I think I'm gonna bring back the 'Maxifaerians live to work' idea and make the Z'vonen workaholics.

Just gotta figure out how to implement this while trying to explain why Z'verto isn't syndicalist-

Makes me think of ol' commie Strala tbh lol

Perhaps a form of 'Maxifaerians live to serve'?

I mean, that'd explain why the Z'vo were so quick to follow Masivra to war... that or the fact it was a war to end slavery and authoritarianism.

Just gotta find a way to make Z'vertonans turbo-loyal workers minus the strikes that'd go along with it.

Can't have Z'verto fall under commie rule, can we~!

Ca'forna: "Perhaps we can~?"

I wonder how relevant that above proverb is if you take Honourbound politics into consideration.

Hello there, EastFall, Fitaxia Kastess, Dalae, The confedrate states of louisiana, Amiga Force One!

Welcome to the Pacific! There are a lot of ways to enjoy NationStates, and the Pacific caters to all of them. To get started in the Pacific, it's important that you complete the below steps to fully enjoy your experience here in the Pacific and the New Pacific Order as either a new NationStates player, newcomer to the Pacific, or as a returning NationStates player.

  • First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.

    -
    New Pacific Order
    -

    What is the World Assembly and why should I join it?

    The World Assembly, often abbreviated as "WA", is the NationStates equivalent of the real-world United Nations.

    • Vote on game-wide legislation: World Assembly member nations are able to vote on resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly and Security Council, thus allowing you to participate in determining game-wide legislation.

    • Endorse other nations: WA nations may endorse (similar to social media "likes") other nations in the same region as them.

    • Write WA resolutions: WA nations with 2 (two) or more endorsements may submit WA resolutions of their own for the entire game to vote on.

    • Bolster the strength of your region: The more endorsements our delegate, East Durthang, has, the larger the weighted delegate vote in the World Assembly is, granting us more influence over international WA affairs. Furthermore, the more endorsements our leadership holds, the more difficult it is for hostile forces to seek to invade or disrupt the stability of our home.

    • Become a Pacifican Vanguard: Nations who endorse our delegate receive the title Pacifican Vanguard, are featured on this list, and are eligible for exclusive rewards, such as custom nation banners.

    Joining the World Assembly is the easiest step you can take in order to participate more in NationStates!

    How do I join the World Assembly?

    Follow the following five simple steps to get started in the World Assembly. If you need help, click on the spoiler sections to reveal screenshots of each step.

    1. Visit: page=un

    2. Click "Apply to Join". You must have an email registered with your account to access this feature.

    3. Go to your affiliated email and click the link provided. If you cannot find it, check your spam folder.



    4. You will be directed to a page where confirmation is required. Click the confirmation button on the page.

    5. When you are in the World Assembly, visit East Durthang's page and find the "Endorse East Durthang" button. Click this. Once that is done, you will have successfully endorsed your Delegate!

    -
    • Please note that the game only allows you to have one nation as a World Assembly member at any given time! NationStates moderation may remove and/or ban your nations from the World Assembly and/or the game for violating this rule.
    • If, for roleplaying reasons, you do not wish to join the World Assembly make a separate nation to use as your World Assembly nation.

  • Once you've joined the World Assembly, you can endorse any nation that is also in the World Assembly. It is extremely important for the security of the region that you make sure to endorse our World Assembly Delegate East Durthang.

  • Now that you've endorsed our World Assembly Delegate, you can join our forums and then apply for citizenship in the New Pacific Order. At most, the process will take a few days, and then after that - you're officially a citizen of the New Pacific Order.

    What is Citizenship?

    As a part of the Pacific, you and every other Pacifican have the right to apply for NPO citizenship, and gain access to greater participation within the diverse activities and community of the region.

    Benefits of Becoming a Citizen

    • This will present the opportunity to choose one or more specializations in the region's government and gain access to more engaging aspects of the region and what it has to offer.

    • You will gain access to the internal proceedings of the New Pacific Order and membership in the Body Republic, which allows you to propose changes or new ideas that may aid in the regional direction in the future.

    • Joining the forum leads to the path to the forumside roleplay community as well as the gameside roleplay community.

    • Becoming a Citizen grants you to access our private Discord channels.

    • Citizenship is the first step to becoming an important figure in the region and being able to dictate policy as well as help lead other Pacificans.

    How do I Apply for Citizenship?

    1. LinkRegister an account on the forum. You will need to click the verification link emailed to the address you signed up with.

    2. Go to LinkAccount Settings -> Edit Profile. Enter your nation name and link then press the 'Save' button.

    3. Review our 'LinkCitizenship Application Instructions'. You can do this by clicking the link or by visiting Recipient Desk -> NationStates Applications -> Citizenship Application Instructions.

    4. LinkCreate a new topic in the NationStates Applications forum and fill out the questionnaire from the Citizenship Application Instructions.

    5. Check your application topic periodically and answer the questions asked by our admissions staff.

  • The last thing that you need to do to get started is to join our Discord server. It allows you to communicate with all the members of the New Pacific Order, stretching across 3 main branches and other games as well. Since you're a citizen, you'll also get access to the special citizens-only channel too!

