All of that, with the exception of wealth gaps and crime, is great.

Hello and welcome here!

Feel free to ask anything if you need any help :)
Here's some useful information:

Welcome to The North Pacific!
NationStates' largest democracy

Whether you are new or experienced, this handbook will provide you with answers to all of your questions. If you have other unanswered questions, feel free to ask Delegate Simone Republic, Minister of Home Affairs The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg, or any of the Gameside Advocates and Mentors. They will be glad to help! Additionally, we are always looking for ways to improve this handbook, so let us know if you think something should be added or changed.

First Steps

This section covers the very first items you should check off as a newcomer to the game and TNP.

  • Why you should be in TNP: explaining the pros of staying in our large region.

  • Endorse the Delegate, Vice Delegate and the Security Council: Endorsing the Delegate, Vice Delegate and all members of the Security Council is important for safeguarding our region against external threats and ensuring the continuation of our constitutional government.

  • LinkJoin the regional forum: The forum is where most government and roleplay activities take place. Registering an account is very easy.

  • LinkJoin our Discord: Our Discord server is where our members hang out and chat about the game and real life subjects.

  • LinkApply for citizenship: Citizenship is your ticket to TNP. As a citizen, you can vote to elect our Delegate and other government officials, hold them accountable, and even run for these positions yourself.

Ways to Get Involved

Now that you have cleared the basics, you must be looking for things to do. Below are some of the opportunities TNP offers.

  • Join the Executive Staff: The equivalent of TNP's Civil Service, the Executive Staff is a group of residents and citizens that are employed to assist one or more of the Ministries of the Executive Government. It is ideal both for new residents who want to gain experience in how the government operates, and for experienced citizens who are looking to contribute to the region through the Executive.

  • Enlist in the North Pacific Army: The North Pacific Army (NPA) is our regional military force. The NPA defends the region, our allies, and serves abroad helping our friends and fighting our enemies.

  • Enlist in the Militia: The North Pacific Army Militia is for people who wish to contribute to the North Pacific Army but for whatever reason, likely because they cannot/do not want to have a forum or Discord account, cannot be members of the regular Army in the Auxiliary or Special Forces branches.

  • Get involved in the World Assembly: Joining the World Assembly (WA) is one of the best ways to empower your nation, especially in TNP. Thanks to our WA Development Program, as a WA member you can determine international laws, have one of the highest endorsement counts in the entire game, and even win awards!

  • Get involved in RolePlay: We have not one, but two vibrant RolePlay (RP) universes, Eras and Strangereal. Each comes with its own map, chronology, and physics laws. If you commit to being active in RP, you can claim a spot in either universe's map, and join others in weaving stories about your nation and its role in the world.

  • Get involved in trading cards: Our regional cards guild provides many resources you can take advantage of to increase the value of your deck, including several offerings of free cards. As a member of the guild, you can also participate in many other cards-related activities, including themed collections, pull events, and regular publications.

Laws and Government

This section contains all the relevant laws, guidelines, and policies of TNP's Government.

  • Government index: Get to know your government by using this list of all government officials in TNP. If you have questions or suggestions about any aspect of the regional governance, feel free to send a telegram to the corresponding government official.

  • Law index: This is a compilation of all legal documents currently in force in TNP. This includes our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which form the basis of our government.

  • RMB Guidelines: Posting on the regional message board (RMB) is a great way to socialize and get to know other TNP nations. Just make sure to follow these guidelines.

  • Embassy policy: If you are here as a diplomat from another region, please take a look at our policy for in-game and forum embassies.

  • Recruitment policy: If you are here to recruit for another region, please take a look at our policy on permissible and prohibited types of recruitment.

Back to Top


World Assembly Policy

For WA member-states, here is where you can find out about our WA vote recommendations and voting policy.

  • World Assembly voting policy: Look here to learn how TNP's Delegate casts the regional vote on World Assembly resolutions, and how you can help determine that vote.

Territorio di Nessuno wrote:Are you going to visit Shönbrunn?

No, after we clear customs and immigration at the Vienna airport, we’re going directly from there by train to Linz. That afternoon we’ll visit Mauthausen, and then the next two days are for business. Then it’s an overnight train to the Frankfurt airport station, and the flight home.

It would be great to sightsee in Vienna, and some of the folks coming out are going to take some days off to do that. Schönbrunn probably is on their must-visit lists if they head to Vienna.

In a sense, I’m glad I won’t be sticking around. Two of the guys that are flying out from the states are going to be surprised to learn that they have a new employer, and I’m pretty sure one of them is going to be furious about it.

January is best for Vienna, especially if you have a dancing partner. I’m definitely keeping that in mind now. But she needs lessons first. ;)

And Europe has a great deal of diversity, historically, culturally, architecturally, and scenically. Verbier is vastly different from London’s CBD, even though both are heavily populated with Britons. (I still can’t understand what Glaswegians are saying.)

Ironically, I’ll be flying back to Europe at the end of September. I’m trying to convince that hoped-for dance partner to come visit Monaco with me.
