The Endless Kakistocracy of Basementees I, Basementees, am throwing Pax Britannia into the ring of regions which you should consider merging into. We are a heavy RP based region, currently on our third iteration of Roleplay. Pax Britannia is a 7.5yr old region, founded after an exodus from the British Isles. We operate under puppet founder, run by the collective of Parliament. Pax Britannia For Merger! | ||||||||||||
The Notorious Witch Hegemon of Chaotic Sparkles As you consider which region you would prefer to call your new home, I beckon you to consider our region of Sparkalia! We are primarily an RP based region that lends a lot of freedom to creativity and our own map as well. We have both fantasy and future tech in our roleplay on a planetary scale. Our roleplay focuses on collaboration and telling a story so that there is a fun and enjoyable experience for all. :) We also field a military that continues to grow stronger and stronger with regularly carried out operations and a World Assembly delegacy with a respectable amount of World Assembly votes. The Queendom of Sparkalia is one that while absolute caters the best way possible to its wonderful growing community and the sky is the limit as we continue to develop and grow! We hope you will choose us, and if not we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! If you have questions, be sure to tag me and I am sure to answer :) Khijovia, Nacortuine, and Kyldigard | ||||||||||||
Hello The Great North. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRfZO9voP2c I greatly urge and request the citizens here please consider voting for (or switching to vote for) the Kodiak Republic as your new home. Or if not, you're welcome to join us anyway. Our master dispatch may be read here:
Welcome to Kodiak! This guide is a work in progress. Thank you for your patience! (Last Updated: 04 May 2023) Recent Additions: Bulletin: TKR NS RolePlay Rules, Bulletin: TKR Embassy Policy Welcome to the Kodiak Republic! Whether you are new to NationStates, or an old hat in this global community of ours, you are very welcome. If you simply cannot wait to get involved and meet everyone, please feel free to jump straight to the DISCORD and apply to take part in the Assembly. If you need any help, a citizen of Kodiak is right around the corner, so please feel free to give us a shout and we will see what we can do for you! Who are we? Our founding pillars of this society revolve around the importance of democracy of the people, integrity in all we do, equality for all people, and finally, community. As a community we recognise that people come from all sorts of places, with all sorts of history, and should be free from discrimination and free to have a voice. These pillars focus on things that build the foundation to a strong, safe, and friendly community to spend your time in. That is important. As a democracy, we believe that the people should be enfranchised to have a say, rather than keeping power within a small circle of popularity, our governing bodies are designed such that every voice can be heard regardless of perceived importance. If you are new to NationStates, you will have the opportunity to participate and add your flavour of ideas to an ever-growing community with an ever-growing repertoire of opportunity. What can I do? If you are eager to get involved but just don’t know where to start, have a look here! • You can immediately join us on our DISCORD and join discussions, or simply chat with your fellow Kodiakers!
.... DICE – the four pillars upon which the Kodiak community rests. .... Kodiak is more than a mock government simulation. It is first and foremost a community of members. To best ensure a quality and enjoyable environment, we follow four central tenants to guide the interactions between members, staff, and visitors. They will be explained in detail below. E – Equality All members are expected to treat one another equally with respect and empathy. Within a rich and dynamic political simulation, our community must embrace the reality that members will often have nuanced and varied opinions that are influenced by their experience, background, culture, religion, and education. These opinions are all equally valued and equally necessary to maintain a healthy mock-government community. While these situations may rise tensions in some debates, it is expected members will always be considerate of the human on the other side of the screen. Specifically, while some many metres of print have been spent on the ‘paradox of tolerance’, we stand firmly that intolerance cannot be accepted. An educational example may be on the point of homosexuality. It is expected and probable that a member will consider homosexual conduct a sin in their religion. It would be expected that member would both, 1) be able to respect the personal decisions and debate points of a person who has a different opinion on sexuality and 2) feel safe to voice their religious reasoning in a religious context without being attacked. Perhaps another similar example would be the witty quip, “if you don’t like gay marriage, don’t get gay married.” C - Community Kodiak does not exist without its community. When a service Kodiak provides (national simulation, inter-discord relations, dedicated gaming) begins to experience a degradation towards toxic interactions, the safety and enjoyment of the members of the community will always come first over the minor specifics of a service. We are all eachothers’ Kodiak neighbours, and it is expected some members may not always get along. It is also probable that two members who do not get along well will both be equally committed to their place in our community, which may prolong an unhealthy social conflict. It is expected that all members will, especially in circumstances like described above, consider the effect their actions take on the health of the community, and adjust their behaviour accordingly. Our moderation team includes members who are trained in conflict resolution and counselling, and while it is always the responsibility of a member to ensure their behaviour is aligned with these four values, help will be given if help is requested. Lastly, it is important to understand that the rules of our community are written by and approved by our community and therefore it is expected that members will do their best to interact in a way that is positive and compliant to those rules. I - Integrity The strength of our community and the ability to participate in good faith in political or other discussion will rely entirely on the strength of character of our members. Members are expected not to lie or to use excessive logical fallacies to force their positions. While there will always be opportunities for well meaning individuals to use poor logical argument to support a position, it must always be in good faith. Replace strawmen with steel-men arguments, and never use ad-hominem. If a position seems ridiculous, try to ask questions to learn why someone thinks that way. You may be surprised how often a person did not mean an argument to sound the way they typed it. And if you treat others this way, you will find your mistakes are treated with respect and compassion as well. It should also go without saying that fraud and sock-puppetry is unacceptable conduct. D - Democracy The root of our community is its foundation on its democracy. The decisions we make and the opportunities to participate are all rooted in the belief that fair and good faith debate within a respectful forum, followed by a fair and transparent acceptance process like voting, are essential to the healthy functioning of our community. While not every moderation decision can be (or will be) debated ad-infinitum, the way our moderation team operates should always be as near as possible to the rules and procedures agreed upon by the informed consent of the community. Opportunities to appeal moderation decisions to an impartial arbiter should always exist, but actions which result in banishment because they jeopardise the strength of these four pillars do not often find themselves successfully appealed. I want to finish by saying that these descriptors aren’t here to scare you, and they aren’t even necessarily important to study and memorise. The crux of the point is; don’t be a jerk. These four pillars exist to make you feel safe - safe that you can expect to be treated with respect and to be treated fairly in as many of your interactions in Kodiak as possible. I cannot guarantee that all members will always effectively follow these values and there will certainly always be trolls that try to push the boundaries. What I can guarantee though is that every time you choose to do the right thing, it almost always encourages others to make the same choice, and that this is what will always make Kodiak strong. I am excited you are with us, and I am excited to see what you can bring to our community. Every member, big or small, makes Kodiak a better place and if you want to be a part of something great then you are always welcome here in Kodiak. | ||||||||||||
