       Population Decline

       It has come to my attention that our Region is crippling by a
       sudden lost of Nations. This has to do to the fact that people
       simply stop playing the game and become inactive. Another reason
       might be because our founder probably did most of the recruiting
       himself and now gone we are experiencing this. Actions like
       destroying our efforts to expand colonies will not solve this
       issue. The goals are simple:
       Increase Activity
       Maintain a steady flow of Nations
       So how do we do this? Well lets tackle these issues one at a
       time, first inactivity. There isn't much we can do in this case,
       the game is either boring or fun for some people, however we
       must keep in mind that for the most part, a person that created
       a nation on this game was either looking to RP (at some degree)
       or chat with people and debate on current issues. Now that we
       have somewhat of an understanding I can talk about my purposeful
       to fixing this problem... I believe we should have the active
       nations send telegrams to random nations within the region to
       "jump start" them. The messages will have to be something that
       will to be something that they will be interested in for example
       "Hey we are having a debate soon regarding gun control, and we'd
       love to have you voice your opinion....also we will be having
       elections soon in case you are interested". This method works, I
       know because I have experimented with some of you.
       Now for the easy part, maintaining a steady flow of Nations. The
       answer to this problem is easy, just recruit. However we being
       New Republica should take it to the next level. There are those
       who recruit by sending as many as telegrams as possible (Peunt).
       This is very successful in getting people to come to the
       region...but that's for the most part it (take the number of
       active nations and divide it by the whole and you'll get the
       success rate of this method). We can have "some" people do this
       but I think ultimately a successful recruitment is recruiting an
       active nation. This can be done by personalizing our telegrams
       and giving them life. I purpose we make a few new nation and see
       what kind of recruitment telegrams we get. My guess is that they
       will be very long and boring. We should come up with both a way
       to quickly make a new telegram to send and a better one to
       "spam". Furthermore I would love to hear any other ideas that
       you guys might have!

       Great ideas, USOM. As I've said before, you should personally
       organize recruiting.

       it's a great idea.
       what i would like to suggest is, when possible, organize at
       least once in a week a RP-night and a discussion-night, or
       something like that. maybe that'd get some nations interested in
       staying in the region and maybe even get some people to
       interact, become active and maybe come to the point of occupying
       government positions.
       i'm suggesting to do this because it was due to the multiple
       debates and sometimes RPs that once occured here that i decided
       to become more involved with the region. maybe it will work with
       other nations as well.
