But Hiei knew a certain bespectacled brunette haired android who did already have such information.

The New United Carolinas has declared an early state of emergency, as Hurricane Victor begins to rip through the Republic of Achipel.

All cities within 60 miles of the Coast have been asked to evacuate their citizens, including the Cities of Wilmington, Jacksonville, Moon Arbor, Palmetto City, Myrtle Beach, Aerbourne, Savannah, the Entirety of the Outerbanks, and more. The National Carolinian Railway has offered free transport into inland cities.

Various Airlines and Spacelines, including Carolinian Airlines, Magnolia Airways, United Airlines, Pan-American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Air Karteria, Delta Airlines, Carolinian Spacelines, Crusader Spacelines, and more, have offered their support in the evacuation as well, providing routes to inland cities and Red Dust.

The cost of Damages is expected to be in the trillions, and inland cities are expected to be flooded as well. Meteorologist and Storm Chasers expect Myrtle Beach, Wilmington, and Morehead City to be the hardest hit.

The Department of Internal Affairs, as well as the Department of Foreign Affairs, tells the world that while Hurricanes are simply a part of life in the New United Carolinas, that all aid and donations are greatly appreciated. We ask that you hold our country, as well as the nations of Achipel, New spiedska, and Kurater sugoyonkordia in your thoughts and prayers.





New Raleigh, OLN

30 Hours before hurricane touchdown

The Palmetto House was in a panic, and Ariana was in the very center of it. She found herself surrounded by various Representatives and Senators, as they voted together on how to handle the sudden migration of the population, as well as what to do for repairs, the displaced families, the injured, and the deceased.

Ariana's parents were being transported from Jacksonville to New Raleigh to stay with her in the Presidential House. She worried deeply for them, but now she had to focus on the greater good of the Country.

Ever since Hurricane Amelia completely ravaged Palmetto City, the country has taken hurricane protection measures seriously. At the beginning of each year, the Palmetto Mansion devises a plan for hurricanes. When one actually hit, during the evacuation process, the Palmetto Mansion revises the plan to ensure it fits the needs of the current situation. So far it was good, and the session was about to end.

Though Ariana knew anything was possible. And if she made one wrong move, it could potentially cost the lives of hundreds if not thousands, as well as cost her political career.

Official message from the Humanitarian Aid Department of the Royal Ministry of Foreign Affairs ~ Regio Ministero degli Affari Esteri, Dipartimento per gli Aiuti Umanitari

The Federal Elective Monarchy of the North Italian Union will send humanitarian aid, in its capacity to the nations of the Americas that will be afflicted by the incoming Hurricane. We hope this gesture will be accepted by both allies and non allies countries and seen as purely act of mercy not geopolitics.

“Very well, we have at least five different schematics, depending on the type of weapon. Personally, I like the A280-CFE due to its customization from a pistol, to a rifle, to a sniper rifle. Perhaps you may be interested in that?”

BREAKING NEWS

MERDEKA PALACE | Jakarta, Harimau

It is a somber day in the capital. Merderka Palace, the official residence of the Harimauan president, was bombed earlier this afternoon. There have been an estimated 120 dead and over 300 injured, most of which include government employees and tourists visiting the palace. The attacks have been claimed by The Golden Raggiana, a Papuan terrorist group advocating for Papuan nationalism. President Yuwano Rakondo, who was away on a family vacation in Kiak National Park, has condemned the attacks and has declared a state of emergency in the capital.

Old Memories - Part 1

Kapteyn System

Raphtalia’s RZ-2 jumped out of hyperspace outside of Nubila. There was an asteroid field nearby and she wanted to put the ship through its paces. ”I’m not quite the daredevil Lysithea is but it never hurts to get a little practice in...as long as I don’t scratch the paint job.”

As was expected of an interceptor, the ship was quick and responded quickly to her touch. But as she was about to take off, her sensors picked up another ship, one located in the asteroid field. When she saw the shape of the ship, her blood suddenly went cold.

She recognized it immediately, despite not have seen it for almost a decade. The ship in question was a small freighter, shaped almost like a diamond with gun emplacements on the top and bottom (illegal, of course). The ship’s owner was Redarr Zapal, a bounty hunter who was still wanted by Ventuan and Kapteyn authorities.

