Hmm...

Well the definition of strange is "unusual or surprising; difficult to understand or explain."

I'm still not sure.

Cataclistal. Only because I haven't pinged them in awhile.

Tanya notices something, the grip, it is not only something out of just affection, but also fear. These People?, Tanya immediately looks around, searching for disturbance until she sees two men, about 200 meters from them, running away in fear. Only two of them? and only a couple of hundreds, I should be able to kil-I will never be able to accept that you kill... The sound of Rose's plead heard inside Tanya's mind. Meanwhile, Rose grip her arms ever closer, Tanya's arm contacts Rose's chest, Tanya blushes a little. Can't kill huh? I should just notify the security department around here later. Looking at such a scared Rose, like a kid lost by herself, Tanya pats Rose's hand, and occasionally kiss her forehead, "It is alright Rose, I am here. I am sorry I leave you here alone without much thought. I promise I will never leave you here again." Tanya apologizes, "Shall we go again?", Rose nods.

Tanya and Rose walks like a couple, under the midday sun. Because of its temperature, Tanya pulls out her umbrella from her bag, and for additional excuses, Tanya use this moment to grab Rose by the shoulder, closing herself to her. "I...I don't want you to feel the hot sun, It will damage your skin Rose." said Tanya with a giggle. The Environment of their surroundings has changed, from a place where lower class, merchants, and shops into high-rise buildings, high-class restaurant, and oldish antique building, Businessman using tuxedo with a lady or two, wearing the fashionable dress with high-heels. they have reached the town centre.

Unlike the citizens they met before where the merchants offer their merchandise, The People here are quite individualistic. They don't cheer nor greet each other. The only people talking only here is only seen in one of the restaurants through the glass. Whenever they see Tanya, they'll greet and bow to her, like the empress she is. Tanya nods to them and just moving along the way. Meanwhile, Tanya and Rose go to a flower shop. After looking for flowers after flowers, searching every spot possible, she managed to buy the one she wanted. A Bouquet full of White Rose. "For you, My Rose-chan," Tanya presents her the bouquet, "Rose symbolize beauty and the personification of your name, White symbolizes purity, just like you ;)" grins Tanya. She doesn't hesitate to kiss Rose in the cheek again, "You are so cute, Rose..."

Back from the flower shop and walking more, a couple of minutes later, they finally reach a large building, they are now in front of a lobby. "We have reached this place, Rose, Let's come in, The Auction will begin," says Tanya as she looks at her.

Rose...She must know the truth

Walking with Tanya, Rose soon noticed a change in the scenery that surrounded them as they entered another section on the city as the number of people went down significantly, the few remaining much differently dressed, and a the structures that surrounded them began to look to be in a much better condition. "I wonder why.." Rose asked herself, but she didn't care, for no longer were the people staring, shouting or trying to touch her, instead, they took steps to avoid contact with her. Rose couldn't help but smile at the gesture as Tanya pulled her even closer and covered her from the blazing sun, "My dear Lady Taniyaa, thank you" she replied softly, her voice still somewhat shaky from the earlier encounter.

Suddenly, to Rose's surprise, Tanya takes a turn and enters a building pulling Rose with her, and as they come through the doorway, they are greeted by the scent of flowers, many many flowers. Overwhelmed by the amount of beautiful flowers, Rose let's herself be dragged along throughout the place by Tanya as she looks at the myriad of flowers, one after the other prettier than the preceding. "How can there be so many, and so different?" she curiously asked herself, thinking back home to Sartinaynia, where flowers were abundant, but of very limited types. While Rose is distracted, Tanya suddenly stop, almost causing Rose to crash into her, narrowly avoiding the collision. Turning to look at Tanya, Rose is greeted by a large bouquet of beautiful roses, white in color and wonderful in scent, and as Rose is staring in awe at the display, Tanya explains their meaning, but Rose doesn't listen, she's already in love with their beauty, "Roses back home aren't white, but these... are beautiful" she thinks to herself as she accepts the gift from her love with her free hand, pulling them close to her chest, "Thank youu, my dearest Lady Taniyaa" she says quietly yet happily, her own appreciation very clear in her voice, "they are beautiful, I di-" she stops herself as Tanya places her lips on her cheek again, losing her words completely, but she felt much better.

Still holding her new flowers to her chest, Rose and Tanya left the flower shop, and within short, they arrived at a large building, "We have reached this place, Rose, let's come in, the auction will begin" Tanya's words left Rose somewhat confused, "Auction? What is auction?"

Welcome to The North Pacific!

Welcome to The North Pacific (TNP)! You might be a new nation to the game or in TNP, and you don't really know what is going on or where to start. Or you may be an experienced member but have several questions regarding some of the activities going on. Whatever the case, we have put together this handbook that you can use to familiarize yourself with the game and TNP, and to make the most out of your time in NationStates (NS).

The handbook has a number of different sections. The index below will help you navigate them. If you have any questions not answered in this handbook, feel free to send a telegram to Delegate Kaschovia, Minister of Home Affairs Lionsroar, or any of the Gameside Advocates and Mentors. They will be glad to help! Additionally, we are always looking to improve this handbook, so let us now if you think something should be added or changed.

Onboarding Checklist

This section covers the very first items you should check off as a newcomer to the game and TNP.

  • Why you should be in TNP: Selecting a region for your nation is one of the most important decisions you will make in the game. We hope you will make TNP your home, and this link explains why. If you have already decided to stay here, that's great!

  • Join the regional forum: The forum is where most government and roleplay activities take place. Registering an account is very easy. You should get yourself an account so that you can check out what's going on and join in on the fun.

  • Join our regional chat: Our Discord server is where our members hang out and chat about the game and real life subjects. You can join and introduce yourself to our community. Additionally, if you have any questions, asking on Discord is the fastest way to get help.

  • Apply for citizenship: Citizenship is your ticket to TNP. As a citizen, you can vote to elect our Delegate and other government officials, hold them accountable, and even run for these positions yourself. All you need to apply is a nation in TNP and an account on the forum.

Ways to Get Involved

Now that you have cleared the basics, you must be looking for things to do. Below are some of the opportunities TNP offers.

  • Get involved in the government: There are many ways to get involved in the government straight away after joining TNP. You can write the regional laws in the Regional Assembly. You can take part in the day-to-day running of the region in the Executive Staff. Or, you can protect TNP at home and abroad in the North Pacific Army.

  • Get involved in the World Assembly: Joining the World Assembly (WA) is one of the best ways to empower your nation, especially in TNP. Thanks to our WA Development Program, as a WA member you can determine international laws, have one of the highest endorsement counts in the entire game, and even win awards!

  • Get involved in RolePlay: We have not one, but two vibrant RolePlay (RP) universes, Eras and Strangereal. Each comes with its own map, chronology, and physics laws. If you commit to being active in RP, you can claim a spot in either universe's map, and join others in weaving stories about your nation and its role in the world.

  • Get involved in trading cards: Our regional cards guild provides many resources you can take advantage of to increase the value of your deck, including several offerings of free cards. As a member of the guild, you can also participate in many other cards-related activities, including themed collections, pull events, and regular publications.

I don't play Pokemans. You can keep them. But I will trade in exchange for the deed to Territorio di Nessuno's house. If you could get possession of such an item.

That sounds tricky, what if I get you the deeds to someone else's house?

like maybe the 10th poster before me, I'm hoping it's not me. Well if it is then I can just edit it and no one will notice.

I love it! It's an improvement over my current house.

Pro tip: Don't light dynamite indoors.

Well that's great!

Also why shouldn't I light dynamite indoors? That sounds like a fun activity to do when it's raining, or during a blackout.
