Please don't post in all caps, that is generally regarded as shouting and frowned upon here. We have an useful RMB guide so you can learn the other rules and keep them in mind while posting on our message board.

TODAY IN THE WEST
It's Thank You Thursday! What are you grateful for today? I'm grateful that several decades ago, my parents were able to leave their deteriorating home country and find different opportunities here to raise a family in safety.
Which leads to another point about today: In the USA it is Constitution and Citizenship Day. I'm grateful that I was born in this sometimes lovely, sometimes enraging, nation. I'm likewise grateful for the vague yet important Constitution that has been the basis for a whole history of fascinating judicial rulings. Check out all the live events available for this day: https://constitutioncenter.org/learn/civic-calendar/constitution-day-civic-holiday

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

Today I'm grateful for the decision spouse and I made a long time ago when we needed to relocate and had a choice of possible destinations. The balance between quality of life and cost of living is a tricky one, and we've hit a jackpot.
I'm also grateful for the unearned blessings that put us in the position to be able to choose, and kept us on our chosen path.
edit: do we think these now-flung players are trying to get the page 10k post?
