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. If you are claiming Dynamic Citizenship and do not have a WA nation, we recommend you apply here. https://www.nationstates.net/nation=fujai List any current NS affiliations: Including regions or organizations with which you are currently a resident, citizen, or member. TWP, TSR List any former NS affiliations: Including regions or organizations with which you are formerly a resident, citizen, or member. None List any NS aliases you use or have used: This primarily includes nations, names, or identities used in other regions. Hun-Hoen (TSR) Discord Username A Discord account is not required for citizenship. However, much of TWP's social life and ministry coordination takes place on the TWP server. If you have an account, please post your handle here (e.g. "@username", rather than your display name or nickname) so that you can be given the proper roles. smithy876 By posting this application, I verify the following statement: The information I have provided on the Citizenship Form is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge, and I affirm that I have read and understand the TWP Bond of Citizenship.

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.

Hi there! I appreciate you reaching out about this! We also saw the embassy request, and rest assured that it has been thoroughly rejected. Someone seems to have put in a GHR with the site admins and the founding nation has been deleted. TWP is extremely queer and trans friendly and will always be such—we have an absolutely zero tolerance policy for anything that puts our community members in harm's way.

Hello! Could someone please remove Guardian masking from @Dilber and add it to @Noton Mast?

Fujai Folkskommunarna Fujai (fu:'jaɪ, foo-yEYE) is a small coastal nation of just over 7 million residents, located in the north of the Polari continent. Rugby is the most commonly played sport in Fujai, especially in rural and industrial areas of the country.The Dalimbari are often credited with bringing modern rugby to Fujai during their occupation of parts of the country beginning in 1242. The Landslag The Rugby Landslag, colloquially known as Fnokkirni ("the [snow]flakes") is made up of the finest players in Fujai, a few of whome would be considered of truly international quality. It is sponsored by Fujais Rugby Idrottsforbund (FRIF - Fujansk Rugby Sports Federation), a member of Fujais Idrottsforbund (FIF - Fujansk Sports Federation). Most Landslag players come from Fujai's top league, Højserien, though a few come from the second league, Midtserien. The winningest clubs tend to be from the regions of Jornstrand and Mærte, where the sport is most popular. The Landslag is looking to reclaim its historical winnings, and has an eye out for the prize this Cup. Fujais Idrottsforbund Fujais Idrottsforbund (FIF) is the federation of labor unions representing all sports players and workers in sports-associated industries. It is separate from the Fujansk government, but receives accreditation and financial and infrastructural support from it. Its structure includes clubs at the local level (e.g. a local sports club), which are constituents of fylke organizations, which are a part of the larger federation representing specific sports (e.g. Fujais Fotbollforbund for football), which are then members of FIF. Fujais Rugby Idrottsforbund Fujais Rugby Idrottsforbund (FRIF) is the labor union that governs some forms of football in Fujai and represents all players, related workers, and clubs in the country. The main sports under its purview are rugby union, sevens, and league and gridiron football. FRIF's Rugbyseksjon organizes the nation's rugby union league play, with twelve clubs competing at the highest level. The twelve clubs that currently compete in the top flight of rugby union are: Brattisk IF - Brattfors, Vørreshall, Jornstrand Bruland IF - Keiserholde, Keiserholde, Vestfjordarna Hæreby KRF - Hæreby, Vemselag, Mærte Hafstrand 07 FF - Hafstrand, Keiserholde, Vestfjordarna Havnarbetirs IF - Braskvik, Heldingland, Mærte Kalsborg Fossen FK - Kalsborg, Ekemark, Rannland Lakseåkar IF - Lakseåkar, Oppmærte, Mærte RF Ludde - Ludde, Firsmark, Skolland Rønnon IL - Rønnon, Vørreshall, Jornstrand Solbakken IL - Keiserholde, Keiserholde, Vestfjordarna Tåkstads RK - Tåkstad, Mærtesund, Mærte RF Vemdemning - Vemdemning, Vemselag, Mærte Important Notes (!) Editor's note on gender: Fujansk culture does not have individual gender categories. The five common genders were historically recognized, though categories and classifications of gender expression have broken down in the last few centuries, resulting in today's non-categorical perception of gender. Since the Fujansk language does not have gendered pronouns, most Fujar choose choose to use gender-neutral pronouns when interacting in the common tongue, such as they/them. All players on the Landslag use they/them pronouns in the common language. Translator's note: Landslaget translates to "The National Team," while Landslag translates to "National Team." In the common tongue, one would say "the Landslag did well" or "Landslaget did well," not "the Landslaget did well" (the translated equivalent of "the The Landslag did well"). This is because the Fujansk language uses suffixes to create definite nouns instead of articles. See Den Fujanske Ordboken (The Fujansk Dictionary) for more information.
