The Giovannilandian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent an expedition of 100 archaeologists, scientists and geologists to study the ruins in western Doll Guldur, along with a sum of 5 million Abrios. Giovanniland is eager to find more interesting data about the ancient history of the world! 

Libterrarian linguists analysed hieroglyphs and found that they are likely a ideographic or pictographic writing system. However, they were not able to decipher any words besides common ones. Similarities within the language show that the language is possibly. related to Libterrarian and Einherfell, but the evidence is scarce

Libterrarian geologist found that the rocks that were used in the construction of the temple were 7000-6500 years old, which is slightly younger than previously found relics. The stones used to construct the temple likely come from the coast of the lake at the border of Libterraria, Novia Xeneia and Novasamita.

The Libterrarian Government funded Libterrarian scientists exploring the ruins a total of 3.5 Million Potatoes = $2700000. Libterraria wishes to continue the expedition in collaboration with the other west Doll Guldur countries.

Welcome! Hope you enjoy TWP and decide to stick around!

While I have only been in TWP for only about 2 weeks now but I am still grateful for a few people. I would like to thank @Arracrania for being one of the first people I can say I made friends on TWP. I would also like to thank @Reçueçn, @Giovanniland, @TUMS, @Mia, and @Dilber for making me feel welcome in the TWP community, you are all wonderful people who have really made this experience enjoyable and really made it clear that TWP is a family and have made it feel that way. I would again like to thank Dilber for helping me get into foreign affairs for TWP and checking in on me here and there and for making my first few weeks in TWP very interesting with the Crabbist coup and allowing me to take some part in it. I am thankful for all of TWP and those that I haven't mentioned who have taught me the ropes and for being amazing people during these times.

No creativity in this timeline. Oh well.
NOTE: This is a draft, will be altered when details discussed with other Andolian nations.

Hello from the east coast. So I'm new to NS but look forward to learning the intricacies of the game and building my nation. I have to be honest, I hear TSP is beautiful and I'm considering relocating there, but that's in real life. As far as NS I kinda like TWP I think I'll stay here for awhile. I do have a quick question though, I was asked to "mask" in The Hall of Nations. I'm not sure what that is or how to do it. I just realized the mask thing was not ment for me, ooops

Hey man are you a writer? I liked it  

The Zoranian Times

Capital Punishment Has Ended!
Today on April 5, 1420, capital punishment, a subject that has been debated for years in Zoran, has officially been banned in the country after President Ani'-Wah' argued for it to be abolished in his own commune on Platypus Island. When put to a vote in the Platypus Island Commune, the people voted to have it abolished and prisons began the transfer of death row prisoners to maximum security. The people of Platypus Island were pleased by this and death row inmates thanked the gods for their life being spared. This caused other communes across Zoran to abolish the death penalty themselves to the point where all communes have abolished it. Thus, in accordance to Article 17 of the Articles of Unity, it has become federal law that the death penalty is abolished and that no person in Zoran can be put to death for their crimes. This is a monumental event in Zoranian history and when we asked President Ani'-Wah' what caused him to push for this change he answered,
"Well when I was looking at the expenses of the prisons across Zoran, I saw that a lot of their budget was being spent on those on death row due to the constant appeals the court system has to review. I found this troubling but what made me want to go forward with this was because of my niece, Ahyoka Ani'-Wah', who spoke to me after attending a protest on Zoranian policy and convinced me to try and do something about this. While I am president of the Confederacy, I really have no true power as written by the Articles and the Defense Council won't meet more than once per year unless there is a threat to the nation, so I decided to go to my local Commune meeting and put the idea forth."
People across Zoran admire President Ani'-Wah' for his actions and has inspired others to propose changes themselves in their local commune meetings as well.

