» The Goal of The Lair: Money, Fame, and Friends «

Lair of the Dragon has a few things we focus on as a region, and as the title above says, it can be summed up as Money, Fame, and Friends.

> Money - There are several stats that we emphasize in-game, namely the Economy, Average Income, and Economic Output stats, alongside the cards minigame stat of International Artwork. We also have a little economy thing Linkin our Discord where gold coins are given to folks who complete various quests or do things for the region.

> Fame - Raiding and Diplomacy are what gets us fame. Raiding is part of the NationStates military gameplay, and there is a lot of information there that can't be covered in a beginner's guide, but the short of it is taking over regions using the World Assembly Delegacy to either post our tag, or to take the region for ourselves. Diplomacy is generally any interaction with another region in NationStates, whether it be to improve or worsen relations. There are some regions that we will almost always be antagonistic towards, but class and good taste are key to being a good villain.

> Friends - The last, and arguably most important, part of what Lair of the Dragon is about is Friends! Through the avenues of Roleplay in the Regional Message Board, hosting Cultural Events, sharing cool Dragon Media, or getting new people into the region and discord, we gain the most valuable treasure of all; Friendship!


» How to Achieve the Goals «

> How to achieve these goals - In order to achieve these goals, I've made some things to encourage doing things. The Paths are rewards for players doing things. The Hoarding Path is reward titles for people doing things to get money, and the Claw and Wing Paths are reward titles and powers for doing things to get Fame and Friends. The Clans are a way to generate competition, where I can poke all the people in the clans and give them a goal to reach.

There is no 'winning' or 'end state'. This website is literally older than MySpace and Facebook. However, you can absolutely set goals for yourself, and strive to achieve them. Examples include:
  • Have a lot of high stats in an area.

  • Collect NS Cards.

  • Roleplay.

  • Build a region/community.

  • Legislate in the World Assembly.

  • Lead an NS Military in raiding, defending, or both.

  • Write interesting issues.

  • Others that exist but I'm not coherent enough to write out.

For all those brand new to NationStates, there is a wonderful a guide written that will get you all the information you need to fly far into the realm of NationStates.

» The Goal of The Lair: Money, Fame, and Friends «

Lair of the Dragon has a few things we focus on as a region, and as the title above says, it can be summed up as Money, Fame, and Friends.

> Money - There are several stats that we emphasize in-game, namely the Economy, Average Income, and Economic Output stats, alongside the cards minigame stat of International Artwork. We also have a little economy thing Linkin our Discord where gold coins are given to folks who complete various quests or do things for the region.

> Fame - Raiding and Diplomacy are what gets us fame. Raiding is part of the NationStates military gameplay, and there is a lot of information there that can't be covered in a beginner's guide, but the short of it is taking over regions using the World Assembly Delegacy to either post our tag, or to take the region for ourselves. Diplomacy is generally any interaction with another region in NationStates, whether it be to improve or worsen relations. There are some regions that we will almost always be antagonistic towards, but class and good taste are key to being a good villain.

> Friends - The last, and arguably most important, part of what Lair of the Dragon is about is Friends! Through the avenues of Roleplay in the Regional Message Board, hosting Cultural Events, sharing cool Dragon Media, or getting new people into the region and discord, we gain the most valuable treasure of all; Friendship!


» How to Achieve the Goals «

> How to achieve these goals - In order to achieve these goals, I've made some things to encourage doing things. The Paths are rewards for players doing things. The Hoarding Path is reward titles for people doing things to get money, and the Claw and Wing Paths are reward titles and powers for doing things to get Fame and Friends. The Clans are a way to generate competition, where I can poke all the people in the clans and give them a goal to reach.

There is no 'winning' or 'end state'. This website is literally older than MySpace and Facebook. However, you can absolutely set goals for yourself, and strive to achieve them. Examples include:
  • Have a lot of high stats in an area.

  • Collect NS Cards.

  • Roleplay.

  • Build a region/community.

  • Legislate in the World Assembly.

  • Lead an NS Military in raiding, defending, or both.

  • Write interesting issues.

  • Others that exist but I'm not coherent enough to write out.

For all those brand new to NationStates, there is a wonderful a guide written that will get you all the information you need to fly far into the realm of NationStates.

Too Long, Didn't Read

My friend, if you've come straight here to get a summary, here it is:
NationStates involves a lot of reading. Like, a lot. If that ain't your speed, this forum-based web game ain't gonna be for you.

Statement on The North Pacific's Delegate bump-

ChatGPT: "The recent action taken by The North Pacific in removing Lair of the Dragon from the World Assembly Delegate position in the web game NationStates is perceived by some as an affront to our sovereignty. However, upon closer scrutiny, it becomes evident that The North Pacific lacks legitimate authority over Lair of the Dragon, and that Lair of the Dragon's stance is justifiable within the context of the game's dynamics.

Sovereignty, in the context of NationStates, hinges on the recognition and respect of the community's established norms and principles. Yet, The North Pacific's claim to authority over Lair of the Dragon is tenuous at best. The very essence of sovereignty implies that nations within the game possess the right to self-governance and autonomy, free from external interference. By asserting control over Lair of the Dragon without the latter's consent or acknowledgment, The North Pacific violates this fundamental principle, thereby undermining its own legitimacy.

Furthermore, the decision to remove Lair of the Dragon's nominal delegate from power appears to be arbitrary and lacking in democratic legitimacy. In a community-driven game like NationStates, the authority of delegates derives from the consent and support of their constituents. Lair of the Dragon's actions are presumably in line with the wishes of its region, making The North Pacific's intervention an unwarranted intrusion into the internal affairs of another sovereign entity.

Moreover, sovereignty in NationStates is not a static concept but one that evolves through interaction and negotiation among players. Regions like Lair of the Dragon are entitled to define and assert their own sovereignty within the game's framework, independent of external dictates. The North Pacific's attempt to impose its authority over Lair of the Dragon disregards this fundamental aspect of gameplay, perpetuating a narrative of dominance rather than cooperation and mutual respect.

In conclusion, The North Pacific's actions in removing Lair of the Dragon nominal delegate from power lack legitimacy and represent a violation of the principles of sovereignty within NationStates. Lair of the Dragon's assertion of its autonomy and right to self-governance is not only justified but essential to preserving the integrity of the game's community. As players navigate the complex dynamics of virtual geopolitics, it is imperative to uphold the principles of democracy, consent, and mutual respect, rather than resorting to unilateral assertions of authority."