Raphtalia remembered his ship years ago, for he was paid by the CIC to help round up slaves that had happened to escape off-planet. Most of the strong ones he had to put in carbonite. Sure, he only got paid to do his job, but his hands were still as dirty.

What he was doing here, she didn’t know but if she didn’t act now, she would never get another chance to bring him in. There was no time to call for backup. She moved closer to the freighter before opening a channel. “Redarr Zapal, in the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, I’m placing you under arrest for trafficking and conspiring with an enemy faction.”

Hello and welcome to our three newest residents, Uoriota (already a citizen, wow!), Golfgang, and The flying grain silo! Though y'all should have gotten a telegram with a link to this, allow me to redirect you to this dispatch if you wish to know more about the Indies.


Welcome to the New West Indies!

What is this place?

Our community is a dedicated group of roleplayers, government workers, lawmakers, comedy junkies, flag-makers, designers, and many more!

Founded on March 7th, 2018 by Achipel, the New West Indies (NWI) initially created a modern roleplay canon that has continued ever since. Nations began solely in the Caribbean area of the map, but as the community grew (and grow quickly it did), the roleplay became more complex with it, becoming more Post-Modern and spawning a variety of new adventures.

Vexillology (flag-making) is at the heart of the region. Experienced creators like Cymiopolis, New united carolinas, and Portinabia (among others) frequently show off their skills.

Government and lawmaking have recently begun to take hold, as many experienced members debate potential reforms and changes to regional institutions and affairs.

Members often discuss politics, memes, games, and other topics on our Regional Message Board (RMB) and especially Discord. Anyone who follows the rules and wants to have a good time in their area of interest is welcome here!


What should I do first?

Apply for Citizenship!


You should start your New West Indies experience by completing the Citizenship Application, which will allow you to experience roleplay, lawmaking, and other engaging activities! Once you fill it out completely, relevant authorities will inform you if it is approved.

Make sure to answer every question! To decide what RP claim you want (if desired), go to the Regional Map – make certain that what you want isn't already taken (is any color besides grey). If you are having trouble with the app, contact a regional officer.

Explore our Community!


Our Linkdiscord server is the best place to start – you can begin mingling with the citizenry and ask questions if you're confused. You can also introduce yourself on the RMB as well.

Our Constitution outlines our laws and values – every citizen should read it and be familiar with the rules of the Indies road.

Speaking of the RMB, getting your feet wet in roleplay is quite important if you want to participate. Whether you're a newer player or experienced roleplayer, it's beneficial to get your first post out there and introduce yourself in- and out-of-character.

Finally, you should consider accessing the following resources for knowledge and further assistance:

Regional Master Dispatch

| Where you can find links to every regional resource, including many described in this document

Glossary of Terms

| Are you confused by NationStates lingo or our region's terminology? This ought to help


How do I get involved?

Roleplay!


Roleplay (RP) is the main attraction for new and old members alike. Start by creating your nation's basic lore; where is it on the map? What are its socioeconomic challenges? What are its politics like? These questions and others will guide you through creating an overview dispatch (such as this one) if you are so inclined. Otherwise, begin diplomatically engaging and describing the issues your nation faces on the RMB, so everyone can start getting familiar.

Once you are settled into the canon, branch out! Create some personable characters, discuss IC legislation in the Union of Nations, make an alliance, or create your own business! If you are so inclined, and become familiar with our guidelines, you could even make your own roleplay for the region! The possibilities are truly at your leisure (barring something extraneous).

See below for further assistance.

Guide to NWI Roleplay

| To start getting acquainted with how RP functions in our region, see here

Current RP Canon

| Introduction to the story so far

Roleplay Information

| Where all regional roleplay resources are housed in one place

Participate in the General Assembly!


Once you become a citizen, you are automatically a member of the NWI General Assembly (GA), our regional lawmaking body. As such, you have the opportunity to not only vote on and discuss legislation, but you can also propose your own! We have many experienced members that can assist in the process, especially for newer members. The best way to begin learning about the GA and discuss law is to join our Linkdiscord and go to the GA channel.

Constitution

| Supreme NWI Law

Passed Resolutions

| A repository of all passed GA legislation

Resolution Templates

| How to design and code resolutions

Contribute to the Regional Government!


Our Executive Branch is made of the Secretary-General, the head of government, who every six months (once elected) appoints a cabinet of four Secretaries that make up the "Secretariat." These nations execute GA law, protect the region, and moderate certain regional affairs.

