The Osynstric Telegraph - Issue 1
The vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Richard Lansbury of the Labour Party has failed. Lansbury's coalition in the Houses of Parliament and the Osynstric Senate shall remain.

The Prime Minister won "as liberals appeared to narrowly back the Prime Minister over prospects of right-wing gains in a snap election". Conservative Party Leader and Leader of the Opposition Sir George Woodsburn has called for cross-party talks and Opposition places in the Cabinet.

We haven’t started any fighting yet, but I was uninspired in my last post so I just officially declared war and pulled back troops from the border.

SR RP - Osynstric Telegraph, Issue 2

King Robert III, now in his 80s, has fallen ill with pneumonia.
Famous for fighting in the Great War of the North, and for dismissing the National Party from Parliament in the 1970s and 1990s for crimes against the nation, he has fallen ill with pneumonia. The country awaits news on his condition, as the Royal House has kept this very private and released the very barebones of details. This has given many news outlets the jurisdiction to announce the potential death of the King - but we will not.
Prime Minister Richard Lansbury has come out to speak of the "great services that the King has given to our nation, and the debt that we owe to him that will last for centuries", and the Leader of the Opposition has spoken of "the greater, more immediate need for our Kingdom to remain united and strong against the issues of this potentially volatile world".
The King was reportedly seen at 3:40pm by several people, being transported to a hospital and put on a ventilator. The hospital in question has refused to comment upon this issue, but it is assumed that the King's condition is probably more serious and life-threatening than first assumed by much of the public. His reported sighting also seems to answer two things - no, he is not dead; but yes, he is in danger.
The Osynstric sterling crashed 0.5% against other currencies today, upon news of the declining health of the King and the vote of no confidence - although it has rallied against its losses due to the PM's victory - and the Prime Minister has announced that he will be instituting an emergency budget reform to tackle a potentially growing economic issue.

"We must understand that our economy's survival is at risk. Under increased pressure from the Opposition, and from the health of the King, it has dampened. We, as a government, must unite to save a potential crisis and I am sure that the Leader of the Opposition and the Deputy Prime Minister will join with me in a cross-party conference later today to solve this imminent issue."

Hello, and for the new one welcome here!

Feel free to ask anything if you need any help :)
Here's some useful information:

The North Pacific Handbook

Welcome! · Why you should be in TNP · Ways to get involved · WA Development Program · RolePlay · Trading Cards

Welcome to The North Pacific!
NationStates' largest democracy

Whether you are new or experienced, this handbook will provide you with answers to all of your questions. If you have other unanswered questions, feel free to ask Delegate Simone Republic, Minister of Home Affairs The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg, or any of the Gameside Advocates and Mentors. They will be glad to help! Additionally, we are always looking for ways to improve this handbook, so let us know if you think something should be added or changed.

Table of Contents

First Steps

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: explaining the pros of staying in our large region.
Endorse the Delegate, Vice Delegate and the Security Council: Endorsing the Delegate, Vice Delegate and all members of the Security Council is important for safeguarding our region against external threats and ensuring the continuation of our constitutional government.
Join the regional forum: The forum is where most government and roleplay activities take place. Registering an account is very easy.
Join our Discord: Our Discord server is where our members hang out and chat about the game and real life subjects.
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.

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.

Join the Executive Staff: The equivalent of TNP's Civil Service, the Executive Staff is a group of residents and citizens that are employed to assist one or more of the Ministries of the Executive Government. It is ideal both for new residents who want to gain experience in how the government operates, and for experienced citizens who are looking to contribute to the region through the Executive.
Enlist in the North Pacific Army: The North Pacific Army (NPA) is our regional military force. The NPA defends the region, our allies, and serves abroad helping our friends and fighting our enemies.
Enlist in the Militia: The North Pacific Army Militia is for people who wish to contribute to the North Pacific Army but for whatever reason, likely because they cannot/do not want to have a forum or Discord account, cannot be members of the regular Army in the Auxiliary or Special Forces branches.
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.

Laws and Government

This section contains all the relevant laws, guidelines, and policies of TNP's Government.

Government index: Get to know your government by using this list of all government officials in TNP. If you have questions or suggestions about any aspect of the regional governance, feel free to send a telegram to the corresponding government official.
Law index: This is a compilation of all legal documents currently in force in TNP. This includes our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which form the basis of our government.
RMB Guidelines: Posting on the regional message board (RMB) is a great way to socialize and get to know other TNP nations. Just make sure to follow these guidelines.
Embassy policy: If you are here as a diplomat from another region, please take a look at our policy for in-game and forum embassies.
Recruitment policy: If you are here to recruit for another region, please take a look at our policy on permissible and prohibited types of recruitment.

World Assembly Policy

For WA member-states, here is where you can find out about our WA vote recommendations and voting policy.

Information for WA Voters: Produced by the Ministry of WA Affairs, IFVs provide vote recommendations and analysis about all resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly or Security Council.
World Assembly voting policy: Look here to learn how TNP's Delegate casts the regional vote on World Assembly resolutions, and how you can help determine that vote.

Regional News and Publications

TNP publishes a number of regional publications, where news and reports are delivered to the public. You can follow them to stay up to speed with what's going on in TNP.

The Northern Lights: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, this is our regional newspaper. It includes both general news and op-ed articles about various aspects of TNP and NS.
The North Star: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, The North Star informs TNPers of current internal matters and government activities.
The Northern Notes: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, The Northern Notes delivers quick updates on regional happenings.
Northern Broadcasting Service: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, this is our very own regional radio station in which our broadcasters provide their insight into current events in TNP and Nationstates.
Regional Assembly Digest: Produced by the Speaker's Office, the digest focuses on news about the legislative and other business of the Regional Assembly.
The Vice Delegate's Weekly Update: Produced by the Vice Delegate, this weekly publication provides updates on the activities of the Security Council.

Regional Awards

TNP bestows certain awards to nations that are the most active in the World Assembly or regional conversations.

WADP Awards: Produced as part of the WADP, this monthly publication presents regional awards to nations that actively participate in the World Assembly.
Literary Awards: Produced by the Gameside Advocates, this monthly publication presents regional awards to nations that actively post on the regional RMB or publish dispatches.
