Illuminati

INTRODUCTION

Illuminati derives its origins from the Latin word “illuminare,” with the root word “lumen” meaning “light”. Illuminati, in English would translate to “to light,” which is simply a spelling variation for the word “illuminate.” Illuminati would translate from Latin to English as “In the Light.” Being ‘in the light’ is not meant to be understood in the literal context, but as highly educated, and people with a broader sense of understanding of the overall picture of life.

Here in the region, Illuminati, we strive to insure our member nations are also “in the light,” as far as NationStates goes. In Illuminati we do our best to provide the average player with the understanding of the working of NationStates in every possible way, as well as other factions of the game (such as offsite forums, and simply general information). Illuminati is successful in that we have a storehouse of knowledge on not only other players, but also other regions, their forums, etc. This information is not made public, which partly contributes to our mystique and awe.

Political Viewpoint: Illuminati is strongly based on knowledge and Democracy. We impose democratic elections on all government positions, and of course, the more you know, the more likely you will be hired. This turns around then, so when you are hired for a job, you will have the opportunities of learning even more. Illuminati, does not, and never shall hold an official stance over Region Defending and Region Invading. We hold this stance because the purpose of Illuminati is not to actively partake in other regions affairs noticeably, but to gather intelligence about those regions secretly. As a highly democratic region with many freedoms, we do permit nations to defend and invade other regions, however those nations do not represent the actions or opinions of the government or the regions involved. Within our Government, however, our players have the option of doing both. Our Chief General oversees two Generals, one for Defending, one for Invading. So that our players may partake in all aspects of the NationStates Game. Both Generals reports to the Chief General, who is bias to their activities.

Intelligence: Illuminati recruits, trains, employs, and deploys Intelligence Gatherers, or Field Spies. Sometimes this is done, even if a player is not even registered on the forum or has never been in the Illuminati Region. We train spies in every faction of NationStates; as well as every faction of forum construction, maintenance, and intelligence gathering. Illuminati has the only known publically available NationStates Spy Training Facility, known as ISIS. It is a two week long crash course in Everything you need to know to insure you are able to spy successfully; whether you started playing NationStates today or two years ago.
