This page exists to provide information and insight into what Ajax is made from, and allow new members and applicants a chance to understand the region. In here we will explain how we roleplay with one another, what expectations we hold for those that wish to engage in this community, and an idea of the power structures and world one may expect from Ajax.

12			Ajax is a serious, focused worldbuilding and roleplaying region that incoporates both mediums into how nations interact and engage with one another. Members focus on a variety of aspects, including culture, individuals, politics, religion, and other lore, to build a living, active world. Often members will collaborate, creating intergovernmental organizations, sports championships, and other cooperative worldbuilding to make an interwoven story of national competition and engagement. Along with constructed lore, we also enjoy lively, dynamic lore in the form of roleplaying on the NS Forums. From short form character intrigue and anthology posts to long-going, story-driven arcs that explore royalty, warfare, and more across the world. The emphasis on telling good stories over statistics competitions is a driving force behind the roleplaying and in-character interactions within the region. The story of our world highlights blocs over powers, supporting the idea that minor nations can be involved on grand levels through friendly cooperation and interesting competition with their neighbors, allies, and rivals. Power is dispersed across the world, and not in just a handful of places, but is also itself a commodity in the global geopolitical marketplace. Empires rise and fall through history, and there's opportunity for a wide variety of concepts to emerge and connect with the deep lore of the world. We believe inspiration comes from constraint, and our focus is on facilitating both a place to be creative and a place to be collaborative. Finally, a region is nothing without its community, and Ajax is somewhere that welcomes those who are seeking others that share the worldbuilding and storytelling hobby. It builds itself as a place that helps eachother grow and prosper. We believe that the story that we tell is far more important -and well-received- than insular or aggressive interaction. Our goal is to have fun and do interesting things as we discover the world we're creating. We are all, at the end of the day, collaborating on something grander and more fascinating than the sum of its parts. We've all had questions and concerns about how to engage with a community and make it better, and it's far more constructive to reach out for help. That's why we encourage anyone interested in our region, whether in joining or just lurking a while, to ask us questions. We want to help you understand what our goals are and how you may fit in with our little project. Thank you for taking your time to get to know the region!
