Getting Involved in Salutations
| WELCOME | GETTING INVOLVED | WORLD ASSEMBLY |
Bored of just answering issues? If want to get involved in Salutations, there's always something to do here.
Each endorsement also increases the voice of Salutations in the World Assembly, as the Delegate gets an extra vote for each endorsement he has. This means that Salutations is more able to have its interests represented and its prestige as a region boosted. They also build camaraderie and a connection between all members in the Salutations community to build friendship and a stronger society.
Salutations has a free endorsement policy. That means that your Delegate is chosen freely by the people. As former delegate of the region Europe, the nation of Alsted replied to the question 'Don't they force the nations to endorse the current WA Delegate and limit their endorsements?', the answer is 'In 10000 Islands and The North Pacific? Yes. Here? No'.
You are free to endorse or not endorse whoever you please. Whilst we encourage you to do more endorsements so you build influence, expand the power of the region, and increase the number of endorsements all around (thereby assisting our security), we do not force you to do any such thing.
Salutations has an off-site community. From the start of Salutations, this off-site community has consisted of some of our most ancient members, stretching further back than the failed coup attempts.
This discord community runs a roleplay based off technology from the WWII period. So, if you want to talk about 1941, this is the place to be. Also, this forum with its strong roleplay situation, is always a place for fun. The forum community always welcomes new players.
The forum is also a place where the government deliberates on certain decisions made by the government. If you want to join the government, that is the next heading, but it is also a place where members and aspiring members of government should make an account to join in discussions on the future of Salutations.
If you want to make a difference in Salutations and do good for and by the region, you can join the government of Salutations. The government is composed of the Founder and Vice-Founder, the WA Delegate and five Secretaries, three for the Home Office and two for the Foreign Office. These Offices, not including the Delegate's WA prerogative, have entirely different matters (though only a few overlap).
The Home Office deals with affairs of internal security and player retention. If you have any skills in investigation or retaining players in Salutations and persuading them to return to the region, this is the place to be. The Home Office also deals with the moderation of the RMB and responses to threats once they have entered Salutations. In summary, the Home Office generally deals with all things relating to the internal affairs of the region. This makes it the most important office.
The Foreign Office, by contrast, deals with affairs outside the region. These mostly deal with recruitment of new players, maintaining positive relations with foreign embassies and ambassadors (especially those wso communicate on the Salutations discord), and most importantly, maintaining our status as a neutral region. Should the Foreign Secretary open spots for Ambassadorships or representatives, this is a starting point for a career in our diplomatic corps.
The WA Delegate has personal control over his or her domain in the World Assembly. Affairs in the World Assembly are dealt with by analysing the proposals which come up for vote and recommending to the population their votes. These are entirely recommendations with no mandate. The Delegate is always looking for more people to advise and discuss WA proposals in the General Assembly as well as utilise the votes of Salutations best.
The Founder and Vice-Founder are charged with maintaining order during times in which Salutations is threatened by an immediate threat and ensuring that all people have a say in the democracy that is our region. Feel free to send them a telegram, their inbox is always open!
All of these positions are not set in stone, as many of their powers overlap. This is nothing more than a blueprint of the specialities and focuses of these different positions which specialise in a function integral to the operation of Salutations. You can join this government by being available to assist any of our Secretaries, our Founder, or our Delegate.
If you're still bored, there's always more to do on the NS Forums! There, you can roleplay with members of other regions throughout the world in the Diplomacy forums, build a better NationStates in the WA and Techincal forums, or just play around in Forum 7! NationStates is a land of infinite possibilities from primitive RPs to far-future spaceships and lasers, there is always something to do from here in the glorious land of Salutations!
And if you still have nothing to do, you can write Dispatches and Factbooks for your nation or for our region! The government has endless need for people to help write for Salutations and so does the elements of roleplay! You can start by:
