Region: Environment
Cool, I'm new here too. Been playing around a bit to work out what everything is.
Seems most of the activity in NationStates is either the political roleplay it was designed for or this raiding and defending malarchy, which I guess is a sort of political roleplay but kind of seems like a community condoned form of trolling whereby bands of raiders hi-jack control of others regions to eject the natives and destroy the region.

There are occasional threads of genuine political discussion. I'm not yet sure of the full capabilities of a nation. Control seems rather limited to dealing with domestic issues as they arise and as a WA member voting on WA politics. Seems a shame there's not a more proactive involvement in your own nation. I may have just not learnt all there is to do yet.
Some seem to use it as a meeting place for turn based story telling roleplay games.
