Hi! I'm new to the UK and Nationstates. So far I really love the game and the region and I try to be active in the Discord. However I feel like the forum needs to know about me too and I need to be a bit more active here. So you can call me Johanna or Joh for short. Only close friends can call me Jojo. I really love the UK, and I love being active in political discussions and learning about the world. I've taken a liking to the UK a long time ago and I'm glad I found a region based off of it. I hope to one day help the community by being somewhere in the political ladder. But for now, this is where I'll start. I hope I can end up making some friends on here! I'd like some tips on how I could be more active on the forums. I'll definitely participate in discussions and debates but I'm not really a gamer person or role player (at least political rps like on the forums).Things I love to do include drawing & animating, writing, travelling abroad, learning about the world, role playing, and law.
I love punk rock and alternative rock and on the date I created this my favorite band is Green Day. My favorite show has to be Eddsworld, Edd Gould inspired me to be who I am today. Ok that's about all, hope to see you all in the discussions! Don't be an American Idiot now, ok that was a bad joke. I won't make anymore Green Day jokes for forever now, nvm.

How are you, Johanna? It's great to see you here! If you love writing, you could get involved in the BBC and/or help write foreign updates that get distributed to other regions. You could use your drawing and animation skills to help people with logos, campaign slogans, things like that, and you can absolutely get involved with the law here!
There's plenty of stuff to do across the forum, just take your time, look around and see what you like. Let me know what I can do to help you settle in. :)

Welcome to UK! Lots of activities and ways to RP that don't feel like RP to ease you in. Lots of helpful folks around too.

If you are interested in law and a bit of a challenge I would suggest looking into the Universities LLB course. It is a really good way to get introduced to the legal system here and how it works; link |

I'm a very slow person and I also get confused when I join new stuff (especially big stuff) because it takes me a while to get used to things and know where everything is lol! Where would I find the foreign update/BBC stuff? Or drawing and animation skills thing. basically where to find where you can go in the forum to find the stuff you can apply to. |

Just take your time, look through areas a little at a time, and get settled. :) The BBC is located right on the main forum.

Pleased to have you here! You'll be happy to know that it's largely the same crowd here on the forums as it is on the Discord, so many of us will have met you already.
My advice to all newcomers is this:
On the home page of the forums, scroll all the way down and click the "Recent Threads" link in the bottom left. It'll show you all of the threads that have been active lately, so you can sift through or just give the titles a glance and figure out if there's anything that you want to be a part of. It's just an easier way to keep up with what's going on and find out where to get involved when you don't totally know your way around the forums yet.
As others have said, if you have any questions, feel free to give me a shout!

Welcome to NSUK, Johanna! I will second all the recommendations as well as note that reaching to anyone via pm is also a very good way to get acquainted with other citizens and the forums themselves!

Welcome to our forum! Glad to see you've already received some advice. Don't hesitate to ask questions, the forum can be somewhat overwhelming at first. But above all, have fun!

Welcome!
Regarding punk....
