Only if he screws up again which would be a regretful way to end things. He has by all means the chance to get out of this completely fine, all it would take is for him to listen and follow the treaty
North Baba and North dancia
I will never understand people who take this so seriously
Whats even happening here????????
to be honest I'm using this as a learning experience because if I don't it won't be pretty for me

Amnestris violated a treaty and Friendly Friently had to intervene.
Goddamnit Amnestris, come on man.

That's truly disappointing

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.

"For your first steps in the Region you should join The World Assembly then become a Keeper of the North.
~ Go to your nation's settings, and make sure you have provided a valid email.
~ Go to the World Assembly page and click on ""Apply to Join"" at the top.
~ Check the email address you provided for a confirmation email from NationStates, and click the link included in the email. If you don't see the email, make sure to check any spam folders.
You have been in NationStates (NS) for a while now. You have answered issues, written telegrams, posted on the Regional Message Board. You may be wondering what else there is to do. Have you considered joining the World Assembly (WA)? If not, you definitely should.
Joining the WA is one of the best ways to improve your game experience and increase your nation's power. This is more true in The North Pacific (TNP) than in anywhere else - it is no coincidence we have way more WA nations than any other region. We hope that the material below will convince you to become a member.
If you are already a WA nation in TNP, you should take a look here, here, and here to find out about exciting ways to use your WA membership.
What does joining the World Assembly enable me to do?
Below are some of the things you can do as a WA nation.
Cool, but is that all? You promised me power!
In most other regions, that would be all. But not in TNP. TNP has many unique characteristics that make it the best region for your WA nation to be in. Here is why.
forum polls our WA Ministry holds for each resolution. These polls determine how our Delegate Kaschovia uses the regional vote. This is by far the largest vote in all of NationStates, and one of the main deciding factors for the fate of proposals at vote. And by participating in our forum votes, you get to directly influence it yourself - think of it like having 1000+ WA votes! Moreover, our forum votes feature analysis of the resolutions by some of the world's foremost WA experts, as well as discussion among all - including, of course, you. Therefore, you can be certain that you will always have the best information possible at your disposal while deciding how to use all your voting power.I am already a WA member with another nation. The more the merrier?
No, hold on! NationStates rules allow you to only have one nation in the World Assembly. As tempting as it is to have more, it is a really bad idea. On top of being dishonest and unfair towards other players, you run the risk of NationStates moderators finding out and deleting your nations, or even permanently banning you from the World Assembly and the game itself. And no matter how well you may try to hide it, the mods will find out eventually. If your WA nation is already in TNP, then you are pretty much done with this dispatch - but you should take a look at this one, this other one, and this third one.
But what if my WA nation is not in The North Pacific?
You should consider moving that nation in TNP - we welcome all nations! Hopefully all the above have already convinced you that TNP is the best region for WA nations to be in. And if you need more reasons to move here, TNP is a great region all around - definitely the place to be in NationStates.
I gain a lot, but what does The North Pacific gain by having my WA nation?
More WA nations in the region means more endorsements for our WA Delegate Kaschovia. This in turn means a stronger regional vote in the World Assembly, and therefore increased influence for TNP internationally - you can read more about this here.. Furthermore, having more WA nations makes our community more secure and stable - you can read more about this here. As you can see, by being a WA nation in TNP, you directly make our region stronger and safer. Thanks!
Are there other ways to take advantage of my WA membership?
WA membership also enables you to take part in military gameplay. Yes, NS does in fact have regional militaries and wars, though maybe not in the way you would expect. You can learn all about this exciting aspect of the game by joining our own regional military, the North Pacific Army (NPA). The NPA is one of the strongest and most active militaries in the game, with a tradition of more than a decade in protecting TNP, our allies, and our interests abroad. You can become part of this tradition, and start a military career full of exciting operations, medals and ribbons, and promotions all the way up to General. Keep in mind, however, that by being a member of the NPA you will be required to frequently switch your WA membership to other nations you own, which most likely will be outside of TNP.

