Hello there! Someone's been badmouthing your flag colour choice.

I won't take this lightly.

Why not? You should think about taking life more lightly.

The president mixed his tea, resting the porcelain cup on the brown side-table. Dipping back in his comforter, Dao lounged and turned on the morning news, before going back, to stirring his tea.

Gambling through the few networks, Dao randomly chose—his personal favorite—Roctanian News.

“...appears the world is in mourning for deceased Queen Mafi Tupou VIII (8th),” exclaimed newbie Trevor A. Stewart. “As sources have discovered, the leader was killed by an anonymous male, with old Venicesn heritage. We can confirm...”

The president dropped his spoon and smiled, a large smirk. “Another excuse for war?” he giggled, cruelty seeping on his tone. “All a play for power, I wouldn’t be surprised if this murder was run by the royal family itself. Barbarians,” he coughed blood into a napkin and quickly set it down.

“...the man is sentenced to death in 7 days...”

“At least we agree on death penalty,” Dao thought aloud. “However you monarchic societies, ugh.” Dao scoffed and coughed into his napkin once more.

He turned off the television to begrudgingly leave his warm chair and stalk outside the beautiful living room.

As ever, King Andrianary Razoarimihaja sat upon his throne, two women at his side. Neither was his queen, though he had indeed taken one. Instead, next to their leige stood the priestess of the Lord and the sorceress, and as happened every day, their arguments continued. Tsiky Oumori, descendent of revered Antaimoro mystics, offered her king a bowl of mashed leaves and roots. “If you seek good health, my lord, this brew will help you fend of the demons of disease. You do not wish to be sick again, do you?”

Sylvaine Ralazasoa, the priestess, scoffed, before speaking with her usual delicate, somewhat French accent. “If you wish to avoid sickness, consuming this putrid solution of grime, dirt and inedible plants is the last thing you should do. Have faith in the Lord. He will grant you salvation from malady, should your prayers be honest. This woman is little more than a devil incarnate, seeking to feast off of your agony. Her witchery holds no power. Seek not her guidance, but that of the Lord, my liege, and find solace and contentment from the spirit of true divinity.”

The King, of course, had accepted solutions from both of these women in the past. Indeed, there was a reason he had allowed them to argue at all in his presence- to him, it was a source of entertainment. Each was a rarity, an exotic find, and each served him well when circumstances demanded it. But in the interim between crises and matters of urgency, their conflict provided amusement. It was almost childish, how each despised the other, yet both were similar in so many respects. Each other aided him, offered him counsel, and Each was fiercely determined to protect him in thief own way- albeit, mostly from the other.

“Perhaps the seeker of the imaginary is correct. I am certain desperate cries to the heavens above are sure to be more fruitful than that which can be seen, smelled, tasted and consumed. Perhaps we best indulge her, my lord. Perhaps then she will be-“ Tsiky was interrupted by the arrival of another man, a messenger, who bowed before his king before handing said monarch a letter. Andrianary examined its pages. Once, he recalled, these lands had considered writing a scared art, a form of sorcery. Now machines could perform the same duty with ease, on a massive scale.

“An invitation from our African neighbours,” he mused aloud. “My chosen angels, I ask of you this. Read these words, and tell me, what worth will it be to venture to these foreign lands as they request?” Andrianary handed the piece of paper to Sylvaine first, before retreating into his own contemplations. There was little to garnered from those words about the specifics of the meeting. Foreign affairs and the “affairs in the land of Africa” were vague at best, and far more detail had been given to various other information such as accomodations and an invitation to a game of some kind.

“My lord,” said Sylvaine- Tsiky having snatched the page away in the interim- “this may present a chance to make our presence known on the international stage. I would require further prayer to grant you a better answer, but it is an opportunity for us. I feel we should not waste this timely occurrence.”

Tsiky seemed to have other ideas. “We are conspired one of the lesser nations of the world. Should we venture there, we will find only the sinister intent of those seeking to exploit us. Only demons lurk in wait there. Far better, I believe, to focus on our own problems.”

“You mean,” said the priestess, “the very problems we could ask other to aid us with?”

“Ah, you each have made your stance clear.” Andrianary’s voice boomed throughout the chamber. “I believe it best to take hold of this opportunity, to at very least be aware of what is discussed there. Priestess, may you be as kind as to offer me a pen and paper? The time has come to make my reply.”

————————————————————————

To Abraham Oleko,

Your generous offering for our attendance at a continental meeting has been a most worthy consideration. It would be most delightful to attend. I must request the presence of two others, for the sake of security and comfort. If this proves acceptable, I wish to make my presence at this affair known. I look forward, most sincerely, to meeting with you and discussing the affairs of Africa. May it be a prosperous day for us all.

Regards,
King Andrianary Razoarimihaja

As the drive commenced, the Imperator began to plot. He had many times before, however this time he wanted to know exactly what the president was thinking. The Imperator's eyes glowed red and he began to read the presidents thoughts.
"Now, Mr. President what do I owe this meeting to? What is it that you must discuss with me that is so important to?"

After the question was asked the president could hear a deep and booming voice in his head You may not lie to this man, he can help you latin with a great many things

"Well, I just wanted to get to know our new neighbour. Speaking of which, we have another new neighbour now called Stone ira! I wish to discuss the border situation with the Imperium; if there's anything else you wish to discuss, that would be fine."

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.

You don't seem like the kind of country that would have the death penalty. In fact, just don't have the death penalty anyway. What if the wrong person is executed? Do you want to take away people's right to live?

Roavin wrote:Gimme some of that fancy stuff. TSP Prime Minister pays good money. What's the drama llama to credit conversion rate again?

You can barely say anymore, y'all have got an unstable currency since you decided to share it with Lazarus. Best estimate is 1 drama llama to 0.65 credits. So a good rum at 125 credits will be about 206.25 drama llamas, prime minister.
