Greetings!
Paganism is brilliant and that is all I'll say on this subject.
Stalin, oh -snip-! I gotta run!
I wrote anti stalin papers and called for zhukov to replace you!
Welcome! Youʻve been busy! Already signed up for the World Assembly, huh? Iʻll link some relevant links to factbooks that can orient you, if youʻd like the help. Be sure to be familiar with the RMB rules if you plan on using this message board regularly.
Feel free to reach out here in the RMB or to the officers if you need any help! I hope you enjoy your time in the South Pacific!
Hello there, and congratulations on founding your very own nation! We know you’ve probably got your hands full governing millions of citizens, but we also wanted to introduce you to your region. A region is simply a community of nations, and every new nation like yourself starts out in one. If you’re reading this, that means you’re in the region of the South Pacific (TSP). That’s us — welcome!
But what can you do in a region? We’re glad you asked! Regions are a great way to get to know and play NationStates with other players. Every region has something different to offer, but here in the South Pacific, some of the things we’re known for include…
The oldest extant democracy on NationStates, running since 2003, with a stable, democratic, and highly-developed government;
A regional military that’s one of the leading forces defending other regions from attack;
Vibrant roleplay universes, where players build up the lore of their country; and
A friendly and welcoming community of players just like you.
No matter what you’re interested in, we’re sure there’s something for you. The choice is yours!
If you have any questions about NationStates or our region, feel free to join our Discord server or regional forums to chat with other members of our community. We'd be happy to help you!

How do I become a citizen?
Simply make an account on our regional forum, then head over to the Getting Involved wizard, check the "I want to apply for citizenship" box (as well as any other areas you're interested in), and follow the instructions there.
Protect innocent regions across NationStates
Our military offers exciting, fast-paced gameplay and the chance to defend innocent regions and communities all across NationStates from unjustified attacks.
NationStates doesn’t have wars between nations (although you can roleplay it, look below for more info), but it does have wars between regions. Our regional military, the South Pacific Special Forces (SPSF), is one of NationStates' premier defender militaries, which means we work to protect innocent regions from attack by hostile invaders. It's a great way to get in on some exciting, fast-paced action with (and against) other players while protecting innocent communties across the game!
How do I enlist in the military?
Simply make an account on our regional forum, then head over to the Getting Involved wizard, check the "I'd like to join the SPSF" box (as well as any other areas you're interested in), and follow the instructions there.
Shape our regional laws
The Assembly is our regional legislature. It consists of legislators who create, debate, and vote on laws covering the rights of citizens of our region, our foreign policy towards other regions, the way our regional officer powers are allocated, and a lot more.
As a legislator, you can craft, debate, and vote on laws just like in a real government. The Assembly offers rich, lively political debate and is the perfect venue for you to voice your beliefs and shape our region. You can learn a ton about writing laws and dealing with legisative procedures by participating in the Assembly.
How do I join?
Become a citizen (look above for how), then follow the instructions here.
Build up your nation's lore and history
Many NationStates players enjoy roleplay (RP), where you get to build up the lore of your country and its people with other players. Whether you’re looking to write stories about your people, report on news from your nation, or simulate trade relations or even war, roleplay is a great choice to get involved.
Our roleplay communities are a perfect outlet to unleash your creativity and formulate your country’s lore and history.
How do I join?
We have a couple of roleplay universes you can join:
Pacifica is our main modern-tech roleplay universe set in the world known as Pacifica
Sector A1-0 is a universe for Future Tech sci-fi roleplay.
Aurora is a medieval-era fantasy roleplay universe.
To participate, just make an account on our regional forum, then post your roleplay on whatever universe you want. Remember to read the About post (e.g. About: Pacifica canon) of an universe first to make sure you know the world and rules!
Aside from the forum, you can do informal roleplay or ask any question about roleplay on our Discord server.
That’s okay! We think we have a little bit to offer everyone, but if nothing catches your eye right now, no worries! We’d love to just chat with you and get to know you a bit better. Feel free to make an account on our regional forums or join our Discord server.
Note: The “Fundamental Rule” portion of each guideline is meant as a summary of the rule. The official text of the rule may be found in the “Details” spoiler.
Breaking these rules can result in consequences including warnings, post suppressions, and in the the case of repeated or serious infractions, ejection and banning from the region. The full, detailed Local Council Standard Moderation Policy, which specifies the exact consequences for various levels of rule-breaking, can be found here.
And so, after much introduction, here are your RMB Rules:
Spamming on the RMB is not allowed at all, under any circumstances. Spamming is probably best described as a post that is meaningless and/or unnecessary— for example, a post that repeats the same thing multiple times, a lone emoji or image, multiple posts of the same thing, or a series of posts that have no apparent meaning. It does not matter what your intent is— if your post(s) fits the above definition, it is considered spam and will be dealt with accordingly.
We understand that many of you come from backgrounds where English is not your main language, as players come from all around the world. However, to avoid confusion among people who don't speak your language, we sincerely ask that you post in English only, for ease of communication.
Remember, there are tools like Google Translate to help you. If you speak in another language, please add a translation to English in the same post. Posts with English translations will not be suppressed. For the avoidance of doubt, English means Modern English and not backwards English.
Asking for endorsements on the RMB is not allowed at all, under any circumstances. Ever. Permissions are only made if the requester is a member of the Council on Regional Security, the Coral Guard, or the Delegate seeking to increase endorsement counts for the purposes of promoting regional security.
If you want to receive and give more endorsements, get involved in the Southern World Assembly Initiative, TSP’s endorsement program.