The Holy Zoracon
Book of Weaving
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning, the universe was not in existence. There was only eternal darkness and the Great Spirit. 2 The Great Spirit was new at this time, He did not yet know the full extent of His great power. One day, He decided to put His great power to the test with the creation of the universe. 3 He created a Thread of Space and began to weave the universe into existence, creating the void beyond the skies which we now call space. It is believed that He continues to weave the ever expanding universe to this day. 4 As he wove the universe, He gazed upon His work and said,
"I can do more."
6 He then added embroideries onto what he has woven in the form of glowing pearls of different colors, sizes, and ages across it. These would be known to us as stars. To each star he added smaller beads that would move around their designated pearl, these would be known as planets and with the pearl would be known as solar systems. But he had one special pearl which he had a plan for. 7 The Great Spirit added this special pearl, known to us as the sun, and added beads around it as he had with other solar systems but he had one special bead which He plan to add life to; this planet He named Titania.
8 "This planet," said the Great Spirit, "shall bear my people, while they may not be perfect nor pure of spirit and heart, they shall be my creation and my children whom I shall test throughout their life to test their hearts, minds, and souls to see if they would be fit to join me in the Spirit Realm. But first I must prepare this world to bear life and must test the world with other creations before I put my people upon it."
9 He then put his plan into work and began to change the planet that would be out home for billions of years until the first life could be created. The Great Spirit then created the ocean where these first creatures would reside while He wove the land to prepare it for life. 10 He then added oxygen to the air along with the first plant life to the land to help support the creation of oxygen.
11 "The balance of nature should not be disrupted as without this balance this world will be thrown into chaos and the end times will follow." Said the Great Spirit,
12 Once plant life thrived upon the planet, the creatures of the sea were willed to evolve by the Great Spirit and after many years the first life came to land and began to eat from the plants on the land. 13 From these creatures, different creatures began to be created to adapt to the conditions of the young planet. Creatures that could fly were created and creatures of different diets were born. However, the Great Spirit looked upon the world and was not pleased.
14 "This planet is still too harsh for my people live. I must continue to cool the earth and new life must take root." said the Great Spirit. With a wave of His hand a great catastrophic event fell upon those creatures with very few surviving.
15 The Great Spirit then willed the surviving species to evolve into great reptilian and avian creatures which shall be known to us as dinosaurs. These create creatures came in various shapes and sizes, some could fly, some had horns, and some had feathers. 16 These creatures roamed the planet in three different periods of time but they were on the planet for millions of years. This time period was named by the Great Spirit to be the Age of Reptiles. 17 As the years went by, the planet changed too as sea levels rose and lowered and the climate changed with the beginning of seasonal change.
18 The Great Spirit looked upon the planet once more and still shook His head,
"This land is almost perfect, but these creatures would destroy my people with ease. Their bodily functions are also too basic for what I have planned for my people. Also, there is so much empty space that is just covered by sea on this planet, the land must be parted to cover the planet."
19 The Great Spirit clapped His might hands and the very earth of the land began to shift and move and slowly the land began to drift apart. However, this would lead to the end of the dinosaurs as all the tectonic changes would lead to climate change as well as volcanoes erupted and tsunamis covered the land due to the changes. But the exact cause of the death of the dinosaurs is only known by me, the Spirit Chosen, and the Great Spirit alone and I was told to never reveal it. But I am allowed to say that the Great Spirit directed a large bead of rock known to us as a meteor and struck the ground with it to end most life on the planet.
20 However, from the demise of the dinosaurs would rise the Age of Mammals, where we would soon be made. When the land had stopped shifting as drastically as it did, the continents would be born, while many of you may not live to see the day where the people of Zoran shall meet those of the other continents, let it be known that we are not alone on this planet and that there are other people that live in distant lands. 22 New creatures with fur and that gave live birth were willed to evolve by the Great Spirit and one creature in particular was chosen to become human, that creature is a relative of an chimpanzee. 23 Man was soon created from the monkey and while we were not given the gift of free thought and free will at this point, the Great Spirit was pleased with what he had created.
