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.

As you collect more points, you can exchange them for different cards-related rewards. The following table shows the current list of tasks you can perform to win points. Note that each task falls under some ministry of the executive government; you will need to be a part of the [b][url=/page=dispatch/id=842834]Executive Staff[/url][/b] for that ministry to complete the corresponding tasks.[box][table=plainheader][tr][td][background-block=#265780][hr][center][b][color=#dfecff]Task description[/color][/center][/b][hr][/background-block][/td][td][background-block=#265780][hr][center][b][color=#dfecff]Ministry[/color][/center][/b][hr][/background-block][/td][td][background-block=#265780][hr][center][b][color=#dfecff]Points[/color][/center][/b][hr][/background-block][/td][/tr]@@TASK_LIST@@[/table][/box] The following table shows the card rewards you can exchange the points you have collected for.[box][table=plainheader][tr][td][background-block=#265780][hr][center][b][color=#dfecff]Reward description[/color][/center][/b][hr][/background-block][/td][td][background-block=#265780][hr][center][b][color=#dfecff]Points[/color][/center][/b][hr][/background-block][/td][/tr]@@REWARD_LIST@@[/table][/box] Finally, note that you do not need to keep track of the points you have collected or exchanged on your own.

This story is a cooperative effort that is created by contributions from all members of the RolePlay community. A lot of RolePlaying in the North Pacific focuses on diplomatic relations between other nations in the region and interactions between its governments. Many of these RolePlays center around a few specific people and their interactions. [size=150][color=#265780]Why should I join?[/color][/size] RolePlay extends beyond the issue answering and gameplay mechanics of NationStates. It takes place in it's own separate world and allows for more creative thinking and writing. It is through these complexities, that our nations truly come to life. [size=150][color=#265780]How do I get started?[/color][/size] There are two official RolePlay communities in The North Pacific: Forum-based Eras, and Regional Message Board-based Strangereal. To join the Forum-based RolePlay community, you need to create a forum account [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/]here[/url]. You can then head on over to the [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/3024521/]RolePlay forum[/url] to get started. You can start off by claiming a spot on the TNP map located [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9189019/]here[/url]. To join the RMB-based RolePlay community, please contact [nation]British Bayonet[/nation]. Whatever community you choose, you should also join The North Pacific's [url=https://discord.gg/QRCxEYZ]RolePlay Discord Server[/url] so you don't miss out on any of the fun! [size=150][color=#265780]What if I still have questions?[/color][/size] A more detailed FAQ for Forum-based RolePlay can be found [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9104896/]here[/url]. You can also contact [nation]Prydania[/nation], the Lead RolePlay Moderator in Eras, through Private Message (PM) on the forum or on Discord. If you have questions about our RMB-based RolePlay community, you can contact [nation]Friently[/nation], the Lead RolePlay Moderator for Strangereal. If you are having difficulties signing up or navigating the forum, contact Minister of Home Affairs [nation]Palutenia[/nation], or any of the [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1167518]Mentors[/url].

The Ministry of Home Affairs has made it a government priority to assist new nations and to help point them in the right direction. We want to focus on establishing a friendship with all new nations who wish to get involved and to help them find an area of interest in The North Pacific. The Gameside Advocates are the leaders of this initiative, and have been appointed from a pool of active, friendly, helpful, and trustworthy RMB users. The Gameside Advocates will also be making strides in being more transparent with the gameside population. This issue has been raised for years, the lack of activity and transparency of the decisions made by the forum government, that greatly affect the gameside population. As such, the Gameside Advocates will be rolling out new initiatives to correct this issue and bring together the gameside and forum players to create a stronger future for The North Pacific. [size=150][color=#265780]What are their duties?[/size][/color] Gameside Advocates are responsible for the following:[list] [*]To welcome and assist new members.

