Nationalist german empire wrote:The enormous Starship halted its advance and remained floating their for some time. The thousands of other smaller vessels formed up in groups around the much larger ship, like raindrops clinging to a storm cloud.

Within an instance the massive ship vanished from hindsight. Disappearing off all scanners and other equipment. A large portion of the fleet did the same, as if some sort of cloaking device was initiated.

“Sir, you’re not going to believe this,” one of the tech analysts said. “The entire fleet just disappeared.”

“Disappeared?” the Director asked.

“Yes sir, it’s possible they’ve cloaked themselves.”

“They managed to spot our reconnaissance droids?” the Director thought. “How the hell could a ship bat large even be cloaked, it would take an enormous amount of power.”

“What now sir?”

“Just keep an eye on where they disappeared and try to track their movements. They can’t jump without decloaking.” The fact that they didn’t want to be seen was the most concerning.

After Ares starships’ crashed as a company once they failed to turn profits, Admiral Messerschmidt bought the blueprints off of his brother and sold them to the government.

New Target?

The last location of the Fleet remained ominously still compared to only moments earlier. The thousands of cloaked Starships were all waiting for direct orders.

Within a chamber aboard one of the many vessels knelt a hooded figure. The holographic projection in front of him began to phase out when the chamber doors opened and In stepped a Fleet Admiral.

"Orders sir" He asked.

The hooded figure rose up from his kneeling position and turned to face the Fleet Admiral with a sinister smile. "it is time.."

In a flash the Fleet had jumped to the Ventus System, still cloaked.

Subject: Government Job Opening

It has come to the attention of the SIA that the position of Public Attorney is vacant following resignation of the office's previous holder. The DIA therefore is requesting applications for the position. The Office of the Public Attorney acts as the government-appointed defence attorney in criminal cases (at the request of the accused) and the prosecutor in state cases. In addition to such cases, the Office of the Public Attorney can assist anyone with legal guidance. The Law allows anyone to seek representation from the Public Attorney if they are charged with a criminal offence or wish to file a state claim. The Office highly recommends that anyone in those positions seek the advice of the Public Attorney before heading to court. The Office will offer aid to citizens willing to file state charges. This aid is by no means compulsory, and choosing to file independently will not affect the policy of the Office of the Public Attorney to act with the utmost integrity and regards for the Law.

Please DM the SIA via Discord of TG if interested.

A hearty welcome to both Heaterland and Harshire!

For both of you, feel free to take the next step and join us all on our Discord server, (https://discord.gg/cmeQqND) and Apply for Citizenship!

We compounded the following guide if you need some help on other things, and I hope you will both feel confident to telegram me or anyone else if you have any questions. We're glad to have you here!


Welcome to the New West Indies!

What is this place?

Our community is a dedicated group of roleplayers, government workers, lawmakers, comedy junkies, flag-makers, designers, and many more!

Founded on March 7th, 2018 by Achipel, the New West Indies (NWI) initially created a modern roleplay canon that has continued ever since. Nations began solely in the Caribbean area of the map, but as the community grew (and grow quickly it did), the roleplay became more complex with it, becoming more Post-Modern and spawning a variety of new adventures.

Vexillology (flag-making) is at the heart of the region. Experienced creators like Cymiopolis, New united carolinas, and Portinabia (among others) frequently show off their skills.

Government and lawmaking have recently begun to take hold, as many experienced members debate potential reforms and changes to regional institutions and affairs.

Members often discuss politics, memes, games, and other topics on our Regional Message Board (RMB) and especially Discord. Anyone who follows the rules and wants to have a good time in their area of interest is welcome here!


What should I do first?

Apply for Citizenship!


You should start your New West Indies experience by completing the Citizenship Application, which will allow you to experience roleplay, lawmaking, and other engaging activities! Once you fill it out completely, relevant authorities will inform you if it is approved.

Make sure to answer every question! To decide what RP claim you want (if desired), go to the Regional Map – make certain that what you want isn't already taken (is any color besides grey). If you are having trouble with the app, contact a regional officer.

Explore our Community!


Our Linkdiscord server is the best place to start – you can begin mingling with the citizenry and ask questions if you're confused. You can also introduce yourself on the RMB as well.