Chapter 2
1 There was a group of the first humans that the Great Spirit took interest in. This group was a bit more advanced than other groups of humans, this group had begun to use stone tools and began to develop a basic form of language. The Great Spirit took pride in seeing this group progress and granted them the first gift of free will and free thought and guided them towards the sea. 2 The Great Spirit said to them,
"You are my chosen people, I am your creator. While you shall not remember this moment just realize this, but millions of years in the future, in the year 8400 BF a Chosen Person of your people shall come and reveal my covenant and my teachings to you. But for now, you all shall sail on a ship to the holy land that I have saved for you. This land is called Zoran, and it is there where you shall be fruitful and multiply."
3 It was then that our ancestors were inspired with the first design for a ship and began to get to work. Years passed before they got enough materials to build the first ship to reach the holy land and had grown more advanced and more sentient. 4 The ship was large and a group of 80 people went on the boat and sailed West. When they set sail, the father of the future first Chief of the Platypus clan pointed out a glowing trail in the water and they all heard the voice of the Great Spirit,
"Follow the glowing trail of the ocean if it is the holy land you seek."
5 It took 6 years of sailing to reach what shall be known as Platypus Island. Many people on the boat died of disease but none died of hunger or thirst, for the Great Spirit provided food and fresh water to them each day. 6 Upon arrival on Platypus Island, the Great Spirit spoke to them once more,
"This is Zoran, the holy land I promised you. There are larger islands which you shall inhabit in time. But be warned, there is a beast on this island that will pose a threat to you and your people. But do not be afraid, for a strange creature on this island shall protect you at the time when the beast attacks your settlement and end the creature once and for all."
7 The people listened and immediately began to construct the first settlement. They worked day and night for a whole month, through rain and shine, for their settlement to be complete. 8 When they finally constructed their settlement, they all gathered and sang their praise up to the Great Spirit for granting them the strength to finish their work. 9 In response, He created flowers around them to show that He was pleased. 10 Three days past as they continued to live their lives when the creature that they were warned of arrived. 11 The beast was that of a large jaguar, larger than any jaguar that has ever roamed the face of the earth. Its fur glistened in the sun but its teeth were as sharp as an obsidian blade. 12 Its hide was stronger than bronze and impervious to damage. 13 The Zoranian warriors tried to defeat the beast but fell victim to the beast's mighty fangs and claws. 14 The people trembled as the beast slowly approached them and they cried out to the Great Spirit for the creature that was said to save them.
15 But right as they were about to lose hope, they heard a low and odd growl and they saw a abnormally large Platypus, the size of a hippo, comes out of the river and charges the leopard. 16 The platypus pinned the jaguar to the ground and jabbed its venomous barb into the jaguar before it was knocked off. 17 The jaguar limped as it tried to charge at the platypus, but the venom began to take effect and the beast collapsed and the threat was over. 18 The Zoranian people cheered and went to gather around the platypus which growled at them to tell them to stay back as it crawled back into the river and headed inland into the jungle. 19 The people then thanked the Great Spirit for keeping His promise of protecting them and they declared the platypus the sacred animal of the people of Zoran and named the island after it, Platypus Island. The Great Spirit then said,
20 "As long as you and your posterity have faith in me and continue to stick to your traditional ways and preserve nature the best you can, you shall have my protection, my blessings, gifts, and my eternal mercy, forgiveness, and love. However, should you commit atrocities in my name and forsake your roots along with the nature of the world you shall suffer and be punished in a way where the world shall never hear of the people of Zoran!"
21 The people of Zoran nodded and began to construct the first temple to the Great Spirit in thanks for their salvation. This temple is known today as the Heart of the Spirit and is still the religious seat of Zonethos today.

