Defender
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
A defender is a nation which attempts to stop region crashing attacks.
Often, defenders endorse the native UN Delegate, although when the native delegate is inactive, defenders usually endorse a defender delegate who takes the delegate position, ejects the invaders, and leaves.
Defenders are usually parts of defender organizations, or groups of defenders. The biggest of these organizations is the Alliance Defense Network or ADN.
