Plus, y'know, I really like a lot of the programs that our tax money supports. Happy to contribute to the national "nobody has to choose between a hernia operation and their kids' school supplies" fund.
As Julia would look back, she would notice a black armored individual walking past the door frame, along with a cold breeze.
Ok a Cardonian flag. She did read the personal mail of the Imperetress…well at the order of 6 but he most likely threw her under the bus for black ops reasons, hence Cardonian prison.
“I…don’t know.” the pilot answers, looking herself over. The black veins that had once covered her body had completely vanished, along with the pain that accompanied them.
I haven't followed this conversation very much, but I just want to reflect on the idea that the human supremacist of all people seems to be talking about wanting to bring more non-human life into the world :sweat_smile: lol?
I have a short term problem too: figuring out how to get a consistly translated word. I'm looking at making my main slavic basis Estonia. Playing with words, I'm somewhat liking the words surrounding "Witch" / "Nõidus". There's not much of a problem so long as I keep the spelling.. but when I try to replace the accented 'o'-like character with an english 'o', problems do in fact emerge lol
The day after Rizwam had delivered King Alistair news of the potential alliance, King Alistair, would be sitting on his throne, pondering about the whole ordeal. He had a plan, not a very good plan, but a plan at the least. He knew it needed some tweaking, and some more time to think, so like he always did in times of dire need, he called upon his advisor, a man named Aatos. Aatos had been Alistairs advisor since the unexpected death of the old advisor the former year. When the King called him, Aatos was already standing before the throne. Of course, Aatos was already well aware of the situation. The news had spread through the Parliament like a wildfire. Even those of the Nobility were interested in the ordeal. Though this type of thing was not something they would normally take interest in. Aatos would look up at King Alistair, waiting for what the King had to say, he seemed concentrated, as the Kings right hand was stroking his beard hairs, as he looked down intently towards the ground. After a while, at long last, the King spoke, his eyes still trained on the ground below him.
"Aatos, I need you to do a small favor for me."
"Of course, your wish is my command, your Majesty."
The Kings hand would suddenly cease stroking his bread, and fall back down to the armrests on his throne, as he would turn his head up towards Aatos, to make eye contact with him. Though he still seemed to be thinking hardly about something. Whatever it was, it seemed to really bother him. Alistair would sigh for a moment, before responding to Aatos.
"I need you, to find out more about Furtechvia. I don't care how unorthodox it is, send the drones in if you have too, I just need to know why they needed our shipment, and what they are doing with it, and just what sort of character this 'Kagamiri' woman actually is. I want to be totally sure on everything before getting into touch with them. I'm sure you understand Aatos, correct?"
"Of course, your Majesty, I understand completely. It is important to be absolutely sure about what you are doing, especially when you are running a nation. You must always keep inmind the safety of people, and of Awqnia. I will contact our espionage teams right away, it will be done at once."
Aatos would waste not a moment, and swiftly leave the room, once the door would slam shut, Alistair would rub his temples, sighing deeply once more, as he would mumble to himself quietly.
"It seems I have alot of work ahead of me. This whole thing, has only just begun."
First, join the World Assembly. Joining strengthens our region and allows you to vote in the World Assembly as well as conferring additional privileges. Follow the guide below to get started:
The East Pacific census collects, analyses and displays various statistics and points of interest. The vast majority of the information collected and displayed here is automated. This information is collected to help keep track of important information and data, which can be used to ensure we are meeting targets and are performing adequately as a region. This data is also used to gauge the performance of our REWARD Program. As the content in this dispatch is automated, please do not edit it manually.
Welcome to the East Pacific! We are one of the oldest regions out there, with 20 years of experience. We have a lot to offer, including two current tech roleplays and an accessible legislature and executive.
You are reading STEP, The East's guide to NationStates. Each dispatch contains a summary and then more detailed explanations, including screenshots and detailed insights from our experienced players. If you're new, we recommend reading every dispatch in order, but you can also read them independently of one another.
You have either been founded in a frontier or a feeder, two types of regions which accept new nations. If you find yourself in the East Pacific, please read this guide! If you aren't in the East Pacific, go to The East Pacific and scroll down until you see "Move [YOUR NATION] to the East Pacific."
You'll be seeing a lot of recruitment Telegrams, which can get spammy and annoying pretty quickly. To disable recruitment telegrams, head to Settings > Telegrams > Preferences > Block All under "Recruitment".
Nations receive issues once every six hours. Some issues spawn card packs, which contain cards ranked by rarity that you can retain, trade or sell.
Hello and welcome to NationStates, and the East Pacific. You are currently reading STEP, our guide designed to get you jump started in the game. If you're like other newbies, you'll probably have many questions about how everything works. This guide, lovingly written by our hospitality team, is designed to answer all of your questions, and more. If you want to get a quick summary of things and then get launched into things, you will get the jist of things by reading the summaries on top of these dispatches, however our dispatches aim to be short and accessible while also going into enough detail, so we recommend you read them in full.
If you have any questions, we have multiple government members that are willing to answer them! Feel free to ask on the regional message board, or telegram our Delegate, they will be happy to answer any question you might have!
The East Pacific is one of five feeder regions who share fifty percent of all new spawns, with the other fifty percent going to frontiers, regions founded by users which also accept new nations, trading guaranteed security for the privilege. If you've let your nation go inactive and Cease to Exist, and then logged back in, you have likely spawned in one of three restorer regions, which are designed to rehabilitate nations that have returned after a brief period of absence.
If you're reading this, it is likely that you have been founded in the East Pacific, however, if you haven't you are still more than welcome to join, and we would love to have you on board. To move, you should go to the East Pacific's regional page, scroll down until you see the Move [YOUR NATION] to the East Pacific and then click on it.
The East Pacific is an active democracy, and participation can be enjoyed by all that seek to contribute in good faith. If you're interested in joining, STEPs Three onwards will take you through applying to the East Pacific.
Telegrams
Many regions send you automated recruitment telegrams in an attempt to get you to join their region. There are a lot of these, and it can get spammy and overwhelming fast. Thankfully, NationStates has given you a way to block Telegrams you don't want. To do this, you need to click on the settings button, which is usually found in the top bar of the page.
If you then scroll down to telegrams and go to preferences, you'll see a grid which looks something like this:
Our recommended settings are as follows, however, you are free to choose whatever you want. "Allow Some" occasionally allows telegrams in, and "Allow Most" blocks some. If you click the "block all" for recruitment, your nation will stop receiving the large volume of recruitment telegrams. Keep in mind that your inbox can only hold twenty telegrams.
Issues and Cards
Issues are problems that you need to handle, and they impact your nations statistics and rankings abroad. Initially you get a higher rate of issues like normal, however, once you've played the game for a while, you only get one issue every six hours. As long as you abide by general decorum, the East Pacific does not penalise you for the way you answer issues - we're a big community, and your type of nation reflects that.
There is no "correct" way to answer issues, only the way that you want to. Every issue changes your statistics, and some might change your national policy. If you want to, there are websites such as this one that give you the general trend in issue outcomes, however using these aren't necessary and you should only do it if you find it fun!
Issues sometimes generate cards. Cards are minted irregularly and are a snapshot of a nation, divided into various classes of rarity, from common to legendary. Cards can be bought, sold and traded on the market.
