I am really happy to announce that as part of the ongoing NationStates upgrades, the Moderators have decided to increase the use of Feeder regions! Through many discussions with the creator of NationStates, Violet, & several NationStates Moderators, the 10000 Islands has been selected as the newest feeder region!

As of later on today, when a new nation joins the game, they will either start in any of the Pacific's like they use to or they will be created in the 10000 Islands.

In preparation for all of the new arrivals, some changes will need to be made within the 10000 Islands. First off, instead of our four current Senators and three Ministers, we will need to expand the ruling Council of Nine. As of our next election in May, we will have 15 new Senators and many more Ministers in the new "Council of 37." New Ministerial positions will include the Minister of Defense, Minister of Issues, Minister of Spam, Minister of Spies & the Minister of Feeder Nation Relations to name a few.

The selection of the 10000 Islands as the newest Feeder region marks a high point in our regional history. From a tiny little 18 nation region that was attacked unfairly in 2003 to the creation of our regional defense force TITO (Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization) that has defended over 750 regions to date, to today's announcement, our region feels truly honored to be selected as the newest Feeder region. The Moderators also wanted me to point out that nations that will be created in the 10000 Islands will not be forced to take part in TITO, but they are encouraged to join if they desire.

I am really looking forward to the new faces we'll have around the 10000 Islands and in the Council of 37. Long live NationStates and long live the 10000 Islands!

Sincerely,
Grub
