Legislator
Run for a seat, write directives, work a committee. The most direct route into the argument.
New here
No application and no experience needed — just a Discord account and something you want to argue about.
Your first day
No application, no interview, no waiting list. Most newcomers are in a session within a day.
It is the front door. Read the primer channel, then introduce yourself — a name, and what you would like to try.
Membership is the roster. It is what gets you into the Capitol when the floor opens.
A party, a state, a newsroom, a clerkship, a campaign staff. You can change your mind later; almost everyone does.
Watch one from the gallery before you speak, if you would rather. Then write something and put it on the calendar.
What you can be
Run for a seat, write directives, work a committee. The most direct route into the argument.
File for Eagle Wire. You learn the country twice as fast when you have to explain it to someone else.
Message, strategy, endorsements and turnout for someone else's race. Underrated and always needed.
Work the courts: research, briefs and oral argument. For people who like being right in writing.
Run a department, file its reports, and defend its record when the press comes asking.
Keep the wiki. Every election and ruling needs someone who writes it down properly.
Community standards
USAI was founded on the idea that you can argue hard about a fictional country and still be decent to the person on the other side of the screen. The rules below are not decorative — moderation enforces them.
A note for parents
USAI is a text-and-voice roleplay about a fictional country modelled loosely on American civics. Members write legislation, hold debates, run mock elections and publish fictional news.
There is no real-world political affiliation, no fundraising, and no real news reporting. Moderators are active on both Discord and Roblox, and all members are held to the Roblox Community Standards.
The Discord is open, the floor is open, and nobody expects you to know how any of it works yet.
