This dispatch contains a user-friendly introduction to our regional roleplay, aimed at players who are not fully familiar with Selene or who prefer to take things slow, by providing a simple step-by-step walkthrough with the information that all roleplayers need to begin their journey.
Click the ⛫ icons within this dispatch to see more detailed information about the regional roleplay.
Events happen in Vesta, one of ten planets in the Selenid System and the only known to have intelligent life, during the late 21st century. The world is engaged in a cold war between two large alliances and countries are establishing permanent bases in other planets, setting the stage for the manned exploration of the cosmos.

There are certain basic rules to consider before one joins the roleplay. These are simple rules meant to help everyone have a good time.
DO | |
✓ | Treat others with respect. Posting content that is offensive or violates the privacy of others may lead to warnings and, if necessary, expulsion. |
✓ | Get permission from others before posting about their countries. You may not attack or otherwise affect other countries without first coordinating with them. |
✓ | Make your country realistic. Countries cannot be all-powerful or immune to problems nor can claim that they have just come out of isolation. |
✓ | Use both real and constructed languages and religions; but give them different names from their real counterparts or take the ones already in use within roleplay. |
✓ | Consider that time passes faster in roleplay as it does in the real world. There are three roleplay years for every real year. |
✓ | Post on the message board a least once per month. Failure to post at least once a month will lead to removal from the map. |
DON'T | |
x | Use the country statistics provided by NationStates itself. Statistics from NationStates such as population and gross domestic product are banned from use within roleplay. |
x | Submit an application for more than one country. Members may only have one country unless specifically invited to apply for a second one by the Roleplay Councillor. |
x | Use English as your national language or the United States as your reference country. There is already a country using both and further applications are closed at this time. |
When in doubt, please message our Roleplay Councillor or join our | |