Once you become more familiar with our region, any citizen can run for office, whether that be the Secretary-General or General Assembly President! Additionally, you can be appointed to a Secretarial position or a lower role within one of the Executive departments.

Even if you do not want to work in government, it is your prerogative as a citizen to vote in elections, which increases representation and makes government work better for the people as a result.

Join the World Assembly!


Joining the world assembly not only provides many benefits to you, but also helps the region in numerous ways.

Once you've joined the world assembly, you should endorse the current delegate (Karteria), which allows the delegate to have more sway in World Assembly voting and further secures the region. You can also discuss current WA topics and legislation with other members of the NWI in our WA channel on Linkdiscord.

See "2.4 What is the World Assembly?" near the bottom of this document for instructions on how to attain WA membership.


What are issues?

Issues are the key to any initial NationStates experience. To access them, click the button in the top left corner of your page that says "issues." From there, you can answer the critical questions for your nation however you please.

Depending on how you answer issues, they will affect your nation's "stats" and potentially enact "policies." See the toolbar on your nation's page (underneath your motto) for more information about each effect.

Issues have no major bearing on regional roleplay, but they can give you ideas for how to formulate your nation in-character. Just answered an issue enacting euthanasia, or banning nuclear power? Why not do it in RP too!

If you don't want to answer issues, or you want to answer them more/less frequently, you can adjust the duration between each one in your nation's settings.


What is a dispatch?

Dispatches are canvases for nations to express anything they wish in a public setting. You can write, roleplay, campaign, design art, or anything in between – all through a simple dispatch.

Andersswhal
A group of bright eyed Kunkengan conscripts jog around the Volkspark, their matching dark green tracksuits nearly blending in with the freshly wet grass. A young girl gazes with awe at the statue Rosa Luxemburg, plainly dressed and speaking with fervor at an invisible crowd. Nearby the girl's brother makes faces at a statue of Marx.

Elsewhere, a protective shell of plastic mesh and iron scaffolding surround the entrance to the Ministry of Culture, recently billed for extensive renovations. The steel-toed boots of a group of construction workers clatter as they pace up and down a wooden scaffolding, music coarsely pushing out of static from small portable radios.

Deputy Cultural Minister Eva Weis, having found herself extra busy after the departure of Minister Kessler on his tour with the chancellor, was flustered to find the main entrance to the ministry sealed off.

Struggling to hold both her leaking stack of folders and her coffee, she looked around in search of someone who could explain the closure of the entrance, settling eventually for a random construction worker who was making his way down from the scaffolds.

"Hey, whats with the door?"

"Whatdya mean ma'am?"

"Why is it sealed off? It was open yesterday."

"Oh that door. Yeah, we closed it off this morning, the traffic in and out of it was in a dangerous spot." The construction worker tilted back his hardhat to scratch at his molting scalp, "You guys got another entrance round the side dont ya?" he continued.

"Yeah, but there's no way for me to get to my office from that entrance. It's basically another building."

"Oh yeah, we're gonna try and knock down those separating walls sometime this week. Pretty stupid design if you ask me..." the construction worker trailed off and began staring up at the towering building.

"I don't think you understand what I'm saying, my staff can't get into work if that door is closed. I need to get in through there."

"Dont know what to tell you miss." said the construction worker, throwing up his plaster covered hands.

"Just... step aside." Eva fumed, thrusting her coffee into the construction worker's hands.

She marched towards the door and began stripping the warning tape from its surface.

"I have way too much work to be done this week and I'm not gonna let some utterly useless, bloated budget, deficit doubling renovations get in my..." unable to finish her sentence, Eva was abruptly cut off as a small wrench fell square on top of her head knocking her out cold.

"LOOK OUT BELOW!" came the delayed warning as Eva's unconscious body lay crumpled at the entrance.

"Hey Ed!" the construction worker called up at his colleague who had just shouted the warning, "Can you believe I warned the dumb broad!"

Announcing Embassies and Nuclear Collaboration with Forest

Dear readers, may you be New West Indian, Forester, or simply curious,

It is a great pleasure and honour to announce that, following a landslide poll in Forest and acceptance by the Department of Foreign Affairs, an embassy will be opened between Forest and the New West Indies. The Embassy will hopefully mark the beginning of a close partnership between our two regions.