Our Constitution outlines our laws and values – every citizen should read it and be familiar with the rules of the Indies road.

Speaking of the RMB, getting your feet wet in roleplay is quite important if you want to participate. Whether you're a newer player or experienced roleplayer, it's beneficial to get your first post out there and introduce yourself in- and out-of-character.

Finally, you should consider accessing the following resources for knowledge and further assistance:

Regional Master Dispatch

| Where you can find links to every regional resource, including many described in this document

Glossary of Terms

| Are you confused by NationStates lingo or our region's terminology? This ought to help


How do I get involved?

Roleplay!


Roleplay (RP) is the main attraction for new and old members alike. Start by creating your nation's basic lore; where is it on the map? What are its socioeconomic challenges? What are its politics like? These questions and others will guide you through creating an overview dispatch (such as this one) if you are so inclined. Otherwise, begin diplomatically engaging and describing the issues your nation faces on the RMB, so everyone can start getting familiar.

Once you are settled into the canon, branch out! Create some personable characters, discuss IC legislation in the Union of Nations, make an alliance, or create your own business! If you are so inclined, and become familiar with our guidelines, you could even make your own roleplay for the region! The possibilities are truly at your leisure (barring something extraneous).

See below for further assistance.

Participate in the General Assembly!


Once you become a citizen, you are automatically a member of the NWI General Assembly (GA), our regional lawmaking body. As such, you have the opportunity to not only vote on and discuss legislation, but you can also propose your own! We have many experienced members that can assist in the process, especially for newer members. The best way to begin learning about the GA and discuss law is to join our Linkdiscord and go to the GA channel.

| Supreme NWI Law

Passed Resolutions

| A repository of all passed GA legislation

Resolution Templates

| How to design and code resolutions

Contribute to the Regional Government!


Our Executive Branch is made of the Secretary-General, the head of government, who every six months (once elected) appoints a cabinet of four Secretaries that make up the "Secretariat." These nations execute GA law, protect the region, and moderate certain regional affairs.

Once you become more familiar with our region, any citizen can run for office, whether that be the Secretary-General or General Assembly President! Additionally, you can be appointed to a Secretarial position or a lower role within one of the Executive departments.

Even if you do not want to work in government, it is your prerogative as a citizen to vote in elections, which increases representation and makes government work better for the people as a result.

Join the World Assembly!


Joining the world assembly not only provides many benefits to you, but also helps the region in numerous ways.

Once you've joined the world assembly, you should endorse the current delegate (Karteria), which allows the delegate to have more sway in World Assembly voting and further secures the region. You can also discuss current WA topics and legislation with other members of the NWI in our WA channel on Linkdiscord.

See "2.4 What is the World Assembly?" near the bottom of this document for instructions on how to attain WA membership.


What are issues?

Issues are the key to any initial NationStates experience. To access them, click the button in the top left corner of your page that says "issues." From there, you can answer the critical questions for your nation however you please.

Depending on how you answer issues, they will affect your nation's "stats" and potentially enact "policies." See the toolbar on your nation's page (underneath your motto) for more information about each effect.

Issues have no major bearing on regional roleplay, but they can give you ideas for how to formulate your nation in-character. Just answered an issue enacting euthanasia, or banning nuclear power? Why not do it in RP too!

If you don't want to answer issues, or you want to answer them more/less frequently, you can adjust the duration between each one in your nation's settings.


What is a dispatch?

Dispatches are canvases for nations to express anything they wish in a public setting. You can write, roleplay, campaign, design art, or anything in between – all through a simple dispatch.

Kelper 442

The still incognito Fleet emerged from another wormhole, this time in an unknown region of space known as Kepler 442. The thousands of Starships began deviding into smaller battlegroups and began blockading nearby planets.

The Flagship positioned itself in the center of the system surrounded by numerous smaller support vessels. Aboard the Command Bridge of the Flagship stood the hooded figure from the earlier chambers. The Fleet Admiral as well as two other Admirals were present, along with the usual crew operating their individual stations.

"Alright...Let's make our presence known." The hooded figure ordered.

The Fleet Admiral acknowledged and turned to relay the word to the proper station, who then sent the order to the entire Fleet. Moments later the thousands of Starships deactivated their cloaking systems and initiated Assualt Protocols. Shields and defensive measures were activated. Weapon systems were armed and ready for their next order.

