important announcements and updates will be posted here, along with monthly activity checks, so take a look here often, because you never know when something may come up. unlike the essentials, the information from this board is periodic and not as urgent, but will still improve your time here.

new to WRL? say hello and get to know the rest of the family! don't worry, we won't bite much, just a few curious nips.

got any questions? post them here. friendly (you guys had better be) members of the site will help you!

if something dissatisfies you so that you want it to be changed, or you have a general suggestion, post it here! staff would love to hear it. suggestions are always welcome.

on hiatus? going on vacation? saying goodbye? make a thread here telling us if you will be inactive for two weeks or more. otherwise, your characters will be dropped. please state your alias, approximately how long you will be gone for and all the characters you roleplay. the reason is optional.

chat, vent, or fangirl with the other members here! still, rules apply here, so keep in consideration the other members' feelings and don't spam! the OOC game board is also located here!

hey, i just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me if you're a phone addict and you have nothing better to do on a friday night...

want to confess about your secret crush or just need a way to vent? instead of gushing to your (possibly non-existent) friends or taking your frustration out on them, keep a diary! or for those of you who refuse to call it a girly name: a journal. be sure to hide it somewhere safe, or someone just may find it and flip through some pages of your darkest secrets...

get your pens ready for notes! or, if you aren't a total nerd, make sure your music players are charged to last you through long boring lectures! keep in mind that hetalia world academy is a school compatible with numerous talents, and classes are assigned according to ability, so do not be surprised if students from other grades also attend your classes.

the cafeteria, the ultimate division of cliques. it's loved, it's dreaded, and anything in between. it's where the drama unravels, where you find your place on the social pyramid, and the best place to make a scene or to make it official. the cafeteria, the center of teenage social lives. they also serve french food; 'nuff said. the fencing, archery, and cheerleading clubs also meet here.

need to get away from the world and lose yourself in another reality better than yours? the library is open between the curfews, and although food and drink isn't permitted, no one is very strict on that rule and it is not enforced. perhaps it's just so the academy seems more proper to parents?

vivid blooms are aligned flawlessly in a magnificent ocean of color. the garden easily puts the Butchart Gardens to shame (it's in canada, you idiots; you know, the country above america). wooden benches are set up every couple of yards. it's a nice place to relax.

do you like to draw? paint? sketch? take photos? lovers of art can be found here, either finishing up some project during lunch or hanging around here just doing their own thing when there aren't classes going on.

with a large stage and enough seats to fit the entire school and more, hundreds of lights illuminating the black ceiling, and colored spotlights, the first word that would come to mind upon sight of this room is 'fucking'. the next word would be 'awesome.'

the jocks can typically be found hanging out here. we've got it all here, from jump ropes to basketball hoops to ropes hanging from the roof. nothing like a bunch of sweaty people running around in shorts...

that's right, bitches. just when you thought this place couldn't get any awesomer.

another popular hangout for jocks. the sports fields here are: football, soccer, baseball, volleyball and track and field. all major games are played here as well. it's always fun to hide under the bleachers with a bucket of water and a water gun and shoot people when they come near.

split into three smaller sections of the band, orchestra, and chorale rooms, if you sing or play an instrument you'll have a class here. students really fond of music will hang out here when there aren't classes going on. For most general music groups such as the concert band, orchestra, and chorale, there will be two concerts each year. sometimes one.

calling all geeks! best part is, since hetalia world academy believes you all to be perfect little angels hah, keep dreaming - the blocks on websites? nonexistent. your histories are untraceable, but just don't search up, like, porn or anything...

the movies have a huge range of films for you to watch, from Horton Hears a Who to Final Destination.

love to bowl? big fan of ice-skating? this place has everything. it's new york, after all.

no underage drinking! but who the hell cares about that? it's freakin' new york! with an excellent bar serving a variety of exotic drinks, it's worth the hangover in the morning. this place is always so crowded, you're never more than two inches away from another person. sometimes there are special, uh, shows that might be more on the mature side... nonetheless, the nightclub is still the best place to have fun and get wasted.

welcome to the park. green grass, hiking paths, creeks, and all the other wonderful aspects of nature. tired of being trapped inside all the time? come here, take a walk, and relax.

for little kids. just your general place-slides, swings, screaming, sweaty kids. quite an attractive place.

get ready for days of golden sand and cool turquoise waters! unless it's wintertime, in which case, you'd be really stupid. the beach is a popular resort in the summertime. there are even little cabins the sizes of the dorm rooms to rent for an extended vacation. i just hope you like waking up to sand in your trousers.
