I agree, however we must be very careful in what nations are invited to the region.
And i believe that this forum can be a tool in convincing them of joining.

I agree with East Moravia, but I must also point out that the whole NationStates game is in decline. There used to be 110,000 nations a month ago and now the total number is 91,000.

We do indeed have to do some recruiting, however.

I think the most active nations in the region should initiate a campaign to invite new nations into the region. The truth is that even tough we have some 20 something countries in the region, most of them are not active and run the risk of being eliminated.
Cases like this we have seen in the past months and hey represent major complications, not only politicaly but geographicaly.

We believe that we should start looking into nations on areas such as Eastern Europe or the Czech Republic.
Also it is to note that there are several nations in the region with over 20 days of inactivity, and they pose a great risk of disapearing.
