Both of them are working for me. The bold name (the bold text on the left) should be "Origin" and the date and place of founding should be on the right as usual.
Just finished working on the Koroni Islam article for the Valsora Wiki! If you would like to check it out, link is here: https://valsora.miraheze.org/wiki/Koroni_Islam
(also I will probably adding more information to the article soon but for now it will stay as is)
“Ngh.” Vera groans as she opens her eyes. Her body felt eerily relieved. That last thing she remembers was being in intense pain. Oh. And that stupid owl.
No…then there was that…egg. Right? It was sitting there. Then it began to crack. Light came from within until it finally broke. Then she was here.
Wait where is here anyway? And why does it smell like someone seriously screwed up on the stove?
Vera’s orange eyes pan around. The room was bare, save for a large glass wall. A prison? No, the bed definitely feels like a…
This trail of thought is quickly derailed by the sight of what seemed to be ash covering her body, large piles on her sides that seem to have broken off when she sat up. The bedding was scorched and frayed. “Oh god what now?” the pilot groans as her ears ring…or is that the fire alarm? Of Centralist Brexit
“Well in that case,” she stoods up and helped Donald to his feet, “I am completely certain someone's messed with that brain of yours, otherwise you'll not've convulsed on the floor like an OD patient.”
She hurriedly run around the room, picking up her belongings and shoving them down her bag, after which she dressed up in her agent suit, all the while Donald just stood there dazed, perhaps still reeling from that headache.
Nisa picks up her phone and dialed a number, it rings for a few second and she hung up. “Now, follow me.” she dragged Donald by the arms out the room and into the counter where she checks out, paying extra for thorough room cleanup.
Once out, the driver from before was already at the door, waiting for them. He greets the two and walked both to his car.
“Be a gentleman and behave, or else instead of having warm cuddly agent hugging you all the way out to safety, your head might end up looking like a bowling ball.” she brushed her tail on his cheek as both got seated in the car.
The engine revvs into action and the car speeds of onto the road.
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.
I have in hindsight realized that there lies here only the mere smidgen of a joke, upheld more because of the components inside rather than any real humor. I apologize then for my petty attempt to manufacture several components into one abominable body rather than making a wholistically functional entertaining post.
