How do you use this forum?
Go to the help section on the top of the forum screen, there should be a blue book with something that looks like a question mark, under that is the word help, if you cannot find it click here:
What is the 01 Eastern Roman Empire all about?

What are Issues?
Issues are events that your nations government has to decide what to do about or ignore, but be careful as they affect your Economy, Civil Rights and Political Freedoms of your nation.
i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/hipeter924/Issues.jpg
Each issue shows different views of people in your nation, usually they represent people that want to affect your nation/s in a negative or positive way. This involves damaging or making the economy better e.g. banning pollution, lowering taxes for business, etc. Issues will also try to give the people better civil or political rights or restrict their civil or political rights e.g. give your people a 100% tax rate or allow men to enter female beauty contests, get rid of Political freedoms by causing a dictatorship or boost political freedoms and develop a democracy, etc.
Can I control how many issues I get each day?
Your nation should have a settings panel to change this; good advice would be to read the FAQ information for Nationstates
Jolt forums
You should also notice the Jolt Forum section on the left of your Nationstates Nation screen: Click on the forum link and you will get a message on the screen telling you to check your email address you gave Nationstates when you joined. The message from Nationstates should be sent to that email address, the email will tell you what to do. To join the Jolt forums register your nation and go to the Gameplay and Technical sections where the Moderators have posted rule sections you should read in the Jolt forums before posting.
Regional Influence
One thing you will notice first in Nationstates is your regional influence, your level of influence is determined by your nation size, how long it has been in the region and it’s amount of Endorsements (Votes to support your nation or other nations). An important reminder is that if you leave the region for a short time (e.g. a day) your regional influence will decrease a place when you move back to the region. The longer you spend always from the region, the more regional influence you will loose.
Here are the Regional Influence Rankings in the game from Highest influence to lowest:
Hermit (This is the highest level of Regional Influence in the game)
Hegemony
Dominator
Superpower
Power
Powerbroker
Eminence Grise
Enforcer
Dealmaker
Instigator
Contender
Negotiator
Auxiliary
Ambassador
Diplomat
Envoy
Duckspeaker
Handshaker
Truckler
Vassal
Minnow (You should start about here when you join the region)

Telegrams
i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/hip...4/Telegrams.jpgYou should also notice the Telegram section on the left of your Nationstates Nation screen; below you can see what you can do with Telegrams: You can send messages to any nation in the game, but be careful not to put offensive material in them because the site Moderators could give you a warning or possibly even delete your nation depending on how offensive it is.
If you want to offend someone, it is best to do it in the region name forum instead. Also when recruiting with telegrams remember that you can only send 1 telegram to each nation but the Moderators do not enforce this as yet and I have gone against this rule by accident several times and not had problems, if a player complains to the moderators prepare to be punished. I stopped sending more than one when I found out about this rule.
What is the regional notice board and what can be done on it?
i133.photobucket.com/albums/q42/hip...Noticeboard.jpg You can leave a message for other nations in the region to see or converse with other nations, but do not do too much of this e.g. Spamming the message board with 100s of messages each day. Of course if it is such an important event announcement for the region like an invasion of us (our founder has region control so we will not lose our region) then everyone would be allowed to Spam the message of it within reason.
United Nations You should also notice the United Nations section on the left of your Nationstates Nation screen; below you can see what you can do in the United Nations: You can vote for Resolutions, but only Regional Delegates can vote for proposed Resolutions becoming Resolutions, you should read the UN Rules or the one stop shop.
You can propose new laws or try to repeal laws once you have 2 Endorsements from other nations, you should look at the UN Proposal or Repeals Rules and Information.
But beware, if you get 2 telegram warnings from the Moderation Team it is a good idea to not propose or repeal any laws because once you get 3 telegram warnings you nation is banned from the United Nations for good.
How in-active can you be?
Once you have been in-active for 27 days your nation is deleted, however if you change your nation to vacation mode on your nation settings the amount you can be inactive becomes 60 days.
What is the dossier?
It makes it easier as you can link to nations quickly and do not have to search for them.

What is recruiting and how do I do it?
Once you know the above and a bit about region name through discussion through 01 Eastern Roman Empire members, you may learn of Recruiting. To recruit on the regional notice board of feeder regions you move your nation (this you know by now because you had to do it to arrive in the region name and started in a feeder region when you joined the Nationstates Game). Then once you are in their region quickly post a message (on the 01 Eastern Roman Empire forum there should be a topic on recruiting go there to learn more and find the recruiting message/s, search and you shall find young skywalker.
Also to recruit other nations for region name and not waste that precious regional influence you would lose in moving, make a new puppet nation and use it for recruiting. You can telegram other nations that are in feeder regions, with an invitation to join region name only one telegram per nation, if you do not do follow this or the other rules mentioned above you break the game rules (moderators of the Nationstates game can be harsh).
If you have any further questions refer to the One Stop Shop Rules, UN Rules or the FAQ Rules
