Yes, of course. I assumed the evil would be taken for granted.

Welcome to your new embassy! Please note the cute and fluffy decor!

Apologies for the delay. If you are looking for an in-game embassy, contact Darkesia. I only have power over in-forum embassies. However, just so people in general know, I intend to contact the delegate to figure out exactly how I can respond to in-game embassy requests in the future, since I've been contacted about that before. In fact, I'll do that right now. Edit: after re-reading Vandoosa's request, I realize that she actually asked for a forum embassy, not an in-game one. The request will thus be granted. Glorious Nations of Iwaku's forum has been created.

Sorry, realize it's late, but go ahead and combine them if you want to (and if you haven't already). It's up to you. *bows to the mighty powers of editorialness*

*hurriedly sweeps out cobwebs*

Welcome! Glad to see a response! If or when you should need it, you already have an embassy thread in our forums here. It dates from *before* our recent inactivity... a loong time ago.

This makes sense to me. TWP's foreign policy should normally direct its military and intel operations, in my opinion. (Obviously right now it's a bit different due to PD and Vlagh's *much* higher level of experience than me.) Thus I think all the DA's should have access to the the FA private forums, but not necessarily vice versa. Of course, for now, it will be a moot point since I'm also guardian.

Thank you!

It would still be good if you would remove those flags from your second ad so we can avoid an international crisis.

Fixed. Although I copied the template from your last dispatch in gameplay, and he wasn't on there...

It has been posted in gameplay and the ambassadors have been instructed to post it in their embassies.

Zeke: you are assigned to The North Pacific. Please join their forums and let them know you are TWP's ambassador. If you have any questions, PM me. Big Bad Badger: You are assigned to The East Pacific. Your job for now will be the same as Zeke's. These assignments are subject to change. All ambassadors: Please repost the foreign update posted here: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?ns=1&f=12&t=292096&p=24827100#p24827100and here: in your assigned embassies.

However, with the creation of a new regional newspaper, Dass Nachrichten, this now falls under the purvue of United RussoAsia, Deputy Advocate of Media. Thus this is probably the last dispatch in this format you'll be seeing. Even future foreign affairs updates may be published in the DN. If, though, you can't wait until the first issue of Dass Nachrichten comes out on the 12th (subscribe on our forums!), here are the latest happenings to tide you over. Darkesia has been continuously reminding everyone that she wishes to step down soon, and has begun transitioning, announcing new guardians, A conventional convention has been held, and a new constitution adopted, New officers have been elected (see above) and many old, abandoned offices brought back to life, And a fan fiction festival is being organized. Of course, much more detail could be given, and activity has been non-stop on the RMB and the forum, but this is the main, more political news. Foreign Policy Update As the new Deputy Advocate of Foreign Affairs, I have taken over TWP's long dormant Foreign Affairs office in our foru government. I recently shoveled out enough dust and cobwebs to be able to sit down at my desk; however, much work remains before the mise-à-jour can be completed. Many embassies in other regions' forums will need to be reopened, old threads in our own forums sorted through, and treaties reinstated. Ambassadors are once again being received in TWP's forums, but it has so far been quiet. Because it is impossible to deal with every region individually and at once, a broad declaration of our policy will have to do for the moment. However, I believe that this policy, although generalized and not specific to our relations with any one region, is indeed applicable to almost every individual case. This is because TWP is not aligned with any large group in game-play, but is considered unique, independent, isolated, even irrelevant. Whether negative or positive, this "outside looking in" position gives us an exclusive view of the relations of the other regions, both with each other, and with us. The common groups in game-play are often listed as raider/defender/imperialist/independent. TWP is not a part of any group, and the word "independent" already being taken, we must describe ourselves as "unaligned." While we certainly do have treaties and alliances with other regions, these are made in such a way not to tie us down to the ideals of others. There are those who would construe this negatively, describing or position in relation to the rest of the game as an unfortunate consequence of our internal policies, notably the separation of our in-game government from our forum government. Nonetheless, not only are the effects positive--we have the envied position of being able to control our own affairs without offending anyone--but they are not entirely caused by a manifestation of our internal policy. While internal policy certainly plays a part, any perceived irrelevancy is due to a lack of activity in our foreign affairs ministry for half a year or more. This inactivity is coming to an end now. TWP's forum government will be reaching out, expressing its goodwill, affirming that of others, and building ties with their governments. As described earlier, our non-alignment will allow us to reach out to a wide variety of regions, regardless of their R/D status, interact with them. We will be able to reach out to all forms of government and perhaps write treaties with them, so long as they recognize our self-determination and unique commitment to an in-game delegacy unfettered by outside forces, whether that be our forum, or other regions. Come see us at embassy row! Or just drop by and chat on our RMB!

Hey, Welcome Avallond! Nice to see you on the forums.

Belated thanks for the update! An enlightening interview as well.

Belated thanks for the update and invitations. Next time, feel welcome to cross-post gaming invitations such as those in our clubhouse forum as well--you may better reach your target audience there.

Many thanks for the update, and apologies for the lack of an official response to the most recent one: as you know, this office has been chronically abandoned.

Lol, No, nobody wants to look like unibot: either because they hate him, or because they know that if they did look like him, then they'd be hated. Although that does tie nicely into a question I wanted to ask: is this going to be published in the Gameplay forum? I think it ought to be if you really want anyone to read it, but then on the other hand, no matter what you say in the gameplay forum, there'll be someone to hate on you for it. It's better than not having any readers though, in my opinion. As for what else I'll be submitting, there will be at least a second part of the article I started (note it's title part I) and maybe a third, both similar to the first in length.

Thanks for the update!

Thank you.

Simple Country: your application has been accepted. You are assigned to Osiris. Please join their forums (actually, I'm assuming you already have) and introduce yourself as TWP's ambassador. As I have told the others, I will soon have an update for you to post. If you believe your level of NS activity is sufficient, you are also assigned to Unknown, where you will do the same. Please let me know if you accept or decline this second assignment.

URA made them. Send him a PM or a TG. I think your interpretation is backwards: The BlackHawks and LWU (and TBR, the third flag with a bullet hole in the head of the horseman--actually a nice artistic/symbolic touch) are shown as being the targets of our military. Defenders would love us. However, as DAoFA, I intend to institute (or maintain, rather) an independent policy, so it would still be good not to effectively declare war on any regions right off the bat. I struggle to think of anything that it *would* be PC to shoot at, however. Probably the target should be just the red and white rings with nothing specific in the middle,

Fish, in general I believe our policy is to not grant embassies here until they are requested. Although all the precedent around here is under a layer of cobwebs a couple feet deep, so it's hard to tell. In any case, this embassy not really a problem. It's more of a JSYK thing for future reference.

I was wondering about that: does the new constitution affect the position of Minister of Legislative RP? I assume it was not intended to, but I think the position should be mentioned in the constitution if we want it to continue existing. Also, it's my personal opinion that the office should be renamed: "Minister of Legislative RP" sounds like someone who moderates role-play in the RP forums, not somebody with much actual power. Sorry, the voice of the union forum is probably best adapted to this discussion.

Thanks Tomb! In other news, i look forward to working with my new set of colleagues.
