My nation's leader's dispatch.

His son, Väinö, is a Vänrikki in the Finnish Army, while his daughter, Assi, is still a child.
Pohjola's numerous sports activities include mountaineering, tennis, downhill skiing and Marathon.
The old, wise and talented Pohjola was chosen as the Valtakunnanjohtaja with the nation's young generation's overwhelming support.

“Ren, look more interested, our hosts spent their time coming out hear, you should respect that.” Kanji states, walking along the slick concrete of the docks. Through the fog burns sickly lights, the gates of the dockyard proper. Ren, her cigarette burning with a dull red light, merely shrugs.
“Kaji. If you didn’t want me to be bored, don’t drag me out to fishing villages.” She pulls her cigarette out of her mouth, staring into the fog intensely. “Think that’s them Kaji.” She gestures through the fog, her burning cigarette weaving a sloppy figure eight in the mist.
Kaji glances over, then shrugs. “I’ll take your word for it, my eyes aren’t what they used to be.”
Two wrought iron gates break through the mist, the sign that hangs above their imposing frames bearing the kanji signifying the dockyard proper. Two figures stand in their midst, a neko from the looks of it, and her partner, whose unmistakeable bushy tail signified a Kitsune. Kaji hails then, waving.
“Hey there! Are you the researchers for the Rynese? This is Kaji and Ren Hajimi, we’re here for ocean mapping.”

Welcome to The North Pacific!
Welcome to The North Pacific (TNP)! You might be a new nation to the game or in TNP, and you don't really know what is going on or where to start. Or you may be an experienced member but have several questions regarding some of the activities going on. Whatever the case, we have put together this handbook that you can use to familiarize yourself with the game and TNP, and to make the most out of your time in NationStates (NS).
The handbook has a number of different sections. The index below will help you navigate them. If you have any questions not answered in this handbook, feel free to send a telegram to Delegate Kaschovia, Minister of Home Affairs Lionsroar, or any of the Gameside Advocates and Mentors. They will be glad to help! Additionally, we are always looking to improve this handbook, so let us now if you think something should be added or changed.
Onboarding Checklist
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: Selecting a region for your nation is one of the most important decisions you will make in the game. We hope you will make TNP your home, and this link explains why. If you have already decided to stay here, that's great!
Join the regional forum: The forum is where most government and roleplay activities take place. Registering an account is very easy. You should get yourself an account so that you can check out what's going on and join in on the fun.
Join our regional chat: Our Discord server is where our members hang out and chat about the game and real life subjects. You can join and introduce yourself to our community. Additionally, if you have any questions, asking on Discord is the fastest way to get help.
Apply 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. All you need to apply is a nation in TNP and an account on the forum.
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.
Get involved in the government: There are many ways to get involved in the government straight away after joining TNP. You can write the regional laws in the Regional Assembly. You can take part in the day-to-day running of the region in the Executive Staff. Or, you can protect TNP at home and abroad in the North Pacific Army.
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.
Regional Publications
Through our regional nation, The Northern Light, we post a number of regular regional publications. You can follow them to stay up to speed with what's going on in TNP.
The Northern Lights: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, this is our regional newspaper. It includes both general news and op-ed articles about various aspects of TNP and NS.

The Minister of Culture Is proud to announce a new series of football (soccer) events for both SR and Eras:
Last December, Nessie and I collaborated with the Ministry of Culture to organize a region-wide football competition– the TNP World Cup. The success of the event led to interest from many members of the community in future tournaments. One big flaw with the tournament was that it was not canon for RP, and this has been addressed with the format of the new competitions. We are pleased to announce that the Organization Committee has decided to hold future events divided between both of the region's two main RP communities– Eras and Strangereal. I hope you enjoy taking part in all future events– sign-ups for this summer's World Cup events will open soon.
Thank You, and good luck!
~Highton
The TNP Cup– It will be an annual international football competition, similar to the one held in December, but different (Note that the December 2018 tournament was a test/pilot competition to work out the nuts and bolts of how these competitions would work and highlight potential problems. These problems have been addressed and will be dealt with in future tournaments). As far as Eras and SR are concerned, the other doesn’t exist, making a single tournament impossible for canon. This is why two tournaments will be held alongside each other, with both being canon for their respective worlds. An account may only enter one of the two competitions, not both.
CEFA World Cup (Eras)- This is a 16 team tournament held in June-July where only Eras nations take part. This is canon for Eras. Four groups of four, top two advances to the knockout rounds. This event will be held on the Forum.
FIDAC World Cup (SR)- Same format as the Eras World Cup, except only Strangereal teams may participate. This event will be held on the RMB and NS site.
TNP Super Cup (NC)- A non-canon event held upon the conclusion of the two tournaments. It is just for fun, to crown the ultimate TNP football champion. The winners of the two tournaments face off in a one-off match in Magically City.
The TNP Clubs’ Cup– This will be a clubs equivalent similar to the international version. Two tournaments will be held alongside each other, with a similar Super Cup at the end.
CEFA Champions’ Cup (Eras)- More than one team may come from each nation, but no more than 3 (depending on the nation). 32 teams will take part, and a winner will be crowned. This is similar to the real-life UEFA Champions League and will follow the same format. This will run from September to May. This event will be held on the Forum.
FIDAC Champions’ Cup (SR)- Once again, the exact same as the Eras rendition but for SR teams. This event will be held on the RMB and NS site.
TNP Clubs’ Super Cup (NC)- The champions of the two Champions’ Cups face off for this non-canon trophy at the Northern Crystal Stadium in Magically City.
The Eras-based competitions will be organized by Eras' equivalent of FIFA, the Confederation of Eras Football Associations (CEFA). CEFA's headquarters will be located in Highton City, Highton, and the organization's members are located all across the globe. The voting for who will host the competition will open shortly between the two bidders, Goyanes and Syrixia.
Likewise, SR-based events will be organized by the Federazione Internazionale Delle Associazioni Calcistiche (FIDAC). FIDAC's headquarters are located in Port Aramis, Antiyard. FIDAC has actually been around for over a year, and its creator, Antiyard, has agreed to collaborate with us on this project. The host will be determined in the near future.
Remember you can take part to only One of those competitions, not both Eras and SR.
In addition, we are searching for hosting nations for the SR World Cup, remember to join FIDAC first.
Of you have any question feel free to TG me or anyone of the committee.