    What is Discord?

    Having probably heard about New Pacific Order's Discord server, either from your fellow Pacificans or from simply reading the regional page or dispatches, you might be wondering how to join it. Or not, if you are already a proficient Discord user, simply skip every step until the one where the server link is posted.

    Now, for those unaware, LinkDiscord is a communication app available in browser, PC app or mobile format that allows its users to form large organized communities. These communities are called servers, in most cases, and each one has its own specific organization and set of rules and moderators. The intent of this dispatch is to provide an initial introduction to how to function with Discord and, more particularly, the NPO's server.

    Benefits of Joining Discord

    • The ability to become fully integrated with all opportunities available in The Pacific and make the most out of your citizenship is attained through joining the most active aspect of the region.

    • A chance to help determine the regional direction for the World Assembly votes is also available if you so wish to help dictate our decision for specific proposals, including your own.

    • Discord gives you an easier route to meeting the extant regional leadership, discussing regional affairs, and is necessary for people who aspire to become involved in our government.

    • Inclusion in the full regional experience and introduction to the wider community of the New Pacific Order is available through Discord membership.

    Getting Started with Discord

    The first step would be to make an account in Discord itself. While not necessary to utilize server it is usually recommended due to ease of reusability and practicality. An account is absolutely free and simply unlocks a lot of features that a guest user might not have. Simply go to Linkhttps://discord.com and register an account, preferably with a username that won't breach any NPO rules, and this step should be done. You'll inevitably be prompted to confirm your email, so simply check your inbox.

    With your account registered you now have a few options. You can choose to do one of them, or even all of them. You can open Discord on your browser, download and install the application or download the mobile app. Any of them will work for the purposes of this tutorial, though the PC app is more flexible in terms of functionality (use of one platform does not exclude the use of others).

    LinkClick here to join the NPO Discord server. It is as simple as that after every previous step has been accomplished. Click it and after a prompt to join the server you will be in. Now comes the more specific part.

    Upon joining the server, if you have already applied for citizenship and been accepted (if not, check this dispatch for a guide on how to do it) Linkpost here to request that your account be added to private channels.

    If you have any more questions pertaining to the use of Discord itself, feel free to ask the people within the server for help. We hope your experience within the community is fun and fruitful.

Below you'll be able to find a checklist of things you can do to get started as it will help you get a grasp of the basics and introduce you to the wider Pacifican community. If you're not new to NationStates but new to the Pacific, do make sure to still follow the instructions; it helps out a ton!

  • First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.

Welcome to the Pacific, the oldest region on NationStates and home of the New Pacific Order for the past 20 years.

No, but they're the closest thing to any form of socialism in the ZU, what with them being social capitalist (still capitalist!). Technically, the ZU doesn't classify socialism as socialism, but rather as communism. Same with other economic systems without capitalism or capitalist ideas.

We're quite unfriendly to 'communist' countries unless:

1. They have potential for trade, then best friend.
2. Stronger than us, then we are friendly.
3. Are democratic, then we are neutral.

If you're not one of those three, we disagree with you and dislike you... except maybe Arthropyria. Even if we didn't have trade with them, we'd acknowledge them.

To: Nadie Novehiniya

"I'd like to congratulate you on reaching yet another successful trip around the Sun, Nadie. I'll be brutally honest, I very nearly forgot to send something for you this year; you can thank Snowrose's observant eye for having reminded me to write you this. Something she didn't notice, strangely enough, was that you're turning twenty this year! Again, I congratulate you for having reached that awesome age. I'm quite fond of you, being my closest friend and all; so I think it to be proper that I finally get around to sending you a plushie, alongside a token of my gratitude."

~Augusta Kossulminus

A pigeon comes out of nowhere, having used the Sun to hide its presence until the final moment; it comes to an incredibly awkward landing at the feet of the recipient, the sunbathing Ms. Novehiniya. Ensuring that its presence has been noted, the pigeon drops a letter and a decently large package into her hair.

> An ermin plushie, wearing a red/darkred scarf.
> A still-cold square of dark chocolate.
> A series of high-durability cassette tapes with various aughts/twenty-tens (2000 - 2019, 2044 - 2063 AC) songs recorded on them.

The pigeon would harmlessly pick at Nadie's hair for a few minutes before it goes blasting off again~

Lmao SF is anything but commie. If it were, there wouldn't be any homelessness problem (*cough* housing prices *cough*). Also, it's mainly the dense cities like the Bay Area, LA, and San Diego that make CA lean blue. Go deeper inland and you'll find some very red districts.

If this were the case, they would be under immediate (verbal and political) fire from the surrounding states. Not only this, but they're rights as a sovereign country could potentially be revoked (with a unanimous vote (excluding the targeted state)) if they break the ZU constitution (amended a while back when Ebrein was a communist satellite state to the USSR for a period of time, we made it illegal for 'communism' to be an implemented ideology on Z'verto).
