• For citizenship, you need a nation in our region and to join our discord server. Only citizens can participate in the roleplay and claim a spot on the map.
• There is no offsite forum. All IC roleplays take place in the RMB and/or Discord.
• Here is our Discord server: https://discord.gg/kUvTHV9
• It is recommended to make factbooks and dispatches for nationbuilding or roleplays. Wiki style factbooks/dispatches are highly welcome.
• Application forms may be introduced, if necessary.

• Every initial claim has to be made in the claims-and-expansions channel in our Discord server. RMB posts or telegrams are not valid.
• For your initial claim, add a brief alternate history or explication, why you want to claim your specific area. Also add the name of your capital city.
• Your initial claim may contain up to 15 free provinces.
• Your initial claim should be connected, we do not allow split claims (claims in different locations/continents, colonialism). Minor exceptions (single islands or a single province) may be granted by the Cartographer.
• Antarctica cannot be claimed.
• Being absent/inactive without prior notice to the founder for more than 14 days may lead to deletion from the map.

• Every expansion claim has to be made in the claims-and-expansions channel in our Discord server. RMB posts or telegrams are not valid.
• Your expansion claim must be connected to your claim, we do not allow split claims (claims in different locations/continents, colonialism). Minor exceptions may be granted by the Cartographer.
• You have two free provinces as free expansion per week. You cannot gift these provinces.
• You may claim up to three additional free provinces per week. For each of that provinces you need to write an expansion roleplay post with at least 80 words. You cannot gift these provinces. You must link your RP post to your claim.
• For special anniversaries or campaigns, the Cartographer may grant additional free provinces for all nations.
• You can earn up to three additional provinces per week from other players through diplomacy or war. For each of that provinces you need to write an expansion roleplay post with at least 120 words. The nation from which the provinces are taken must agree.
• You can give up as much provinces as you wish, without compensation.
• You can change up to two provinces per week for other free provinces connected to your claim.
• If you want to change your claim completely, you have to make an initial claim again. In addition, you can also claim a number of provinces that corresponds to 10% of your previous claimed area.
• Province cap is 150.

•Each nation can claim a single puppet state in addition to the main nation. However, a valid reason must be given as to why a puppet state should be formed.

•The initial claim for a puppet state is composed out of the main nation's expansions. It must be adjacent to the main nation (direct border or sea border). Alternatively, up to 20% of the main nation's provinces might be turned into a puppet.

•Puppet state and main nation are seen together in the rules for expansion. Both together only have 2 free expansions and 3 for roleplay posts per week. It is allowed to divide this number of claims between the two states.

•However, a puppet is allowed to make unlimited number of province switches so long as the provinces are immediately expanded into by the main nation.

•The puppet state and the main nation fall together under the cap of 150 provinces. Both states together may not have more than 150 provinces.

•The puppet state is marked with a different color than the main nation on the map.

•It is allowed to create a nation in NationStates for the puppet state, but this is not a requirement.

• First of all, we do not use NS Stats! They are unfair against new nations and unrealtistic in numbers.
• For military purposes, your capital city counts another two provinces.
• You may use technology available in the recent roleplay year or one year ahead. No fantasy or future tech!