Starfighters and other support crafts were deployed to fill the gaps of the blockading planets.

The communication device inbedded into Lysithea’s desk went off, and by the time she could tell it was a priority message. “Yes?” she answered.

“Chancellor, it’s the German Fleet...they’ve entered our territory.”

Lysithea didn’t need him to specify. “I understand... Contact the War Ministry, get every fleet we have available here right away. I want all citizens evacuated to the underground shelters.”

Around the city alarms rang out as police forces began escorting people to the underground shelters. The Defense Fleet began a defensive blockade around the planet as other fleets would soon begin arriving.

A moment of Silence

There was a long pause as the Ventus Defensive Fleet began taking up positions. The hooded figure continued to watch from the bridge, a smile on his face. “Well, it would appear we have their attention. He said aloud.

The surrounding Admirals watched intently, two of them laughing at how small the Defensive Fleet was. “Resistance is futile, they must know this.” One Admiral said.

“Now, now...Let us see what they are capable of.” The Hooded Figure responded. He then turned towards the Comm Station, “Open up all frequencies, but wait for word.”

NUBILA | Kapetyn System, Ventus Prime

All seemed clear on the Kapetyn Front following the Kunkengan retreat. The fallen clone troopers of the 8th Army have been replenished following a resupply shipment on from Antiope Minor and the Epsilon Fleet has finished repairing it's damaged vessels. It's stock of light fighters has also been replenished thats to the use of scrap Cymiopolitan, Ventuan and even Kunkengan parts recovered from the battle. With the war not officially over, but with no further orders, the Cymiopolitan Expeditionary Forces were on standby.

Grand Admiral Kanaris was in his quarters aboard the MSS Agios Georgios, a Damocles-class Assault Carrier, when he received an urgent message from the radio room just as he was about to uncork a bottle of wine. He rushed down to see what the commotion was all about:

GA : "What in the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph is going on here officer?"

RO : "Sir, we have received signals from Versaille Pact scouting satellites of a gargantuan hostile fleet lauching entering the Kelper 442 System."

GA :"The Kunkengans again? How many times do those ηλίθιοι have to take a beating before they get the hint?"

RO :"Sir, it's the NGE."

GA :"Γαμώ... Please tell me it's just another rogue admiral with a vendetta."

RO :"No dice sir. It's the real deal this time. That hostile fleet is huge."

GA :"Patch me through immediately to Ventuan High Command. We need to know the game plan of whether we wait here and defend the Kapetyn System or jump the fleet to Kepler 422."

High Command was in complete chaos. Despite the warnings and preparations, the mere size of this fleet was enough to take an entire system, let alone one planet. “Maybe that was the plan,” thought General Pellaeon, younger brother of the late Admiral Pellaeon. His thoughts were soon interrupted as one of his subordinates approached.

“General, sir, we’ve received communications from an Admiral Kanaris of the Cymiopolis Eighth Fleet. He’s gotten word of the situation and is asking whether to join us here or remain on Nubila?”

The Kunkengans had been beat there, and while it seemed unlikely they would attack again, it was still risky. Even so... “Tell the Admiral we’d appreciate the aid, and if they got anymore ships, the more the merrier.”

There was a long pause as the Ventus Defensive Fleet began taking up positions. The hooded figure continued to watch from the bridge, a smile on his face. “Well, it would appear we have their attention. He said aloud.

The surrounding Admirals watched intently, two of them laughing at how small the Defensive Fleet was. “Resistance is futile, they must know this.” One Admiral said.

“Now, now...Let us see what they are capable of.” The Hooded Figure responded. He then turned towards the Comm Station, “Open up all frequencies, but wait for word.”

“Look at the size of that fleet...” Commodore Quell said quietly. She looked to her superior, Admiral Shan, who managed to stare down the enemy fleet. If ships were capable of it, they’d probably flinch. That being said, despite her fierce state, her personality was anything but.

“Stand your ground, Commodore,” Shan replied. “Remember, despite the odds, our duty is to protect the capital at all costs.”

“I know,” Quell said, regaining her composure. “What do we do then?”

“They haven’t fired on us, so either they’re waiting for us to make the first move or they’re playing mind games with us. Either way, this gives us an advantage in hopes the other fleets will show up.”

