SK, I have my setting at 2 issues per day because of that. Try change your settings if you want a little faster pace.
Personally, I don't join any of the groups. As you've noticed, as soon as you join, you start getting spammed with people who want you to join their region. Regions like that typically act in the role play form of Nationstates. Because there is no built in war or raiding, a lot of people go ahead and role play that aspect of the world on the Nation States forums. So, it's really up to you. If some people join, I was thinking of starting up a Redemption Region, just so we can all be together in once place. It doesn't really have any benefits of anything though.
