Lesson 1: the World Assembly

To start, as you may have noticed, there is this thing called the "World Assembly". It is sort of like the United Nations of the game. What matters, though, is that World Assembly nations can elect one of their own as World Assembly Delegate of their region. In some regions, this delegate has authority over a multitude of things (including how the region looks, who is ejected and banned, and embassies). What we do is move our World Assembly nation* to this region and vote for one of our own (a process done through the "endorse" button at the bottom of a nation's page) to become delegate of that region, taking the region in the process.

*NOTE: You can only have 1 nation in the World Assembly at any given time. Do not attempt to create multiple WA accounts. For more information, please read the NationStates FAQ, specifically the "World Assembly" and "Etiquette" sections. Do not in any way attempt to break these rules.

On a step-by-step basis:
1) You create a new nation. Register it with the same email you use on other nations.
2) You apply this nation to the World Assembly.
3) Join the World Assembly (make sure no other nation of yours is in the WA).
4) You will be linked a region. Click the link and click the "move" button.
5) You will be linked a nation. Open the link, scroll down to the bottom of the nation page and click the "endorse" button.
