I, of course am the elected leader of the [Federation of Cainxinth](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=cainxinth), known for its lush ecology, lukewarm economy, and lack of crime, poverty, or illiteracy. We’re basically Dutch with attitude and sunlight. ---

The Dominion of [Entautha](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=entautha). **ShibbOleth** : Go to your current region (there’s a link to it in your nation’s description, labelled “Location: The North Pacific”). Find where it says, “Tired of life in The North Pacific? Then move to a new region!” Click on the link and enter “Sea of Cecil” in the appropriate box. On the Sea of Cecil page look for the line, “Like what you see? Move Olethlings to Sea of Cecil today!” Click and you’re in! ---

I’m the Most Glorious Exalted Leader of the Theocratic Eggheads. Not too much excitement around the Sea, is there? Far less political plotting and maneuvering than I would have expected. ---

Well, I just resurrected my old nation. I had started back when the first NationStates threads were posted here a few months ago, but gave up because I could never reach the site. It seems the traffic has slowed down (or they’ve upgraded their servers) so I present you now with [The Rogue Nation of Jettania](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=jettania) (formerly the Rogue Nation of Jetalvinasik). ---
