I'm not sure how seriously I want to get involved in it, but I just want to see how all of you guys go about all of this regional politics. So what would be a good region to join?

Try out Greece, we just got our government back up and running, and by joining now, you'd probably be able to get a pretty good governmental position. Plus Greece is ancient :D.

Some info, we're a democracy, the specifics are still being hammered out in our assembly.

Here's our site made by me (Under Construction): http://www.gimixtime.net/home/greek/site/
And here's our forum (skinned by me :D): http://s10.invisionfree.com/Greece

Ah, I see you're from Illinois too. I'm not too familiar with Carbondale, although I've heard of it. I'm from Bloomingdale, it's a small northwestern suburb about a half hour from Chicago.

The Grand Chancellor and Councilors of the Alliance of Like Minded States cordially invite you to consider joining our Alliance. The Alliance of Like Minded States is a conservative alternative to the United Nations. It was established in January of 2005, with the goal of securing peace, defense against invasion, an economic free-trade zone, and the basic human rights granted by God to all mankind.
If you are share our love of individual liberty, free trade, and security against invasion from a foreign power, but do not want to weaken your nations sovereignty by joining the United Nations, than the Alliance may be for you. Why should you join the Alliance instead of the United Nations? Because we have an established Constitution that guarantees not only that you will have an equal share in the governing process, but that you will never have to give up the personal sovereignty of your nation.
Of course, not everyone can join the Alliance. The Alliance is composed of an elite group of nations that are all equally conservative, and that all share an intense love of liberty and personally freedom and the desire to secure these gifts. Because the Alliance is so exclusive, unfortunately you cannot just move to the region and join up. First, your application will have to go before the Council for a vote. But, in most cases, this process should take no more than 48 hours.
So, do you want to have the security of being in an alliance of world powers, but don’t want to subject yourself to the liberalism of the United Nations? Then the Alliance of Like Minded States is the perfect fit, Contact us today, at grandchancellor.ns@gmail.com and one of our representatives will get back to you with more information within a few hours!

Konnichiwa, the Constitutional Monarchy of Kiru Tao would like to invite you to the Asian Continent. The Asian Continent has recently been founded and holds diplomatic ties with three other regions: the Middle East, African Continent, and European Continent.

Have a look, why don't you?

I recently joined the Scroll Islands (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/79898/page=display_region) and have been pretty happy with them. They are not "like minded" in a communist or Borg kind of way. It's pretty relaxed there, and they have a pretty decent forum for UN issues, government stuff, roleplaying, and just chit chat.

Nothing communist about my region, and we are looking to create a decent amount of diversity. So if we appear "like minded," that's not our intent.

Come to The Tableland.

We have lots of stuff and a kickass culture but not much of a region political scene, I guess. We only have four members of our government and we all do a damn good job...

Anyway, ignore all these other weirdos: The Tableland beckons.

Well, The Tableland does have their own cool language. But I still vote Nasicournia for this one. :cool:

Hey. Join mine. Military and Business.
The group doesn't "sound" so good, but we welcome any intelligent people, especially those that are interested in military and business(birds of a flock fly together).
I made this group, in order to hopeful gather a group of intelligent people, which we have debates and discussions and learn from each other... Debate and discussions in the fields of international relations/politics, global economics, history(prone to military/war, politics) etc... The enlightened topics, not your average silly discussion on abortion(political joke, perpetual tug of war).
You are free to join our group, since hopefully, we will be an enlightened "elite" group, not a group of average Joes.
And finally I do not recommend joining the UN. You won't make a difference anyways, if our small enlightened group joins the UN or not. It's ridiculous to be fighting to make other people believe in your ideas, when there is little hope of victory anyways.
Maybe we can form a group that will solve today's problems theoretically, then spread our ideas. I don't know what we'll come up with, but I bet it will be good.
My personal ideas:
Opt for small government.
Governments should be limited.
Social welfare is another form of robbing Peter to pay Paul--- and getting praised for it.
Politics is a muddle, Realpolitik is the best way to explain it.
There is no just or unjust war. The object of war is to expand the interests of the nation, whether it is the people(uncommon) or the ruling party/class. War is a method of using violence to force the opponent/enemy to submit to my will.
Power creates corruption. Whether it is a saint or a power hungry man in power.
Citizens should save money for their retirement, not let the government pay for it.
Federalism is corrupt, but better than centralism.
As you can see, my ideas are not very popular. They are a realist, pessimistic sort. Anyone with similar ideas or wish to debate them can join my group. We will have fun:).

One feels one has misinterpreted the term "like minded". The context our region refers to as "like minded" is that we are free thinking individual nations with similar views on how our nations should be run.

birds of a flock fly together

i believe the expression is: birds of a feather flock together. see, it rhymes, so it's catchy!

Once we're back from region crashing, try these regions! New Ramen is one, and the other is Sonata Arctica.

It will be hard to make our region stand out above all others, but if you are new and want a friendly region where there is no pressure to get overinvolved, join The Land of Oppressed People.
It's quite diverse, with different opinions and interesting discussions flying about. It's quite a low profile region at the moment, but you never know!
Telegram our region leader, Psychopatic Warmonger if you want to join, and he will invite you in (I'm sure)!

FEEE, the Federalistic Empire of the Enlightened Elite.
No regional politics, delegates are democratically elected.
And we ONLY accept liberals or libertarians, although I prefer the latter.
There are no such things as government positions.

i strongly disagree with all those other nations because my nation enviromentally protect our national animal, the howler monkey which climbs from tree to tree freely and we have a currency that most people have never heard of, the yingyang, and we let all citizens speak freely, ecxept for criminals and there is no such thing as the death penalty for the criminals because we are democratic socialists.

In the great realm of the Holy Nintendo Entertainment System, lies one of the most legendary video game kingdoms to exist: Hyrule. Of course, there are many new nations trying to find a region, and we have the answer for you.

And, of course, it is Hyrule. We may not be powerful, yet, but we will be eventually. We have many nations at the moment, but you should not let the size of our region intimidate you. We allow you to run for the planned government, vote in cabinet elections, and, probably the most important, YOU can influence the delegate on what she should vote on every resolutiuon. And once our government is set up and running, we will allow YOU to vote on our first constitution for our region!
