> Stickybeard, under the threat of death from Augusta [would be known if you had any hackers so much as poke the ISS Archive], cannot jeopardise the territorial integrity of Pathonia.
> Stickybeard just wants rights to build and control the canal to be granted to Pathonia. Asks for something else he may be able to give instead of land or land leases.
"Stickybeard if that is even your real name, if you really don't want this canal to be built in Dushina you can go through Mexico or down below Argentina but other than that we are your only real option. I don't feel like I'm making extremely excessive demands here." -Tsar Fluff I
Welcome to the Pacific! There are a lot of ways to enjoy NationStates, and the Pacific caters to all of them. To get started in the Pacific, it's important that you complete the below steps to fully enjoy your experience here in the Pacific and the New Pacific Order as either a new NationStates player, newcomer to the Pacific, or as a returning NationStates player.
First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.
What is the World Assembly and why should I join it?
The World Assembly, often abbreviated as "WA", is the NationStates equivalent of the real-world United Nations.
Vote on game-wide legislation: World Assembly member nations are able to vote on resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly and Security Council, thus allowing you to participate in determining game-wide legislation.
Endorse other nations: WA nations may endorse (similar to social media "likes") other nations in the same region as them.
Write WA resolutions: WA nations with 2 (two) or more endorsements may submit WA resolutions of their own for the entire game to vote on.
Bolster the strength of your region: The more endorsements our delegate, East Durthang, has, the larger the weighted delegate vote in the World Assembly is, granting us more influence over international WA affairs. Furthermore, the more endorsements our leadership holds, the more difficult it is for hostile forces to seek to invade or disrupt the stability of our home.
Become a Pacifican Vanguard: Nations who endorse our delegate receive the title Pacifican Vanguard, are featured on this list, and are eligible for exclusive rewards, such as custom nation banners.
Joining the World Assembly is the easiest step you can take in order to participate more in NationStates!
How do I join the World Assembly?
Follow the following five simple steps to get started in the World Assembly. If you need help, click on the spoiler sections to reveal screenshots of each step.
Click "Apply to Join". You must have an email registered with your account to access this feature.
Go to your affiliated email and click the link provided. If you cannot find it, check your spam folder.
You will be directed to a page where confirmation is required. Click the confirmation button on the page.
When you are in the World Assembly, visit East Durthang's page and find the "Endorse East Durthang" button. Click this. Once that is done, you will have successfully endorsed your Delegate!
- • Please note that the game only allows you to have one nation as a World Assembly member at any given time! NationStates moderation may remove and/or ban your nations from the World Assembly and/or the game for violating this rule. • If, for roleplaying reasons, you do not wish to join the World Assembly make a separate nation to use as your World Assembly nation. -
Once you've joined the World Assembly, you can endorse any nation that is also in the World Assembly. It is extremely important for the security of the region that you make sure to endorse our World Assembly DelegateEast Durthang.
Now that you've endorsed our World Assembly Delegate, you can join our forums and then apply for citizenship in the New Pacific Order. At most, the process will take a few days, and then after that - you're officially a citizen of the New Pacific Order.
As a part of the Pacific, you and every other Pacifican have the right to apply for NPO citizenship, and gain access to greater participation within the diverse activities and community of the region.
Benefits of Becoming a Citizen
This will present the opportunity to choose one or more specializations in the region's government and gain access to more engaging aspects of the region and what it has to offer.
You will gain access to the internal proceedings of the New Pacific Order and membership in the Body Republic, which allows you to propose changes or new ideas that may aid in the regional direction in the future.
Joining the forum leads to the path to the forumside roleplay community as well as the gameside roleplay community.
Becoming a Citizen grants you to access our private Discord channels.
Citizenship is the first step to becoming an important figure in the region and being able to dictate policy as well as help lead other Pacificans.
How do I Apply for Citizenship?
Register an account on the forum. You will need to click the verification link emailed to the address you signed up with.
Go to Account Settings -> Edit Profile. Enter your nation name and link then press the 'Save' button.
Review our 'Citizenship Application Instructions'. You can do this by clicking the link or by visiting Recipient Desk -> NationStates Applications -> Citizenship Application Instructions.
Create a new topic in the NationStates Applications forum and fill out the questionnaire from the Citizenship Application Instructions.
Check your application topic periodically and answer the questions asked by our admissions staff.