A Madruejian Opium Poppy
Organic Items
While agriculture might seem almost impossible in a nation primarily made of desert, Madrueji nonetheless manages to produce a large number of agricultural goods. Advanced irrigation techniques, coupled with the frequent use of canals allows Madruejian farmers to irrigate large swaths of otherwise unusable land. Rivers and deltas that dot Madrueji are rich in silt, and when they flood, they transform the desert wastes into productive farmland.
The most lucrative organic items grown in Madrueji are cotton and silk, generating vast revenue for those who are able to control such an important trade. Other important agricultural and organic products include yucca, cedar and other sturdy trees, woolen and golden textiles, dyes and organic resins, coffee beans, woven carpets and rugs, hides and leather, fish and pearls, salt, and certain spices only found in Madrueji. Alcohol, in all its forms, also makes up a sizeable amount of Madruejian exports.
Madrueji is also heavily invested in the drug trade, and tobacco leaves, opium poppies and cannabis plants dot the landscape, often providing a humble farmer with a far greater amount of income than if he grew traditional crops. Of course, the state tries to maintain as much of a monopoly on this trade as possible and doesn't take too well to any kind of competition. While no official laws exist to prevent farmers from growing this crop, rumor has it that the state will go to great lengths to ensure any independent grower fails in their endeavors.
Inorganic Items
What is more expected of Madrueji is its vast material and mineral wealth. From the most common of metals to the rarest of gemstones, Madrueji is a literal goldmine, with much of her treasures buried far beneath the ground. Madruejian miners work around the clock to free such valuable items from the depths below, though none seem to have as much success as the Desert Dwarves have.
Officially, all rare gemstones are property of the Shah, but the reality is a bit different. The Desert Dwarves, for example, are only required to surrender a relatively small portion of what they find to the Shah, and average workers and miners will often "pocket" what they find instead of selling their gains to official brokers. These gems go for far more on the black market, even if it is a much riskier proposition.
With all the metal in Madrueji being so abundant, sometimes more than wood, artisans and craftsmen can devote their time to creating all sorts of metallic wonders, such as with the automata of Madrueji. The Shah is always in need of weapons and armor, so much of the metal also go toward this purpose. Gems and other rare stones are likewise used for a variety of different things, some magical in nature, others far more mundane. Nonetheless, some worry that the rate of mining that occurs in Madrueji is depleting its resource far faster than they can be found. Only time will tell if such fears are warranted, for the Madruejian Economy could not survive without the vast amount of metal and gemstones that are found within the country's borders.
In addition to precious stones and metal, Madrueji also has a large quantity of oil within its borders, although such a substance is used mainly in the production of incendiary weapons or as a light source.
A silver Dirham
Coinage
Madruejian coins come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and material compositions. Here is just some of the various coins found throughout the nation:
-Circular coins: these include the copper Fals coin, the silver Dirham coin and the gold Dinar coin. They are all circular in shape and are supposed to have a specific weight to them so that all coins hold the same value, although in practice this is often not the case. Many iterations of these coins have been struck throughout the history of Madrueji.
-Knife coins: knife coins take the shape of everyday utility knives. Legend has it that a military commander who was low on coin authorized his coin-stricken troops to barter with their knives in order to secure supplies from villagers. While no one knows of the legend is true, these coins are surprisingly popular within Madrueji, and are also made of copper, silver, and gold. Because they are larger than circular coins, they tend to hold more value and are surprisingly popular in Madrueji.
-Spade coins: spade coins, or shovel coins, are coins that represent farming instruments. Farming is fairly widespread in Madrueji but is nevertheless still rather difficult to achieve in many places. Thus, farming instruments often took on a great amount of practical and symbolic worth and transitioned from tools into actual coins. These coins fall somewhere in between circular coins and knife coins in worth.
-Tyger Tongue coins: Tyger Tongue coins are used exclusively by the elite of Madrueji, and are only made in denominations of silver and gold, never copper. They bear a passing resemblance to the tongues of the aforementioned creatures. Because of their elite association, these coins are often worth far more than their face value or material content.
Suggestions please!
Amnestris, your basically a liability since your associated with breaking treaties.
oh cool i did that as well a couple minutes ago
