I was browsing the web for cool images to inspire me on a worldbuilding project, and one image led to a NationStates dispatch. I read it, then more and more, then I decided it would be wise to partake in this dispatch thing. Eventually I was drawn into RP tho, then TEP and Valsora, and now I serve on two separate regional governments.

Patrolling the Pacáliers (Piscary)

September 22, 2030; 5:40 AM

Ever since the 2027 Estandér elections, President Coimbra promised an end to the widespread piracy in the Pacáliers Sea, which was the main reason on why he was elected. His promises were not yet fulfilled, even 3 years later. Many people from the port cities of Cristóbal de Algaré and Balás are starting dislike the president, as their fishing boats and ships were being raided by pirates, to an extent that sailing in the Southern Pacáliers was a death wish. Then again, no president from the Second Republic never fulfilled any of their promises.

Coimbra's popularity worsened as on July 7, a band of pirates boarded a fishing ship and slaughtered everyone on the vessel; they knew about it since the pirates recorded it and sent the video to the Estandér masses, the sheer violence shown in the footage was enough to make the strongest of stomachs vomit. The abscence of the coastguard was the reason for the presence of the pirates, as without armed forces in the Pacáliers, fishing vessels and yachts alike were easy prey for the pirates.

Finally, on September 20, Coimbra announced that all coastguard vessels would patrol the Pacáliers, and not the rivers that run through the nation. The Anti-Piracy for the Pacáliers Program (APPP) was established, a program where the coastguard was to be re-armed once more and, hopefully, temporarily clear the south Pacáliers of piracy.

The program officially began on September 22 at 5:40 in the morning. After the coastguard was given assault rifles and better equipment by the government, they were sent out to the Pacáliers to hunt the pirate scum. Three fleets, made out of small vessels and boats, left the foggy ports of Cristóbal de Algaré to the warm waters of the Piscary. A beautiful sea, and yet filled with lowlife scum.

There was little initial success, as they soon learned that pirates were not attracted to armed, government forces. So, they developed some tactics to trick pirates. At night they would send a seemingly-innocent civilian vessel to the sea alone, what the pirates didn't know was that armed marines were aboard the vessel.

Yachts with no people inside them were also deployed, and when pirates were attracted to them
they'd immediately go, hoping to acquire easy money. When they realised the the yacht was in fact a ruse, government forces would already arrive at the location before they could react.

bruh just launch tomahawks at em

Speaking of which how DID the USR collapse, what, like, IRL? too many Reforms and Democracy which led to people learning that it was a Bad country? or a War?

(another question) how did you get introducted to nationstates?

Found it myself, I was looking for sites where you play as a nation (since I kept making myself fictional nations). I first found it somewhere in 2017 in a Youtube video that had a link to a now CTE'd nation in the site. I was going to log in as a Star Wars-themed nation that I put my mind on, but because of dangers of internet drama, I decided not to. A year later, I was putting my mind on another fictional nation, one that was militaristic and stuff, so I wondered about that site, and I went there. Finally in 2018, I decided to play the site game as 'Shavara', which is my current and oldest account. I found out that it was just issue answering and text RP, but hey, it was for nations, so I jumped in. My very first word is a generic greeting with an interrogation mark, saying 'hello?'.

Ah, good times.
