All,

As social distancing and other measures to combat COVID-19 take affect across the globe, online communities are becoming increasingly prevalent places for discussion and communication. The internet is serving an increasingly important role in maintaining relationships between people. Subsequently, sites such as NationStates and ProBoards are taking seemingly unprecedented action against misinformation regarding COVID-19 such as theories that the virus is a government conspiracy, or that players should ignore expert medical advice. The Union of Democratic States' Administrative Team expects all players to abide by the policies set by sites that our community depends upon.

If you have any questions or concerns the Administrative team is eager to address them in this thread.
