Varanius?

Well ignoring a request not to multiple post gets you a free trip to the Rejected Realms.

TODAY IN THE WEST

In the setting sun,
Each tree bud is clinging fast
To drying raindrops.
- Richard Wright

You got it: it's Haikuesday! Fittingly, it is also Online Learning Day so I encourage you to learn about the magnificent, snarky, simple form of haiku and how to get the most out of haiku in English.

  • https://www.thehaikufoundation.org/edwall/higginson_guidelines_for_writing_haiku.pdf - William Higginson's guidelines for haiku

  • https://www.ahapoetry.com/haiartjr.htm - Jane Reichhold's overview of various techniques

  • http://www.haikusyllablecounter.com/

It is also IT Professionals Day! Thank you to IT specialists everywhere for keeping things up to code. I'm only computer savvy on a basic level (i.e., turning things off and on again, Googling to troubleshoot), so I appreciate what IT folks can do with hardware, software, malware, etc.

I'll conclude with a haiku of my own:

learning the culture
of RMB posts makes for
well-grounded members

to be successful
in a satirical sim:
read the fine details

the ROs all pledge:
to purge fascists, eat funyons,
and to clear the air

Late summer sunshine
Warms the heart before the start
Of the shorter days.

Cro Mag brews fresh pot
of that West Pacific Blend
and drinks the coffee

Data for days from
General Social Survey
My work is cut out.

hello

Using paper and
Scissors to make some patterns.
My work is cut out. 😀

The Rejected Realms (TRR) is the region where any nations ejected from their former regions go to. Avoiding a trip to TRR is simple, just follow our regional rules and you're safe.

What is NationStates?

NationStates (NS) is a nation simulation game where we, the players, run nations and band together in regions to have a good time.

First and foremost, there is your individual nation. This is what you see with when you login to NS. You have the authority to govern it as you see fit by answering issues, which change your laws, statistics, and rankings. These can be found using the different symbol tabs on your nation page.

You can also join the World Assembly, get to know the people of TWP, apply for regional citizenship, and join the regional government, which you'll read about in the next few sections.

Regions and the World Assembly

Every nation is a part of a region, and like you, they start out in one of the five Pacific regions. Most regions have their own systems of government that have been created by the players who live there. Each region is headed by a Delegate, the nation with the most World Assembly endorsements.

The World Assembly (WA) is similar to the United Nations in the real world. In this body, resolutions and laws are passed that all WA member nations must abide by. Please join the World Assembly to help secure your new home and raise its influence on the world stage!

Once you have joined the WA, you may vote on proposals in the General Assembly (GA) and Security Council (SC), and endorse other TWP nations. Please note that you are only allowed to have one nation in WA.

As mentioned earlier, the nation with the most endorsements in a region is the Delegate, gaining executive power in the region. For those reasons, it's extremely important to join the WA and endorse our Delegate Overthinkers & the Guardians.

In order to endorse a nation after you join the WA, find their page and then scroll to the bottom, where there will be a button to endorse.

If you have any further questions about NationStates you can send a telegram to our current Delegate, Overthinkers. She’s a great person and will kindly help with and questions or concerns you may have!

All about The West Pacific!

Here in The West Pacific, we use a meritocratic system of government with the Delegate at its head. The more active you are in the region and the more capable you show yourself to be, the more opportunities you will get for responsibility and advancement.

Because of this, we are one of the most continuously innovative regions in the game. The regional government is made up of the Delegate, the Guardians, Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and staff. All positions are appointed by the Delegate based on merit except for the Speaker of the Hall and the Hall of Nations Guardian, who are elected by the members of the Hall of Nations.

Members of the Hall of Nations are citizens of The West Pacific. You can join by making an account on our forums, Linkfilling the citizenship form, and repeating the citizenship oath.

Your application will be processed as soon as possible. While you wait, it's a good idea to talk on the Regional Message Board and get to know our LinkDiscord community.

After being accepted as a citizen, you can join one of TWP's government ministries to get more involved!
