Welcome and Orientation

So you're new to United Kingdom (NSUK). Now you might be wondering "What can I do here? Where can I go? Where's my cup of tea?" Well, we have this handy thread. It'll tell you where each of the different parts of the forums are, what they are for and what you can do there to be an active member of our community, here in NSUK.

We suggest bookmarking the Yellow Pages. Our Yellow Pages guide you through lots of different threads and areas within the forums. From links for our new members, major entertainment areas, government links and foreign affairs links to forum support links, you'll find a whole host of information!

Additionally, we recommend that you take some time to read the Constitution, alongside the Criminal Code. Here you'll find lots of helpful information on how NSUK works and different types of behaviours we try to discourage to make everyone's time here fun!

The first thing you should do, if you haven't already, is to obtain Citizenship. All of our Citizens have protected rights through the Constitution. Once you have been given Citizenship, you can also hold Government positions, such as Prime Minister, Secretary of State, Member of Parliament, become a Judge in the Crown Court and hold roles in local government.

If you are interested, you can sign up for citizenship here.

If you'd like to become involved in interregional affairs, you might want to join the Diplomatic Corps. The Diplomatic Corps consists of Ambassadors from NSUK that represent us throughout the NationStates world. As an Ambassador you get to explore the diverse range of regions in the NationStates world, meet many members of the game and uphold our reputation in other regions.

Perhaps you are more politically oriented and would like to get active in our government. Well, members of the Government are always looking for Executive Staff to assist and support them in the running of their departments. You're welcome to become involved in them all and to run in our next elections to sit as a Member of Parliament or run for the Office of Prime Minister. Our elections take place roughly every two months.  You find out about the Executive Staff here.

We also have our fantastic Discord Server. You can join by clicking on this link.

We encourage you to take part, engage actively, and contribute to the forum. Your involvement will be highly appreciated.
