Elyreia

Freedom Never Ends -- Better War than Stevism. Better Anything than Stevism.

Square of DIO the Restorer, S'namgib Ytic

"Freedom! Freedom never ends!" A warrior on a luxury mechanical horse, stringing along a traditional Stevist string instrument in exaggerated patriotism, declares. He stands in front of a wide poster that reads "Stevist Veterans for Freedom Everywhere," jealously guarded by several other warriors openly carrying their automatic rifles, plasma MANPADS, and whatever other weapon that could be wielded with two hands. "Men! Women! Warriors! Freedom never ends! We've kicked out the imperial Elyreian navy from our shores and the Kathamori from our steppes, securing FREEDOM in Stevia. But the world must be safe for freedom -- and we must help our Reiwan associates, who fight from oppression with guerilla warfare as we do -- kick out big government once and for all. Veterans! The awakened majority cannot become silent again. We must volunteer to fight against House Torhed, and freedom must never end!"

-----

Most ignore this display -- over-the-top advertisements, heated protests or rallies, and open carry are all too common in the Stevist capital -- but the powerbrokers in the capital are paying attention. They've been the ones to manufacture this situation; when the Kathamori invaded, they've indebted themselves further into the hands of powerful arms manufacturing companies, but also unleashed the Stevist guerillas upon the steppe, well-armed, well-accustomed to violence, and now, extremely experienced in insurgency warfare. While 'patriotic,' a true Stevist fought for two reasons: to become wealthy, and to fight against government control. As long as Kathamori boots continued to trample on Stevia, the world's most capable guerillas were happy to fight mostly for the latter. Only, the world's most capable guerillas wouldn't allow an invasion to go on for long.

What to do now for S'namgib Ytic? Thousands of guerillas weren't going to become wealthy; this was Stevia in reality, with no government support for any sort of welfare system and slim prospects for a rags to riches story, and not the Stevist dream the warriors had fought to defend. If they could not lift themselves up by their stirrups, they would fall under heavy medical debt, and become unemployed on top of it, left to rot in the steppe. It was better war than Stevism, but this was precisely the fear -- once the Stevist veteran freedom fighters, the danger of the steppe, realized they were out of wealth, which government remained for them to exercise their profession? Who would they lift themselves up against? Stevist 'investments' going into West Lebatuck were not popular amongst everyone, and while the new CORPS corporate headquarters brought wealth and expertise into the company, they'd be awfully easy to bomb until the herdspeople learned how asset protections worked in Stevia ...

This question loomed over the Great Nuthak's council, and the answer was as Stevist as it was convenient: find another government to overthrow. Never mind that the situation would repeat itself in the next campaign; there is no obligation to the future, and anyway, war should be perpetual. Besides, everyone in the council knew what Stevism would do to the disgruntled veterans. No, better war than Stevism. Better anything than Stevism.

The Stevists always pay their debts, and right now, one power had been present too long in Stevist waters and absent too much in Stevia's new foreign trade figures: the nation of Elyreia, run by the oppressive House Torhed, fighting a Kathamoti sort of war against the Stevist 'Reiwan' who wanted nothing more than freedom from over-reaching government. And if the Stevists do not pay now, the veterans it owes prosperity to will quickly demand interest.

And thus, with the tacit approval and funds of S'namgib Ytic, a new company dubbed the "Stevist Veterans for Freedom Everywhere" (acronomyed 'SteVets') quickly started to hire hundreds, then thousands, of Stevists, primarily from the rural partisan population. A first batch of about 2,500 Stevists, armed in a variety of smaller arms, would start smuggling themselves into the island nation, through the means of submarines, smuggling rings, Reiwan-controlled territory, airlifts, and bribes, with the goal of teaching the Reiwan the ways of freedom, capitalism, and Stevia's specialty guerilla warfare in the mountains. Several would probably be caught and captured or killed just getting to Elyreia; all the better for S'namgib Ytic. Many would die in action, as their predecessors did in the Kathamori invasion; all the better for the Great Nuthak. All would have complex reasons for choosing to fight in another war, having been scarred by the history of the past one -- this, the power brokers in Stevia did not care much for. What mattered was that the Elyreians, and Reiwan, were somewhat wealthy, but ignorant of the finer arts of business, having been bound by the crippling leash of feudalism. Perhaps the Stevists could even secure some assets, if all goes well! Freedom must never end, even in Torhed pass! FOR STEVE!

Two thousand five hundred Stevists, ready to radicalize the Reiwan into becoming capable combat veterans with a chip on their shoulder -- this was the perpetual war, and this was better than returning to Stevism.

Salutations, Nekoparlitan!

Welcome to the Pacific, the oldest region on NationStates and home of the New Pacific Order for the past 20 years. NationStates can be overwhelming when you first begin (or if you're just coming back!), with a lot of potential ways to play the game and have fun. However, we are more than happy to help you with any queries you might have regarding NationStates and the Pacific. To get started, make sure to read the below list.

  • First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.

  • Once you've joined the World Assembly, you can endorse any nation that is also in the World Assembly. It is extremely important for the security of the region that you make sure to endorse our World Assembly Delegate East Durthang.

  • Now that you've endorsed our World Assembly Delegate, you can join our forums and then apply for citizenship in the New Pacific Order. At most, the process will take a few days, and then after that - you're officially a citizen of the New Pacific Order.

