Ah, time to ^>vvv again.

Yay! Back online!

Hello there, Galicia Lodomeria, United Montes, Sortronne, Octre!

Welcome to the Pacific! There are a lot of ways to enjoy NationStates, and the Pacific caters to all of them. To get started in the Pacific, it's important that you complete the below steps to fully enjoy your experience here in the Pacific and the New Pacific Order as either a new NationStates player, newcomer to the Pacific, or as a returning NationStates player.

  • First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.

    What is the World Assembly and why should I join it?

    The World Assembly, often abbreviated as "WA", is the NationStates equivalent of the real-world United Nations.

    • Vote on game-wide legislation: World Assembly member nations are able to vote on resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly and Security Council, thus allowing you to participate in determining game-wide legislation.

    • Endorse other nations: WA nations may endorse (similar to social media "likes") other nations in the same region as them.

    • Write WA resolutions: WA nations with 2 (two) or more endorsements may submit WA resolutions of their own for the entire game to vote on.

    • Bolster the strength of your region: The more endorsements our delegate, East Durthang, has, the larger the weighted delegate vote in the World Assembly is, granting us more influence over international WA affairs. Furthermore, the more endorsements our leadership holds, the more difficult it is for hostile forces to seek to invade or disrupt the stability of our home.

    • Become a Pacifican Vanguard: Nations who endorse our delegate receive the title Pacifican Vanguard, are featured on this list, and are eligible for exclusive rewards, such as custom nation banners.

    Joining the World Assembly is the easiest step you can take in order to participate more in NationStates!

    How do I join the World Assembly?

    Follow the following five simple steps to get started in the World Assembly. If you need help, click on the spoiler sections to reveal screenshots of each step.

    1. Visit: page=un

    2. Click "Apply to Join". You must have an email registered with your account to access this feature.

    3. Go to your affiliated email and click the link provided. If you cannot find it, check your spam folder.



    4. You will be directed to a page where confirmation is required. Click the confirmation button on the page.

    5. When you are in the World Assembly, visit East Durthang's page and find the "Endorse East Durthang" button. Click this. Once that is done, you will have successfully endorsed your Delegate!

    -
    • Please note that the game only allows you to have one nation as a World Assembly member at any given time! NationStates moderation may remove and/or ban your nations from the World Assembly and/or the game for violating this rule.
    • If, for roleplaying reasons, you do not wish to join the World Assembly make a separate nation to use as your World Assembly nation.

  • Once you've joined the World Assembly, you can endorse any nation that is also in the World Assembly. It is extremely important for the security of the region that you make sure to endorse our World Assembly Delegate East Durthang.

  • Now that you've endorsed our World Assembly Delegate, you can join our forums and then apply for citizenship in the New Pacific Order. At most, the process will take a few days, and then after that - you're officially a citizen of the New Pacific Order.

    What is Citizenship?

    As a part of the Pacific, you and every other Pacifican have the right to apply for NPO citizenship, and gain access to greater participation within the diverse activities and community of the region.

    Benefits of Becoming a Citizen

    • This will present the opportunity to choose one or more specializations in the region's government and gain access to more engaging aspects of the region and what it has to offer.

    • You will gain access to the internal proceedings of the New Pacific Order and membership in the Body Republic, which allows you to propose changes or new ideas that may aid in the regional direction in the future.

    • Joining the forum leads to the path to the forumside roleplay community as well as the gameside roleplay community.

    • Becoming a Citizen grants you to access our private Discord channels.

    • Citizenship is the first step to becoming an important figure in the region and being able to dictate policy as well as help lead other Pacificans.

    How do I Apply for Citizenship?

    1. LinkRegister an account on the forum. You will need to click the verification link emailed to the address you signed up with.

    2. Go to LinkAccount Settings -> Edit Profile. Enter your nation name and link then press the 'Save' button.

    3. Review our 'LinkCitizenship Application Instructions'. You can do this by clicking the link or by visiting Recipient Desk -> NationStates Applications -> Citizenship Application Instructions.

    4. LinkCreate a new topic in the NationStates Applications forum and fill out the questionnaire from the Citizenship Application Instructions.

    5. Check your application topic periodically and answer the questions asked by our admissions staff.

  • The last thing that you need to do to get started is to join our Discord server. It allows you to communicate with all the members of the New Pacific Order, stretching across 3 main branches and other games as well. Since you're a citizen, you'll also get access to the special citizens-only channel too!

    What is Discord?

    Having probably heard about New Pacific Order's Discord server, either from your fellow Pacificans or from simply reading the regional page or dispatches, you might be wondering how to join it. Or not, if you are already a proficient Discord user, simply skip every step until the one where the server link is posted.

    Now, for those unaware, LinkDiscord is a communication app available in browser, PC app or mobile format that allows its users to form large organized communities. These communities are called servers, in most cases, and each one has its own specific organization and set of rules and moderators. The intent of this dispatch is to provide an initial introduction to how to function with Discord and, more particularly, the NPO's server.

    Benefits of Joining Discord

    • The ability to become fully integrated with all opportunities available in The Pacific and make the most out of your citizenship is attained through joining the most active aspect of the region.

    • A chance to help determine the regional direction for the World Assembly votes is also available if you so wish to help dictate our decision for specific proposals, including your own.

    • Discord gives you an easier route to meeting the extant regional leadership, discussing regional affairs, and is necessary for people who aspire to become involved in our government.

    • Inclusion in the full regional experience and introduction to the wider community of the New Pacific Order is available through Discord membership.

    Getting Started with Discord

    The first step would be to make an account in Discord itself. While not necessary to utilize server it is usually recommended due to ease of reusability and practicality. An account is absolutely free and simply unlocks a lot of features that a guest user might not have. Simply go to Linkhttps://discord.com and register an account, preferably with a username that won't breach any NPO rules, and this step should be done. You'll inevitably be prompted to confirm your email, so simply check your inbox.

