Well, bring it up with the moderator, I'm not quiet sure if thats against the rules.
This should be in the Moderation forum, not II.

What they are doing is known as Invasion Griefing (at least that's what it is from what I can tell).
Invasion Griefing is the malicious cousin of "region crashing". Where "crashing" involves moving several nations into a region at once and taking over the delegate-ship, Region Griefing is used to describe the practice of illegally ejecting too many members of a region after invading it. Report this using the Getting Help Page. More detail on invasion rules and infractions may be found in the Region invasion FAQ. For now, some basics.
Region invading is legal, but griefing is not. When invaders take over a region, they may NOT 'destroy' the region in malicious ways.
* If a password is set, it must be telegrammed immediately to all natives of the region. This includes both UN and non-UN nations, and natives who are in the region as well as those 'kicked'. If the password is changed, a new set of telegrams must be sent. Failure to distribute the password is griefing.
* Invader delegates may sometimes kick natives out of the region for strategic reasons, but they must be immediately unbanned. Failure to unban natives is griefing.
* The number of nations kicked is subject to mod interpretation, but we will generally consider more than 10% ejections to be malicious. Note that this precludes kicking ANY natives in small regions.
* Counter-invaders who arrive after the invasion may be kicked and left banned, but again mod interpretation comes into play. If you kick/ban somebody who appears to be native to the region, it's griefing.
* All percentage ejections, native or invader, refer not to daily or monthly, but rather to the length of the invasion/delegacy. Switching delegates to sneak around this ban would be considered malicious.
The punishment for griefing a region is deletion of the nation. Repeat offenders may be denied UN privileges for all their nations permanently. Egregious offenders may be permanently banned from the game.

His name is Joe something, in Vinland, i cant get my friends back in as 1 is offline and the other is banned
That is total Bull Crap. He is probably just some stupid kid trying to anger you. Whats his nations name? If it's joe whatever he is just a n00b that is acting stupid. Tell a moderator as suggested.

Send a detailed message on this to the mods using the report thing.
http://www.nationstates.net/79122/page=help
Be sure to include all the details (like Region name, name of the nation kicking everyone, your nation's name, et cetera).

Wouldn't help the situation. This isn't an RP problem, but a nation problem.
