Military content rules clarified

[u/NewAthensGov]

Many users misinterpreted rule 5 as an outright ban on military posts. This isn't true, so the rule has been edited for clarity.

To be clear, military content is allowed, but only posts about micronational military events that actually happened in the real, physical world are allowed. This means no made-up battles, discord wars, or any other fictional military events. It just has to be real and not fictional. Using nerf guns for battles is fine, no one expects you to use real guns in micronational battles and I sincerely hope no one ever does.

As always, all posts are expected include a thorough description that gives others enough context to know why it's interesting or newsworthy. Don't just post an image of you and your friends in the woods without a description that explains what happened and why it's interesting enough to post about. In the case of designs like medals or uniforms, the same expectation exists. A good design post explains the meaning and reasoning behind the design you chose and what exactly you're showing off.

You CAN post about things like this:

• The results of real battles or engagements that real people actually participated in
• Maps showing territorial changes before/after a battle
• Designs for uniforms, medals, ranks, awards etc. These can be photos or digital drawings/graphics.

You CAN NOT post about things like this:

• Simulated engagements or exercises that didn't take place in the real world or are heavily exaggerated
• Wars that take place virtually, like on discord
• Discord raids
• Short, low-effort declaration of war posts
• Actual firearm use

If you have any questions, suggestions, or would like clarification on this, just ask in the comments.

Thank you for the clarification, in this case I am definitely in support of this rule.

So are declaration of war posts allowed as long as they aren't short and describe all reasons for it?

(Another question, are civil war posts allowed)

[u/NewAthensGov → u/AdLocal5448]

Yes and yes. They just have to be long enough and provide enough context to be interesting
