Important Note: This will be revised starting the 12th, as some images and descriptions are out of date. Lazarus is what is known in Nationstates as a 'sinker' region, where nations are reborn and begin their time in Nationstates anew. But our region is much more than that, with our own unique government, regional theme and way of doing things - with plenty of activities, including spam, to keep our members entertained. Feel free to read through this Guide to learn about the region of Lazarus, and how you can participate. 1. Etymology of Lazarus 2. Government of the Republic 3. Applying for Citizenship 4. Jobs & Employment 5. Things to do in Lazarus 6. Basics of Nationstates 7. Questions & Feedback 1. Etymology of Lazarus The name Lazarus comes from the Bible passage where Lazarus is raised from the dead. When nations cease to exist, they are stored in the game until they are revived again, and Lazarus is one of the three regions where this revival takes place.[edit_reason]Notice[/edit_reason] |

3. Applying for Citizenship If you are ready to participate in the region more than just on the Regional Message Board, then it might be time for you to consider applying for citizenship. Some good reasons for applying:
The first thing you need is a nation in [region]Lazarus[/region], which is the main requirement of Citizenship. Once you have decided on a nation you would like to keep in [region]Lazarus[/region], then you need to: 1. Make an account on our regional forum, which will ask you to supply an email address, account name, birth-date, and password in order to register. 2. Make a citizenship application using this form, which will ask you to state the name of your nation in Lazarus, and your past Nationstates history (if any) in the game. What do I need to do to keep my citizenship? Once you have citizenship it is pretty easy to keep, so long as you keep a nation in the region, and tell us when the nation you have in the region changes. If you don't tell us, and your nation Ceases to Exist (or CTE's) or you no longer have a nation in [region]Lazarus[/region], then your citizenship will be removed until you reapply with a nation that resides in [region]Lazarus[/region]. The keeping a nation in [region]Lazarus[/region] requirement may be wavered however, if you are in the Lazarene Liberation Army (LLA) on active duty. ↸ Back to Contents |

4. Jobs & Employment With our regional government there are opportunities to get involved in the politics of the region. Lazarus has regional elections every three months for most political positions, and there are opportunities to become a deputy minister and serve Lazarus that way, and get a hands on experience of how our government works, and maybe even run for political office yourself in the future. This section of the guide will give you a brief run down of what is on offer.  The Grand Assembly of the Phoenix [Get Citizenship - Join the Grand Assembly] [Ask about Deputy Ministers] This is the main legislative body of Lazarus, where any citizen can propose a law or treaty, and offers citizens an opportunity to learn how the regional government works, in regards to this the Grand Assembly offers Deputy Minister positions, as well as the ability to vote on laws and treaties, and determine their shape.  The Lazarene Gazette [Apply to Join The Gazette] This is the official regional newspaper of Lazarus, and it offers the opportunity to contribute stories from Lazarus and around Nationstates. The Lazarene Gazette is always looking for part or full time editors, as well as anyone willing to write and submit a story or two. If you want to take a crack at this, and feel this might be the activity for you while you are in Lazarus then apply today.  Ministry of the Herald [Apply to become an Ambassador] The Diplomatic Service functions as the diplomatic corp of our region, and is composed of our ambassadors to other regions and others who serve diplomatic functions as needed. If you would like to join the Diplomatic Service as an ambassador to another region. What do ambassadors do? Why should I become one? As an ambassador, you would serve as the link between our community and the communities of other regions. You would post our dispatches and news to your assigned regions, keep watch for news and information that we should know about, attend festivals, events, and conferences which take place in your assigned region, and serve as an agent of goodwill and a symbol of our community, government, and sovereignty in general. Overall, you would play an important role in promoting our region, sharing our story, and letting others know what our region is all about. Becoming an ambassador is also a great first step if you want to learn more about foreign affairs, how other regions work, how diplomacy is conducted, and more. Ministry of the Steward [Apply to become a Deputy Minister] The Ministry of the Steward is tasked with the internal relations of Lazarus. The office is in charge of not only domestic affairs and internal security, but organizing games, events and role-play between nations of Lazarus. If running cultural events, making the region fun to be in, and looking after your fellow members of Lazarus, sounds right to you. Then why not try joining the Ministry of the Steward, and show us what you can can do, whether it is designing graphics, preparing a Role Play, or spreading your ideas around. Participate in the World Assembly [Join the World Assembly in Nationstates - Leave Forum] [Join the Lazarene World Assembly Team] If you are interested in crafting international laws and customs for both the General Assembly and the Security Council - you have come to the right place! Moreover, if you are interested in learning more about the World Assembly, and all its functions, go ahead and sign up as well. You do not need to have prior knowledge of the World Assembly to join, and our team will help you understand all the aspects as quickly as possible. Through group discussions, contributions, and team work learning the mass amounts of information that can be contributed to the World Assembly becomes a hell of a lot easier. No one knows all the answers, and the best way to overcome these challenges is to put our heads together. Before considering signing up, please be aware that there are expectations for teamwork, and that you will be asked to contribute or share your work with others. Furthermore, you must have a nation in the World Assembly, whether it is in this region or another. If you are active in military gameplay, that is fine as well – just as long as you have a nation in the world assembly. The Lazarus Liberation Army [Enlist in the Lazarene Liberation Army] The Lazarene Liberation Army is the sole military organization of Lazarus, and is tasked with defending Lazarus and its interests, as well as helping defend other regions from attack. Here’s something from the LLA to explain why the LLA should be for you: Also for those interested, here’s the breakdown of how the Lazarene Liberation Army (or LLA) operates:

6. Basics of Nationstates If you would like a more comprehensive guide to the game click here, as this just shows some basics. The World Assembly One of the first things you might consider doing is joining the World Assembly, as it allows your nation to:
You should notice the World Assembly link on the Nationstates Control Panel of your nation, which takes you to a page that looks something like this:  At the top of the World Assembly page is the option to Apply to Join the World Assembly, or if you have already joined to resign from the World Assembly:  Before joining the World Assembly you must make sure that you have added an Email address to your Nation account:  Once you click ‘Apply to Join’, you should receive an email within 24 hours, once you receive this email you can click within the email to confirm your WA membership. Another activity you can do in the game is to answer your nation issues, which will allow you to change the Civil Rights, Economic freedoms, and Political Freedoms in your nation, in addition to what you decided when you first founded your nation. What are Issues? Issues are events that your nation has to decide to do about - or dismiss (ignore). Each issue usually shows different views of petitioners within your nation: Usually they represent people or groups that want to neglect or improve upon aspects of your nation’s economy – but they can also involve restricting or expanding the civil rights or political freedoms of your nation as a whole i.e. establishing a dictatorship vs establishing a liberal democracy. How many issues can I have each day?
When you answer issues, they change your rankings in global categories. A. They change how your nation ranks in Civil Rights, Political freedoms, and Economic freedoms. Here are some government categories that can result from how your issues are answered. Here's an example of what you might see when your government category is changed. B. They change your global rankings in regards to culture, nudity and so on. This shows how recent issues have impacted a nation. ↸ Back to Contents |
