	<p>In camp somewhere will be your national egregore, most of the nations have more than one, these are characters placed by us in each nation whose purpose is to uphold the national identity and offer support to all in a nation. They aren't your ruler or leader, you don't have to interact with them if you don't want to but they can point you to other players with similar interests, advise on matters of national interest and probably have ideas about plots and missions going on. Try and find them, they are very useful!</p>		<p>In camp somewhere will be your national egregore, most of the nations have more than one, these are characters placed by us in each nation whose purpose is to uphold the national identity and offer support to all in a nation.

	<p>The Senate is another solid structure near the centre of the fields, here the Senators meet to discuss and pass motions. There's a public gallery at the side, go watch a Senate meeting, find your senators and see if they're doing a good job for your nation!
