SummaryWelcome to the East Pacific! We are one of the oldest regions out there, with 20 years of experience. We have a lot to offer, including two current tech roleplays and an accessible legislature and executive.
You are reading STEP, The East's guide to NationStates. Each dispatch contains a summary and then more detailed explanations, including screenshots and detailed insights from our experienced players. If you're new, we recommend reading every dispatch in order, but you can also read them independently of one another.
You have either been founded in a frontier or a feeder, two types of regions which accept new nations. If you find yourself in the East Pacific, please read this guide! If you aren't in the East Pacific, go to The East Pacific and scroll down until you see "Move [YOUR NATION] to the East Pacific."
You'll be seeing a lot of recruitment Telegrams, which can get spammy and annoying pretty quickly. To disable recruitment telegrams, head to Settings > Telegrams > Preferences > Block All under "Recruitment".
Nations receive issues once every six hours. Some issues spawn card packs, which contain cards ranked by rarity that you can retain, trade or sell.
Got questions? Telegram Delegate Merlovich.
IntroductionHello and welcome to NationStates, and the East Pacific. You are currently reading STEP, our guide designed to get you jump started in the game. If you're like other newbies, you'll probably have many questions about how everything works. This guide, lovingly written by our hospitality team, is designed to answer all of your questions, and more. If you want to get a quick summary of things and then get launched into things, you will get the jist of things by reading the summaries on top of these dispatches, however our dispatches aim to be short and accessible while also going into enough detail, so we recommend you read them in full.
If you have any questions, we have multiple government members that are willing to answer them! Feel free to ask on the regional message board, or telegram our Delegate, they will be happy to answer any question you might have!
About Us: The East PacificThe East Pacific is one of five feeder regions who share fifty percent of all new spawns, with the other fifty percent going to frontiers, regions founded by users which also accept new nations, trading guaranteed security for the privilege. If you've let your nation go inactive and Cease to Exist, and then logged back in, you have likely spawned in one of three restorer regions, which are designed to rehabilitate nations that have returned after a brief period of absence.
If you're reading this, it is likely that you have been founded in the East Pacific, however, if you haven't you are still more than welcome to join, and we would love to have you on board. To move, you should go to the East Pacific's regional page, scroll down until you see the Move [YOUR NATION] to the East Pacific and then click on it.
The East Pacific is an active democracy, and participation can be enjoyed by all that seek to contribute in good faith. If you're interested in joining, STEPs Three onwards will take you through applying to the East Pacific.
TelegramsMany regions send you automated recruitment telegrams in an attempt to get you to join their region. There are a lot of these, and it can get spammy and overwhelming fast. Thankfully, NationStates has given you a way to block Telegrams you don't want. To do this, you need to click on the settings button, which is usually found in the top bar of the page.
If you then scroll down to telegrams and go to preferences, you'll see a grid which looks something like this:
Our recommended settings are as follows, however, you are free to choose whatever you want. "Allow Some" occasionally allows telegrams in, and "Allow Most" blocks some. If you click the "block all" for recruitment, your nation will stop receiving the large volume of recruitment telegrams. Keep in mind that your inbox can only hold twenty telegrams.
Issues and CardsIssues are problems that you need to handle, and they impact your nations statistics and rankings abroad. Initially you get a higher rate of issues like normal, however, once you've played the game for a while, you only get one issue every six hours. As long as you abide by general decorum, the East Pacific does not penalise you for the way you answer issues - we're a big community, and your type of nation reflects that.
There is no "correct" way to answer issues, only the way that you want to. Every issue changes your statistics, and some might change your national policy. If you want to, there are websites such as this one that give you the general trend in issue outcomes, however using these aren't necessary and you should only do it if you find it fun!
Issues sometimes generate cards. Cards are minted irregularly and are a snapshot of a nation, divided into various classes of rarity, from common to legendary. Cards can be bought, sold and traded on the market.

Primary and secondary school is relatively straightforward. Private schools are exceedingly rare and often overlooked by the government in favor of public schools due to the ability to standardize curriculums and control what students learn. Private schools that do exist are beholden to strong regulations to prevent elitism in schooling. Public officials within the Directory of Education are banned from sending their children to private schools. Requirements set by the Directory of Education are carried out by individual school districts, which are branches of local government.
To promote from eight-year primary school, students must demonstrate basic language skills with reading and writing proficiency, alongside a comprehensive understanding of basic mathematical concepts, up to and including algebra. Basic Zemedievan and world history is taught, tailored for younger audiences. Activities meant to stimulate the mind and encourage learning while providing engaging fun are prioritized. Primary school certificates are necessary to enter secondary school, but may be skipped by immigrants and children of special circumstances through aptitude tests. In this way, primary homeschooling is permitted as long as it’s made to suit the national standards.
Secondary school has more classes, more subjects, and more choice. Six classes must be taken a year, and all courses are year-long. Across the four years of secondary school, four science classes must be taken, alongside four mathematics classes, four Slaviskas language and literature classes, three history classes, two foreign language classes, one culture class. Finally, two years are required for physical education and the remaining four classes are reserved for elective courses.
