The Rejected Realms is one of four Sinker regions and the primary ejection-free zone in NS. When a nation is ejected, it is automatically moved from the region it was ejected from and into the Rejected Realms. It is impossible to eject a nation from the Rejected Realms, which makes an invasion much different than in other regions.

The Realms has its own defender force, the RRA, or Rejected Realms Army, and publishes a periodic newspaper chronicling events in NationStates, The Rejected Times.

Government and military

Regional government is a simple matter. The Delegate's role is to represent the region in the WA, and the rest is really military structure.

The current Regional Delegate is Unibot. The known chronological list of Delegates runs Louldamin-Gres to MrNonchalant to Kandarin to Sedgistan to Collector of Souls to Frattastan. Kandarin is by far the longest-serving Delegate, holding the post for eight years (minus a few days due to raider incursions) before handing it off to Sedgistan in 2011.

Prior to Gres' delegacy (May 2003-June 2003) the RR was controlled by various invaders. Gres, upon becoming Delegate, organized the RRA; however it behaved in a rather hostile fashion and Gres was eventually ejected from the UN for UN multis. After a brief occupation (again) by foreign invaders, the Delegacy returned to native hands. The first RR government, set up in July 2003, did not really perpetuate.

The RRA has changed little since it was established as one of the first defender groups. Its command has been altered several times, but overall it has continuously acted as a defender group since its founding.

Trends

The Rejected Realms is a gargantuan region, with a massive community, boasting over 2469 member nations. The Rejected Realms is also feared by World Assembly members everywhere, with votes from 290 member nations.

The straight-backed, broad-smiling populace of The Rejected Realms eagerly dismissed concerns of oppression. Denizens generally have very few political freedoms, but some limited freedom is afforded to citizens of nations in the region. The economy of the region is remarkably unremarkable, with members being neither powerhouses nor basket cases. Denizens tend to pay their taxes quickly and quietly, with a median tax rate of 23%. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average 32% of the economy comprising the public sector. Commerce within the region is an irrelevant annoyance to governments.

In The Rejected Realms education, when conducted, is done with sticks and mud. The region is a lawless wasteland, nations regularly being the subject of documentaries by brave filmmakers. Governments make no provision for law and order. Nations within the region are forced to use soft fruit and harsh language in the field of battle, with no government funds being set aside for defense. Due to the lack of any Public transport, streets are packed with cars, bikes, and assorted noisy vehicles.

Governments in The Rejected Realms communicate very well amongst themselves, with administration departments working smoothly, with 4% on average of government budgets being devoted to Administration. Hospital patients are given credit checks upon passing through emergency rooms, as no government provision is made for healthcare in the region. Welfare in the region is minimal, with only a small amount of expenditure being devoted to spending on social security. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.

Social inequality is rife amongst the nations within The Rejected Realms. The environments of the nations in the region are almost universally appalling.