Forest is the kind of region about which one can only offer praise. They are a large but tight-knit and compassionate community; they uphold principles of democracy and equality between nations. Most of all, they have had previous contacts with Evergreen Conifer, and have shown particular interest in the well being of the Coniferan community here. This is a region that has shown that it cares for those it calls its friends, even when they are outside their borders.

This would have never been possible without the hard work of Turbeaux/Green Bowers, known here as Forest Breeze, who has been particularly supportive of the embassy, and was of invaluable help in furthering the NWI's candidacy. It fills me with joy that they accepted to represent Forest here, and it is without hesitation that I receive their credentials to be the Ambassador of Forest to the New West Indies.

In the New West Indies, the Honourable Secretary of Foreign Affairs Funky Goats deserves to be called an architect of this partnership, having dialogued with Forester representatives and shown leadership in the Coniferan Remnant community by collecting the thoughts of fellow Coniferans on the embassy with Forest. Make sure to gift a shrub to our favourite goat next time you stumble upon them in the lush meadows of the Indies!

To serve as our Ambassador to Forest, it made the most sense to appoint a former Coniferan with knowledge and understanding of Evergreen Conifer's positions, and someone who understands the value of Culture in a partnership. Central ninjago city, a Co-Founder of Evergreen Conifer and a former Minister of Culture there, stands as an obvious choice. On the advice of Secretary Funky Goats, I am proud to accredit Central Ninjago City (also known as Craei Theau) as the Ambassador of the New West Indies to Forest.

I will also take this occasion to congratulate Ruinenlust for ascending to Forest's delegacy. It is a secret to nobody that Ransium left a particularly large pair of shoes to fill. Ruinenlust is, by all measures, one of the most capable individuals to fill it, and their long time commitment to Forest, coupled with their diplomatic skill and experience, makes them likely to be a great successor to Ransium. On the behalf of the entirety of the New West Indies, the Office of the Secretary-General wishes Ruinenlust and Forest a prosperous and constructive time at the Delegacy.

Citizens of our two regions will very soon be able to see the benefits of this friendship. Mount Seymour/Somyrion was generous enough to invite the New West Indies to join The Potato Alliance at the next N-Day5 event. N-Day is a Nationstates event that involves a nuclear war, where regions can team up and either protect each other, bomb each other to oblivion, and often both. To better understand what this impending Nuclear war is, check out these two dispatches:

page=dispatch/id=874170

page=dispatch/id=1422773

The Potato Alliance is a super-faction with many different nations from different friendly regions, from our friends in Forest to Spiritus to the North and South Pacifics. All are friends, and all are determined to make it to the first row of NS' ranking. While you will all get more information very soon, reading the above dispatch will already give you an idea of what will be happening in late September.

With that, I hope you will join me in congratulating the new ambassadors and celebrating the establishment of Embassies with this cultural and environmental powerhouse, but also a adorable patch of green in the multiverse that is Forest!

They work for the “austranisian international telecommunications association” An austranisian spy network and they have one mission to go to Paxos and take a ship to the cloning factory in antiope minor and to find a way to make clones for austranisia they will arrive in Paxos in 2 weeks.

“You’re going to have to be a little more specific, Captain Ozzel,” Lysithea said. “What exactly are we dealing with?”

“The locals in the system call them ‘the Legion,’” Ozzel replied via hologram. “They’re a group of semiautonomous lifeforms that apparently used to be buried under most of the planets. We were lucky to hold off their fighters but they have large dreadnoughts as well, almost as big as a Praetor.”

”This went from an exploration mission to a liberation mission. It’s happening all over again...” “Are your forces out of harms way?”

“For the moment, we’ve retreated back to the edge of the system.”

“Very well, I’ll send in two fleets to deal with the issue.”

“Thank you Chancellor. We’ll inform you if anything changes.”

The hologram disappeared before the door opened and Raphtalia came in, looking slightly exhausted. “Raph? What’s wrong? I thought you were taking a trip to Nubila?”

“I was...until I ran into that bounty hunter.”

“Bounty hunter?”

“Redarr Zapal.”

“He was in Kapteyn? Did he say why?”

“I’m afraid not...he’s dead.”

“You...hold on, maybe you should start from the beginning.”

