The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand, a former British colony, has a federal parliamentary representative democracy under constitutional monarchy system of government, similar to that of Commonwealth Nations of Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Our nation is a somewhat corrupted left leaning Civil Rights Lovefest/Left-Leaning College State. We are generally pacifist, but maintain defensive and peacekeeping troops. We are a capitalist, trading nation. Volaworand is a signatory to numerous bilateral and multi-lateral treaties: the full list of treaties is available here.
Volaworand is mildly engaged in the South Pacific regional roleplay. Our interactions occur primarily in the South Pacific's nation-based roleplay dedicated message board, Knowhere, but also in dispatches, on 
Treasure Island on the South Pacific's offsite forums (find us on plot 28) and a bit here and there on the nationstates forums.
In addition to formal treaties and embassy exchanges, our nation solidifies links with the South Pacific region and the wider world in a number of ways:
We serve as the chair of the South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement (SPaRTA), a trade agreement to normalize the production and trade of South Pacific Iced Tea (SPIT, as it's known in the South Pacific). Contact us by telegram or tag us in the RMB if you are interested in making an application to join this trade pact.
Volaworand is home of the Kentucky Fried Penguin global fast food chain, which offers franchise locations in the South Pacific and throughout the wider world through the
Kentucky Fried Penguin storefront on the Global Economics and Trade Board on the forums. We actively exchange national animals with other nations in the South Pacific, visit the Royal National Zoological Park of Volaworand to see the hosted animals. Please send a telegram if you would like to exchange animals.
The Volaworand Newswire collects news and diplomacy dispatches from nations throughout the South Pacific, along with the occasional news of region wide interest. New nations looking to join nation-based roleplays can review the newswire to see what topics are in the South Pacific's recent news.
Volaworand's government owned transportation service Southern Transportation Corporation operates Direct International Flight connections with nations in the South Pacific, primarily those that have claimed a spot on the
TSP Forums Roleplay Map or "puppet" nations.Volaworand maintains active membership in the World Assembly and exchanges endorsements as part of the The Southern World Assembly iNitiative (SWAN). SWAN is an initiative organized by the regional government of the South Pacific to promote the participation of nations in the World Assembly (WA) and to encourage them to endorse everyone in the South Pacific, building security and community within the South Pacific. Endorsements help build influence, which improves regional security and is used in some border control situations. We have reached the Squire rank.
These nations in the South Pacific region have notable economic, political, military or historic relations with Volaworand.
Our Department of External Affairs bureaucrats rate these relationships on a semantic gradient:
Steamy | Cozy | Balmy | Tepid | Chilly | Frosty | Frigid

If you would like to exchange consular offices, please send a telegram to open negotiations. We prefer to document these exchanges with a bilateral treaties, but it is not always needed.
