Balance changes made to requested statistics:
SpoilerDenton: No balance changes made. Note: 2-letter code DN already taken, please choose another and indicate it on the Big Book of Numbers. Also, let me know if you'd like the NDR represented differently.
Clarinatia: Average population density requested, below average given due to cold climate and large size of country.
Materos: No balance changes made. You requested below average population density, I tried to honor that and pinned it to around Fiji's population density as an Earth analog.
Eotria: No balance changes made.
Indiguria: Average population requested, below average given due to below average population density being requested, large size of country, and harsh, cold climate. Note: 2-letter code IN already taken, please choose another and indicate it on the Big Book of Numbers.
Plateana: No balance changes made.
Kion: A statistic needed to be reduced for balance reasons, GDP/capita was chosen due to references to civil war in your Mapplication™, indicating economic unrest.
Dexian: Above average GDP/capita requested, below average given for balance reasons and due to long-term political and economic unrest referenced.
Albiceleste: No balance changes made, we just used your old stats.
Seryozvia: Below average population density requested, above average given due to small size of country and favorable climate - if we went with below average your population would be very small. Below average GDP/capita requested, far below average given due to active political violence.
Teutokrainiya: Below average population density requested, average given due to small size of country and favorable climate (similar to the south coast of Mexico)
Satavahan: No balance changes made.

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:
SpoilerBond of Citizenship
The West Pacific welcomes to our shores all who wish to work for the betterment of our region. We are an ever-developing community and collaborative effort constantly striving for improvement. We work to make our home the best it can be. Nations who wish to be part of The West Pacific as Citizens must understand and respect the Bond of Citizenship:
We will protect you — We are all Westerners. We will not allow anyone to harass you and we will defend you and retaliate against those who wish you harm. We protect our own.
We will grant you access and meaning — The more you want to do, the more you can do with us. Prove your merit through your productive labour and you shall reap the fruits of your labour. Work hard and you will progress.
We will honour your experience and intellect — We all come from different ways of life. To function as a community we come together, share our ideas, and hash out differences on how to improve our region. Your perspective can make a difference.
You will be loyal — Those who seek personal power above all else will not survive here. You work for our collective community, you work for meritocracy, delegate supremacy, and that the West is Best. We’re all in this together.
You will engage — There is no merit in being silent. Put in as much effort as you can give, everyone has their own abilities and skills. Know however that those who do not put in the work cannot claim to be a Westerner.
You will not be a dick — We’re a family and a community in the West. Be neighbourly and kind to your regionmates. Failure to behave will result in removal from the community.
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.

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.