Depending on which ministry they work for, they do all kinds of work, such as being an ambassador, planning regional events, mentoring new members, writing articles for The Northern Lights, or offering voting recommendations on WA resolutions. You are not required to be a citizen to be a member of the executive staff. It is open to all TNP nations, though we highly recommend you become a citizen. You can be a member of as many ministries as you like. Ministers need as much help as they can get. You can submit an application at any time, and more than likely you will be accepted and will begin working. [size=150][color=#265780]What Ministries are there and what do people do in them?[/color][/size] There are a total of five ministries you can join. They are Communications, Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Culture, and World Assembly Affairs. You can see a full explanation of each one and the many jobs within each below: [spoiler=Job Opportunities In Each Ministry][img]https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/images/executive_staff/home_affairs_large.png[/img] [b][color=#F9965B]Ministry of Defense - Minister [nation]Palutenia[/nation] [/color][/b] The Ministry of Home Affairs is the ministry in charge of getting members involved in the forum, WA, Roleplay, the NPA, and Executive Staff. The main job of people in the ministry of Home Affairs is recruiting people so that they get involved in activities in TNP. Recruitment could be for Roleplay, NPA, or the forum. The MoHA also ensures that all members of the region have an enjoyable experience both on NationStates and on the forum. This ministry creates new ways for people to get involved in the forum and game and to help advertise the forum so that more people may join it. You will also need to make a considerable time commitment towards watching and participating in the game-side aspects of The North Pacific. Of course, this also means that you get to engage with the entire nation population of The North Pacific, which as you will discover is a very enjoyable experience. [img]https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/images/executive_staff/foreign_affairs_large.png[/img] [b][color=#5A70B3]Ministry of Communications - Minister [nation][/nation][/color][/b] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) is responsible for international relations between TNP and the other regions of the world. The ministry conducts business off-site through the Foreign Affairs forum and subforums, as well as Embassy Row. With the advice of the Security Council, the MoFA develops the region’s foreign policy. In addition to accepting, securing, and managing embassies both in the forum and off site, MoFA appoints all ambassadors and diplomats to service those embassies and act on TNP’s behalf abroad. As an ambassador, you will be a diplomat representing The North Pacific abroad. You will be expected to deliver any materials provided to you by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Delegate, and keep an eye out for anything in your assigned region that may be of interest to The North Pacific. Of course, you will need to conduct yourself in a manner appropriate to a diplomat at all times. Being an Ambassador is a great way to get exposure to different regional cultures, meet new people, and make a name for yourself interregionally. As a result, the MoFA is always looking for volunteers to serve in the diplomatic corps. [img]https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/images/executive_staff/communications_large.png[/img] [b][color=#242b3e]Ministry of Integration - Minister [nation]United Orange Valley States[/nation][/color][/b] The Ministry of Communications is responsible for publishing The Northern Light, the official newspaper of TNP, and the Northern Broadcasting Service, the official radio and YouTube channel of TNP. Its members keep the residents and citizens of TNP informed with the latest government and election news, as well as the key events going on in the other regions of the world. It also allows influential thinkers and gameplayers to share their wisdom with the region and the rest of the NS community by highlighting their advice in an easily digestible and public way through TNL. Your articles, news shows, feature series, podcasts, and other productions should be factual in nature, and include relevant and interesting analysis. You can expect that your productions will be edited by senior Editorial Staff. This is done because your productions will be representing the views of the Government of The North Pacific, and also as a learning experience for newer writers. [img]https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/images/executive_staff/culture_large.png[/img] [b][color=#780085]Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Minister [nation]Kranostav[/nation][/color][/b] The Ministry of Culture is in charge of keeping members of The North Pacific in high spirits and making sure that they have things to do. The ministry works with RP mods to maintain TNP national role-play on the forum and organizes events for both in TNP and outside of TNP. These events keep members occupied and gives them something to look forward to doing. These events may involve other NationStates regions and working together with TNP to create an enjoyable event that many regions can enjoy. [img]https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/images/executive_staff/wa_affairs_large.png[/img] [b][color=#4AD07A]Ministry of WA Affairs - Minister [nation]Chipoli[/nation][/color][/b] The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs is responsible for engaging the region in WA matters through on-site communication as well as WA-related discussions. The ministry conducts business off-site through the WA affairs forum and its three subforums. The Ministry opens the voting threads for residents to cast their votes on WA proposals and also drafts Information for Voters (IFVs) telegrams that are distributed to the region. The ministry is also involved in the World Assembly Legislative League (WALL), an alliance of regions with which TNP is affiliated concerned with expanding the education of WA authors and voters and collaborative voting on key WA resolutions that involve a shared national interest. Furthermore The Ministry has a World Assembly 101 course available - covering both the General Assembly and the Security Council - to improve the knowledge base of residents within TNP. (Note: Ministry membership is not required to take the WA 101 coursework.) The ministry will aim to make the TNP forums a location where authors come to draft their resolutions, and in order to encourage such efforts, ministry members are encouraged to offer constructive criticism and other feedback on these drafts.

It is where new laws are created, existing laws are repealed, treaties are ratified or revoked, and government officials such as Security Councillors and Election Commissioners are confirmed as well as other non-legislative business. Sound pretty important, right? [size=150][color=#265780]Who can join?[/color][/size] Every Citizen of [region]The North Pacific[/region] is automatically a member of the Regional Assembly. All Citizens have equal power in the Regional Assembly since everyone ultimately gets one vote. Nations that reside in [region]The North Pacific[/region] can apply for citizenship [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145386/1/]here[/url]. [size=150][color=#265780]How can I get involved?[/color][/size] The most important thing that all members of the Regional Assembly can do is vote. The more votes there are, the stronger our democracy is. Besides voting, members can provide feedback on current proposals and even create their own proposals! [size=150][color=#265780]How does a Bill become a Law?[/color][/size] Any Citizen of [region]The North Pacific[/region] can bring a proposal to the Regional Assembly. The process is as follows: 1. A proposal is typed up in a specific format and posted on the [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/39612/]Regional Assembly forum[/url]. 2. Other Citizens voice their input on the bill and the proposer makes changes to the bill in response to the feedback. 3. Once the proposer is satisfied, they move for a vote. 4. A formal debate period is started by the Speaker and can last up to 5 days. This is the last chance make the bill perfect before voting begins. 5. The vote is scheduled by the Speaker. 6. If a proposal gathers a majority of the vote, it passes in the Regional Assembly. 7. Passed proposals are sent to the Delegate who either signs off on them or vetos them. 8. Proposals that pass in the Regional Assembly and are signed off on by the Delegate become laws. A more detailed version of this process can be found [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7092407/1/]here[/url] and the rules of the Regional Assembly can be found [url=/page=dispatch/id=837464]here[/url]. [size=150][color=#265780]Who can I contact for further questions?[/color][/size] Speaker of the Regional Assembly [nation]Foskeburg[/nation] and their deputies are available to answer any questions you might have.

In NationStates players are allowed one World Assembly (WA) nation and using that nation they can endorse any nation in the region, with the nation receiving the most endorsements becoming delegate. The WA delegate mechanic enables a kind of warfare game, which comprises two broad types of operations. Raiding is the act of a group of players moving their WA nations to a region and endorsing a given candidate to seize the delegacy. Defending is the act of a group of players using their WA nations to prevent such a delegacy seizure, or restore the previous delegate. [size=150][color=#265780]So how can I partake in this?[/color][/size] There are many well known defending and raiding organizations that you can choose to take part in, which brings us to question three. [size=150][color=#265780]What is the North Pacific Army and why do we need it?[/color][/size] The North Pacific Army (or NPA) is the regional army of our fine region which takes part in both raiding and defending operations, as required by the region's interests. We welcome anyone who wants to join in whatever capacity they are able to. [size=150][color=#265780]How do I join the North Pacific Army?[/color][/size] Simply register on our regional forums and fill out the application form [b][url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145375/1/]here[/url][/b]. [size=150][color=#265780]How do these missions work and what do I need to do in a mission?[/color][/size] This depends greatly on what force you wish to join. The NPA as a military body has several functions and if you wish to join, you can choose what sort of role you wish to take:[list][*]The Auxiliary or Pilers - Nationstates updates two times a day (these two updates are known as minor and major) and during these periods every nation in a region has their endorsments calculated and the nation with the highest number of endorsements is made the WA delegate. Pilers do not have to be around during either update but rather need only check their email, forum PMs or nation telegrams to check if they need to move and reinforce a position during any given time. The benefit of being part of this crosssection is that you are not required to be online at update and will be given a rank. It is notable that you will not gain promotions as fast as the second force, the special forces. [*]Special Forces, as mentioned above, are required to be online during the update so that they might move into a region at a given time. It is also a requirement that updaters have access to Discord. Updaters will be promoted much faster than the Auxiliary and are also considered to be members of the Auxiliary.[/list]Note that by being a member of the NPA, you will be required to create additional nations (puppets), transfer your WA membership from your main nation to those puppets, and move the puppets to other regions. [size=150][color=#265780]Someone asked me if I can help with a mission in another organization. What do I do?[/color][/size] Before doing anything, make sure to inform the High Command, which is comprised of the Minister of Defense, their deputies, and Generals of the NPA. As long as you have obtained permission from them, there is no reason you cannot help with another mission. Sometimes it might even be possible to do both at once. [size=150][color=#265780]My question isn't here. What do I do?[/color][/size] You can find more information in [URL=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145375/1/]this thread[/URL] on The North Pacific forum, contact Minister of Defense [nation]Arawi[/nation], or any one of the [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1167518]Mentors[/url].

[region]The North Pacific[/region], like many other regions, has utilized this system to allow for easier communication amongst fellow nations. [size=150][color=#265780]How is this different from telegramming or RMB posting?[/size][/color] Discord offers a plethora of additional communication features compared to NationStates. For one thing, everything takes place in real-time. You can see who is online, who is available to chat, and can even see when someone is typing a message. No need to refresh the page constantly when waiting for a reply from someone like with NationStates. Second, Discord allows for the creation of many different channels and can control who has access to each. This helps to organize discussion topics instead of using as single chatroom for everything. Third, Discord has a voice chat feature for users interested in talking to one another. Users are not required to utilize this feature but it can definitely be a fun tool for communicating with one another. [size=150][color=#265780]Why should I join?[/size][/color] Discord is widely used by The North Pacific community. At just about any time of day, you can find at least 50 users on our general server. It is used for all sorts of purposes such as government business, communication between fellow players, and simply just for fun. Come check it out for yourself to see what you are missing out on! [size=150][color=#265780]How do I get started?[/size][/color] Getting started is easy! Just follow these steps: [b]Step 1.[/b] Click [url=https://discord.gg/KBmBZkQe6d]here[/url] [b]Step 2.[/b] Accept the invite [b]Step 3.[/b] Create a nickname [b]Step 4.[/b] If you are a citizen or resident, contact the Speaker or Deputy Speakers of the Regional Assembly to be given the proper role. [b]Step 5.[/b] Explore some of the channels our server has to offer! [size=150][color=#265780]What if I still have questions?[/size][/color] You can contact the Discord Chat Administrators or the [url=/page=dispatch/id=1167518]Mentors[/url] if you have any questions about our Discord server or are having difficulties using it. [i]Note: The Chat Administrators encourage discretion and common sense when it comes to reproducing logs from the server.[/i] [i]This dispatch is updated automatically on a daily basis.

Citizens of [region]The North Pacific[/region] are able to vote in elections, hold public office, debate and vote on legislature, and more! [size=150][color=265780]What is the difference between a Citizen and a Resident?[/size][/color] Any nation that resides in [region]The North Pacific[/region] is considered a Resident. Residents can still get involved on the forum and in some parts of the government (mainly the the [url=/page=dispatch/id=842834]Executive Staff[/url] and [url=/page=dispatch/id=485374]North Pacific Army[/url]), but they cannot participate in the legislative process or elections. Citizens are essentially Residents that have successfully passed the Citizenship application process. This allows them to participate in the [url=/page=dispatch/id=842823]Regional Assembly[/url] and in public office. [size=150][color=265780]Who is eligible to become a Citizen?[/color][/size] In order to apply for [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145386/1/]Citizenship[/url], you must meet the following requirements: [list] [*]You must have a nation in [region]The North Pacific[/region]. [*]You must not have more than one account on the [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/index/]regional forum[/url] (Administrators may grant exemptions under exceptional circumstances). [*]You must not use a proxy server. [*]You must not pose a threat to regional security, as determined by the Vice Delegate.[/list] [size=150][color=265780]How do I apply?[/size][/color] To apply, follow these steps: [b]Step 1:[/b] Create an account on our [url=/page=dispatch/id=851266]regional forum[/url]. [b]Step 2:[/b] Go to the [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145386/1/]Citizenship Application thread.[/url] [b]Step 3:[/b] Post the following oath in the application thread: [spoiler=Citizenship Oath]Nation: [INSERT YOUR TNP NATION] I pledge loyalty to The North Pacific and its territories, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war against the North Pacific and its territories. I understand that if I break this oath I may permanently lose my voting privileges. In this manner, I petition the Speaker for citizenship in The North Pacific.[/spoiler] [b]Step 4:[/b] Check back periodically on the status of your application. ([i]Note: The application process requires 3 separate checks and can take up to 2 weeks. Please be patient.[/i]) [b]Step 5:[/b] Once you are granted citizenship, go participate in our government! [size=150][color=265780]What do I do if my application was rejected?[/color][/size] Your application can be rejected for a variety of reasons, most of which are easy to fix. You can be rejected if you spelt your nation name wrong or posted the wrong oath. You will be given the reason and instructions on how to re-apply correctly. The most common reason to get your application rejected is by failing the forum administrator's check. You will fail the check if you are using a proxy (such as VPN networks) - in which case you'll have to turn it off and re-apply - or if you share a network with another forum account. In this case, you will be contacted about it by forum administrators, who will try to help you resolve the issue. The most likely reason to fail the forum administrator's check is because you have a non-residential IP address (a residential IP address is mostly likely a home network; examples of non-residential IP addresses include mobile data and school or business networks). If you applied on a non-residential network, try re-applying on a residential one. If you don't have access to a residential network, you can appeal to the [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=842823]Regional Assembly[/url] to have your rejection overturned and become a citizen. To be eligible to appeal, you must: [list][*]Do it within one week of being rejected [*]Not be using a proxy (such as VPN networks) [*]Not be linked to another forum account (you would be contacted about it by forum administrators if your account is linked to another one) [*]Have your nation in the [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=un]World Assembly[/url] (learn more about [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=338371]joining the World Assembly[/url]) [*]Not have your rejection previously upheld by the Regional Assembly[/list] To appeal your rejection, go to [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9195677/]this thread[/url] and follow the instructions given. You will be expected to answer some questions from citizens, who will then vote on your rejection. The process may take a few weeks in total. If you're unsuccessful, it's not the end! Most ways to get involved in the region don't require citizenship. You can go back to [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=851343]The North Pacific Handbook[/url] to read about all the ways to get involved. [size=150][color=265780]What if I have questions along the way?[/size][/color] You can contact Speaker of the Regional Assembly [nation]Foskeburg[/nation] or any of their deputies if you have questions.

Each voting thread will be used for discussion and voting on their respective proposal. [*]Voting threads will be titled with [GA/SC - Status] (Proposal Name). The Ministry will update the title of the thread when appropriate, and the vote counts of each thread regularly. [*]When a proposal comes to vote, its corresponding voting thread should be stickied for the period of the vote and marked [GA/SC - AT VOTE - (stance)] (Proposal Name). At the end of a vote, a voting thread should be unsticked, locked, and updated to read [GA/SC - PASSED/FAILED/DISCARDED] (Proposal Name) with the results of the vote marked in red (should the proposal have failed) or green (should the proposal have passed). A notation, if passed, may be added detailing the number of resolutions now passed by the author. [*]Voting thread titles need not be identical to the templates above, but must still be to that effect. [/LIST] [B]Article 2: Voting Eligibility[/B] [LIST=1] [*]All members able to post in the voting thread of a proposal may partake in discussion related to the proposal in the thread. [*]All members who have their World Assembly member nation residing in the North Pacific or who are part of the North Pacific Army may have their votes counted in a voting thread. Members must satisfy these requirements for the entire length of time a voting thread is open. [*]Residents who do not satisfy the requirements in 2.2 should note with their vote that they do not satisfy the requirements. [*]Members who have switched their status should note their change in status in their vote. [*]The Ministry may specify a region on whose regional message board nations may vote. This region is currently TNP Gameside Voting Box. Nothing in this section shall be construed as obligating the Ministry to maintain such a region. [*]Votes on this regional message board shall be added to the voting tally for that proposal, counting for half of what a vote on the voting thread would. Votes shall not be counted if they are from nations not in the World Assembly, nations not in The North Pacific, or players who have already voted in the voting thread. [/LIST] [B]Article 3: Powers and Duties of the Delegate[/B] [LIST=1] [*]The Delegate possesses full autonomy over their vote on all WA proposals at-vote and over any proposal approvals they choose to exercise. In transitional periods, the outgoing in-game Delegate shall liaise with the incoming in-game Delegate regarding approving WA proposals and votes on at-vote WA proposals and follow their recommendations or orders. [*]The Delegate should strive to update their vote in accordance with the voting tally in a manner that does not diminish the influence of the regional vote. [*]If the Delegate chooses to vote differently from the vote tally result, they should strive to vote in accordance with the voting recommendation of the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs. [*]If the Delegate cannot vote in conformity with either the vote tally result or the voting recommendation from the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, they should issue a statement detailing why they cannot do so. The Delegate may use their discretion in whether to append this to the IFV linked to the proposal. [*]If a voting thread is not posted by the time a proposal is at vote, the Delegate should coordinate with Ministry leadership to issue a preliminary recommendation on the proposal. A voting thread should subsequently be created and a formal recommendation crafted. [/LIST] [B]Article 4: Principles of the Transitional Delegate’s Vote[/B] [LIST=1] [*]The elected Delegate may instruct the in-game Delegate to vote a certain way on a World Assembly proposal. The in-game Delegate must comply with such an instruction. [*]If no recommendation is given to the in-game Delegate, the Delegate shall vote for the stance which leads the voting tally, if the leading side in the voting tally leads by two or more votes. [*]If no side leads the voting tally by a margin of two or more votes approximately two days into the vote and there is no instruction to the in-game Delegate by the elected Delegate, the in-game Delegate shall vote in line with the voting recommendation of the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs. [/LIST] [B]Article 5: Guiding Principles of the Delegate’s Vote, Voting Recommendations, and General World Assembly Etiquette[/B] [LIST=1] [*]The Delegate shall refrain from voting [B]For[/B], and the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs shall refrain from recommending a vote [B]For[/B], any proposal authored by a resident of a region on the Civil Defense Siren. [*]The Delegate and the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs shall, barring exceptional circumstances and a statement as to why the vote and recommendation [B]For[/B] are necessary, refrain from voting [B]For[/B] or recommending a vote [B]For[/B] any proposal authored by a nation or player who is currently banned from The North Pacific or its off-site properties. [*]The Delegate shall strive to vote [B]For[/B] and the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs shall strive to recommend a vote [B]For[/B] any proposal which has received majority support from Ambassadors to the World Assembly Legislative League (WALL). [*]Officially sanctioned and endorsed countercampaigning, or other methods of denying a proposal the approvals necessary to either achieve the formal queue or come to vote, should only be used in reference to proposals authored by players who fall into 5.1 or 5.2 or if the Delegate believes that the proposal’s arrival at vote would undermine regional security or interests. [*]The Delegate and the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs may maintain a formal or informal list of individuals whose proposals shall not receive For votes or recommendations at their discretion.

We want to ensure everyone has a positive experience, so please familiarise yourself with the following guidelines. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the Lead Gameside Advocate, [nation]9003[/nation], or the [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=2505324]Gameside Advocates[/url], or ask on the RMB. And remember, the most important rule is to think before you post. You're interacting with other people, so let's keep it a respectful and pleasant environment. [/size] [size=115]The [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=region_control]Regional Officers[/url] and [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=2505324]Gameside Advocates[/url] have the authority to warn or suppress users who are found to be violating these guidelines. It is important to note, that even if a post does not explicitly infringe on the rules mentioned in this dispatch, it may still be considered a violation. You don't have to stress memorising every rule in this dispatch word for word. Common sense will get you pretty far![/size] [align=center][size=200][color=#1d2c7c]The Regional Message Board Guidelines[/color][/size][/align] [box][size=150][color=#1d2c7c]1. NationStates Site Etiquette[/color][/size] [size=115]The North Pacific community follows a set of guidelines put in place by the NationStates Moderators to maintain a respectful and safe online environment. Any user-generated content that violates these guidelines can, and will, be reported to the Site Moderation team. If you would like to learn more about the rules, you can refer to the [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=260044]One Stop Rule Shop[/url].[/size] [/box] [box][size=150][color=265780]2. Spam[/color][/size] [size=115]Spam occurs and is abused in a wide variety of forms, so we reserve the right to suppress the following scenarios of a post. The most important rule to remember is "Don't spam!" Disregarding the examples listed, it is also a matter of interpretation by the ROs. With justification, other messages can be classified as spam and suppressed.