Join the new world

The Department of the Interior Media Program will be a new program that will debut next week. The goal of this program will be similar to the DoD order program that currently exists, only run through the Department of the Interior. This program will focus on providing educational material to new players of the game through the media outlets. We feel that this will help to aid retention of new citizens, and will help them to become more active and involved in the game. Each article will start with the same basic message that will include information on becoming involved in the eusforum, how to contact Meals on Wheels, and how to receive a moving ticket to a fortress state if they need it. After that the articles will feature a rotating focus on an educational topic. These articles will be posted a few times each week with the goal of continually being in the top 5 to attract attention from new players almost every day.

To accomplish this goal we need the help of each citizen.

First of all, please subscribe to this paper. When you see a new article posted here, take a minute to vote that up. This will help to ensure that the articles remain in the top 5 and are visible to our newer players.

The second thing you can do to help is by writing and submitting an article to us to use. We are looking for articles that cover the educational needs of our new players. Each article should cover only 1 educational topic, and should be designed in a way that is easy to understand for a brand new player. If you are interested in submitting an article, please do so Here.

To give you an idea of what type of articles we're looking for, here are the articles we have already:
- Your first 14 days
- How to start a business and organization
- How to vote and subscribe to articles
- How to fight heal and berserk.
- Getting on IRC

A few articles that we could use (this list is not all inclusive, feel free to be create and submit articles you think may be needed):
- How to write newspaper articles and publish in game.
- How to manage your wellness.
- How/Why to join the military.
- Choosing a political party.
- Voting on election day and making an informed decision.
- Getting involved in politics.

We encourage anyone who has articles similar to these, or would like to write articles similar to these to submit them to us here. All authors who are used in this program will be credited in the article each time their article is used.

Retaining and educating new players to the game is a huge effort that requires the effort of many people. Please take a moment, either to vote, or to write an article to help us do this and help our nation grow.
