WELCOME TO THE GRAND EXPERIMENT!
The West Pacific is not typically thought of as a roleplay region. While some attempts have been made and a map has existed for nearly two years, a large-scale coordinated effort to build up a true RP community has not been attempted. Until now. This Discord is meant to be a think tank, an incubator, a workshop for the other side of NationStates. Work together to form a brave, new world for the West. Imagine, explore, create. It's your world- build it!

Joining and staying on the map
In order to join the map, you must follow these steps:
Join and introduce yourself on the main TWP Discord server and the TWP Roleplay Discord server Read the Guide to TWP Roleplay & Esferos Lore Introduction Apply to become a member of the Hall of Nations Submit your Mapplication™ to this thread once you have applied. See below for Mapplication™ instructions. The map is updated on the 15th of every month—to stay on it you must remain active, which requires you to:
Maintain your Hall of Nations membership—this includes making at least one post (new thread or reply) per month anywhere on the forums Engage in the Roleplay Discord at least once every three months Becoming inactive or leaving the region immediately forfeits your place on the map and in the canon unless you first talk with the Cartography Board. Inactive nations with significant contribution to the canon may become NPCs controlled by the Loremasters instead of being removed entirely.
How to submit your Mapplication™
Mapplications™ must be submitted as a reply to this thread. Below, you will find the Mapplication™ form to paste into a reply and fill out.
Submitting your Mapplication™ will begin a process where statistics and realism will be discussed with the Cartography Board. It is important to note that this process is not a negotiation—the community standards for realism will be met, but we encourage you to meet them creatively. If you have questions about specifics, or do not fit in a particular answer category, read the background material and explain where you may land on each of the Indices. Joining the TWP Roleplay Discord server is heavily encouraged for more involved help in this process.
The name that appears on the map for your nation must be reasonably realistic—if the name you choose does not meet the canon standards, you will be notified by a member of the Cartography Board. Your map nation's name does not need to match your resident nation's name.
You may request a premade area (outlined on the map in grey) or draw an area of your own. For continents that have numbered plots thus far, you may not draw your own plot. Pre-made plots are only combined in extreme circumstances. If you draw your own, please take a screenshot of the map and mark the territory you would like to request, like the example image provided in this section. Major cities and other features are also welcome, though we need exact city populations to place them on the map (this may be done later by submitting populations to the #cities channel on our Discord server). Please review the Esferos Topographic Map and Biome Map (linked above) to inform your nation's placement, as geographic features and environments will not be changed to suit your desires after placement. Bear in mind that if you decide to request an unreasonably large area, it will be pared down.
The map is updated on the 15th of every month, and hotfixes are released to include new applicants at the end of each week.

SAINT-JOSALYN —
Marshal Briand of Dalimbar, on Saturday was celebrated in Zoran in classic Cambric fashion - a “baby Briand” balloon outside Markanus Stadium, in Leo Rugiet, Zoran.
Police cars and motorcycles lined the stadium drive as a protest of the Dalimbari leader's latest shenanigans triggered more discussion over the out-of-touch positions often flouted about.

Cambria launches 1423 Rugby World Cup bid forecast to deliver $3.75bn boost

Rugby Cambria vice-chairman Peggy Schuyler says that hosting the 1423 World Cup would be a remarkable opportunity, after a bid was set-in-motion in Bastian on Friday morning amidst a rally cry of Breng Het.
The bid projects that if the 1423 tournament is awarded to Cambria, there will be over 800,000 international visitors and more than three million people attending. The substantial economic windfall has been projected with a total financial output of $3.75bn forecast for the event, which would feature 20 nations and 48 matches over eight match days and be played at eight venues.
“Hosting Rugby World Cup 1423 is a remarkable opportunity for Cambria, which would drive substantial economic outcomes for our country, while also providing a lasting legacy for rugby in Polaris,” Schuyler said.
“It would also allow us to support the Crown government’s ambitions around major events in what is the beginning of a crimson and gold decade for the nation - we are excited for the potential of every major tournament being on Cambric soil through 1432.”
Rugby Cambria is currently in a dialogue phase with World Rugby and will move into a candidate phase from March, when they will construct their detailed bid proposal. An evaluation phase commences 1423, with the Rugby World Council voting on the hosts just prior to the next tournament.
“Hosting Rugby World Cup Four would be an inspirational moment for the game in this country and a boon for Polaris, presenting a grand opportunity to grow the game,” said Macio Rasband, the Lions’ new general manager, of the Cambric bid.

Cambria says it sent 2,750 security personnel to Zoran 1422 Rugby World Cup

SAINT-JOSALYN -
Cambria sent 2,750 security officers to Zoran for the 1422 Rugby World Cup, State Minister Freddy Liedts said on Saturday, adding Saint-Josalyn had also trained Zoranian personnel ahead of the competition as part of a standing security agreement.
Speaking at an event in the western enclave of Tara Erbina, Liedts said 2,500 riot police and other personnel were deployed for the tournament, as well as OTK grenadier unis, bomb-detection dogs and their operators, bomb experts and other staff.
"A total of 2,750 of our personnel are working temporarily in Zoran for a 45 day window leading up to, and including, this Rugby World Cup," Liedts said. "At this event, which over several million fans from across the world are expected to attend, our personnel will ensure security," he said.
Liedts added that Cambria had also trained approximately 800 Zoranian security personnel in more than 30 different areas, without elaborating. He also did not specify what the share of the Cambric deployment in the event's overall security staff.
Cambria and Zoran previously strengthened ties following a terrorist attack during the first Esferiad, with Saint-Josalyn later backing New Zoradia in its dispute with rebellious factions and several countries frequently backing insurgent forces.
Zoran has faced great international scrutiny over the length and severity of its civil dispute, but surprised the world ever since it won the rights to host the third Rugby World Cup.
The tournament is being held from Feb. 9 to Feb. 23.
