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.
