Thank you! It's interesting how the article idea was created - first it was just a casual idea of writing about Brazil that I had while talking in a Discord server, but then I shared the idea with the rest of staff and Bran Astor had the brilliant thought of making it a full-fledged column in which other people can also share information about their own culture. As a reminder to everyone, we at the newspaper staff are looking for people who would like to participate in this Culture in Focus column. Please feel free to telegram me or send a DM in Discord if you're interested!

Hello! I am from Peru (your neighbour!) and I thought your column was very interesting, it was great! I once went to Rio city, there was delicious food, great people and an amazing view. About Brasil-Japan, I believe Brasil has the most Japanese people that live outside their own country (Peru is number two). I would like to be on the newspaper, however, last time I tried, I couldn't enter to the forum/discord. ¿How do I enter to the forums/discord? (So that I can DM you).

Please calm down, some of our residents (including myself) aren't native English speakers so they are fine speaking other languages, as long as a translation is provided.

The message board rules can be found here and I would recommend checking our new player guide as well.

Why has the Rmb gone silent? (Sorry if I'm double posting).

Guess I need a refill.

Finally a person! Hi my name is Croatialand nice to meet you. :)

Thank you most kindly. Folks around here tend to call me Westie, or West, though I tend to sign things 'WW'. Ah, but lets not be too hasty. Not everyone defines 'person' the same way. We've had Delegates that were Horses, Dragons, and others. *chuckles*

Make yourself at home, though you'll find more chat, RP, government, et al on our Discord Server. And just a piece of advice, but be careful of double-posting, as it is frowned upon and can get suppressed. We try to remember to use the Edit button to update posts rather than add a second post.

*sips fresh poured coffee*

ok. thanks, Westie.

TODAY IN THE WEST

Hi, I am Blue Bubble, but I often go by Em, or Bubble. I am one of the newer people to TWP and the Regional Guides. I also now work on the Newspaper, having written my first article this month.
If you are new to TWP or NationStates, Regional Guides are those who not only plan TITW posts, but other regional activity too. You can read more here: New Player's Guide.

Today is Punday Monday! Give us some mom (Or mum) puns!

P.S., don't forget to pick up your copy of The Western Post!

Em? Great! I think we know you from another region!

We apologize. We sometimes forget about the global reach of NationStates.
Nice to meet you! The Em we know is on NS Leaders Discord.

Its Okay ~
You know two now lol! Nice to meet you too!!

Ok, so I’ve discovered something interesting. I recently decided to remove the door from my office, and afterwards my tax rate lowered by .34%. I’ve done some calculations. Assuming my upper class accounts for 10% of the population, using the average income of the rich and poor, the total income of everybody in my country combined would be roughly $4,086,971,666,000. Given my effective tax rate is 52.63%, the government’s annual tax income would be $2,150,973,187,815.8. .34% of that is $7,194,308,838.5737. Apparently, people were breaking my door so much that it was costing over seven billion in annual maintenance.

I need to hire better security.
