and to kick over some sand castles, and I can already smell the ocean.

Let's all be nice and civil to each other as we nuke the planet silly, please!

While ignorance may be cured, intolerance will not be tolerated! ✌️

Welcome to Orbis!

A quick overview of things if you've never played before

First things first, you'll want to find a community. Most of the game is played through player-to-player interactions. There are no NPC's in Politics and War (PnW) so all of the drama, politicking, wars, and economics are purely player-driven. You'll want to find an alliance to join - preferably one that is already firmly established and can provide economic and military aid to you. Typically a top 30 alliance is a good place to start for a new player - they can also provide more in-depth guides for how to maximize your economy and military.

Secondly, you'll want to keep a standing military. As peaceful as your intentions may or may not be, a strong standing military is the only way to guarantee a thriving nation in this game. Players that lack a standing military are often subject to "raids" which is where other nations will declare war upon you to steal your "loot" (aka- resources and cash). You can also utilize raiding to supplement your income as a new nation - raiding is particularly cost-effective when you are new to the game.

Lastly, remember to have fun. If you mess up or get raided or someone kicks you out of an alliance for being a newbie; don't sweat it. Typically as a new nation you can plenty of mistakes and it's not a big deal because it costs so little to rebuild you. So if you lost a war don't worry about it. Join an alliance and request aid and you'll be taken care of.
