Players are able to create and manage "regions", which are communities for players. Each region has a "Regional Message Board", which acts as a type of forum. Each region is managed by its "founder" (the player who created the region), but players within the region can also choose a "World Assembly Delegate". The World Assembly (WA) is an organisation and part of the game acting as a stand in for the United Nations. It makes laws that apply to nations that have joined the WA but nations are not required to be a member. It used to be called "The United Nations", however Max Barry was sent an email by the United Nations telling him to not use their trademark in his game.
