A few questions to get you started.

1. How did you notice the United Countries?

2. Are any of our members currently attacking or raiding you and are you trying to join us in order to avoid that?

3. How long have you been playing Travian?

4. What is your playing style?

5. Have you reviewed the rules, and do you have any objections to any of them?

6. Do you know anyone in the United Countries?

7. What quadrant are you located in and what is your location (X, Y)?

8. Have you played a server through to end game?

9. What is your population? If your population is low, are you extremely active, which will allow you to grow quickly? (Extremely active means logging in at least three times a day or more, with the "more" being the preference)

10. Why did you pick the United Countries and if you are currently in an alliance, or have just recently left one, why did you make that choice?
