As a condition of entry into New Sparrow you must comply with the Endorsement Law. Basically the law states that every UN-member nation must endorse the regional UN Delegate.

Any nation that is inactive (i.e. has not logged on) for 15 days or more without informing the UN Delegate, Vice Delegate or Founder of their absence risks being ejected. This prevents our region from becoming cluttered with discarded nations.

No. But non-UN nations are not permitted to register on the forums, run for government office or parliament or vote.

A strong regional UN Delegate means a secure region. The Endorsement Law was installed to provide the most secure region possible in New Sparrow. By having the maximum possible endorsements, the UN Delegate is secure from region crashing groups therefore protecting the region as a whole.

How do I get into government or parliament?
