Welcome to The DEN ! This is a Free Region which is not allied or involved with any Invader Group, despite our unfortunate name in that regard. Contribute to our region in a polite manner only, please !
If you are looking for the DEN Invader group for any particular reason, go look for them in the " The DEN Base " and do not bother us about them.
This is - not - an Invader region, or one which will tolerate being invaded, okay ? Thank-you.
Early History
The DEN was founded when The New Den and a group of other DEN Invader Group nations (including Debugistan, Praedonia and Grippsholm) split from the self-proclaimed loyalist DEN II region. The DEN flourished and very quickly outstripped DEN II in member count, activity and number of raids. DEN II eventually gave up the struggle to continue, ordering all remaining members to move to The DEN in order to further the raiding cause. The leader of DEN II, Martian City States and several other nations including Weesnaw and Mara Jade reportedly refused to join The DEN, and believe the way in which its leader took command to be traitorous and extreme. The original organisation of "The DEN" founded by General Powell has since died off, and been replaced by the new DEN led by General Tommy Franks. The few who remained in the original DEN have gone their separate ways. Few of the troopers in DEN II went back to the DEN when General Powell retired.
Recent History
The New DEN and General Tommy Franks, who more importantly was Founder of The DEN, were both deleted on or around December 10th, 2004. The deletion happened due to some rather offensive and very abusive posts made on the RMB of the region of "The Old Raiding Club". Shortly afterwards, the Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization, (TITO) invaded the region as retaliation for the history of the DEN Invaders activties and perhaps in a move to prevent the region from being refounded for further inclusion in such activites. The DEN Founder, Franks, since re-incarnated with another account, thendeclared the region "closed" when he used a puppet delegate and DEN Invader supporters to "reclaim" the region. The puppet was soon after deleted for grieffing the region, by kicking virtually all the habitants except its own few supporters, which was a breech of NationStates region crashing rules. Another Franks account opened a new DEN Invader region and shifted all DEN activities there, leaving, for a while, The DEN region to its new residents whom had trickled in with time. Over the next few weeks, The DEN delegacy passed across the hands of several internally elected accounts, as well as at least 2 organisations who "held" the region secure over these weeks. Finally, DEN Invaders re-stormed the region, despite having claimed to have moved on weeks ago. Of 3 DEN Invader delegates in the next two weeks, at least one was deleted for severe rules violations. The region of The DEN is now mostly made up of non-DEN Invader residents who saw this sudden "return" by DEN Invaders a full scale Invasion of the region, and are vigilant of further abuse by the DEN Invaders.
