What is NationStates?
NationStates (NS) is a nation simulation game where we, the players, run nations and band together in regions to have a good time.
First and foremost, there is your individual nation. This is what you see with when you login to NS. You have the authority to govern it as you see fit by answering issues, which change your laws, statistics, and rankings. These can be found using the different symbol tabs on your nation page.
You can also join the World Assembly, get to know the people of TWP, apply for regional citizenship, and join the regional government, which you'll read about in the next few sections.
Regions and the World Assembly
Every nation is a part of a region, and like you, they start out in one of the five Pacific regions. Most regions have their own systems of government that have been created by the players who live there. Each region is headed by a Delegate, the nation with the most World Assembly endorsements.
The World Assembly (WA) is similar to the United Nations in the real world. In this body, resolutions and laws are passed that all WA member nations must abide by. Please join the World Assembly to help secure your new home and raise its influence on the world stage!
Once you have joined the WA, you may vote on proposals in the General Assembly (GA) and Security Council (SC), and endorse other TWP nations. Please note that you are only allowed to have one nation in WA.
As mentioned earlier, the nation with the most endorsements in a region is the Delegate, gaining executive power in the region. For those reasons, it's extremely important to join the WA and endorse our Delegate Overthinkers & the Guardians.
In order to endorse a nation after you join the WA, find their page and then scroll to the bottom, where there will be a button to endorse.
If you have any further questions about NationStates you can send a telegram to our current Delegate, Overthinkers. She’s a great person and will kindly help with and questions or concerns you may have!
All about The West Pacific!
Here in The West Pacific, we use a meritocratic system of government with the Delegate at its head. The more active you are in the region and the more capable you show yourself to be, the more opportunities you will get for responsibility and advancement.
Because of this, we are one of the most continuously innovative regions in the game. The regional government is made up of the Delegate, the Guardians, Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and staff. All positions are appointed by the Delegate based on merit except for the Speaker of the Hall and the Hall of Nations Guardian, who are elected by the members of the Hall of Nations.
Members of the Hall of Nations are citizens of The West Pacific. You can join by making an account on our forums, filling the citizenship form, and repeating the citizenship oath.
Your application will be processed as soon as possible. While you wait, it's a good idea to talk on the Regional Message Board and get to know our Discord community.
After being accepted as a citizen, you can join one of TWP's government ministries to get more involved!

TODAY IN THE WEST
Why did the tomato blush? Because he saw the salad dressing! That's right, it's Punday Monday! Dad jokes are welcome, even if you're only kidding.
Today is also Camera Day. Did you ever have the old polaroid? Remember the disposable camera? Maybe you can share your best photography on our Discord on the Western Artists channel.
As our month-long celebration of TWPride nears its close (sort of), remember to post your #TWPridetunes playlists on our RMB or on Discord. Watch out for some additional history posts that will appear in the coming days.
I said sort of because Dali's Drag Race is halfway there, and the remaining contestants are livin' on a prayer. Visit Dali Drag Race tonight to see whose wit and looks saved the day. Two more episodes follow, bringing this fabulous race into July.
Stay tuned for more in the Best Pacific!

Since I was writing an NS issue draft about chess yesterday...
I had dinner once with a grandmaster in a restaurant with checked tablecloths. It took him two hours to pass me the salt.
When I was learning chess, I once tried to move my castle first. Bit of a rookie error.
Someone asked me how I was going to pay for my new chess set. I said, “cheque, mate”.

Welcome to the West Pacific! The game itself is simple, every few hours you get issues and you answer them. But the fun part of the game is the community really. You should consider reading this guide for new players:
