What Yy said. Discord is not mandatory even for citizenship, but if you want to work in a ministry or in TWPAF you would almost certainly need to join, as nearly all coordination takes place there.
Yeah, I am fine without being on the discord and still active here but I would recommend joining the forum
On Sacred Spaces
Under vaulted roof
Does one ponder its vastness
Or silent echoes?
The stillness observes
Intangible full presence
Of self, or Other
And is that presence
Abiding as well within
Hearts in living rooms?
Westwind, The Holy Principality of Saint Mark, Bran Astor, and The unified missourtama states
Some amazing puns, poems, and pictures being shared at the Festival of the Three Perfections.
I encourage all of you, as members of the host region, to come by and enjoy the incredible art from around NS.
Link to the Discord in our WFE.
Big Bad Badger, Fuentana, and The unified missourtama states
Migraine must be catching
Daughter is suffering today
"Stupid Migraine!," she says.
BTW, I hear
Betelgeuse is brightening
Right on time.
Please be sure your team
Takes those iodine pills
Before the game begins.
(Westiwnd Storm team members have set off a few Gieger counters)
Bran Astor and Fuentana
With counters blaring
Pour one to celebrate our
Glowing victory.
Westwind and Fuentana
I can understand that. Whether or not I get a bad headache, I’m usually wiped out the next day as has happened today.
Yes, I’ll do a proper post on that tomorrow when my brain has started working properly again.
Westwind and Bran Astor
I do love a punny poem!

Post self-deleted by E is something.

Overthinkers.

More substantive posts, please.
We ask you to follow these rules: most are common sense and basic courtesy.
Remember that the 
NationStates Site Rules apply at all times too.
Residents of The West Pacific are shown more leniency in regards to these rules, especially new nations.
Visitors are also welcome, but they are expected to read the rules when entering and will be shown less leniency.
Breaking these rules can result in warning, suppression, or banjection; with immediate banjection for serious offenses.
Do's
Be careful with quotes: Replace their content with -snip- when dealing with long or rule-breaking posts, but do not alter their content in any other way.
Be patient: This is a worldwide game played in people's spare time. Understand that your post might not get a response in a timely fashion.
Respect everyone: Always be courteous and respectful to your fellow players. Flaming, baiting, trolling, harassment and the like result in banjection.
Stay calm: Discussion is encouraged, but if things get heated during a debate, step away from the keyboard.
Speak English: English is the language of NationStates, so please use it or provide an English translation for your fellow regionmates.
Take time to read: If you ask a question and are directed to look it up somewhere, look it up instead of demanding a full page answer.
Welcome new nations: New nations should have their greetings and queries answered in a friendly manner and be encouraged to get involved.
Don'ts
No advertising: This includes dispatches, factbooks, polls, events, and of course recruitment, unless permission is given by the Delegate.
No asking for endorsements: Endorse other nations to be endorsed back, instead of asking in the RMB.
No double posting: You should always use the Edit button at the bottom right of your post to add more information.
No feeding the trolls: Instead of giving attention, notify the Delegate and Guardians (you can ping in the Discord Server) and wait for them to act.
No inappropriate content: Examples include but are certainly not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, fascism, nazism, and non-PG-13 content.
No puppetwanking: Don't use puppets to ban evade, like your own posts, or create false conversations.
No real life politics: We're here to have fun playing NationStates, not to get stressed in political discussions.
No roleplaying: We have dedicated roleplay areas in offsite platforms, you can read more in the Map & Roleplay dispatch.
No rules-lawyering: If you are unhappy with a Delegate or Guardian decision, telegram them instead of complaining in the RMB.
No spamming: Messages with meaningless content will be suppressed, with immediate banjection for accounts created for spam.
TWP
This is not other regions, this is TWP, please treat the RMB with respect and keep it civil and clean; be mature. This is not a playground.
No worries: it might be a long wait, but you'll have time to get your civil rights to where you want it to be. If desired, you can also check the NationStates index of issues to see what the outcomes might be, but I'l leave it to you to google that. It kinda takes away all the fun if you read ahead about every issue :)
Adding to Laururana's point, as time goes on you might find humor in the exaggerated outcomes. It can be frustrating to have unintended consequences, but that's life, and it's kinda cool if your nation has an 82% increase in book publishing.
Also, you can apply for citizenship on our forum, then join our discord. There's a channel for discussing answering issues where you can get tips and feedback... and support when you have unintended consequences.
Hey, there is WAY more to nationstates than just issues, I suggest you join the WA and endorse the delegate.
steps:
1. have a valid email supplied with your account in your settings.
2. apply to join the World Assembly
3. check email and confirm.
4. endorse the delegate.
I also recommend you join the forums to gain citizenship in the region and to get a better experience of the region

If you have discord, join the discord server: https://discord.gg/C8PAEvR
The discord is more active and where most things happen, as well as the forums.
From there you can progress your NS career.

They outcomes of the issues tend to gravitate towards the extremes. So while it may vastly affect your current policies, it could easily reverse them, too, once an appropriate issue comes up