  • The last thing that you need to do to get started is to join our Discord server. It allows you to communicate with all the members of the New Pacific Order, stretching across 3 main branches and other games as well. Since you're a citizen, you'll also get access to the special citizens-only channel too.

Once you've checked everything off the list, you're free to enjoy your time in NationStates as a part of the wider New Pacific Order community. If you want to help out with what we do around here, you can consider Getting Involved - but it is not necessary for having a great time here in the Pacific. If you're not new to NationStates but new to the Pacific, do make sure to still follow the instructions; it helps out a ton!

Hello there, Ins Miyance!

Welcome to the Pacific! There are a lot of ways to enjoy NationStates, and the Pacific caters to all of them. To get started in the Pacific, it's important that you complete the below steps to fully enjoy your experience here in the Pacific and the New Pacific Order as either a new NationStates player, newcomer to the Pacific, or as a returning NationStates player.

  • First things first, join the World Assembly! It's like the United Nations but in NationStates. If you're confused on how to join the World Assembly, this guide should be able to help you out.

    What is the World Assembly and why should I join it?

    The World Assembly, often abbreviated as "WA", is the NationStates equivalent of the real-world United Nations.

    • Vote on game-wide legislation: World Assembly member nations are able to vote on resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly and Security Council, thus allowing you to participate in determining game-wide legislation.

    • Endorse other nations: WA nations may endorse (similar to social media "likes") other nations in the same region as them.

    • Write WA resolutions: WA nations with 2 (two) or more endorsements may submit WA resolutions of their own for the entire game to vote on.

    • Bolster the strength of your region: The more endorsements our delegate, East Durthang, has, the larger the weighted delegate vote in the World Assembly is, granting us more influence over international WA affairs. Furthermore, the more endorsements our leadership holds, the more difficult it is for hostile forces to seek to invade or disrupt the stability of our home.

    • Become a Pacifican Vanguard: Nations who endorse our delegate receive the title Pacifican Vanguard, are featured on this list, and are eligible for exclusive rewards, such as custom nation banners.

    Joining the World Assembly is the easiest step you can take in order to participate more in NationStates!

    How do I join the World Assembly?

    Follow the following five simple steps to get started in the World Assembly. If you need help, click on the spoiler sections to reveal screenshots of each step.

    1. Visit: page=un

    2. Click "Apply to Join". You must have an email registered with your account to access this feature.

    -
    • Please note that the game only allows you to have one nation as a World Assembly member at any given time! NationStates moderation may remove and/or ban your nations from the World Assembly and/or the game for violating this rule.
    • If, for roleplaying reasons, you do not wish to join the World Assembly make a separate nation to use as your World Assembly nation.

    • You will gain access to the internal proceedings of the New Pacific Order and membership in the Body Republic, which allows you to propose changes or new ideas that may aid in the regional direction in the future.

    • Joining the forum leads to the path to the forumside roleplay community as well as the gameside roleplay community.

    • Becoming a Citizen grants you to access our private Discord channels.

    • Citizenship is the first step to becoming an important figure in the region and being able to dictate policy as well as help lead other Pacificans.

    What is Discord?

    Having probably heard about New Pacific Order's Discord server, either from your fellow Pacificans or from simply reading the regional page or dispatches, you might be wondering how to join it. Or not, if you are already a proficient Discord user, simply skip every step until the one where the server link is posted.

    Now, for those unaware, LinkDiscord is a communication app available in browser, PC app or mobile format that allows its users to form large organized communities. These communities are called servers, in most cases, and each one has its own specific organization and set of rules and moderators. The intent of this dispatch is to provide an initial introduction to how to function with Discord and, more particularly, the NPO's server.

    Benefits of Joining Discord

    • The ability to become fully integrated with all opportunities available in The Pacific and make the most out of your citizenship is attained through joining the most active aspect of the region.

    • A chance to help determine the regional direction for the World Assembly votes is also available if you so wish to help dictate our decision for specific proposals, including your own.

    • Discord gives you an easier route to meeting the extant regional leadership, discussing regional affairs, and is necessary for people who aspire to become involved in our government.

    • Inclusion in the full regional experience and introduction to the wider community of the New Pacific Order is available through Discord membership.

    Getting Started with Discord

    The first step would be to make an account in Discord itself. While not necessary to utilize server it is usually recommended due to ease of reusability and practicality. An account is absolutely free and simply unlocks a lot of features that a guest user might not have. Simply go to Linkhttps://discord.com and register an account, preferably with a username that won't breach any NPO rules, and this step should be done. You'll inevitably be prompted to confirm your email, so simply check your inbox.

    With your account registered you now have a few options. You can choose to do one of them, or even all of them. You can open Discord on your browser, download and install the application or download the mobile app. Any of them will work for the purposes of this tutorial, though the PC app is more flexible in terms of functionality (use of one platform does not exclude the use of others).

    LinkClick here to join the NPO Discord server. It is as simple as that after every previous step has been accomplished. Click it and after a prompt to join the server you will be in. Now comes the more specific part.

    Upon joining the server, if you have already applied for citizenship and been accepted (if not, check this dispatch for a guide on how to do it) Linkpost here to request that your account be added to private channels.

    If you have any more questions pertaining to the use of Discord itself, feel free to ask the people within the server for help. We hope your experience within the community is fun and fruitful.
