Glad to have you here! Tokelau-Niue and TesGay |
Welcome to the Alliance! |
A warm welcome to Be sure to join the World Assembly here if you haven't already. Guide on why and how here: Why Join? FACT: The single greatest thing you can do to prevent this region from getting damaged by raiders is joining the World Assembly and endorsing everyone here. This is because of a concept of "influence". In NationStates, you gain roughly one influence every 12 hours, plus one more for every endorsement you have. Thus, someone with 5 endorsements gains 12 every day. Influence is needed to eject people from the region, but the influence needed is proportional to the person you are ejecting's influence. Therefore, if everyone in a region of fifty people joined the World Assembly and endorsed each other, they'd be much safer from raiders than a region of 100 with only 25 people cross-endorsing. Endorsing everyone in the region only takes a few minutes, but it means weeks or months of repair are not necessary should we get raided. Additionally, since you can only join the WA with one nation even if you can make multiple nations, it ensures that everyone in our region is exactly who they say they are, and that they are committed to making Ridgefield their home. As a result, joining the World Assembly is required here in Ridgefield, under penalty of ejection, due to the security risk non-WA nations pose. But that's not all! The World Assembly is an incredible opportunity for you to make your voice heard. You may have seen those resolutions up at vote on the World Assembly page. Guess what? They were written by nations just like yours! Here in Ridgefield, we're all about helping you make world-changing proposals. Just telegram me, and I and your other neighbors will be happy to help you draft something that really shines! How to Join and Endorse?

| AUGUSTIN ALLIANCE | GOVERNMENT | HISTORY | INFORMATION CENTER | MAP | REFERENCE | REGISTRY | ROLEPLAY | STATISTICS | The following are encouraged as a good way to get started, particularly for new players! A couple recommendations: 1. Introduce yourself on the Regional Message Board. This will help you get to know your neighbors. 2. Join the World Assembly. This is our only requirement, and it is a very easy process. 3. Check out our 4. Read all about Ridgefield's government here! Enjoy your stay, and please do not hesitate to ask questions! The following are a collection of the most commonly received questions, especially from new residents. 1. What is...? NationStates has a lot of acronyms, initialisms, and terms that do not exist anywhere else. Just got here and have no idea what a "WFE" is? How about an "endo?" Look no further! There is an encyclopedia of NS located right here. It can also be accessed through the "Reference" link in the menu above. 2. What is there to do in this game? NS is essentially an open sandbox, rather than a highly structured war game, which makes it a very unique as a political simulator. There are many ways to play, and just like in real life, there is no defined way to win. You could even come up with a new use for NS; with a little creativity, anything is possible. That being said, most NSers spend their time pursuing one of four common activities: roleplaying, gameplaying, debating real life matters, and discussing WA legislation. 3. Those sound interesting! All right, that was not exactly a question, but here are some brief descriptions of those four activities. Roleplay: On NS, roleplay (commonly known as RP) is text-based, and consists of players writing collaborative stories that bring their nations (or people within their nations) to life. It usually takes place on the NS forums, player-created offsite forums, or region RMBs. Gameplay: The term "gameplay" (commonly known as GP) encompasses a number of things. It includes the "issues game," where players answer issues to build their nations in a certain way and compete on World Census reports; the "invasion game" (commonly known as raiding and defense, or R/D); and regional politics. Real-world debate: This is mostly self-explanatory, and takes place in the General subforum (commonly known as NSG), or on regions' offsite forums and RMBs. World Assembly: The World Assembly (commonly known as the WA) is a mixture of RP and GP. It is the world's only international legislative body, similar to the real-world United Nations. Many players like to spend time writing their own WA resolutions or discussing proposals written by others. This takes place in the General Assembly and Security Council subforums. If this sounds interesting to you, it is highly recommended that you begin there, by asking questions and reading other players' work. 4. I followed the recommendations in the "Getting Started" section. Now what? We recommend helping us to set up the region! Now, admittedly, we are biased. If you try it, though, you might find yourself unable to stop! Since we are so new, this is the best time to get involved and contribute your brilliant ideas. There are experienced players in adjacent regions who will be happy to work with you to make Ridgefield great. 5. Can I declare war? How about setting up alliances, or trading? NS does not include functions for war or trade, but that should be no obstacle to you! If you have a large enough group, you may attack another region, which is called "raiding" (see "Gameplay" under question 3). You can also begin an RP war with another player ( Alliances are a little more complicated, because they can take so many forms. Again, there is no built-in function for alliances, although embassies can be established between regions, and are sometimes used to signify formal agreements. In general, alliances between nations are RPed. Alliances between regions, on the other hand, are most often political gameplay agreements. 6. So does this place have rules? Glad you asked. The site rules are located in If you were looking for the rules of the region, you will find that there are very few, and they rely mostly on common sense. We do ask that you not spam the board with nonsense. 7. Can I get more detail about some aspect of the game? Sure!

