The 2023 Snap Election
A strange atmosphere swept across The Vapian Republic as the polls opened across the mainland. P&P voters were skeptical of their own party, despite the party declaring their intentions to replace the current Prime Minister if re-elected. NU was still deciding between its 2 primary candidates, which went against the norm of having an already established primary candidate by the time of the election.
But as the hours drew on, the election grew more and more clear. The lack of confidence in the P&P outweighed the indecisiveness of the NU. As the polls drew to a close, the NU knew they had secured the victory.
The Final Tally: NU wins 219 seats, handing them 55% of the vote, and the majority in the election. Second place goes to P&P, winning 117, or 29% of the vote. In distant last place is a tie between the Royal Patriots and the Communal Brotherhood, winning 32 seats each, or 8% of the vote.
With this victory, the NU now must decide on who the Prime Minister will be. The two primary challengers for the office is hardliner Matteo Desantis, and moderate Emilio Luciano. A immediate snap vote is behind hastily cobbled together to be held the next day.
About last week, one of my neighbors next door passed away at the age of 93 from old age. Since then, the elder decided to move out and I was able to get one more shot of their cat Amber.

After Nikolaos “Santa” Greatien, the founder of Greatly, escaped Poorly with a small group of refugees, one of Poorly’s neighbors decided that they had had enough. They bought a massive superweapon from the Arnatic Conglomerate; then turned it against them. That is why this cursed place is a sort of artificial island off of the shore of Greatly, why so much of it lies below the water. The weapon was so powerful that it shifted the very tides; sinking Poorly entirely while allowing the island that Greatly was established on to be uncovered from the sea. Everyone - the Conglomerate, the arms dealers, the slaves - drowned. It is said that, if you stand perfectly still and silent, you can hear their chains and manacles, still clamped around their skeletons, being rattled by the tide far below - or perhaps by their ghosts. The metal creaks beneath Haym’s feet as he shifts his footing towards the ledge.
Greatly was founded to prevent anything like Poorly from ever happening again, to prevent Nikolaos Greatien from needing to gain the nickname “Santa”. In fact, do you even know why he gained that nickname? A slight edge of anger has crept into his voice. It was not because of his generosity or caring, no. It was because by age 40, his lungs had been so thoroughly caked and covered with coal dust that he could barely creak out a word. Even worse, his hands were much too cramped and arthritic to even write. Can you believe it? One of the greatest philosophical minds in history, and we may never have known his greatest revelations or philosophies because of the infernal machine of war.
And in order to prevent war, I believe that we must continue going towards peace. If we must become radical to steer others towards moderation, then so be it. We must establish a state of absolute pacifism, free from the worries of war - or at least, that is what I believed. But now? Now... I am not so sure whether I was correct at all.
He finally turns back to the soldiers, and his eyes have dimmed. He looks exhausted. You know, my Canadian friends, I was the one who shifted your nation towards the course of pacifism. I was the one who swayed the vote to attempt to ensure peace. Now, let us see if I have succeeded. He lifts one foot backwards, off of the edge of the dizzying drop behind him, and gestures to one of the soldiers. You, please - convey the principles of pacifism to me as you understand them. I must know whether what I attempted... well, whether it has succeeded or failed.

Seconds ago: Following new legislation in Eraver, people wouldn't be seen dead without their guns.
I chose the 4th option and I removed the No Guns policy but in schools in Eraver or the homes of Eraver, students must not use guns.

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.
