Region/Canada/SK/Elsewhere

The Canada :: Saskatchewan :: Elsewhere NaNoWriMo region consists of anywhere in Saskatchewan not already covered by another region.
==History==
The Elsewhere region has existed since 2011. The region is composed of those previously affiliated with Regina, Saskatoon but did not live in either of those cities, or were not affiliated with a region at all.
Here is the note sent by Fall-Apart, the first ML, announcing the creation of the Saskatchewan::Elsewhere region
:Good news everybody! The folks at the mothership, NaNoWriMo.org, have decided to let us non-Saskatoon, non-Regina people have our own region for 2011!
:You can check out our new regional forum, and make sure you set your home region to Canada :: Saskatchewan :: Elsewhere, so your word counts get added to our total.
:We’ll continue to meet in PA, but hopefully, we can get some people from elsewhere in the province involved.

Region/Canada/SK/Regina

Canada :: Saskatchewan :: Regina consists of the greater Regina area, with some intrepid Wrimos from as far as Moose Jaw making the occasional quest to a write-in. The region won the 2011 League 3 Donation Derby for highest increase in average donation.
==History==
Regina has had an active crew of writers since before 2008, with writers meeting up even in years without an ML. Since 2008, impromptu write-ins have been held. These were initially supported by a large number of participants living in residence at the University, often taking place in common areas of the residence (this also welcomed non-NaNoing friends who were working on assignments). The practice continues today. When writers choose to venture out of the house to write, and maybe want some company, they can post in the Impromptu Write-Ins thread or send out a tweet a few hours in advance to see if anyone wants to join them.
After a couple of ML-less years, grlgoddess became ML in 2013, bringing many stickers and a jolly red bear for donations. It didn't take long for the lure of the official stickers to lead to unprecedented growth. Almost 30 individuals came to at least one event, almost doubling 2013, leaving many long time Wrimos in shock. 2014 is also when partnerships with the Saskatchewan Writers Guild and Regina Public Library began, providing the region with space for write-ins, promotion, and talks from local published writers.

Region/Elsewhere/Elsewhere

The Elsewhere region is used for those users for whom a more specific region does not exist or for users who do not wish to be a part of their designated region. It never had an ML until 2017 and was a typically inactive regional board until that time. Some examples of Wrimos who geographically belong in this region: residents of Antarctica (which has happened), Midway Islands, New Caledonia, Greenland, and many other islands outside of Micronesia. Should NaNoWriMo extend beyond the earth's atmosphere, those Wrimos would also belong in Elsewhere until they create their own regions with an ML.
Elsewhere is also a top level region for areas that have MLs but do not belong in any of the other areas.
