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.

Regional Publications

Through our regional nation, The Northern Light, we post a number of regular regional publications. You can follow them to stay up to speed with what's going on in TNP.

  • The Northern Lights: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, this is our regional newspaper. It includes both general news and op-ed articles about various aspects of TNP and NS.

  • The North Star: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, The North Star informs TNPers of current internal matters and government activities.

  • Regional Assembly Digest: Produced by the Speaker's Office, the digest focuses on news about the legislative and other business of the Regional Assembly.

  • Information for WA Voters: Produced by the Ministry of WA Affairs, IFVs provide vote recommendations and analysis about all resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly or Security Council.

  • Weekly Anthologies: Produced by the Gameside Advocates, this series highlights dispatches produced by TNP nations.

  • Northern Broadcasting Service: Produced by the Ministry of Radio, this is our very own regional radio station in which our broadcasters provide their insight into current events in TNP and Nationstates.

Other Useful Links

Below are miscellaneous resources useful for all nations.

  • Government index: Get to know your government by using this list of all government officials in TNP. If you have questions or suggestions about any aspect of the regional governance, feel free to send a telegram to the corresponding government official.

  • Law index: This is a compilation of all legal documents currently in force in TNP. This includes our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which form the basis of our government.

  • RMB Guidelines: Posting on the regional message board (RMB) is a great way to socialize and get to know other TNP nations. Just make sure to follow these guidelines.

  • World Assembly voting policy: Look here to learn how TNP's Delegate casts the regional vote on World Assembly resolutions, and how you can help determine that vote.

  • Embassy policy: If you are here as a diplomat from another region, please take a look at our policy for in-game and forum embassies.

  • Recruitment policy: If you are here to recruit for another region, please take a look at our policy on permissible and prohibited types of recruitment.

The banner of The Royal Rangers was flying above the capital building. The streets were filled with people, partying and what not. Ankh-Morpork has forgotten their loss of yesterday and were partying in the victory over Lotion Empire. Alcohol was flowing and the people were happily listening to the music being blared from the top of the capital building. All of a sudden though, the music cut out and began playing from a different place; The Royal Stadium.

Declan McGallagher was ready to make his appearance before the press and his people. He kept playing music to draw in the people like sailors to sirens. When everyone was either in their seats or standing on the field, he stood up to speak. The whole stadium got quiet when he appeared on the big screen.

“People of Fizban, it was a pleasure to watch your team and their victory today. However, we cannot solely remember the victories, but how we got there and the places we went that brought us to this point. I would like to commemorate everyone’s efforts last night in the game against Grossvietnam. I would also like to congratulate the team today for their victory over Lotion Empire. However, this is just a game and no hard feelings should come between nations over the outcome of a game. Be ready for the game against Great algerstonia tomorrow, and I expect everyone to be working at their normal times. Let this be a warning and a message. Curfew set to 1:30. Good night all.”

With that, the plasma screens darkened again but then came back to life with footage of the DJ busting some tunes. As the party continued, Declan and his cabinet returned to the capital building and had their secret service mingle in the crowds to make sure nothing was going to go wrong. One can never be quite sure...

Holdac Government PSA

I, Chancellor Holdo, am proud to announce 45 years in office. I am thankful to the citizens for helping me win the past 15 elections, and I would like to announce the state of the nation. Our economy is flourishing better than ever, and one of the many changes being corporations taking over all military operations. The government is finally able to focus on more important things, like education and industry. Holdo Capitol is growing as a city, with more layers being added on top and the skyscrapers growing taller. Our uranium industry has reached record sales, and insurance becoming more popular than ever.

Holdac now, Holdac forever. -Madame Holdo, Chancellor of Holdac

I am no longer updating the map. Or, I stopped updating it a year ago, but people keep asking for places on the map, hence this disclaimer. So you'll have to go find whoever actually takes map requests these days, I don't know whom.

Here are the maps of Puczovska and other nations.

-
If anyone would like to stake a claim in for some land on the map then TG New Trisone, Edwerlantin, Puczovska, Angshire, Lotion Empire, or British Bayonet

Claims must be:
A1. Reasonable enough to be put onto the map. No beginner nation will be the size of Puczovska, or higher, for their claim. If you want more accurate claims and you have Paint.net, beginner claims have a limit of 30k pixels at the equator. Unless you give up land from your main nation, your secondary nation will have to be at 15k pixels or less.
A2. Picky is good. Feel free to request changes to borders if you aren't happy with them.
A3. This map's planet is the same size as Earth, so I won't be making the map any bigger. If Earth can fit 200 nations, so can mine.
A4. I am not adding new territory to the map. Use the existing land more efficiently and we won't need any more.
A5. Existing nations on the map cannot claim unclaimed land (except in exceptional circumstances).
A6. Not Glacea nor any body of water.
A7. If a returning member to the map then for x being your old nation size in pixels upon removal: New pixel claim limit = 0.5(x - 30k).

Map removal is strictly allowed to only happen when the following criteria are met:
B1. AFRP, or Away From RP (not RPing for 25 days, 20 days in the case of people on other RMB maps)
B2. RMB RP Ban (if one clause states "therefore, the RMB Cartography Staff shall remove <nation> from the map")
B3. Cease to Exist (when the nation dies in the 28th day. Exceptions apply.)

Note: The staff updates the map once a week, every Saturday. Because of the week long intervals, it is possible someone may have claimed land you wanted before the next update is released. Please plan accordingly.


Map Version: 226

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the Pucz."