Surprisingly enough, subsidizing Golf has lead to a 16.3% positive increase in Economy and a 8.5% increase in Economic Output and Average Income, while simultaneously boosting the Manufacturing Sector by 7.2% and Welfare by 10.9% in my nation... However much that might be unexpected, it is very welcomed by the government, so forth came a proposition to make Golf outings an official type of parliament gathering.

Did you know the yellow in Betmet's flag stands for... Pineapples!? No it doesn't, but in the vibrant culture of Betmet, the pineapple isn't just a fruit—it's a symbol of hospitality! From pre-modern times, original Betmetian settlers used pineapples to welcome guests, believing its sweet taste brought good fortune. However, it turns out that the Betmetian settlers' reverence for the pineapple was not merely born from nothing, but influenced by the ancient beliefs of the original Molossian tribes. Legend has it that the Molossians saw the pineapple as a metaphor for the corruption of humanity—a fruit with a sweet origin that extended to become harsh and rough. Yet, in their wisdom, they also recognised its potential for transformation. Thus, when the Betmetian settlers arrived, they embraced the pineapple not just as a fruit, but as a powerful symbol of reconciliation and hospitality, bridging the gap between old beliefs and new beginnings.

This game is very biased towords capitalism TesGay and Haymarket Riot |
I will say, it is possible to get a command economy in this game that is highly ranked. However, you have to answer the issue that leaves your economy up to AI, which is...yeah. I'm cool with it but it's not worth it for every country. Personally I try to mostly ignore my stats for this reason. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also, welcome to Ridgefield Last updated on January 28, 2024.

Hello, everyone! My name is Byrd, and I'm here as your new Director of Relations! Prior to me deciding to join Ridgefield, I was a member of fellow AA region Anteria, being a veteran of five years. I've had plenty of experience running the government there, and I hope to do well for the Ridgefielders of the world in this position as well! Thank you in advance for having me as your Director of Relations. TesGay and Haymarket Riot |
To add to this, I've appointed Byrd to serve as Director of Relations because of his unique passion for the role, and because of my prior experience with him in the Joint Task Force, which previously served as the Augustin Alliance's military. I'm confident in his ability to serve and I'm glad to welcome him onto the team. Please don't hesitate to let me or Byrd know if you wish to become involved in positions in Foreign Affairs! |

Why Join? FACT: The single greatest thing you can do to prevent this region from getting damaged by raiders is joining the World Assembly and endorsing everyone here. This is because of a concept of "influence". In NationStates, you gain roughly one influence every 12 hours, plus one more for every endorsement you have. Thus, someone with 5 endorsements gains 12 every day. Influence is needed to eject people from the region, but the influence needed is proportional to the person you are ejecting's influence. Therefore, if everyone in a region of fifty people joined the World Assembly and endorsed each other, they'd be much safer from raiders than a region of 100 with only 25 people cross-endorsing. Endorsing everyone in the region only takes a few minutes, but it means weeks or months of repair are not necessary should we get raided. Additionally, since you can only join the WA with one nation even if you can make multiple nations, it ensures that everyone in our region is exactly who they say they are, and that they are committed to making Ridgefield their home. As a result, joining the World Assembly is required here in Ridgefield, under penalty of ejection, due to the security risk non-WA nations pose. But that's not all! The World Assembly is an incredible opportunity for you to make your voice heard. You may have seen those resolutions up at vote on the World Assembly page. Guess what? They were written by nations just like yours! Here in Ridgefield, we're all about helping you make world-changing proposals. Just telegram me, and I and your other neighbors will be happy to help you draft something that really shines! How to Join and Endorse?
