Welcome to The East Pacific - Let's get started!

So you’ve stumbled upon the forums of The East Pacific (TEP)! We’re a region known for being very friendly and accepting of all nations, regardless of background. We’re also a highly active region looking for talented people to step up and get involved! Be bold! Do things! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes or ruffle a few feathers!

You probably fit into one of three categories:[ul]
[li]A nation completely NEW to Nationstates. Congrats, and welcome to the game! Keep reading on to figure out what you can do in this region!
[li]A nation that has been in TEP for a while but hasn’t registered on the forums. Keep reading on to figure out what you can do in this region!
[li]An ambassador or a nation from a different region interested in TEP. We’d love to have you here! Keep reading on to figure out what you can do in this region!
[/li][/ul]As you’ve guessed, the message is pretty close to the same: we want to see you here, mingling with us, having fun, etc. So, this post is basically a mini toolbox for you to get acclimated with us! Read on:

[Edit History]: 03/22/13 - updated citizenship paragraph and link - Jurisdictions;

Hello fellow TEP nations! I’m entirely new not only to nationstates but to the concept of forums as well! My nation is the NationofClassics and we are a republic. I was told by a prominent member to mention something weird about myself here, so I have a passion for anything classical in the sense of ancient civilizations. NOT music. I love pie and can’t wait to leave calculus class everyday. Any advice that can be given by anyone would be wonderful and I can’t wait to complete the process to become a full fledged TEP citizen!!!

Retired Greyhounds here. Glad to be here and hope to have some fun. :B)

I am the glorious nation of The United Soviet Socialist Republics. We are a group of United Socialist States, and we aim for equality. Down with right-wing fascists! :3

Oh yeah, and I’m basically Soviet Russia.

Welcome, folks! And Soviet Russia, eh? In The United Soviet Socialist Republics, nations welcome you!

Hi. My nation is the Jingoistic State of Moonmoon. Our motto is “We Don’t Give a Crap.” Totally new to this game so I’m just kind of feeling my way around in the dark here!

Greetings,

My nation is called Boeftopia. I’m new to the game. I guess I understand the general idea of the game, but I haven’t yet fully understood the purpose of joining a region (other than influencing the decisions in the WA). Hopefully I’ll catch on after reading a bit more on the forum.

Hello East Pacific, The Republic of Kharon is new to the game. Our motto is “Through the Chains of Tartarus, We Climb”. Glad to be a part of TEP!

Heyo! Welcome to our region, and our forums! There’s quite a bit of stuff to do around here. Just like your first visit to a gelatto stand, best to try all the flavors!

Greetings commrades

I want to say, that i am pleased to join this region.

I prefer socialistic idology and communism.

I just want to tell, that i want to make the best for the game and the WA. So please… Endorse me.

Thanks for youre time.

Greetings,

I am the Oracle of Liberty. I represent the People’s Republic of Quinntopia.

In Quinntopia, we realize that there will never be a Utopia. However, we feel that with maximum freedom, and minimal government we can oppress the least about of people.

We believe in free market principles, but only when they are based on a sound currency. Again, like in life, we will never find a economic Utopia. We believe that government should not pick winners and losers in any aspect of life.

We are a non interventionist society, that does protect itself. We will protect from threats. Preemptive war is a violation of the society that we exist in.

If you believe in personal freedom, limited government, and sound economics, come join us in spreading the message around the world.

We are very new to this game, and would love to be mentored in how to create a successful nation.

Thank you and I look forward to learning about all of your nations.

Hmm, non-intervention (foreign) policy, limited government, for individual freedom and sound economics…

There’s a Bai Lungese politician who espouses these views except for the non-intervention bit. He is a total hawk and believes in the idea of spreading democracy through wars and selling bombs to allys.

We are a Socialist Democracy that tries to put the focus on bettering the lives of our people by allowing equal access for all. We are military non-interventionists by nature but are willing to help in other ways. I’ve had a few countries on NS before (mainly Grays Krai and Jeremiascottpolis) but never really got involved in the forums and would like to do that now. I hope I can contribute something good! https://groups.tapatalk-cdn.com/smilies/52127/1536592182.6772-smiley.gif?ttinline=true
