The League's Defense Forces (LDF) is a defender military on NationStates (the military of The League & Concord) dedicated to the stability and protection of all regions, especially small, founderless, and vulnerable user-created regions. We believe all regions in good standing deserve the right to exist without invader interference. If this sounds appealing to you and you would like to join us in protecting regions across NationStates, apply below to join the LDF! Further information on the LDF itself can be found at this thread.

The LDF follows what is known as a "One-Org Policy" meaning that applicants nor current members are allowed to be a part of another military organization while simultaneously being a member of the LDF. If you are currently a member of another military organization, you will have to resign to join the LDF or your application will be rejected. Failure to disclose other memberships when applying is grounds for removal.

Apply to the LDF by filling out the application form below. If you are interested in applying to the LDF and are not a citizen, please complete that application first, it can be done at this thread.

There are Ghost Nations Among Us 
There's been a trend as more people look to join the TRA roleplay, and not a good one. More RPers as of late seem to remain trapped in a purgatory where they haven't completed the necessary wiki to be added to the official map, and wind up quitting or going inactive instead. Since these are newcomers and may not be familiar with wiki conventions like page categorization, and often wind up departing, we wind up with "Ghost Nations".
 
Ghost nations are nations that do not appear on the map, have pages that are difficult to find, and are often abandoned/unmaintained.

To me, this poses a few problems, but the primary one is that it's time consuming to clean up when someone leaves: Recently there was an RPer who joined TRA and switched nations multiple times, they never cleaned up the pages that they had discarded in switching nations, and one of these nations was integrated into a bunch of the statistics pages and the 2022 Winter Olympics pages. All of these multination pages required manual edits to clean up. Some of that is inevitable, but one of the more time consuming aspects of cleaning up these nations is not knowing if the RPer is still in the process of joining the RP, or has given up on the nation.*



I also think that having uncategorized pages might contribute to the onboarding issue- An important part of our wiki is that, when we find grammar, spelling, and Manual Of Style (MOS) mistakes, we can either correct them (when doing so does not change the spirit/point of the article), or bring it up on Discord to help getting the pages to convey what the authors want to other RP members.

*On a more historical note, it can be incredibly difficult to clean up the aftermath of an RPer leaving. There are still numerous people who left the region almost two years ago who have RP content we have struggled to remove.