The last thing that you need to do to get started is to join our Discord server. It allows you to communicate with all the members of the New Pacific Order, stretching across 3 main branches and other games as well. Since you're a citizen, you'll also get access to the special citizens-only channel too!
Having probably heard about New Pacific Order's Discord server, either from your fellow Pacificans or from simply reading the regional page or dispatches, you might be wondering how to join it. Or not, if you are already a proficient Discord user, simply skip every step until the one where the server link is posted.
Now, for those unaware, Discord is a communication app available in browser, PC app or mobile format that allows its users to form large organized communities. These communities are called servers, in most cases, and each one has its own specific organization and set of rules and moderators. The intent of this dispatch is to provide an initial introduction to how to function with Discord and, more particularly, the NPO's server.
Benefits of Joining Discord
The ability to become fully integrated with all opportunities available in The Pacific and make the most out of your citizenship is attained through joining the most active aspect of the region.
A chance to help determine the regional direction for the World Assembly votes is also available if you so wish to help dictate our decision for specific proposals, including your own.
Discord gives you an easier route to meeting the extant regional leadership, discussing regional affairs, and is necessary for people who aspire to become involved in our government.
Inclusion in the full regional experience and introduction to the wider community of the New Pacific Order is available through Discord membership.
Getting Started with Discord
The first step would be to make an account in Discord itself. While not necessary to utilize server it is usually recommended due to ease of reusability and practicality. An account is absolutely free and simply unlocks a lot of features that a guest user might not have. Simply go to https://discord.com and register an account, preferably with a username that won't breach any NPO rules, and this step should be done. You'll inevitably be prompted to confirm your email, so simply check your inbox.
With your account registered you now have a few options. You can choose to do one of them, or even all of them. You can open Discord on your browser, download and install the application or download the mobile app. Any of them will work for the purposes of this tutorial, though the PC app is more flexible in terms of functionality (use of one platform does not exclude the use of others).
Click here to join the NPO Discord server. It is as simple as that after every previous step has been accomplished. Click it and after a prompt to join the server you will be in. Now comes the more specific part.
Upon joining the server, if you have already applied for citizenship and been accepted (if not, check this dispatch for a guide on how to do it) post here to request that your account be added to private channels.
If you have any more questions pertaining to the use of Discord itself, feel free to ask the people within the server for help. We hope your experience within the community is fun and fruitful.
Approval granted by Empress Augusta to pursue the construction of the Tehuantepec Canal
[pre] > Call up the Armed Service Reserves. [1k KV per day paid to them] > Offer generous wages and benefits for volunteers as needed. [950 KV per day + [for the duration of the project] free housing + 3 meals per day) > Secure transport to Mexico [SIN + PACMAN]. [Airlift to Carrier Force in the Gulf or seek access for workers / reserves to flow through Dushina up to Tehuantepec] > Secure consistent supply routes to Mexico until early November. [Largest cost being this and the logistical nightmare associated with it] > If speed can be hastened this way, seek out foreign contractors.
A joint fund between Ca'forna and Achenar offers ~1.3Trln Zyo (~500Bln KV) to the Pathonian government to build this canal, in exchange for the rights of the canal to be shared.
"This seems... far more expensive than any canal through Dushina would be. Perhaps we can come to an agreement that would make us both happy (and not cause massive ecological damage). Would this canal even be faster than the Panama Canal anyway? Can you even get the Mexican Government to approve this venture? There are many questions about this Tehuantepec Canal, far more than a Nicaraguan canal." -Tsar Fluff I

meanwhile in feimaria* The high sovereign paces around her room, picking up and rearranging the current positional conformation of the plush objects inhabiting the floor space. Such is the overflow of huggable particulates that in lines directly adjacent to the path made a layer of 3 such objects stacked one on top of another is overshadowed by what lies besides. Her searching increases as Nadie looks for her most important collectables. Not that they all arent valuable, but some hold deeper emotional value, especially those to do with her few friends and family. The shark, snake, ermin, lions, drakes, crabs, birds and others end up placed atop the bed, for easier storage. The sovereign's heart isng such to completely disregard the others. they too will need to be cared for. Some form of an efficient system where all are equally cherished and maintained seems most idea, it can't be a system too oppressive either. The Plushies as such will be put back on the myriad of shelves in this very room. They will be constantly monitored, but not oppressed or left to fend for themselves in a prison of wood. Happiness is key to success.
Nadie realises suddenly that she has gone too deep into plushie-based world building and that she'd better get back to actually cleaning up the mess.
