The YoungWorld

The YoungWorld was founded by Corinthes Phoenix in March 2004 and since then has grown from strength to strength. With over 600 nations, the YoungWorld is one of NationStates biggest regions.

Unique Region

It's popularity stems not only from the great people involved but also from it's uniqueness. The YoungWorld is one of the few regions in NationStates that has a monetary system. Money can be earned several ways:

by posting in the forum

open a bank account and earn interest

having a job (e.g. soldier, delegate, judge)

and many other ways.

Of course once a nation has earned money they will most likely want to spend it. Money can be spent on a great deal of things:

buy weapons and funstuff in one of the many shops

invest in the stock exchange

have a go in the Casino

Participate in TheYoungWorld lottery

visit the arcade (to play the likes of Tetris & Space Invaders)

buy a virtual pet (and take care of it)

or play a game of Sudoku

Role Playing

The YoungWorld also has a long tradition of Role-playing and has some great RPer's to prove it. Threads tend to be epic, going on for weeks if not months and it can get a little heated at times.

Court

Should anything get out of hand and someone feels a wrong has been done on to them, then the Courts are there to sort it out.

Random Humour

But it's not just about money and the courts. The YoungWorld is also a fun place to be. There's always something random going on, especially in the Spiral Staircase (Spam zone).

Democracy

The YoungWorld is also a democractic region and a new Delegate is chosen every six weeks or so. For a long period Styrland was the Delegate winning three elections in a row before retiring from politics.

List of Delegates (March 2004 to present)

Trespass

Tryanny

Styrland

Scrivneria

Jeianga

thesnowfox

Laskon

Military

The YoungWorld Army has been called the best there has ever been in NationStates history, although that claim is disputed by other armies such as The DEN. Even with several ambitious rivals, the Army is likely to be in control of most of the Warzones, if not all of them, at any given time.

In the typically good natured fashion, that pervades the YoungWorld, the Army never attacks other regions and has a long history of defending others, who may be at the mercy of griefers and invaders.
