Esferos v1.25 Welcome @Kikuyat and @R0fael! For balancing purposes, some of your responses relating to your nation's basic statistics had to be changed. Please check the Big Book of Numbers and let us know via DM if you'd like any of them changed and we'll work on it together. You can also check out more info on balance in the Guidance on Session Zero. We encourage you to use the Sheets comment feature to comment desired changes on cells in your row and we'll update them for you (this also applies to blank cells). You may now access the entirety of the TWP Roleplay Discord server, including your continent chat! @panqjr, please apply for citizenship here before your Mapplication™ can be processed.

Citizenship in the West Citizenship is open to all resident WA nations of TWP and non-resident WA nations who contribute to the region's governance. Citizenship here is an expression of commitment to the West—it shows that you have chosen TWP as your community, and that TWP has chosen you. Learn more about what Citizenship means in the Bond of Citizenship below. There are two forms of TWP Citizenship: Static Citizenship requires simply maintaining a WA nation in TWP that is endorsing the Delegate. Service Citizenship requires keeping engaged in a TWP Ministry, but does not require keeping a WA nation in TWP (you must, however, still keep a resident nation). If you become unengaged in your chosen Ministry, you may lose your Citizenship. To move from Static to Service Citizenship, join a Ministry by submitting a TWP General Government Job Application.

Bond of Citizenship The West Pacific welcomes to our shores all who wish to work for the betterment of our region. We are an ever-developing community and collaborative effort constantly striving for improvement. We work to make our home the best it can be. Nations who wish to be part of The West Pacific as Citizens must understand and respect the Bond of Citizenship: We will protect you — We are all Westerners. We will not allow anyone to harass you and we will defend you and retaliate against those who wish you harm. We protect our own. We will grant you access and meaning — The more you want to do, the more you can do with us. Prove your merit through your productive labour and you shall reap the fruits of your labour. Work hard and you will progress. We will honour your experience and intellect — We all come from different ways of life. To function as a community we come together, share our ideas, and hash out differences on how to improve our region. Your perspective can make a difference. You will be loyal — Those who seek personal power above all else will not survive here. You work for our collective community, you work for meritocracy, delegate supremacy, and that the West is Best. We’re all in this together. You will engage — There is no merit in being silent. Put in as much effort as you can give, everyone has their own abilities and skills. Know however that those who do not put in the work cannot claim to be a Westerner. You will not be a dick — We’re a family and a community in the West. Be neighbourly and kind to your regionmates. Failure to behave will result in removal from the community.

Thank you for your fast action on this issue

Hi there! I appreciate you reaching out about this! We also saw the embassy request, and rest assured that it has been thoroughly rejected. Someone seems to have put in a GHR with the site admins and the founding nation has been deleted. TWP is extremely queer and trans friendly and will always be such—we have an absolutely zero tolerance policy for anything that puts our community members in harm's way.

I apologise if this is not the right place for this. I have concerns around the Nation of The people's Republic of Straightness' request to construct an embassy for the region of Gender Critical. My concerns were initially brought about when I saw this request, however upon delving deeper into the region and the Nation in charge, my concerns lie in the harmful and discriminatory language used by The People's Republic of Straightness, and the use of common anti-trans talking points and the spreading of misinformation in the factbook. The nation in charge also has stated homophobic talking points as well. I hope the construction of the embassy for this region will be thoroughly discussed and considered before any action is taken. Thank you all - The representative for the Principality of New Quieria