“Will they even be enough?” Quell said sadly.

“I don’t know, I’d prefer to talk instead of causing bloodshed.” She paused as she closed her eyes for a moment. “Open a channel, Commodore.”

Quell pressed some buttons on her console. “Channel is open, Admiral.”

“This is Admiral Shan of the Szel Defense Fleet. Ships of Nationalist german empire, you are violating Ventuan Space and you should know reinforcements are on their way. Despite past conflicts, our nations have never been at odds. Why do you wish to invade our capital?”

Overview

    Current Time: May, 2042
    Average Tech Level: Modern Tech

Introduction and Origins

The 2020s brought chaos and uncertainty to the nations of the world. The combination of a global pandemic, eroding global supply chains, the Russo-Ukrainian War and a global recession brought the world to it's knees and led to the balkanization of global superpowers. Smaller nations weren't any luckier with military juntas making a comeback in an attempt to maintain stability through force. While Russia and China have slowly pieced themselves together by the 2040s, the once mighty American Empire has shattered along regional and socio-economic lines. While democracies are starting to see the line at the end of the tunnel, autocracies remain unchecked in the meanwhile until the West can renew its alliances.

A new world order is about to begin, and the new nations of the earth will seek to adapt and prosper, lest they perish into obscurity.

Below is a list of all possible events that could occur in the roleplaying world of the New West Indies. All of these events are determined by the Nwi roleplay committee. These events will effect the general direction of roleplay in some way, and we highly implore nations to keep them in mind when writing their roleplay posts.

Events are determined in one of two ways. The first way is through pre-established roleplay, which means that an event could be decided by a roleplay post written by a member of the New West Indies. If said post can garner a reaction from the international community, it will be announced as an event. How long the event lasts is determined by the nation(s) in question.

The second way is through the Roleplay Committee itself. Certain events that affect no specified nations will be announced at random (such as recessions) OR at a pre-designated time (such as seasonal events). If the committee decides an event must start within a particular nation, the Committee will ask that nation for permission. For example, the committee may ask a nation on a fault line to roleplay an Earthquake. If the nation agrees, it will be counted as an event, and if the nation disagrees, the event will not be counted.

As previously stated, events of this nature can occur at random or in specific time ranges.

PLEASE do not ask the committee for certain events to begin.

Time Frames

Description

Dry Season/ Drought Season

Regional (Time-Dependent)

  • N. Hemisphere: Oct.-March

  • S. Hemisphere: April-Sep.

A time in which there is low precipitation due to the movement of the tropical rain belt AWAY from the hemisphere in question. This is particularly noticeable in the tropics. Depending on the general climate and development of a region, this could lead to sever drought and lack of water.

Wet Season

Regional (Time-Dependent)

  • N. Hemisphere: April-Sep.

  • S. Hemisphere: Oct.-March

A time in which there is high precipitation due to the movement of the tropical rain belt INTO the hemisphere in question. This is particularly noticeable in the tropics. Depending on the general climate, elevation, and development of a region, this could lead to excess water and thunderstorms.

Cyclone/Typhoon/Hurricane Season

Regional (Time-Dependent)

  • American Atlantic: June-Nov.

  • American Pacific: May-Nov.

  • Indian Ocean (E. Africa/W. Australia): Oct.-May

  • Indian Ocean (S. Asia): April-Dec.

  • E. Asia Pacific: April-Jan.

  • Oceania Pacific: Oct.-May

Time of the year in which there is an increased chance of a Cyclone or Hurricane occurring in a certain region. Hurricanes typically form and dissipate in the ocean, but certain hurricanes have the potential to touch down on land depending on it's path.

Monsoon Season

Wildfire/Bushfire Season

Regional (Time-Dependent)

  • While generally occurring during summer months, wildfire season can stretch for random amounts of time.

Areas with dry hot climates can experience naturally occurring wildfires during summer months. These fires can rage for days, weeks and even months depending on severity. Typically occurs in areas with dry grasses, trees and other plant life. Although a natural occurrence, the climate change caused by earlier nation's pollution often means fires will last longer.

There was another small pause before Darth Mhar continued. “I’m here for a specific someone. If you can help us find them, we can be on our Mary way.”
