Region: Union of Nationalists
If you have been a member of the World Assembly (WA), you've probably seen that you can endorse and get endorsed by other nations by pressing the button on their pages. Getting the most endorsements in your region means you become the WA Delegate and can get certain privileges, ranging from greater voting power in the WA to being able to ban people from the region.
If you check page=region_control/region=union_of_nationalists you can see what the WA Delegate in this region can do; in this case I have revoked all privileges. If the leader of a region stops logging in and their nation disappears (such as what happened in your former region), all privileges automatically become available to the Delegate, allowing bad guys to 'raid' the region by cancelling embassies, changing the regional description and flag, and banning people.
Some further reading on the raiding part of this game:
What is Raiding?
1. "Tag" the region and leave by:
Customising the World Factbook Entry (WFE)
Changing the regional flag
Controlling the proposition, construction and closure of embassies
Suppressing as many posts as one likes on the Regional Message Board (RMB)
2. Occupy the region for an extended period of time; potentially destroying it

How to Occupy?
- There isn't much to do other than to endorse the point and wait.
- However, when there is an update on, one is free to leave for the update, as long as one re-endorses the point after the update.
- The point must be on the lookout during the Major and Minor updates for defenders attempting to liberate the occupied region.
- When defenders enter the region in order to liberate an occupation, the point must banject every one of them as soon as they enter the region.

Tag Raiding
- DO NOT JOIN THE WORLD ASSEMBLY WITH MORE THAN ONE NATION
- Move all switcher puppets to The_Evil_Empire before the update starts. Evil Empire is a region that updates very late and thus, is used to stage all tag raids.
- Communication for all raids are hosted on Discord, contact the individual that recruited you if you're not already part of the server.
- Switcher puppets can be personalized, or randomly generated.
- You can now apply the World Assembly (WA) at any time.

(Review Lesson 5 First) Tag Raiding Continued
You can watch for the update message here:
https://www.nationstates.net/template-overall=none/region=INSERT_REGION_NAME
You are waiting for it to say "Seconds Ago". When that appears either you or someone else leading will post "GO" into a group discord. At which everyone will move to the target region.
Do this too early and Defenders or Native Nations will have an opportunity to counter your efforts.
Introduction
...
Creating a "Clean" Puppet
...
I. Make the puppet look genuine. Pretend that this is your very first nation. This means:
- No references to any part of NationStates or Gameplay
- No default options
II. Answer your Issues regularly. This means:
- It's not necessary to answer them every time you get them. Answering Issues once every two days is the barest minimum.
- A puppet not answering Issues looks suspicious enough. A puppet not answering Issues but remaining active looks extremely suspicious
...
Insertion into the Target
- Do NOT move your puppet to any raider or imperialist regions
- Stay in the region you moved to for a few days at least
- Continue to answer Issues
- Do NOT communicate with the natives
- Continue to answer Issues
