Introduction
Europa is one of the largest regions in NationStates, with just over 250 nations to its name (and growing daily). As a region Europa offers hospitality to any form of government, whether kingdoms, democracies, empires, or disputed territories. There is no discrimination or rejection from the region without a significant reason. One of the only rules about acceptance into the region is regarding membership of invader regions, such as The DEN, as Europa is vehemently against invading for no reason, although she does have a reasonable military force for defence of allies.
History
No one knows the exact date on which the region was created. The founder recalls that he came across the region when it had only one nation left, with no founder or delegate. When this nation ceased to exist, the region was refounded by The Europa Empire. This happened somewhere at the end of december 2003.
Nations trickled in by themselves and soon there were five of them. The founder started sending out recruitment telegrams and the region grew, raising the number to ten. The numbers went up and down for quite a while. During these first months of 2004, Orioni chose Europa as a home and replaced Freedomistic Peoples as the delegate.
May 9th was an important day: the forum was created. It started with a blue-and-orange skin. At that time there were about 20 nations in Europa. On the last day of may that number had risen to 88 and this explosive growth continued: 125 at the end of July, 150 mid-August, and the 200th nation arrived on October the 8th. By the end of 2004, Europa was home to about 250 nations, making it one of the largest player-created regions in NationStates.

There is a compact, non-elected government of senior member nations, a list of whom is provided below.