Similarly, recruiting, or telling people to move to another region, is also not allowed. You may not ask people to join your region on the RMB, whether you are also a South Pacifican citizen yourself or not.
It's all legal! As long as it complies with the rules. Specifically; remember to keep your roleplays appropriate (as stated in rule IX). The LC has reached a general conclusion on what is appropriate, and if your roleplay does not fit within those boundaries, it will be stopped. So, excessive display of affection, sexually-suggesting roleplay, and the like, are not allowed at all.
Similarly, do not clog the RMB with your roleplay. If you feel it has been going on for a while, either take it to a roleplay region, or cease it all together. Otherwise, it may be interfered with. When the board is dominated by roleplay, it becomes hard for everyone else to communicate with each-other, thanks to the overabundance of posts completely unrelated to what they are doing.
But other than those things, feel free to roleplay to your heart's content!
Triple posting, or posting three posts in a row, is considered illegal, as are any other number of posts more than two in a row. All posts after the initial two post will be suppressed. If one hour has passed without another post on the RMB a single third post will be allowed
It is not permitted to post or otherwise share another player's personally-identifying information (i.e. social media accounts, IP addresses, postal addresses, E-mail addresses, telephone numbers, etc.), and neither is it permitted to post or share information that may not be identifying but is nonetheless of a personal nature (i.e. medical history, relationship status, etc.). The only exception is if the player in question has shared that information themselves and does not mind its dissemination (this sharing or statement of permission must be publically viewable).
Making a claim of serious out-of-character misconduct (e.g. bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, etc.) against someone else, without providing evidence to moderation/administration, is considered malicious harassment, and will be dealt with accordingly. This rule applies to the TSP forum and discord as well.
Trolling is defined as starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking other nations into displaying emotional responses. Baiting is similar to trolling, and is defined as posting with the aim of angering someone indirectly, directed at a specific person. Flaming is defined as posting insults or other verbal and often personal attacks on other nations. Erudite slams while maintaining a veneer of politeness can also be considered flaming. All three of these are banned under all circumstances.
This is an extension of a simple policy of respect. What may seem like good natured fun to you could be trolling to someone else, and if they tell you to stop, do so.
We can and will warn, suppress, and even ban you, as well as record the incident. In severe cases the NationStates Moderators will be contacted, and puppets will not hide your IP address from them.
TSP is a part of NationStates, and as such, you must follow the rules of the game as a whole at all times. Breaking the game rules will land you in trouble with both the regional officers and NationStates site moderation. See the link below for the list of rules and a quick FAQ page for more details on the game rules.
Excessive swearing, explicit, suggestive, or excessively violent messages, sexual references, and other such things will be suppressed on sight, and the NationStates site moderators can and will be called to get involved in serious cases. Excessive displays of personal affection (e.g. suggestive roleplayed snuggling, nuzzling, kissing, licking and so on) is also considered inappropriate and will be suppressed accordingly.
Mild swearing may be tolerated, mild sexuality may be at the very most hinted, but explicit or excessive versions of either or both will result in moderation intervention, both from the Local Council and potentially from NationStates site moderators. Derogatory terms are disallowed, and all swearing must abide by all other rules, particularly those about respecting others.
It is illegal to edit what someone else has written when quoting it in order to make it seem like they expressed a view which they didn’t. Quote-editing should be avoided even for comic effect.
When you are responding to someone's post, please quote their post (by pressing the "quote" button), as it makes it less confusing and will alert them to your post.
When quoting an offensive post, delete the content of the post and replace it with "-snip-". Doing so makes the administrators’ jobs much easier.
When quoting long posts, please cut the post down to the particular parts you are responding to, or replace the extraneous material with "-snip-".
The [spoiler] tag is your friend. When making or quoting a very long post, or one which not everyone might want to read, please add spoilers, so as to avoid taking up a large amount of the page.
If you are giving a spoiler of a recently released book or film, put it in a spoiler tag, to give people who haven't read/watched it a chance. As a general rule of thumb, give a month for films post-release (as release dates may be different in different areas) and two months for book releases.
Remember, there are other, real people behind the nations on the RMB. Everyone here is a human being with emotions and the right to be respected.
While dissent with regional officers (LC, Delegate, CRS, and Ministers) is perfectly acceptable, remember that they are people too, and worthy of basic human decency. The regional officers should be respected at all times just as any other member of the region should.
When debating, always remember to attack the argument rather than the person making it. If you find yourself getting heated, try to take a step back. Personal insults, insults to intelligence, etc. will not be tolerated. The only form of debate banned on the RMB is that over a particular suppression. For more information, see the Help Section at the end of this document.
Single word posts that do not advance conversation are not allowed. If you find yourself wondering if a post is both unsubstantial and too short, it likely is. This rule does not mean you have to post several paragraphs of content every time you want to post. Single sentence posts, single word greetings, and single-word replies quoting other posts are still allowed under this rule.
However, at the discretion of the Local Council, posts deemed to be insubstantial and not contributing to the regional discourse will be suppressed. An excellent way to avoid this is to add thought to your posts.
Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay here in TSP!
OR
Lodge complaints or comments with the following nation:
This nation is controlled by the LC, ensuring all Local Councillors can see your complaints or comments. Remember, the rules of respect apply to telegrams as well as the RMB.
Official moderation appeals must follow the process laid out in the Standard Moderation Policy dispatch.
London works like this, it is unique to the rest of the UK:
the streets, because the mayor has never decided to expand them, are small, especially in commercial areas
so the train is used to move around and get to work
if the trains can't be used the entire system breaks down
and the london economy stops
