Hey there, I'm Qartistan! This nation is supposed to be an arab-style country. I hope I'm not offending anybody :/

I believe the authority stems from the gameplay mechanics that indicate the Delegate as leader of TWP. The Guardians likely had some input on the treaties as their influence is also a factor. To be fair, the Delegate doesn't ever need to consider our input on any issue. If the forum community gets unruly, it can be displaced. That said, the forum based government has shifted away from game-side interactions and is designated as the government of those deciding to take part on the forum, not as a representative body of the region as a whole. Therefore extra-regional treaties would not influence us here directly. Likewise, barring recent legislative endeavors, the military has maintained its structure separate from the HGA and while it utilizes these same forums for organization it is not (again, unless recent legislation has been approved by the Delegate making it so) beholden to the HGA directly. The intelligence gathering aspect of TWP is wholly outside of the HGA I believe. You may have a point in regards to the cultural components, but those generally involve mundane activities like joint celebrations, which are hardly impactful on our ability to maintain our own internal cultural identity and therefore not likely to require HGA approval.

Hi! I'm Llamas! Welcome to the region! There's tons of cool stuff you can try now. We've got the army, RP, games, and tons more! If you want a link, here's where you sign up for the military. I'd strongly recommend you join it; it's a great way to serve the region and to learn more about NationStates. Also, why would an Arab country be offensive? I mean, not all Arabs are radical Muslims. It's absolutely fine to have that kind of nation, we accept everybody here regardless of ethnicity.

Welcome over! What do you like to do on NS?

Historically some of the world's greatest mathematicians and astronomers have been Arabic. Without them we'd have lost many of the great works of the Greeks. Welcome to TWP. Normally I provide a much more flippant welcome, but I wanted to show that we welcome all sorts here. Except forum destroyers.

As I was saying in another forum: http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index.php?/topic/1204-army-ranks/ Thanks for your support Westwind I wholeheartedly support, and formally second this proposed Act.

SAT=Stupid-Ass Test. It's basically a gigantic test you have to take in High School, and your grade is one of the most important factors in determining if you can get into college and, if so, what kind of college you go to. Grading scale is out of 2400. Generally, it's agreed to be absolutely f*cking idiotic because its English sections fail to have any bearing on whether or not you'll be successful, the essay is based on questions you'll never need to answer in your professional career, it's easy to game by using a few strategies (Which helps to entrench cross-generational income inequality because this means that those that score highest are typically the ones whose parents can afford hundred-dollar tutors who know all the tricks to arbitrarily increase your percentage without teaching you anything you'll need in college or that's useful in life), and it has significant cultural biases that have been shown to be generally harder for minorities to answer the questions. But, luckily, it's supposed to stop sucking any minute now.
