Roleplay.

First, you have to have a reason. They may have provoked you or attacked you economically, militarily, or diplomatically. But most people here ignore that anyways, so you can too, though I suggest you do not.

Next, you make an IC post saying:

The President steps up to the podium, a drawn and weary face under his rumpled hair, tired from a long night of military strategy planning. "Citizens of my nation, and of the world. The Nation of Lindim has attacked our borders today, and we must rise to the agressors and defend our country. Therefore, I am senidn gout five million men to Lindim by plane, and sending our first two carrier fleets to Lindim also."

Like that, but more detailed.

You really don't need a reason... just make sure that you don't declare war for something Out of Character -- not involving the game or In Character world.

In case this wasn't clear: War is not explicitly simulated by the NationStates game engine.

All references to "war" are references to roleplay conducted in the forums. That is, writing stories and playing "make-believe".

Once you understand that, then you can ask about how to participate in roleplay.