    With your account registered you now have a few options. You can choose to do one of them, or even all of them. You can open Discord on your browser, download and install the application or download the mobile app. Any of them will work for the purposes of this tutorial, though the PC app is more flexible in terms of functionality (use of one platform does not exclude the use of others).

    LinkClick here to join the NPO Discord server. It is as simple as that after every previous step has been accomplished. Click it and after a prompt to join the server you will be in. Now comes the more specific part.

    Upon joining the server, if you have already applied for citizenship and been accepted (if not, check this dispatch for a guide on how to do it) Linkpost here to request that your account be added to private channels.

    If you have any more questions pertaining to the use of Discord itself, feel free to ask the people within the server for help. We hope your experience within the community is fun and fruitful.

Welcome to the Pacific, the oldest region on NationStates and home of the New Pacific Order for the past 20 years. NationStates can be overwhelming when you first begin (or if you're just coming back!), with a lot of potential ways to play the game and have fun. However, we are more than happy to help you with any queries you might have regarding NationStates and the Pacific. To get started, make sure to read the below list.

  • First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.

Once you've checked everything off the list, you're free to enjoy your time in NationStates as a part of the wider New Pacific Order community. If you want to help out with what we do around here, you can consider Getting Involved - but it is not necessary for having a great time here in the Pacific. If you're not new to NationStates but new to the Pacific, do make sure to still follow the instructions; it helps out a ton!

Not exclusively fighting to the death in the cesspit that the bot front has been? Disappointing.

Nice to see everybody.

These are some of the various fun facts and observations I made over our ten day absence.

Fun Fact: There was a period between 75AD and 1903 AD where the Winter Solstice never occurred on the 23rd.
Before 75 between 71AD and 173BC there was a 243 period where 144 of the winter solstices fell on the 23rd. (V.)

Ohhh so I stare at the sun for seven years straight and nobody bats an eye but when it's the solar eclipse everyone suddenly starts to worry? Double standards...

99% of city planners quit one lane before fixing traffic.

It occurs to me that I have never read one of Mr. Strawberry's books in my nearly three years on the platform. I know him more as a web developer in a similar vein
to Neal Agarwal, creator of Neal.Fun.

Noticed I have often struggled with maintaining a steady pace between my personal writing projects (one being set an alternate Russian Civil war and the other being set
during China in the early 1300s) and my NS writing projects (Dushina as a whole).
→ I realize that it is literally impossible to work on everything at once without quality waning. Got to pick your battles.

I've thought about adapting Dushina into a book but significant changes would need to be made and lore developed. As always, TG me if you have any suggestions.

Due to the NS outage, I posted on the NPO Discord for the first time in maybe a year. I almost entirely forgot that I was a member of the Outreach department.
I've attempted to be welcoming and explain things to the newcomers, however I would have done this regardless of my part in the Outreach Department.

Historical Leaders of Dushina may be out soon, thus far I am through the year 1625. Just a few thousand years left to go.
- 4/16/24 Through 1525. That's where I'm going to stop as that is the true start of Spain's colonial ventures in what is now Dushina.

1000 Words of what is tentatively known as "The Sleeping Kitten", may change the name and use it for something more useful like Microsoft did with the Pixelsense;
using its name for a far more successful product. (If you are wondering, the name was the "Microsoft Surface '' before they changed it.)

I find writing outside to be significantly easier than writing inside. Just an observation.

Nature has the amazing ability to unleash the most torrential of downpours when you are walking and make it sunny when you go inside.

New National Anthem - Need to do.

Watched a video on national flags, might make a civil flag, naval flag ect. May even be done when I post this.

Possible plot about discovery of diamond coming up? "The Diamond Dilemma" is what I may call it.

Really gotta back up my NS stuff. Most of it floats around in notepads or perhaps a sentence or two in google docs.

Fun Fact: The reason it is known as "Stockholm Syndrome" is because of the high rents present throughout Stockholm, Sweden.
Despite the high rents, the natural beauty and opportunities kept people there. (F.)

Just tried “Maximum Barry”, a new energy drink. Enjoyed it.

Something about stealing the flag off the parliament building? Maybe that would be interesting.

Where is the new navy in America? Why are we just stuck with the old navy?

I'm totally lost in Minecraft. I don't get it anymore.

More Space. More Space

Perhaps a version of “Drunken Sailor” could be written as the Dushinan national anthem. Obviously just to the tune of it, replacing “what would you do with a drunken sailor” to something like “drunken soldier” and make it match the early 1900s theme.

Pcs are my favorite console.

Extremely irritated that whenever I look up something like “Aircraft Carrier” I inevitably see AI generated images. I understand that AI is highly useful and brings the paintbrush into the hands of anyone but it continues to annoy me that they don’t get any sort of permission from the actual artists or photographers behind the images. Just to be clear, I have nothing against using AI art as a concept (I have used it a couple times myself as it is a useful tool) but it can often be annoying.

Various things on NS are varying levels of done. A few naval things, Dushinan Stocks, Dushian Rulers and a new national anthem are in progress.

Fluff’s official royal title perhaps.

Now that NS is back, I don't know what I meant to do.

I've lost all memory of my roleplays, characters (outside of AK and SI), and whatever I had scheduled that was so important to post on the day of the shutdown.

"For your consideration, 500 KG."

Following new legislation in Maxifaer, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography.

Legally, the internet is practically untouchable by state law. It’s essentially the Wild West of Z’verto. If there must be a law against the internet, it will affect the entire continent, and if it had to affect the entire continent, then that means it was really bad whatever we’re banning.
