Before starting, please note that you can only have one nation participates in the World Assembly at a time! You can have as many nations as you like but you can only have a maximum of one nation in the World Assembly at any given time.

Step 1: Get an Email Account

In order to join the World Assembly, you need an email account. You can use any account from any service you prefer. We recommend you to use Gmail since it is reliable for NationStates-related purposes.

Step 2: Set Email Address for Your Nation

To set the email address of your email account for your nation, just click the Settings button with the gear icon at the top to open the setting page then scroll down, enter your email address in the E-mail box then click Update.

Step 3: Apply for the World Assembly

Go to the World Assembly page (You can go to this page from anywhere by clicking the World Assembly button on the left) then click the Apply to Join button.

Step 4: Be Admitted to the World Assembly

A few seconds after applying, NationStates will send you a confirmation email. Open this email then click the link in there.

A page will open, click the Confirm: Join World Assembly button.

You're done! Welcome to the World Assembly! If this is the first time you do this, NationStates will give you a banner to celebrate. You now have the power to vote on legislation in the two chambers of the World Assembly: the General Assembly and the Security Council as well as endorse nations (Look below to know how to endorse a nation).

To endorse a nation, just open the page of that nation then scroll down and click the Endorse <nation name> button!

Note:

• You need to be in the World Assembly in order to endorse a nation. Look above for the guide on how to join the World Assembly.

• You cannot endorse a nation that is not in the World Assembly and in the same region as you.
  

• The first nation you should endorse is the Delegate (Ebonhand).

• After that, endorse all member nations of the South Pacific Coral Guard: Aidenfieeld, Ebonhand, Land Without Shrimp, PenguinPies, Tepertopia.

• Finally, endorse any other nation. We have a list of nations that you can endorse below.
  

The more nations you endorse, the more endorsements other nations will give back to you and the higher the chance you will be ranked in the top 0.1% of NationStates for nations with highest endorsements and receive awards to commend your contribution to our region!

You can find nations to endorse in the following places:

• NationStates endorsement census.

• The list in this dispatch. (Please note that it can be outdated for up to 24 hours)

• The regional happening page.

• The Endorsements Received part below the page of nations that have lots of endorsements such as the Delegate and member nations of the Coral Guards. (View a list of nations with the most endorsements here)
  

Please note that there are up to 689 nations that you can endorse so you may want to check out the below question on how to quickly endorse a lot of nations.

To make the number of endorsements you will gain as high as possible, you can:

• Send a telegram to ask a nation for an endorsement. (Remember to endorse them first before doing this!)

• Keep your nation in the World Assembly as long as possible and continue to endorse nations. If you have nearly endorsed everyone (You can check that on our census), look at the regional happening page to find new nations that just joined the World Assembly or migrated to our region to endorse.
  

Your endorsement count must not be higher than a limit called the endorsement cap (Endocap for short).

The current endorsement cap is 370, you can also find the number on the World Factbook Entry of our region.

If you exceed the endorsement cap, a member nation of the Council on Regional Security will telegram you to tell you to do certain actions to bring down your endorsement count.

You can read more information about the Council on Regional Security here as well as the endorsement cap and what will happen if you exceed it here.
