to represent such a change. Also, moving the Roleplay Hub also under the Cultural Hub makes sense if we really need to condense.
Why would we move ERN HQ to FA?? Did the survey say that? If so that was my bad.

My thinking was that we've move ERN HQ to its logical location, under the Octagon.
I was responding to Kaboom's suggestion above.
Sorry - by "ERN HQ" I thought you meant the Octagon! :P

I think discussing whether we need both the Octagon and the ERN HQ on the front page is a good discussion. Large chunks of thee Octagon just aren't used. E.g., the mess hall hasn't been posted in since January 2015, and that isn't the least used one.

This is the main page forums we should remember. There are a lot of useless subforums floating around too. I'll post my list of suggestions/proposals later.

I like the idea of citizens having quick and prominent access to victory reports and sailors having quick access to the ERN HQ. That doesn't mean having the ERN HQ as a subforum inside the Octagon wouldn't allow quick access, but there are numerous forums I'd amalgamate before the Octation/ERN HQ.

But that's one of the easiest to knock off the proverbial "To-Do" list since there's realistically no purpose in having them separate. You just said yourself that combining them would not prevent quick access.

Why are we worried about hidden subforums though? I mean if this is because newcomers complain about the size of the forums then hidden ones don't really matter. I still don't see much point in this. Even if you reduce the size of the main page it isn't going to change the fact that Euro is huge and complex, which is what newcomers are scared off by. That is something that we can't change.

Well, I'd prefer to make it as easy as possible for sailors to check in for orders and whatnot. There is some purpose to having them separate rather than say, Naval Recruitment and the CSO.

We can at least make it less complex, though.

Considering that the diplomatic offices are of little interest to those who are not diplomats or assigned to various regions, moving the diplomatic offices to FA makes sense to me.

I would combine Office of Citizenship and Diplomats/Foreign Relations into the "Europeian Registration Office" (or similar name), or put them as sub-forums under a single forum.

Combine The Republic Square and the Debate Hall into one, leaving The Republic Square.

Combine the Cultural Hub, Spam Zone, and Roleplay Center into just the Cultural Hub (with sub-forums as needed) Argument can be made for the Well-Being Hub as well but I feel its focus is distinct enough that it doesn't quite fit into the more games or artistic endeavors the rest of the Cultural Hub would hold, but I would not be opposed it to be a sub-section either.

Those changes would result in a major reduction on the Main page and in my opinion, consolidate focus on similar themed topics/threads.


As a side note - I always felt the "Oval Room" was strangely named for its purpose, since we also have the "Oval Office"; it may be some thing worth visiting.

You miss the point Trinn. The Oval Room is the Oval Office. You literally have the hundred or so citizens of the archipelago walk through and vote in the very room that they will choose the occupant of. The SCs used to keep this particular fact a secret (this is why a tunnel was dug from the supposed voting room to the Goldenblock) which is why the "mysterious" epithet remains. It's a sort of open-secret now anyways.

Didn't you see the resemblance, Trinn? :ph43r:

I can attest to this. Maybe it's a bit RP-heavy, but did you ever read my story "Lethen Portugal"? There's actually a follow-up on the forums somewhere - I forget where, honestly - about the early days of creating the Republic (Bod doesn't make a cameo, sadly) and we have a whole thing in there detailing what Hy said above. I wrote it, so if you want to go look I would check the date range of my posts around when I wrote and posted Lethen Portugal.
