As I stated on the RMB, I fell victim to food poisoning and recently left the hospital. This cause my absence. I'm extremely sorry- you guys aren't the only thing I need to catch up on at this point.
Begging your pardon-

And I thought my plate was full with Spanish, Dutch, and Korean.

Hello Friends of TWP!
During the last few weeks, a mixture of me being severely sick with a throat infection and posterior flu, plus having to keep working to avoid getting sidetracked kept me away from the level of activity that I desire to maintain as Advocate of the Voice. As last week came to a close, I was hopeful to start regaining my activity, but alas, the management of the Fortune 50 global company I work for decided differently.
This technology company that I've worked for 5 years already is going through a split process to become two new frtune 50 companies (some Google should help you know who I work for ) and in this split, which implies employees, processes, assets, and another several thousand details has set up an internal overcharge office for people to work on to make this split happen. This special office is time-demanding and implies a lot of time, since people who gets elected to it are required not only to keep their own roles up to date, but also to perform the extra roles the office demands... and I've received notification that I'm now a part of it till the end of July / start of August.
With this, it is unlikely that I can come back to my desired activity level to perform my duties as the Advocate of the Voice, and it would be unfair to continue without an Advocate that is not only willing - as I am - but who also has the time.
As per the Charter of the Voice:

Since I don't want to create a further hassle, I'm opening up the candidacy declaration as of tomorrow, and it will be open for 3 days, after which we will held a vote for 5 days. My resignation will be effective as of the moment the new Advocate is elected. I'll be asking my current Deputy Advocates to report in the Echo Chamber - the working area of the Advocate and his Deputies - to report their current processes and tasks for the future team to pick it up. I'll also like to advise the next advocate to make use of the experience of the current DA's in his team, to improve results and allow for a smooth transition.
I'll continue with my tasks as Guardian of TWP, and I do intend to continue as an active part of this community. I hope I can come back to full activity during August, once I'm freed from the extra tasks I'll be dealing with.
I love you all!

Drachmaland greets all the great buddy nations in TWP! 
 
Drachmaland has two colonies (puppet nations) that are also located  in TWP: Obolos and Akanes. We use our colonies for mining ores and industrial minerals that help our economy.
 
Since we don't have a Factbook yet, please let us share with you some information regarding our nation:
Drachmaland gets its name from drachma, one of the most ancient units of currency in the world. Obolos is obol, another ancient unit of currency (and weight); six obols make one drachma. Akanés is a sweet similar to lokum, but flavored with fresh butter (instead of fruit essences). Drachmaland is the only Debtocracy in NationStates — a pun on debt & democracy, since the name of our country has to do with money. Our motto ("Molon labe!") is what Leonidas told the Persians when they asked him to surrender his debts weapons; it means "come and get 'em". I don't know whether we're supposed to post OOC/RL stuff here, but the guy behind Drachmaland is an aeronautical engineer in his mid-forties. If posting this is not acceptable, mods please feel free to delete it. Hope to see you around and have fun!

Hello, all!
I'm Zazula, a proud nation-member of TWP.
Right now I'm off to read the basic/necessary topics.
See ye all around!

Hello TWP.
 
I settled this nation in TWP a few days ago and joined the regional forums yesterday.  These two complementary events have led to an inevitable climax:  a formal introduction.
 
So, here it is....
 
Heeyo!
 
 
My Nation...

I'm new to NS and created the nation of The Chinese Mainland yesterday. This looks like it's going to be interesting!
 
 

I saw that the West Pacific map topic was inactive, so I made a new one!


If you want your nation on the map, just say where you want the nation, and what color you want it to be on the map. If you want to put your nation on the map yourself, you can download the file by clicking on the map. If you want to make a map of your nation, follow this simple tutorial.

Lol, you should get used to the craziness

Or maybe I wanted to see Welcome, yummy to meet you o.o maybe I'm hungry. >.> hmmm? 
 
Lekker means nice. For example, lekker eet (have a nice meal) <--not exactly a direct translation, but it essentially means that. We can be very lazy with words. Also lekker dag (have a nice day). You have to pay attention to the sentence context.  
 
pfft, now that I think on it, I should have just said  "Welkom, Bly te kenne." Though that is more formal for my taste. The previous statement was the informal way.  

Lol.

>_>

Waaaaaat? It does!
 
You say “Koekjes zijn lekker,” not “Jij bent lekker...”
 
Well, I mean unless you're a cannibal or a sphynx.

 
In Dutch: Welcome, yummy to you to meets.
 
I would say Welkom, leuk je te ontmoeten.
 
Then again, some of the weirdness has to do with the fact that Afrikaans doesn't conjugates verbs and Dutch does.

Um, I don't know what lekker means in Afrikaans, but in Dutch it means yummy.

welkom, lekker om jou te ontmoet.  
 
Direct translation: Welcome, nice to meet you   

Hello! I thought your nation was in the middle east because of what your countryball was wearing, sort of like Qatar or Bahrain, as they are both island nations. Our nation is also an island nation, based on the small island of Naissaar near Estonia.

Goedenavond en 안녕.

Yo bro!
