Indeed. The Delegate is supreme here, and we believe in the art of using custom fields in NationStates to send a message. Bhang Bhang Duc, Sensorland, Ridersyl, The Holy Principality of Saint Mark, and 5 othersGiovanniland, Nas Crustium, Willow Gate, Republican jericho, and Haetonia |

How do you play this game? |
Oh I didn't realize this. Do I need to start doing that, then? Is there a reason for this? |
Here is a very useful guide to help you get started ... New Player's Guide to The West Pacificby Quick Contacts Delegate & World Assembly Recruitment: TWPAF: Foreign Affairs: Cultural Trust: Regional Guides: Congratulations! Your nation has made its way to NationStates' premier meritocracy! In this guide you'll find all you need to navigate this game and get involved in our community here in the West Pacific. TWP Quick Links: The West Pacific ● 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, Your application will be processed as soon as possible.

There's no need for you to personally do so on an individual level; it's just regional policy. National sovereignty and all that. Giovanniland, Willow Gate, Locksley Hall, Nagaraningrad, and 2 othersRepublican jericho, and Verdorotera |
hi gio! |
Indeed as Sensor says. Note that the policy only extends to the General Assembly, in the Security Council we have active programs in place for authoring new resolutions, such as those commending prominent members of TWP that have also made an impact in the international community. Bhang Bhang Duc, Zoran, Blue bubble, Republican jericho, and 2 othersClante, and Verdorotera |
Part of the reason we do it is that GA bills impact the stats of your nation. We don't think that's fair, and support repealing resolutions to give control back to stats. There are many players that enjoy focusing on stats, and dealing with the GA really has an impact on it. Sensorland, Giovanniland, Nas Crustium, Willow Gate, and 3 othersBlue bubble, Republican jericho, and Verdorotera |
Thanks for all the feedback. It seems that the GA holds more power than the actual UN, where states don't always follow the rulings and a lot of times aren't punished for it. Very interesting. |
Indeed. Also, a fun fact in relation to the UN: this game was started by Max Barry in 2002, and until April 2008 the international organization of the multiverse was actually called United Nations, with only a single chamber. Max changed the name and logo to the World Assembly on April 1st, as the game has a history of doing pranks or adding features in that date. The real prank for many was to see in April 2nd that the World Assembly change wasn't actually a April Fools prank. Instead, the real life UN had given Max a notice of cease of desist due to using its logo and name. The WA has existed ever since, with the two chambers of the General Assembly and Security Council separated shortly after its creation.

Oh shoot I accidentally made Weapons of Mass Destruction. |
Good afternoon |
There are issues that can reverse this choice if you pick a certain option, sooner or later you will receive one of them. :) Willow Gate, The theeserrasland, Republican jericho, and Askeling |
That is amazing. I love that the actual UN had to have a hissy fit over this website xD Giovanniland, Willow Gate, and Askeling |
Although, since you don't receive a bunch of instant stat shifts upon joining the WA, any repeal of something passed prior to joining the WA will also mess with one's stats, so... *grumbles* Willow Gate and Republican jericho |
Thank you so much! |

It’s Friday Karaoke TWP. Richard Thompson - Gethsemane https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C8g2bgk47UM Among the headstones you played as boys Sailboat on the Cadie, pushbike on the quay Just down the river, into the noise and the smoke And those bosses betrayed, soon let you go Now you've got your own boys, hell bent for leather Who sucked out the freedom, days without end |
Social-centrist republic of poland Hallo |
hello |
Welcome to The West Pacific. May I suggest you have a read of our New Player’s Guide, absolutely chock full of help to get you started. And for you I would advise reading our RMB Etiquette. Our rules are different to those of TNP where you’ve moved from. Sensorland, The Holy Principality of Saint Mark, and Republican jericho |
what did i do? |
Nothing. I’m just giving you advice as TNPers over the years have fallen foul of the difference in RMB etiquette between the two regions. Edit: and having searched your posts then I definitely do recommend you do your homework on what’s acceptable to post on our RMB.