hello, TWP
some probably already know me by this name for months but, i never actually introduce myself in this forum (since it's internet so, just jump in) because i don't know the buttons are, where the right link and, most thread is still oblivious to me so, i abandon it a bit. sorry for the rudeness.
after a "divine intervention" or as i called it "contemplating my life" i decided to look up on this forum again and finally figure it out (well, half of it).
ok, introduction....
hello, my nation is Surroosia [sur.ru.sia].
The first major event i have been in was a "Festival of Three Perfection" i won for Photography and Graphic Design in Art division . was part of the Resistance "Anti-Crabs" when TWP got crabs so, we dine some and the rest is trebuchet-ed. What else? oh, born and raised in TWP.
that's all. If anything missed, simply ask.
thanks for reading this daft introduction.

Nation Name:THE GREATER REPUBLIC OF KOREA EAST.
Discord Name:KOREA EAST #1988
*De-crease country size if you wish*
The Greater Republic of Korea East is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Yi Sun Jeong with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.403 billion Eastern Koreans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving East Korean economy, worth 81.0 trillion Won a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,701 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable, and weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korea East's national animal is the Black Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Hi,I post my request for joining the map
Nation name: People's Republic of Saronistan
Discord name : Akash70#3086
Saronistan :
Saronistan rose around the fifth century CE under the Roman Empire domain. Consequently, the Lombards entered and took possession of the territory until the Sarono family became sole proprietor of the land around 1000 AC. The family engaged in many battles for the rule of the lands so they had walls built all around the capital city to protect themselves from enemies. Today only a small part of the walls near the fortress is visitable. The kingdom of Sarono remained practically unchanged until 1946, when following numerous popular protests the royal family decided to abdicate to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. This constitutional reform was called "the ravioli revolution". The popular republic was then founded. As the members of the royal family were much loved by the citizens, the new central committee held a referendum asking if everyone agreed to appoint the firstborn of the Sarono family as "eternal president". The people flocked to vote and 99.9% of the voters voted in favor of this proposal.
 
 
 

While I have only been in TWP for only about 2 weeks now but I am still grateful for a few people. I would like to thank @Arracrania for being one of the first people I can say I made friends on TWP. I would also like to thank @Reçueçn, @Giovanniland, @TUMS, @Mia, and @Dilber for making me feel welcome in the TWP community, you are all wonderful people who have really made this experience enjoyable and really made it clear that TWP is a family and have made it feel that way. I would again like to thank Dilber for helping me get into foreign affairs for TWP and checking in on me here and there and for making my first few weeks in TWP very interesting with the Crabbist coup and allowing me to take some part in it. I am thankful for all of TWP and those that I haven't mentioned who have taught me the ropes and for being amazing people during these times.

There are so many people I could thank here. TWP is filled to overflowing with good people. I really am blessed to have been "born" in this region.
So one person .... hmmm ...
I think I would like to thank @Big Bad Badger. When I was a noob, he was the TWPAF Commander and tried to teach me raiding. I stunk at that, but he saw potential in me in other ways and stuck with me, mentoring me when he became delegate and including me in his plans. In addition to helping me personally in NS, he has been a huge asset to the region. His reforms began our TWP renaissance. Even after his delegacy, he has continued to be active and supportive.
Thanks, Badger!

@Dilberis the most amazing boss that I have had the pleasure of working for in this game. He inspires me to do work without ending. He is my best friend, he is loyal as hell, he is always willing to give himself to a dedicated cause. He is truly one of the kindest and heart of gold people I have ever met.

Here is some more.
 
@Dalimbarwhile threatening to purge me is an amusing, steady snarky consistent resource and asset to the region. While he may threaten, he has the region's interests best at heart, infamous as almost "evil" Dilber in a sense, his hard working talent leads to the protection of our region. His humor, his participation keeps the region going, while he does quite a bit in the background, I appreciate his opinion, snark and general contribution to the region. People keep the community going, whether in obvious ways, behind the scene, whether in being a pillar of community. TWP would not be the same without trying to bedazzle Dali's banhammer. Dali is a significant and important member of this community that I am lucky to know (seriously). 
@Fujai is extremely hard working. He is always coming up with new ideas for culture, promoting activity within the region and with the newspaper. He has amazing skills and he is just a joy to watch work. He clearly knows what he is doing, and he is a remarkable individual. He is kind, good-hearted, humorous and full of snark.

@Bran Astor You've been one of my closest friends. This was the case before you were my boss. This will be the case after you're my boss. While you're my boss here, you've been one of the best people that I've served under. I like that you challenge me to think in new ways, and I like that you allow me to challenge you as well. I like that we can have very frank discussions and as much as I've be annoyed for a brief couple days, you're always ready for the next discussion that I bring up. You're a true comrade and friend.

Do you really respect someone? Do you admire someone or their hard work? Then use this thread to thank them. Right now we live in uncertain times, the world we create is the one we make. We should spread as much gratitude as we can. Recognize someone in the thread below, list out why they mean something to the region, to you or to thank them for contributions. 

