today is Thank you Thursday, show your thankfulness for people or things today and maybe you might make someone's day with your thanks!
-snips-

here is a question members of the community can discuss and share: What is something that you have experienced in your life that you are the most thankful for?

Every morning, I am grateful for my coffee. But I am especially grateful for it on days when I did not sleep well.

Such as today

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. 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 Overthinkers & 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 Delegate, Overthinkers. She’s 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 Speaker of the Hall and the Hall of Nations Guardian, who are elected by the members of the Hall of Nations.

Members of the Hall of Nations are citizens of The West Pacific. You can join by making an account on our forums, Linkfilling the citizenship form, and repeating the citizenship oath.

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 LinkDiscord community.

After being accepted as a citizen, you can join one of TWP's government ministries to get more involved!

First, you're already on the right track by being respectable, asking questions politely, and getting involved in TWP's RMB. That's awesome and don't worry if you make mistakes. It's what you do about them that matters. :D

Missourtama and Fuentana have already shared with you the dispatches you'll need to get started (scroll up the RMB a little bit to see them if you don't see them here, or go back one page for them). I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do, and good luck in TWP! Oh and as one bonus point here: Check out our Discord too! A lot of us in TWP hang out there and you can learn a lot there!

Hello everyone, I'm really excited right now!
I finally got my nation out of being a "Corrupt Dictatorship" to a "Mother knows best state" .... It's not great but it's a step in the right direction! :D

There’s 266 miles to Durham, we’ve got a full tank of gas, a four-year-old in the back, the country’s under lockdown and I can’t bloody see anything.

Hmm, I'm not sure if I am losing my eyesight? Eek!

Do I:
a) get someone to take me to A&E.
b) Walk into a high street opticians.
c) Visit my local family doctor.

<Bing! Bright Idea>

d) None of the above but instead get into a car and drive 50 miles on public roads on a round trip.

<roll eyes>
You really couldn't make this stuff up!

Or as the other meme I saw went:

Stuff Specsavers, I’m driving to Barnard Castle.

What really staggers me even more than Cummings' contempt of others' intelligence and the law is the reaction of:

- The Police: Well we've concluded Mr C. broke the law but we will not pursue the matter further*.
- The Government: We consider the matter closed.

* I wish the police took that attitude with me when I got nabbed for speeding back in January. <sigh>

I've only been to Doune Castle in Scotland, which brought me great joy because it was the filming site for a good chunk of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (and it was Winterfell in season 1 of GoT).
