1. What is this place?
This region is just one among thousands within NationStates. Think of regions as akin to continents in the real world. They serve as containers for nations, and each nation can only belong to one region at a time, though they're free to move as frequently as they wish. More specifically, we are Anteria. We are a semi-serious, modern tech roleplay region that has been in existence since 2015! Anteria has its own RP, regional government, and a mess of guides to help you on our roleplay adventure! Anteria is closed-world.To learn more, keep reading!

2. What is there to do?
Roleplay, mostly. We mainly dive into roleplay adventures, spotlighting nations and characters to come together into a rich narrative within our unique world set on the planet Anteria. Just to clarify, Anteria operates as a closed-world, meaning real-life nations aren't part of our story and don't exist in our canon.

But hey, if roleplay isn't your cup of tea, no worries! We're also a chill and easygoing community, getting into all sorts of games and hobbies to keep things fun and relaxed.

3. How do I get started?
We are a region that is open to everyone, with the one exception that you follow these simple steps to join in.

1. If possible, join the World Assembly and endorse the WA Delegate to help defend Anteria and keep it a safe, open region

2. Join our discord! We would love to hear from you!

3. Say something on the RMB! Most of our Roleplay is done on the RMB and there is no restrictions on participating in role play!

4. What are the rules?

Some rules to keep in mind when creating your iiWiki page or participating in regional-wide RP:
No unrealistic scenarios

1. Anteria is a Modern Tech region so please keep things within the time frame of 2015-2025

2. If you are participating with other members ask before you include them in your RP or iiwiki.

3. No claiming world dominance

4. No god modding

5. Do not make your nation a colossal size, keep it within reasonable size

5. Can I be the delegate?
Absolutely! Just start reaching out to folks for endorsements. The delegate is the nation with the most endorsements each day, so hit the ground and gather as many as possible! Even if you don't snag the delegate spot, you'll still amass a ton of regional influence.

Still wondering what this game has to offer? You are in luck! NS is a vast, complicated world, and you can play for years before you even break the surface. Here are a few resources to help you find something that interests you.

FAQ: The official game FAQ can be found here, and a more comprehensive version is maintained on the Technical subforum here.

Roleplay: On NS, roleplay (commonly known as RP) is text-based, and consists of players writing collaborative stories that bring their nations (or people within their nations) to life. It usually takes place on the NS forums, player-created offsite forums, or region RMBs.

Gameplay: The term "gameplay" (commonly known as GP) encompasses a number of things. It includes the "issues game," where players answer issues to build their nations in a certain way and compete on World Census reports; the "invasion game" (commonly known as raiding and defense, or R/D); and regional politics.

Real-world debate: This is mostly self-explanatory, and takes place in the General subforum (commonly known as NSG), or on regions' offsite forums and RMBs.

World Assembly: The World Assembly (commonly known as the WA) is a mixture of RP and GP. It is the world's only international legislative body, similar to the real-world United Nations. Many players like to spend time writing their own WA resolutions or discussing proposals written by others. This takes place in the General Assembly and Security Council subforums. If this sounds interesting to you, it is highly recommended that you begin there, by asking questions and reading other players' work.