Science requirements include chemistry, biology, physics, and psychology. However, one or two elective science classes such as geology, environmental science, anatomy, and pre-engineering are almost always offered, and often taken by students interested in entering a prestigious university or pursuing a scientific education and career. Math requirements include algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Both requirements may be fulfilled by accelerated honors classes as well, which are available in most Directorate schools.
Language and literature classes include Language I, Literature I, Language II, and either World Literature or Creative Writing, though these can be replaced by honors classes. The only language and literature electives offered are Film Studies and Poetry, and they’re typically only found in very large schools. These classes closely relate to the culture requirement, which can be fulfilled solely by the Cultural Studies class, but also with Art, Digital Media, or Music Studies. Usually, however, schools only offer 1-2 of these options. Dance and music programs, which are offered in many large schools, can fulfill these requirements as well. In schools where dance and music teams are student-centered and not institutional, this does not exist.
The three years of history must be filled by Zemedievan History, World History, and a third history class taken from electives. Most commonly, Yastreovakian History, History of Science, and Medieval History are taken to meet this requirement, although Art History, Prehistory, and History of Language are also occasionally offered. What electives are or aren’t offered largely depends on the size of the school. Schools in small towns and villages, then, don’t have many options. In some parts of the Directorate, Yastreovakian History is the only history elective offered. Accelerate honors classes are offered only in Zemedievan and World History.
The vast majority of foreign language requirements are filled by Valish, but some larger schools include other major ones, such as Kampfian, Dancian, and Delphin. Common electives outside of the requirement fields include Economics, Home Economics, Religion, Robotics, and Computer Science. In rural areas, Religion I and Religion II are offered as consecutive courses, but in urban and suburban areas, they are condensed as one class. Accelerated or honors programs are not offered in electives or foreign language courses, although programs on the latter are in production by the Directory of Education, likely to be rolled out in the next decade.
University requirements are way broader, looser, and easier to understand, in order to maximize student choice. Twenty credits are required in the categories of Humanities, Mathematics, and Science. In the field of social science, 15 credits are required to graduate. Finally, 10 credits in foreign language courses are required and 5 are in philosophy and ethics. Running on the trimester system, each class is 5 credits. Overall, the 90 credit general education requirement serves as the basis for a simple college degree. Typically, around 90 are required for a specialization in a certain field, as well, totaling to 180 credits, with an average of 15 per trimester, or three classes.
Most local Zemedievan colleges offer a few vocational degrees and certificates in addition to a basic array of Bachelor’s and a limited offering of common Master’s degrees. These are typically offered in broad, general fields, like physics, chemistry, biology, literature, history, or business. For specialized fields, Zemedievans migrate to larger cities, where universities are more competitive, better funded, and larger in scope. The largest and most prestigious national universities are Sventykla College, University of the Triglav, Pryzova Institute of Technology, University of Anykliai, University of Sarmiestas, and Kurmariai Institute of Technology.
Like many other countries, Zemedievan universities are structured by colleges, which dedicate themselves to specific fields of study, within which departments organize course offerings and curriculums. In addition to the College of the Humanities and the College of the Sciences, there are often engineering and education colleges, which are extensive fields in the Directorate. Medical school and law school are also governed within universities as independent colleges, for the most part..
The educational experience prioritizes lecture learning over all other pedagogical approaches, but larger courses do separate time each week for open discussion and review of lecture concepts. Independent study is heavily discouraged, but guided, structured research alongside a faculty member can often substitute for course requirements, as can certain practical research experiences established through faculty connections. These two are the main ways with which students form professional bonds and enter their chosen industries.
Student governments exist within all universities, from the smallest local college’s elected Student Council to the larger universities’ extended structure with a legislature and executive, alongside many engagement programs. In terms of student governance of university, apart from event-planning, their authority is largely academic – any student government which seeks to recommend policy or form binding resolutions relating to any manner considered ‘political’ is subject to forceful disbandment as part of the legal prohibition on political associations.
This prohibition also applies to clubs on Zemedievan college campuses. However, despite the ban on political groups, clubs centered around cultural identities, religions, sports, community service, various fields of study, hobbies, and more. These groups stand at the center of university culture within the Directorate. Forming study groups is common enough within larger classes, where the learning environment is less social, but many students often prioritize their organizational ties over their class ties when making friends.
Teachers and professors are highly respected within Zemedievan society. Educating, especially educating children and underprivileged citizens, is seen as a noble profession worthy of praise. Certain tax relief programs targeting educators in times of economic recession can be seen, and, even outside that, it is socially unacceptable to treat teachers poorly. Parents who seek to undermine chosen curriculums rarely see change from the empirically-formulated pedagogy of local primary and secondary schools.
The role of local government in education is rather limited, often concentrated in the power of appointing and removing local superintendents, school board members, university presidents, and other administrative officials. Funding and general education requirements come from the national government, whereas the finer points of curriculums, courses, and other academic policy lay in the hands of those chosen administrative officials, who are given a degree of freedom in that realm in order to spur innovation and competition.
Did I create an entire educational system from scratch including detailed general education requirements? Yes. Is there a point to all that? Not reaally.
