@The Kharkivan Cossacks and @Indiguria both accepted! You should be reached out to by the relevant Ministry leaders shortly.

If you'd like to move a nation back into TWP, let us know and you may be reconsidered.

Please update @Varanius's masking to Delegate of the West and remove mine ❤️

Apologies for our delays, @Albiceleste and @Urengis you both are accepted, you will be reached out to by the Ministries you indicated this week. @Urengis please remember to submit a TWPAF application and complete the TWP Diplomat test before you can be accepted into TWPAF and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. @Coralland and @Myy Nation neither of you have submitted a Claim of Citizenship. Please do so here and we will process your Government Application as soon as possible.

Example Claim of Citizenship Claim of Citizenship There are two forms of TWP Citizenship, which are you claiming?

If you want to use a different nation in the future, let us know in the "Citizen Nation & WA Changes" thread. https://www.nationstates.net/nation=fujai Link your World Assembly nation: Your TWP nation must be in the World Assembly to claim Static Citizenship. To claim Dynamic Citizenship, your WA nation may be elsewhere, but you must link your WA nation regardless.

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. There is no forum activity requirement. Dynamic 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 Dynamic Citizenship, join a Ministry by submitting a TWP General Government Job Application. An up-to-date list of TWP Citizens can be found here. Maintaining Citizenship Citizenship is audited every 3 months in January, April, July, and October. In order to maintain your citizenship over each 3-month period, you must meet the requirements for your type of citizenship as outlined below. If you have lost Citizenship previously, you must re-claim it by following the same steps in this thread. Static Citizenship Requirements: Keep a WA nation in The West Pacific. That nation is endorsing the Delegate. Notes: To change your primary resident or WA nation, let us know in this thread. There is NO forum activity requirement. Citizens mobilized as Powder Monkeys in TWPAF are exempted from the WA requirement for the duration of their mobilization. Contact the Sergeant-at-Arms for any questions. Dynamic Citizenship Each service area has different requirements for maintaining Dynamic Citizenship. Those requirements are listed here in the spoiler, all based on the 3-month citizenship period: Notes: Real life comes first. If you cannot fulfill the requirements for your service area due to your real life responsibilities, please simply let folks know and it will be totally fine.
