I need to clarify what the rules are for spamming/recruiting. My understanding is we can recruit in the feeder regions. However, I am not clear on whether we can contact individual nations, regardless of where they are located?

No. You can only contact individual nations living in the feeder regions. I won't swear by it -- I'm not a mod, thank goodness ;) -- but I think those are the rules. Unless the founder permits it, you cannot advertise in other regions' messageboards as well.

A complete set of recruiting rules can be found in the One-Stop Rules shop, linked in my sig.

Forgive me if I'm being blind, but it doesn't seem to address if you can TG individual nations or not.

AdSpam: Spamming other people's regional messageboards with adverts for your region. The only places where you are allowed to put advertisements are: the Gameplay Forum (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1234),
The regional messageboards of the game-created regions Feeder regions, defined as The Pacific, The North Pacific, The East Pacific, The South Pacific, and The West Pacific. Note that it is not legal to advertise in copycat regions like "West Pacific",
The Rejected Realms and Lazarus,
Official Warzones. And even then, don't over-do it. One ad per advertised region (NOT per posting nation) in any 24-hour period is the rule. Don't post if an ad for your region is still visible, even if it's been more than 24 hours.
Ads are allowed in player-created regions if and only if the World Factbook Entry says they're allowed. Whomever controls the WFE may set regional policy towards ads.
The same rules apply to sending advertisement telegrams to nations not residing in a feeder region: don't do it. No 24-hour rule here - one per nation, period. Report AdSpam using the Getting Help Page (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=help).

I can see how that could use some clarification. I'll work on it.

Ah, I see now. Sorry about that.
