States

States in Naval War League are political entities which exist under a single government. They are the agents for which each player works and represent, though in some games they are only a very small representation; in other games, the player takes a larger role in representing a state.

Representation
There are several levels of State Representation in Naval War League.

Represented State
A Represented State is a state for which an active player is assigned. Active states have a full range of action, and interact with other players without restrictions.

Non-Represented State
A Non-Represented State is a state for which no player is specially assigned. Non-represented states are therefore controlled by the Game Master. Due to this, non-represented states generally have a more restricted range of action and limited abilities.

Non-State
Non-states are areas for which no state exists. These areas are generally small, unsettled islands or similar places. Non-states differ from non-bounded map areas, which, for the purposes of the game, do not exist as habitable land whatever.
