Difference between revisions of "Founderless regions"

Revision as of 14:55, 28 January 2014

A founderless region is a region which does not have a founder due to it either having been created by NationStates at some stage, or the founder having ceased-to-exist.

Currently the founderless regions can be divided into four groups.

First of which are the Feeders, a group of regions where newly created nations are placed:

• The North Pacific
• The Pacific
• The South Pacific
• The East Pacific
• The West Pacific

Secondly, the Sinkers, which there are currently four:

• Lazarus ^[1]
• Balder ^[1]
• Osiris ^[1]
• The Rejected Realms ^[2]

Thirdly, the Warzones, which there are currently six of:

• Warzone Airspace
• Warzone Africa
• Warzone Asia
• Warzone Australia
• Warzone Europe
• Warzone Sandbox

Lastly, there is a large number of regions whose founders have at some point ceased-to-exist, and who are therefore governed by their current WA Delegate. Should a region become empty, it is deleted upon the next Update and free for re-founding by another nation.

Strengths and weaknesses of Founderless Regions

Founderless regions are stronger than those with founders in the fact that more influence is needed by a WA Delegate in order to perform actions, such as ejecting nation. This prevents totalitarian leadership by WA Delegates. However, founderless regions are at considerably greater risk of raiding, as by necessity a WA Delegate is executive.

[1] Lazarus, Balder and Osiris are region where nations who have ceased-to-exist and have re-founded are located.

[2] The Rejected Realms is a region where all who have been ejected from another region are sent. As such The Rejected Realms is the only region in NationStates where the Delegate can not eject nations.