Firstly, I thank @Saint Mark. I joined NS at the time of Halo's reign as Delegate. He showed me that there was a lot more of NS beyond issues, and encouraged me to become a citizen and join the Discord server and forums. Although the delegate change happened not much time after that, I still remember Halo's delegacy, and I thank him for helping me.
I also thank @Ark for introducing me to Foreign Affairs, which was the first ministry I decided to join, and I thank @Bran Astor for being an amazing Delegate and helping me with the Speaker position after I was elected, such as giving me ideas on how to start the Regional Commendations.
Furthermore, I also thank @Reçueçn, @Elegarth, @TUMS and @Mediobogdum for being Trading Cards players that constantly trade cards with me and help keep the TWP Card Channel in Discord active. From all these card farmers, I think I should especially thank @Reçueçn for also encouraging me when I was seeking the last cards for my TWP S1 collection, giving me ideas to contact the players who had these rare cards, and showing me some tools to make card farming faster and less boring.
It is important to say, though, that those are all individual players. I thank the West Pacific as a whole for being a wonderful region! Without you all, TWP wouldn't be the same.

Begining of Revolt
On January 19,1419,Publishing was made legal by the Communists.
A Writer named Tryôn published a book by the name of'The World behind borders',The book mainly focused on history of other Nations.But indirectly made the people realize about how people are living in other nations.This leads to anger and hatred of the government in the people.
At night,at about 21:10,Hundreds of People gather outside thier houses and begin burning down state property.The Communists send Police forces to shoot down anyone who is protesting, Thousands upon thousands of people were killed.
This lead to further anger in the people.At Morning,A Revolutionary by the name of Tòd Han revived the Democratic Union.Members of the Union used to burn down state property and shoot every government official they saw.
Communists saw this as a threat and Tòd Han was Caught and executed.This lead to a state of civil war between the Communists and The Union which lasted a year and with hundreds of casualties both sides.
After about 6 months of Fighting,Both the Sides were entering into a state of Stalemate.Both sides were getting weaker and weaker every month.
Ending and defeat of the Communists
Both Sides were entering into Stalemate.Fearing a partition of Novia Xeneia.
A Revolutionary by the name of Jayé,disguised as a soldier went into the parliament where the Communists and The union were having a debate over a treaty.
Jayé shot the Communist leader twice in the chest,Killing him on the spot.He also shot two of his guards which both survived.Jayé was apprehended by some police men who entered the parliament upon hearing Gunshots.Jayé was hanged without trial.
16 hours after the execution,The Communists officially decided to dissolve the state and handed it to the Union.Thus,Ending the War.
 
 

The Zoranian Times

Crabs Ejected from TWP!
On April 3,1420, in the monthy Purge Olympics, the Guardians of the West ejected the crabbist Regime from the TWP and restored control in the region. While the Resistance had a ceasefire with the crabs to support the election of Giovanniland for General Secretary of the World Assembly, they all cheered as they saw the crabs thrown out of the region by via trebuchets and being crushed by the legendary ban hammers of the Guardians. President Ani'-Wah' had this to say on the matter,
"Zoran is proud to have been part of the Resistance against the Crabbist Regime and we are glad to see the old order of the Meritocracy restored. While this whole Civil War in the Region was brutal I am glad to see peace in our time now. Hopefully unity can be brought to all nations of the region once more."
Resistance Forces 1-4 were broken up and returned to their respectful communes and were welcomed back with celebration and praise by the people of the communes for the troops service for fighting to preserve their autonomy and freedom.
The Defense Council has allowed crabs to be eaten once more but the people have said that they are now suspicious of any crab they see on the shore or in the markets. But the people of Zoran are happy that life has returned to normalcy.
 
Zoranian Platypus has made a comeback!
Today on April 3, 1420, scientists have reported that the population of the Zoranian Platypus has rebounded and has returned to high levels. People all over Zoran cheered and celebrated at this news as they were all worried about the population of the Platypus as industrial expansion had caused the population to decrease to the point where they were on the brink of extinction. Thanks to the combined efforts of public pressure on the federal government and local efforts by citizens of the country, the environmental conditions of Zoran has greatly improved and the natural habitat of the Zoranian Platypus has been restored. This has allowed for the population to rebound and return to stable and normal levels. Now efforts to sustain the population are being done and local communes have imposed laws to protect the platypus and since so many communes have done this, the Defense Council has made the rare decision to make a federal law to protect the platypus.
