A month's still quite a long time to be honest, but I also don't know all the context. I'm not a fan of the "getting raided solved our problems" mindset though, if you had a spam problem there are much better ways to have taken care of it.
Hello there, and congratulations on founding your very own nation! We know you’ve probably got your hands full governing millions of citizens, but we also wanted to introduce you to your region. A region is simply a community of nations, and every new nation like yourself starts out in one. If you’re reading this, that means you’re in the region of the South Pacific (TSP). That’s us — welcome!
But what can you do in a region? We’re glad you asked! Regions are a great way to get to know and play NationStates with other players. Every region has something different to offer, but here in the South Pacific, some of the things we’re known for include…
The oldest extant democracy on NationStates, running since 2003, with a stable, democratic, and highly-developed government;
A regional military that’s one of the leading forces defending other regions from attack;
Vibrant roleplay universes, where players build up the lore of their country; and
A friendly and welcoming community of players just like you.
No matter what you’re interested in, we’re sure there’s something for you. The choice is yours!
If you have any questions about NationStates or our region, feel free to join our Discord server or regional forums to chat with other members of our community. We'd be happy to help you!

Join the military Protect innocent regions across NationStates
Our military offers exciting, fast-paced gameplay and the chance to defend innocent regions and communities all across NationStates from unjustified attacks.
NationStates doesn’t have wars between nations (although you can roleplay it, look below for more info), but it does have wars between regions. Our regional military, the South Pacific Special Forces (SPSF), is one of NationStates' premier defender militaries, which means we work to protect innocent regions from attack by hostile invaders. It's a great way to get in on some exciting, fast-paced action with (and against) other players while protecting innocent communties across the game!
Join our legislature, the Assembly Shape our regional laws
The Assembly is our regional legislature. It consists of legislators who create, debate, and vote on laws covering the rights of citizens of our region, our foreign policy towards other regions, the way our regional officer powers are allocated, and a lot more.
As a legislator, you can craft, debate, and vote on laws just like in a real government. The Assembly offers rich, lively political debate and is the perfect venue for you to voice your beliefs and shape our region. You can learn a ton about writing laws and dealing with legisative procedures by participating in the Assembly.
Many NationStates players enjoy roleplay (RP), where you get to build up the lore of your country and its people with other players. Whether you’re looking to write stories about your people, report on news from your nation, or simulate trade relations or even war, roleplay is a great choice to get involved.
Our roleplay communities are a perfect outlet to unleash your creativity and formulate your country’s lore and history.
How do I join?
We have a couple of roleplay universes you can join:
Pacifica is our main modern-tech roleplay universe set in the world known as Pacifica
Sector A1-0 is a universe for Future Tech sci-fi roleplay.
Aurora is a medieval-era fantasy roleplay universe.
To participate, just make an account on our regional forum, then post your roleplay on whatever universe you want. Remember to read the About post (e.g. About: Pacifica canon) of an universe first to make sure you know the world and rules!
Aside from the forum, you can do informal roleplay or ask any question about roleplay on our Discord server.
That’s okay! We think we have a little bit to offer everyone, but if nothing catches your eye right now, no worries! We’d love to just chat with you and get to know you a bit better. Feel free to make an account on our regional forums or join our Discord server.
The AI football tournament will begin on 5th December. We will begin a qualifier round with 4 teams each. We would need 20-30 people from where other rounds will be taken to decide the final contestants for the main tournament. The contestants who wish to enter will automatically enter the host bid, but can withdraw by a quick telegram to Kami0. We would need 2 more countries (Kami0 is already the host). Hosts may be able to obtain automatic qualifications. Please be kind enough to join the qualifiers!
