What is NationStates?
NationStates (NS) is a nation simulation game where we, the players, run nations and band together in regions to have a good time.
First and foremost, there is your individual nation. This is what you see with when you login to NS. You have the authority to govern it as you see fit by answering issues, which change your laws, statistics, and rankings. These can be found using the different symbol tabs on your nation page.
You can also join the World Assembly, get to know the people of TWP, apply for regional citizenship, and join the regional government, which you'll read about in the next few sections.
Regions and the World Assembly
Every nation is a part of a region, and like you, they start out in one of the five Pacific regions or one of many Frontiers. Most regions have their own systems of government that have been created by the players who live there. Each region is headed by a Delegate, the nation with the most World Assembly endorsements.
The World Assembly (WA) is similar to the United Nations in the real world. In this body, resolutions and laws are passed that all WA member nations must abide by. Please join the World Assembly to help secure your new home and raise its influence on the world stage!
Once you have joined the WA, you may vote on proposals in the General Assembly (GA) and Security Council (SC), and endorse other TWP nations. Please note that you are only allowed to have one nation in WA.
As mentioned earlier, the nation with the most endorsements in a region is the Delegate, gaining executive power in the region. For those reasons, it's extremely important to join the WA and endorse our Delegate Witchcraft and Sorcery & the Guardians.
In order to endorse a nation after you join the WA, find their page and then scroll to the bottom, where there will be a button to endorse.
If you have any further questions about NationStates you can send a telegram to our current WAR Minister, Noton Mast. They’re a great person and will kindly help with and questions or concerns you may have!
All about The West Pacific!
Here in The West Pacific, we use a meritocratic system of government with the Delegate at its head. The more active you are in the region and the more capable you show yourself to be, the more opportunities you will get for responsibility and advancement.
Because of this, we are one of the most continuously innovative regions in the game. The regional government is made up of the Delegate, the Guardians, Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and staff. All positions are appointed by the Delegate based on merit except for the Keeper of the Hall, Guardian of the Hall, and Sergeant-at-Arms, who are elected by the region's Citizens.
Citizenship is open to all resident WA nations of TWP and non-resident WA nations who contribute to the region's governance. Citizenship here is an expression of commitment to the West—it shows that you have chosen TWP as your community, and that TWP has chosen you.
There are two forms of TWP Citizenship:
Static Citizenship requires simply maintaining a WA nation in TWP that is endorsing the Delegate.
Service Citizenship requires keeping engaged in a TWP Ministry, but does not require keeping a WA nation in TWP (you must, however, still keep a resident nation). If you become unengaged in your chosen Ministry, you may lose your Citizenship.
You can claim your Citizenship in The West Pacific by making an account on our forums and submitting a Claim of Citizenship.
Your application will be processed as soon as possible. While you wait, it's a good idea to talk on the Regional Message Board and get to know our Discord community.
To move from Static to Service Citizenship, join a Ministry by submitting a TWP General Government Job Application!

Peter Gabriel - And Through The Wire
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k0UJtixnii8&ra=m
And through the wire I hear your voice
And through the wire I touch the power
And through the wire I see your face
It's through the wire
Friday night, you're staying at home
I want you
I'm ticking and clicking, a metronome
I want you
Prowling the waterhole, I wait for the kill
I want you
Pressure's building, over-spill
I want you
And through the wire I hear your voice
And through the wire I touch the power
And through the wire I see your face
It's through the wire
Watchmaker steady his delicate hands
I want you
For barbecue parties on blood red sands
I want you
Caught in the struggle, tight on the rod
I want you
Bring out the devil, bring out the god
I want you
And through the wire you are secure
And through the wire we can talk
And through the wire we can walk
It's through the wire
Driving 'round the city rings
Staring at the shape of things
I talk in pictures, not in words
Overloaded with everything we said
Be careful where you tread
Watch the wire
And through the wire you are secure
And through the wire we can talk
And through the wire we will walk
And through the wire we're clinging like leeches
And through the wire we push out tailor-made speeches
And through the wire
And through the wire
And through the wire we get so strange across the border
We get so strange across the border
We get so strange across the border (Border!)
We get so strange across the border
We get so strange
The The - Armageddon (days are here again)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Vr_chMVQ4&list=RDt5Vr_chMVQ4&start_radio=1
Are you ready Jesus? Aha
Budah? Yaeh
Muhammad? Okey
But all right friends, let's go
They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the East toward the West
with Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
It's war, she cried, It's war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
You'll watch the ships out of harbour
and the bodies come floating back
If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
But God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
God belong to the yankee dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
No, God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again