“I encountered him in an asteroid field. I figured I could trick him into surrendering, but that didn’t work. I had to chase him through an entire asteroid field while dodging seismic charges. I hate seismic charges.”

“That’s...wow...and you blew up his ship?”

“I wasn’t trying to, but apparently a concussion missile did the trick. Still, I’m not sad he’s gone.”

“...So you like the new ship?”

“Flies like a bird. I just rather not put it through that again.”

The anarchist communist

A New Day in Hell

The leader sat in his seat overlooking Uneinigkeit, or in nations abroad, The Anarchist Communist. He sighed as he overlooked his capital, thinking of the sheer stagnance that had hit this place. It was positive, the population had increased, the economy had been sitting comfortably, and people showed no signs of worsening crime rates. But it wasn't actively revolutionizing the world, unlike his diplomatic allies abroad, instead it was sitting still.

Then the leader had an idea; it wasn't bad, no not at all. Energy here on earth was, admittedly, draining a bit from the sheer amount of life on it. People had been using interstellar energy for a long time now, but that seemed to be very costly as of the moment. But there was some decade old labs far off in the north, just sitting there frozen waiting to be used ever since the civil unrest and war. It would take millions to simply turn on, but if it worked, the return would be billions!

“I was...until I ran into that bounty hunter.”

“Bounty hunter?”

“Redarr Zapal.”

“He was in Kapteyn? Did he say why?”

“I’m afraid not...he’s dead.”

“You...hold on, maybe you should start from the beginning.”

“I encountered him in an asteroid field. I figured I could trick him into surrendering, but that didn’t work. I had to chase him through an entire asteroid field while dodging seismic charges. I hate seismic charges.”

“That’s...wow...and you blew up his ship?”

“I wasn’t trying to, but apparently a concussion missile did the trick. Still, I’m not sad he’s gone.”

“...So you like the new ship?”

“Flies like a bird. I just rather not put it through that again.”

(They’re machines.)

That’s what the necrons are. They used to be a Dammes species then they became machines and slept for 60 million years. They’re awesome man.

Official Message from the Supreme Chancellor

My fellow Ventuans. Not long ago, I explained about our plan to expand our borders into the Atlas System. What I didn’t know at the time was the threat lurking underneath.

Centuries ago, a race of semiautonomous machines, known as the Legion, walked the lands of Atlas and for reasons we do not know, they disappeared into the earth, thought to never be seen again. But now, something, or someone, has awakened these beings and are now attacking the worlds of Atlas.

While it may not seem like it now, the Legion are a potential threat to the galaxy and they are quite capable of traveling outside the system. That is why I have authorized the Ventuan Navy to deploy and engage the Legion in Atlas. There is no government, no defense force present that can oppose them. That is why I’m asking for the help of our brave men and women, to protect not just Ventus Prime, but the galaxy. Our galaxy.

Galactic City

“Chancellor, Miss Asada is here to see you.”

“Let her in,” Lysithea replied. It wasn’t long before the door opened and Sinon came in, dressed a little more formal than usual. “Sinon, how are you feeling?”

“It’s amazing what a few days of downtime does for the body,” Sinon grinned. “But I’m feeling better, especially now that I have to worry about some nightmare robot coming after you.”

“Believe me Sinon, I know the feeling,” Lysithea said as she cane over and gave her friend a hug. “So what brings you here?”

“Well, a lot has been on my mind,” Sinon said. “I know it may be more proper to ask my former superiors but...I’m thinking of getting back into the army.”

“Really? I thought you were done being a soldier.”

“Are you done being a pilot?”

“Fair point...it never does leave you, does it? Anyway, does this have anything to do with Atlas?”

“Maybe a little. Maybe it’s making me reminisce of the good ol’ days.”

“It is eerily similar, though from the sound of things, I’d rather face the CIC. I assume you want to reunite with your old squad?”

“Are they still active? I haven’t really talked to them in years...”

“Most of them have been shifted around but I think I can pull a few strings.”

“I owe you one Lys.”

“But are you sure about this? It’s not like we’re drafting everyone we can find.”

“Yeah...being a mercenary is one thing but...I miss the old days...and admittedly I miss my friends.”

“I’m sure they miss you too. I’ll see what I can do and have you all reunite on the next transport.” She then held out her hand. “It’s good to have you back, Captain Asada.”

Sinon smiled as she shook it. “It’s good to be back, Chancellor.”