[/size] [size=115]The general definition of spam is: "irrelevant or unsolicited messages", often with malicious intents and disruptive consequences to the RMB. [/size] [spoiler=[size=115][b]Don't double-post unless the last post was 10 minutes ago. [/b][/size]] [b]Don't double-post, unless the last post was 10 minutes ago. [/b] The consecutive posting of two messages one after the other is defined as double posting. It is allowed to post a second message 10 minutes after your last one. Triple posts, quadruple posts or others are still prohibited. [/spoiler] [spoiler=[size=115][b]Don't Emoji Spam[/b][/size]] [quote=lionsroar;53630355]🦁[/quote] An emoji without any further text in a post counts as spam. The same applies to the excessive use of emojis in a message. [/spoiler] [spoiler=[size=115][b]Don't use All-Caps[/b][/size]] [quote=lionsroar;53630355]THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, DON'T DO IT[/quote] This also includes posts with even a few lowercase letters. The percentage is key, and everything more than 50% will be suppressed. [/spoiler] [spoiler=[size=115][b]Limit your post size[/b][/size]] [b]Long Posts[/b] Long posts are spammy and too big for the RMB. It's especially annoying for Mobile Users. When writing long paragraphs, [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=54378154]please use spoilers. [/url] [b]Short Posts[/b] Also, remember to not only post one letter or word but also write these words out. Not everyone understands every abbreviation, and it's not helpful in a conversation. [/spoiler] [spoiler=[size=115][b]English is the RMB's language[/b][/size]] Please translate any language to English. [/spoiler] [spoiler=[size=115][b]Don't post excessive and/or nonsensical slang[/b][/size]] Your posts must attempt to carry an understandable conversation. [quote=sil_dorsett;45022735]I have skibidi rizz level 3 gyatt Kal Cenat gyatt ice spice fanum tax level 3 sigma chat baby gronk grimace shake qjdhuqwhuweqhuo13[/quote] Don't do the above. [/spoiler] [/box] [box][size=150][color=#1d2c7c]3. ROs and GAs[/color][/size] [size=115]Regional Officers and Gameside Advocates always have the last word. If they say to cut it out, then you will follow it. Regional Officers also reserve the right to suppress rule-breaking posts and even keep a ban possible.[/size] [/box] [box][size=150][color=#1d2c7c]4. Behave appropriately![/color][/size] [size=115]Use your common sense, you are interacting with other human beings! Keep it PG-13. Don't flame or harass. [/size] [/box] [box][size=150][color=#1d2c7c]5. Recruitment/Advertisement Rules[/color][/size] [size=115]Any posts recruiting for other regions is strictly [url=/page=dispatch/id=851305]prohibited[/url]! Personal advertisement should be limited as much as possible, as it should not serve in a disruptive matter to the RMB. This includes the advertisement for upvotes, endorsements, events, polls, etc. If you want to advertise certain content on the RMB, talk to the current Lead Gameside Advocate for their approval. [/size] [/box] [box][size=150][color=#1d2c7c]6. RolePlay[/color][/size] [size=115]One-liner or other low-effort RP is strictly prohibited. Instead, join one of our [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1465656]official RolePlay settings[/url] or provide a similar level of quality in your RP.[/size] [/box] [box][size=150][color=#1d2c7c]7. Additional[/color][/size] [size=115]- Do not speak on behalf of the community unless it is your duty to do so.[/size] [size=115]- Do not quote rule-breaking posts. Instead, edit -snip- into the quote if necessary. The best way is to not interact and let the ROs and GAs deal with the matter. [/size] [size=115]- Please remove pings, when quoting another user's message. Also, limit your usage of pings. Excessive pinging and liking of other nations and their posts need approval. [/size] [/box] [size=115]Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in the suppression of posts without warning. Just because some cases are not specified in the examples does not legitimize them. The RO always has the last word![/size] [background-block=#1d2c7c][center][url=https://www.nationstates.net/region=the_north_pacific][img]https://i.imgur.com/lJGjdOM.png[/img][/url] [b][url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/][color=#4CBB17]Forum[/color][/url] [size=125][color=white] · [/color][/size] [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145386/1/][color=#4CBB17]Citizenship[/color][/url] [size=125][color=white] · [/color][/size] [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7198621/1/][color=#4CBB17]Executive Staff[/color][/url] [size=125][color=white] · [/color][/size] [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145375/1/][color=#4CBB17]North Pacific Army[/color][/url] [size=125][color=white] · [/color][/size] [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/39609/][color=#4CBB17]World Assembly Ministry[/color][/url] [size=125][color=white] · [/color][/size] [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/3024521/][color=#4CBB17]Role Play[/color][/url] [size=125][color=white] · [/color][/size] [url=https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/5002527/][color=#4CBB17]Trading Cards[/color][/url][/b][/center][hr][/background-block] [i]This dispatch is updated automatically on a daily basis.
