We will lovely accept this! But we're sadly not going to accept the mutual defense treaty. We're not going to defend anybody, and we're only going to defend ourselves. But consider us friendly to your nation!

Welcome to The North Pacific!
Welcome to The North Pacific (TNP)! You might be a new nation to the game or in TNP, and you don't really know what is going on or where to start. Or you may be an experienced member but have several questions regarding some of the activities going on. Whatever the case, we have put together this handbook that you can use to familiarize yourself with the game and TNP, and to make the most out of your time in NationStates (NS).
The handbook has a number of different sections. The index below will help you navigate them. If you have any questions not answered in this handbook, feel free to send a telegram to Delegate Kaschovia, Minister of Home Affairs Lionsroar, or any of the Gameside Advocates and Mentors. They will be glad to help! Additionally, we are always looking to improve this handbook, so let us now if you think something should be added or changed.
Onboarding Checklist
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: Selecting a region for your nation is one of the most important decisions you will make in the game. We hope you will make TNP your home, and this link explains why. If you have already decided to stay here, that's great!
Join the regional forum: The forum is where most government and roleplay activities take place. Registering an account is very easy. You should get yourself an account so that you can check out what's going on and join in on the fun.
Join our regional chat: Our Discord server is where our members hang out and chat about the game and real life subjects. You can join and introduce yourself to our community. Additionally, if you have any questions, asking on Discord is the fastest way to get help.
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. All you need to apply is a nation in TNP and an account on the forum.
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.
Get involved in the government: There are many ways to get involved in the government straight away after joining TNP. You can write the regional laws in the Regional Assembly. You can take part in the day-to-day running of the region in the Executive Staff. Or, you can protect TNP at home and abroad in the North Pacific Army.
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.

Hey, looks like theres a war with the Cold alliance
Tsardom of leonlandia
United confederate states
Over 20k troops began an invasion of the British colony in Anea with 2 transport ships and 5 battleships while the 20% is stationed in the Confederacy to defend the home countrt
Sir Edward Rottlow, chief of the Brittanian Anea Forces was sitting at his desk, reading over reports of the mobilisation of the reservists in the colony, it was going well so far, just under 50,000 reservists had been mobilised which would be able to greatly support the 50,000 active force that was stationed to defend the colony. He was reading about where the reservists were positioned when a member of his staff opened the door "Sir" they said as they saluted "The submarines that have been patrolling the Ceres Ocean have reported finding a fleet of between 6 and 9 vessels, all of them large, heading in our direction, thy are confirmed to be hostile." Rottlow ran through his head what he could be facing, that they knew the enemy ships were large meant there might be an aircraft carrier task force but it seemed to small a force to have more than one, after a brief contemplation he decided on a plan.
"Have the submarines continue their tailing of this fleet, if they get an opportunity to sink an enemy they are to do so, but they are not to take unnecessary risks. Have 10 destroyers, accompanied by 4 cruisers ready to engage them also have 36 aircraft ready to engage aswell in supporting the navy. We will sink this fleet and continue to go about defending our post. Have the reservists join the active forces in preparing the defensive capabilities of the colony."
The staff saluted then closed the door. Within a few hours, the fleet was ready with its staff and missile all at sea, their airforce flying overhead, ready to engage the enemy and send them to the bottom of the seas. The submarines kept watch, providing Intel when they could of the fleets position and make up.
It’s good to finally see some good quality RP here

The government takes a stand and says that it is "really sad and a shame it was someone from our alliance. We hope that this never happens again. Our deepest sympathy goes to the people who are belonging and the victims."
