I initially thought what a shame it is that the monarchy etc. Then it occurred to me that our President is a symbol of national identity also. In trump's case, not one of unity, but your point stands nevertheless.

Hi Salzburg Austria, welcome to XKI! Check out this Welcome Dispatch here if you'd like to learn more about our region and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
Welcome to 10000 Islands! If you're new to the game, you're probably wondering what all of the site features are and how they work. You'll find that NationStates is a seemingly simple browser game with a rich community and a depth of features and game play developed by players over the course of almost 18 years. 10000 Islands is one of the oldest regions in the game, dating back to 2002, with a continuously operational defender military and active regional government. Opening Steps The first thing you'll want to do, if you haven't already, is to answer your issues. In NationStates, you function as the all-powerful leader of your nation and Issues are how you effect your government's policy and national statistics. Issues are the only way to effect these and you'll have to wait for more issues once you've answered them all. To learn more about issues, you can check out the 10000 Islands issue and stats lounge or this Issue answering FAQ. While you wait to receive more issues, you should join the World Assembly (WA). Joining the WA requires that you input your email address on the settings page (know that your email will not be visible to other users and NationStates does not send you spam emails!). Joining the World Assembly is important because it grants you a say in developing international law through the General Assembly and preserving international peace through the Security Council. More importantly, joining the WA grants you citizenship in 10000 Islands, which allows you to participate in elections and run for office. Once you've joined the World Assembly, be sure to endorse the World Assembly Delegate Astrobolt. Endorsing the Delegate gives the region more power in the World Assembly because the Delegate's vote is weighted so they receive an extra vote for each WA endorsement they have. You can also decide how the WA Delegate votes once you're registered on the forum by participating in WA voting polls. After you've done that, you can get involved in our regional community by signing up for the regional forum. The forum is the main headquarters for our regional government, economy, cultural events, our defender military, and role-playing. When you sign up for the forum, it's important to follow the instructions in the first post of this thread so that an Account Masker can go through and confirm your account to give you access to appropriate areas of the forum. The last thing to do is join our regional Discord server. Discord is a live chat platform that we use to hang out and get to know our region-mates a little better. Stop by to meet some new friends! Once you've done these four things (answer Issues, join the WA, sign up on the forum, and introduce yourself on Discord), you're all set! From there, take your own path and discover what about 10000 Islands interests you. The rest of this Dispatch is an index of guides and resources for you to look at. Guides and Set Up

are multilinguals allowed?
Silvedania, Solsevara, Membatak, The Galactic American Imperium, and 1 otherTausend Seen
Hi!
We do have a decent amount of bilingual and multilingual folks - I'm bilingual, and a few other people I met speak German and Spanish. However, speaking other languages just doesn't really happen on the RMB, largely due to the fact that it'd be hard to moderate. On the other hand, I've seen some German conversations go on in the discord server, but those never last very long, because like I said, it would be hard to moderate and just dominates the chat.

Membatak
The Federative Republic of Membatak, commonly referred to as Membatak, is a democratic nation with a liquid democracy system situated in the Gulf of Guinea. It comprises the Membatak Archipelago, boasting 347 islands of varying sizes, making it the world's largest archipelago. The federation consists of eight states, each endowed with autonomy over internal affairs but subject to national laws, the supreme court, and the First Speaker.
Membatak stands out as one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse nations in the world, a consequence of substantial immigration following World War III and the collapse of Brazil's military dictatorship.
The name "Membatak" originates from the British explorer John Membatak, who, in 1627, first reported the existence of the archipelago.
It is distinct from the Indonesian term "rob," which, if used derogatorily, is considered a slur against Membatakian citizens.
Citizens are commonly referred to as "Membatakians," with the less common term being "Membataki."
Initial Discovery
The Membatak Archipelago was first mentioned through the observations of British explorer John Membatak in 1627. Having spotted a cluster of islands from a distance, Membatak reported his findings to the British government, characterizing the archipelago as resourceless and challenging for settlement due to its harsh flora.
The First Communities
In 2022, the Great Exodus of the Nordestinos, triggered by the oppressive regime in Brazil, led to the migration of 10 million individuals seeking refuge. Sailing east, they discovered the Membatak Archipelago, providing a safe haven for the displaced refugees.
Over several months, settlements began to form along the coastlines of the islands. Focused on developing means of communication with the outside world, these communities faced challenges due to the loss of communication during the mass exodus. However, concerns about attracting the attention of the Brazilian dictatorship halted further attempts.
The fall of the Brazilian dictatorship in 2088 revealed confidential plans for a military raid on the archipelago. Peacekeeping forces were dispatched by the United Nations to aid the stranded refugees.
Due to the refugees' insistence in staying within the archipelago, the U.N provided supplies and supported the modernization of the archipelago's villages.
Formation of the Federation
By the 2100s, modern cities emerged, and interdependence among the islands grew. Cristina Helena, leader of Membatak's largest island, Saro, initiated a movement for unification, gaining widespread support across the scattered nations in the archipelago.
After three decades of negotiations, the Federative Republic of Membatak was officially founded on October 10th, 2132.
Participation in World War III
Initially maintaining neutrality during World War III, Membatak was drawn into the conflict when N.A.C forces invaded its northernmost island to control neightbouring trade routes.
Approximately 100,000 soldiers, primarily sailors, lost their lives in the war. Notably, Membatak's participation, especially in the 2147 Landing on Sierra Leone, played a crucial role in ending the conflict.
This war marked Membatak's only international military engagement.
The Membatak Archipelago (Portuguese: Arquipélago Membatak) consists of eleven major islands, several islands, numerous atolls and inumerous smaller islets in the Atlantic Ocean.
Membatakians occupy the archipelago almost in its entirety (including the mostly uninhabited Eastern part), with the sole exception of the Ashe Islands, which is a protected area due to its unique fauna and flora.
How the islands were formed is still a matter of scientific debate.
The climate is for the most part tropical but it experiences many different climates, depending on altitude, weather and time of the year.
As of the 2200 census, the Federative Republic of Membatak is home to an estimated population of approximately 500 million inhabitants. Periodic censuses are conducted every ten years to accurately capture demographic shifts and trends, with the inaugural census taking place in 2140.
According to the Membataki Institute of Geography and Statistics (MIGS) in 2200, 59% of the population described themselves as Pardo (brown), 22% as Black, 10% as White and 9% as other.
Religion in Membatak (2200 Census)

Catholicism (8%)

Do you guys ever think that Nationstates is politically biased? I'm not trying to insult you guys or anything, but it seems like the majority of people on this website are politically biased for the left, especially with all the topics I see coming from the forums.
