The theme of the fair this year is 'World of Tomorrow', and focuses on safety and security within the NationStates community. Prominent lectures on the topic have been prepared, including 'Signs of Emotional or Psychologically Abusive Behavior' by Rigel on December 15th, 'Safe Social Relationships in Online Communities' by Escade on December 17th, 'Maintaining the Roleplay/Admin Divide' by Malashaan on December 18th, and 'Tackling Sexual Harassment in NationStates' by North East Somerset (NES) on December 18th. "This year, our theme is the future of NationStates," President Rach stated in a public, official welcome to kick-start the World Fair. "It is about how we can keep and expand the opportunities to make new friends while being safe doing so." The World Fair gives an opportunity to bring the NationStates community under one banner to initiate dialogue on a given subject. Europeia is taking advantage of this by discussing the issue of security in NationStates. Communication on the issue of safety and security in NationStates will be critical this World Fair, and a Forum Administrators Conference on the issue of NationStates safety has already been planned for the event. "It is easy to forget how isolated our communities and the admins of those communities can be from each other," President Rach noted. "Improving communication is key [to] being more proactive and making our communities even more safe." Over fifty booths have been established for this year's World Fair, undoubtedly showing the width of Europeia's audience for this sixth iteration. This gives the Europeian community an opportune time to showcase its culture and what makes us unique as a whole. At a bird's-eye viewpoint, the World Fair is a cultural event to build unity within the large NationStates community. Through attracting a hefty audience, the community can come together to showcase the regions they have built and the communities they have served. Undoubtedly, this is what has made the World Fair such a special event in NationStates. "I would like to personally thank the committee for allowing Europeia the privilege and responsibility of hosting the NS World Fair," Rach said in her official welcome for the fair. "The opportunity to help run and do our part has led me to love the World Fair and respect all the demanding work that all individuals and regions put into it." Europeia won the right to host the World Fair through a bid developed by the Ministry of Culture and Minister Drexlore. This will be the first time that Europeia has ran the World Fair. You can view the World Fair here, Europeia's regional booth here, and Rach's official welcome to the Fair here. The Europeian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) will be providing ongoing coverage of this year's Fair.
