Nope. How to do it?

Slavic united nations wrote:Nope. How to do it?

Oh, ask Roendavar by a telegram, press telegram and put Roendavar in, and say I want a spot on the map and please link it. Then, go to your flag and press factbook and write about your country there.

In fact, it's Vancouvia you should telegram. Also please read this information before you do so :

Map Rules

The map is key to developing relationships between our nations and engaging in role-play. As it has limited space, it is therefore reserved for nations who actively engage in RP and new nations (who have a fair probability of engaging in RP in the future). Please do not request a map spot unless you plan on being active for a long time.

For new nations in the region, you must do ALL of the following to receive a map spot:

1. Have a realistic nation name and use that name to role-play with. Do not use the name of a real-life country or something extremely similar to it.
2. Have at least one factbook about your nation that proves you are going to actively engage and develop your nation in-character.
3. Post at least once anywhere on the NationStates forums. This means anywhere across the site where you are allowed to post. However, avoid posting in threads that TWI has made that are marked (IC). These are for those already on the map only.
3. Have been active. For example, if you send us the request on Monday, stop logging in after Tuesday, and we check the request on Saturday, we will not add you, because it appears you are no longer active.
4. The nation which you apply to join the map with should be a member of the World Assembly.
5. Send Ainslie a telegram that answers the following questions:

Standard Application for Map Spot

  • Nation name:

  • How did you find the region/why did you choose The Western Isles:

  • How long have you been active on NationStates:

  • Is this nation a puppet or side project:

  • If you have ANY other accounts on nationstates.net other than this one, please list them here:

  • Do you plan on being active (participating in regional role-play)? Are there any particular interests you have?

  • Have you read and understood our introductory dispatch, "A Welcome and Introduction Dispatch for New Nations":

  • Have you read, understood, and agree to the map rules located in the regional rules dispatch:

  • Where exactly do you want to be on the map (describe the location in relation to other nations' locations):

  • If that spot becomes no longer available, what is your second choice for location:



In order to stay on the map, you must post on any regional in-character role-play thread at least once a month AND you must also do at least one of the following every ten days or less:

1. Publish or significantly and clearly add to a factbook or dispatch about your nation.
2. Post on any regional role-play thread (including but not limited to the news, tweets, citizens, or League threads).


If you're going to be on an extended vacation or unavoidable absence, telegram the current Secretary of Role-Play (Roendavar), Aizcona and Ainslie and they will likely hold your spot for you if you have shown in the past to be an active member.

No puppets. No nation on the map may serve in any capacity in any foreign region's government.

All players must use a single nation name for all of the region's affairs. Creating and using a new nation to RP as a territory or province is heavily discouraged.

See also additional rules for specific instances: page=dispatch/id=426501

In General

1. Treat others how you want to be treated.
2. Be friendly, welcoming, and supportive of everyone, but more so to the new nations of the region.
3. Don't sabotage, harass, or annoy anyone, in the region or elsewhere.
4. Don't engage in one-sided role-playing, for example by invading a nation that does not want to be invaded.
5. Keep your military strength conservatively realistic.
6. Everyone is equal! Elitism isn't welcome here.
7. Alts/puppet accounts cannot vote. If caught voting, you face expulsion from the region.
8. Follow the NationStates rules.

RMB Rules

The RMB is used for:

1. Communicating with the region as a whole, for announcements either on personal matters or about your nation.
2. Welcoming new nations.
3. General conversation about news or other non-controversial topics.
4. Advice on national issues.
5. Help on anything concerning NationStates itself.
6. Campaigning, once an election poll has gone up.
7. Advertising a regional news article or paper, only once per 12 hours.

The RMB is NOT used for:

1. One-on-one conversations. These should occur through telegram.
2. Role-playing events. These will occur in threads on the NationStates forums that will be linked to on the regional world factbook entry. This is so they do not get lost in a sea of other messages on the regional message board.
3. Controversial discussion. These should occur in public threads on the forums.
4. Spam, inside jokes, troll language, memes, etc. Each message should be at least a full sentence and be either helpful, informative, or evoke conversation.
5. Non-English conversation. Use English.
6. Incredibly long posts, particularly those copy-pasted from something else.

Telegram Rules

1. No regional telegrams can be sent out by non-officers, for any reason, including to campaign
2. Officers can only send out regional telegrams if absolutely necessary, such as in order to conduct their duties or conduct elections
3. Residents may, of course, still telegram any other resident privately for any reason, including to campaign

Breaking the Rules

Upon violating the rules, the following events are likely to happen:

1. Suppression of RMB posts
2. Telegram/post asking to stop
3. Kick from the region
4. Ban from the region

These events may occur in a different order depending on the severity of the offense(s). The telegram/post may come from any nation; if someone warns you that you are breaking the rules, that counts as a warning.

Well I asked Roendavar so that's what I told. Also, that doesn't show the map.

Trigel wrote:Well I asked Roendavar so that's what I told

You can of course ask any member of the Government but the proper way to do things is as mentioned in the Welcome and the Regional Rules dispatches; all links can be found on the main page of The Western Isles under ~Quick Links~ and in the Dispatches directly below the Government.

Slavic united nations wrote:What do you mean? and why is that weird?

I find it weird that someone who almost certainly lost relatives to fascism would advocate for it in a nation that was ravaged by it.

I made the comparison to Balnik because he used to call himself a fascist, though he’s from Canada, a place you wouldn’t expect people to pick up on it. Now he’s just a nationalistic separatist and given he’s from Alberta, this is somewhat expected.

Trigel wrote:Have you claimed a spot on the RP map?

FYI, all map claim requests go straight to Vancouvia, if there’s a matter of population or GDP caps, then contact the Secretary of Roleplay.

Hello! I just formed a new nation a couple of minutes ago, so hi! I'm from the good 'ol USA, (it's not good) and this nation is supposed to be a parody of IRL China.
P.S. Do not ask me to join the World Assembly, I'm not interested in it.

Also, just so you know I'm a little bit more capitalist than IRL China, to the point where I have almost no state-owned industry.

You do realize that the Polish Socialist Party under President Moscicki and Marshal Ryder-Smigly was a fascist government that invaded Lithuania and was part of the coalition with Nazi Germany that carved up Czechoslovakia.

Wellsia wrote:You do realize that the Polish Socialist Party under President Moscicki and Marshal Ryder-Smigly was a fascist government that invaded Lithuania and was part of the coalition with Nazi Germany that carved up Czechoslovakia.

I figured, after the first post, that there was some kind of a path for Polish Fascism to be prevalent given the post-war socialist government, and remembering that Poland at the moment has a very strong right wing. I stand by my original statement though, it's still weird. It would sort of be like if I were to join the Klan growing up in a post-Black Panther state.

True, you would think after 6 years under Nazi rule and then 50 years under Communist rule, extremism would be missing from the Polish psychic. Of course people have short memories.

Today's issue:

After the Conglomerated Einnstadian Arms Syndicate announced yet another setback in the development of a promised new fighter jet, the Hell-Eastern Imperial Eagle 3000, the Ministry of Defense is considering the previously unthinkable: importing from overseas.
