A feeder region, or just feeder, is one of the seven game-created regions through which a constant flow of nations is maintained without recruitment. There is another school of thought that defines a feeder region as one of the regions where nations are created (see birth regions) and "feed" other regions. It is this characteristic of being a locaton where nations are fabricated, refabricated, or sent to through ejection, that enables feeder regions such maintenance of nation flow.

In all, there are in existence a total of seven known feeder regions:

The Rejected Realms and Lazarus are commonly labelled sink regions as nations can find themselves dropped there (an can not go any further due to incapacity of a delegate to eject nations). When a nation is ejected from (or kicked out of) a region (see: banlist) it is relocated to the Rejected Realms. Nations that have ceased to exist due to inactivity may be revived by contacting the moderators; in which case they end up situated in Lazarus.

Oftentimes refered to as the birth regions, the five Pacific regions are so named for being the location where all nations originate; are spawned.