'Cause I'm a star
Stellar, stellar
You've probably sensed it by now
What I've drawn in the depths of my heart
A banal monologue I'm about to share
"Words I haven't been able to utter for the longest time
There's been a wall I couldn't break down, for the longest time
The sudden scent of morning wafting in the air
I hated it with a vengeance
I trembled as I hugged my knees in the corner of a room
Don't need the sun, so
Don't let the dawn break"
Stretch out that hand as if to rеach someone
I'm just like you
Nothing spеcial
That's right, I'll sing of the night
Stellar, stellar
With extraordinary brilliance
The music won't ever, ever stop tonight
That's right, I'd always longed to be
Not Cinderella, forever waiting
But the prince that came for her
'Cause I'm a star
Such a common story
Just a scene lying dormant in a notebook I've been scribbling my ideals in
"That star must be crying too
I pray that tomorrow won't come"
Stretch that hand out as if to reach someone
The most important things seem to be invisible to the eye
That's right, I'll sing of the night
Stellar, stellar
Don't think of things as they are
The music surely, surely won't stop tonight
That's right, I'd always longed to be
Not a delicate heroine
But a hero on his way to save her
A dreamy fairytale
Fairytale
That's right, I'll sing of the night
Stellar, stellar
With extraordinary brilliance
The music won't ever, ever stop tonight
That's right, I'll sing of the night
Stellar, stellar
In the middle of the world, the universe
The music won't stop tonight
That's right, I'd always longed to be
Not Cinderella, forever waiting
But the Prince that came for her
'Cause I'm a star
That's right, I'm a star
Stellar, stellar
だって僕は星だから stellar, stellar
Ah
きっと君はもう気づいていた
僕の心の奥で描いた それが これから話す 陳腐なモノローグさ
ずっと言えない言葉があった
壊せない壁があったんだ ずっとさ
ふっと香り立つ朝の匂いが
どうしようもなく憎らしくて 部屋の隅で 膝を抱えて震えていた
太陽なんていらないから
明けないでいて
その手を伸ばして 誰かに届くように
僕だって君と同じ 特別なんかじゃないから
そうさ 僕は夜を歌うよ stellar, stellar, ありったけの輝きで
今宵 音楽は ずっと ずっと 止まない
そうだ 僕がずっとなりたかったのは 待ってるシンデレラじゃないさ
迎えに行く王子様だ だって僕は星だから
なんて、ありふれた話なんだ
理想だけ書き連ねていた ノートの隅に眠る ほんのワンシーンだ
きっとあの星も泣いてるんだ
明日なんて来ないままでいて
その手を伸ばして 誰かに届くように
本当に大切なものは 目に見えないみたいなんだ
そうさ 僕は夜を歌うよ stellar, stellar, ありのまま考えないで
今宵 音楽はきっときっと止まない
そうだ 僕がずっとなりたかったのは あえかなヒロインじゃないさ
救いに行くヒーローだ
夢見がちなおとぎ話
おとぎ話
そうさ 僕は夜を歌うよ stellar, stellar, ありったけの輝きで
今宵 音楽はずっとずっと止まない
そうさ 僕は愛を歌うよ stellar, stellar, 世界 宇宙の真ん中で
今宵 音楽はきっときっと止まない
そうだ 僕がずっとなりたかったのは 待ってるシンデレラじゃないさ
迎えに行く王子様だ だって僕は星だから
そうだ僕は星だった stellar, stellar

Counting Crows "Einstein On The Beach"

Albert's always sincere, he's the sensitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
But if everything is nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?
And Albert's vision's blooming uncontrolled
All his wings are slowly sinking
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling off a wall
He'll never be together again
Einstein's down on the beach, staring into the sand
As everything he believes in is shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway
We all get burned as
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall, and
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling off a wall
He'll never be together again
Albert's waiting in the sun
On a field American
For the cause of some inflated form of hit-and-run
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall, and
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling off a wall
He'll never be together again
Albert's fallen on the sun
Cracked his head wide open
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling off a wall
He'll never be together again
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling off a wall
He'll never be together again
No, never be together again
No no, never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying

Visual signal, fire! Until the day we meet again
Eyes, time-blindness, anxiety, I'm sick of it all
The door, the TV, time caught in a loop
The sun, the moon, and the sky, there's no one here
Ah, I've fallen into a crack in space-time
Crackle, crackle, the past has shattered
Loading only my feelings into the signal
Visual signal, fire! Dance
Until you give me an answer, eternal infinity loop
Signals echoing in the void with nowhere to go
Always offline, any reply will never come
A scream without an echo, for you
Is it a parallel line? Am I alone? This never-ending wait
Hey (Hello?), where are you now? Try waving your hand
Um, you’re alive, right? Just one more time
Ah, radio waves picked up by my ears
Wait, could it be? Is a replying sound?
Now, stronger, flashier, maximize visibility
Ah, really... did we finally meet?

Hey (Hello?), where are you now? Try waving your hand
Um, you’re alive, right? If you're dead, answer--
Crushed by loneliness, my brain begins to melt
Eyeballs throbbing, flashes of light strike my eyes
Meaningless vocal organs, there is no listener
Without rotting or aging, escape is impossible
Yearning scattered in tears, my mind fades away
The TV that swallowed you, resentment and hope
Sleep, exceeding the lethal dose, why can't I see you?
If I can't go back, then just even once
Visual signal, fire! Dance
Until you give me an answer, eternal infinity loop
Signals echoing in the void with nowhere to go
Always offline, any reply will never come
A scream without an echo, for you

Um, you’re alive, right? If you're dead, answer me

There's 30,000 megatons pointed at her
And him and you and me and everyone we serve
I look out at the mirror, look out at the world
30000 megatons is just what we deserve
I don't get out of bed no more
Beasts learned to talk a bit just to survive
But we're not even beasts, it's a wonder we're alive
We're baser than the base, deaf and dumb and blind
I'll not stand for Maybelline or Kyle or Jackie O
Or my sunburnt country burning people I don't know
I'll not stand alone or sing in one tune
To see a Virgin air hostess serve Bolly on the moon
And if I was the man on the Moon, I wouldn't let us near
I'd stand on a crater with my shotgun to the sky
And leave us to our mines and our Tinder 'til we die
And the Earth will sigh, and the Moon will wipe its brow
We need 30,000 megatons
Push the button now
We need 30,000 megatons
Push the button now
Out on the street it's only vitamins and hate
We'll soon be out of Xanax and then it'll be too late
We need 30,000 megatons, why wait?
Why wait?
We need 30,000 megatons
Push the button now
We need 30,000 megatons
Push the button now
