Dear Sir/Madam, %NATION%, of the East Pacific,
You can either choose to remain here or leave this region for one of the regions that will be advertised to you in your incoming telegrams. (Hint: you probably want to stay here.)
If you do wish to remain here to learn more about NationStates, three things you should do before you get involved with The East Pacific:
1) https://www.nationstates.net/page=tgsettings Block recruitment spams (these settings can be changed anytime.)
2) join the world assembly clicking Apply from this link: (https://www.nationstates.net/page=un) in order to exchange endorsements between your fellow nations and vote on resolutions. You'll need to hit the confirmation link in the email you supply in your nation's settings (https://www.nationstates.net/page=settings.) Once you've done that, you can immediately test if your Endorsements work. Try it by clicking on my nation, Queen Yuno, and scrolling to the bottom. An Endorse button should appear, you can click it and see your nation register. Test and see if it works.
If you join the WA, I will send you an endorsement, too. (Welp, now that I've said this, if I end up forgetting to endo you, telegram me a reminder.)
Instructions for you to follow:
1) Make sure you have your email supplied in: https://www.nationstates.net/page=settings
2) Join the World Assembly using this link: https://www.nationstates.net/page=un
3) Go to your email to click the confirmation link.
4) Now you can vote and Endorse other nations. Click on your World Assembly Delegate Queen Yuno, scroll to the bottom, and click Endorse. (By doing this, you add +1 extra vote to TEP's World Assembly influence. This is a niche feature of the game.)
OPTIONAL FUN PART: now that your nation has become a WA nation(after your email is verified and all,) here's the fun part: I'm not the only individual you can exchange endorsements with. You can collect endorsements by using this endotarting link: https://www.nationstates.net/page=activ ... ember+endo
This is because the active players who are actively endorsing other people, are more likely to endorse you back if you endorse them. (Also, your name shows up in this endotart link in real-time whenever you endorse other nations.) So yeah, do it! If you're too busy to aim for 100 endorsements, you can simply do my nation Queen Yuno and move on with your day. Endorsements aren't everything, although they certainly help me out a lot.
3) Introduce yourself to your neighbors here.
https://www.nationstates.net/region=the ... region_rmb I read our Regional Message Board regularly and I enjoy talking to other nations. I'll probably reply to you there if you write a sustainable post :3
4) Answer your issues daily, but that seems common sense; you only get one Issue per 6 hours, and 5 is the max you can stack up before you're throttled from getting more. So answer 'em as they improve your nation's world rank. Most people are content playing the game like this for years, but if you want more to do, you can create factbooks/stories about your nation in order to potentially roleplay with other nations.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=create_dispatch
Roleplay forum:
Step 1: Register here: http://forum.theeastpacific.com/register and verify your email
Step 2: Make a post here: http://forum.theeastpacific.com/topic/7015830/1/
Step 3: You're free to explore the forum, propose new laws, and roleplay as yourself/your nation!
RP forum: http://forum.theeastpacific.com/forum/3666/
5) Aside from our RMB, we have discord ( https://discord.gg/j5xD2CC ) and Skype chat platrooms ( https://join.skype.com/BuTeFLBTQ0Fn ) to talk about roleplay, NS, or just talk (I'd suggest joining both.) In order to join the NS discord chatroom, you need to create a discordapp.com account first, then copy/paste this url https://discord.gg/j5xD2CC to join, then you can check in regularly or at your own leisure.)
6) "I accidentally left TEP, how do I return?" ---> Simple, just click this link: https://www.nationstates.net/region=the_east_pacific and then click the "Move %NATION% to The East Pacific" button. Furthermore, you should Archive this Telegram so that it doesn't get auto-deleted within your 20maximum telegram inbox, if you'd like to keep this TG for future reference. (Or delete telegrams you don't intend to keep, just keep your inbox beneath 20 TGs, otherwise if it's above 20TGs, the game automatically deletes your old telegrams permanently unless you upgrade your inbox.)
7) Remember to log in! If you don’t log in your nation for 28 days (60 if you set it to vacation mode in your settings,) your nation will Cease To Exist. So please try to log in. (You CAN revive your nation when it dies, but the drawback is that you lose ALL of your collected endorsements AND you need to manually move back to The East Pacific. So please, just log in NationStates at least once per month (or 2 months if set on Vacation Mode.))
I think that's all the basics a newcomer should know, so I'll stop harping on you now.
Good luck playing NS. Hope I helped ^^
If you have any questions, feel free to telegram me back, I do read them. Or better yet, talk on the RMB ^_^ You will notice which ones of us are regulars. If these instructions are too much for you, just do #2, endorsing as many nations as you can find and collecting endos is an integral part of the game. Anyway, don't hesitate to telegram me back, I need more telegrams. P.S. this isn't *really* a bot.

REGIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM YOUR WA DELEGATE-QUEEN YUNO! (AS OF MARCH/2018)
Last week, I submitted a proposal to the Magisterium (The East Pacific's legislature) to increase everyone's endorsement limit from 200 to 250, and yesterday we've increased the endorsement cap to 350! The whole 100 increase is due to my massive boom in Endorsements. Proof: http://forum.theeastpacific.com/topic/7016782/1/
http://forum.theeastpacific.com/topic/7018676/1/ http://forum.theeastpacific.com/topic/7018603/1
(In the past, the regional endorsement cap was 150. Two months ago, I submitted legislation to increase that to 200, which was the endorsement limit until today. If you're interested in doing what I do, register on that forum I linked.)
Starting from today, you are allowed to gather up to 350 endorsements! This makes us the region with the 2nd highest endorsement cap in the game (second only to TNP, but don't start thinking about migrating to TNP now
)
If you haven't endorsed me yet, make sure you join the World Assembly (here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=un you need the World Assembly to be able to gain endorsements in the first place.) Click my nation and find the endorsement button at the bottom. You can do this to ANY WA nation, hence we want as many people in the World Assembly as possible; it boosts our strength and numbers. (Just don't hold multiple WA accounts because that's illegal/cheating.) Please telegram me back if I didn't explain this clearly.
As to how to gather endorsements: You would need to endorse other people and telegram them to endorse you back. Generally, it's better to do this with friends or active endorsers found in this link https://www.nationstates.net/page=activ ... ember+endo Or go down the WA statistics page. It normally takes people longer than a week to get to 100 endorsements, and months to get higher than that, so don't be in a huge rush to get 350 endorsements, take it slow.
Telegram me or ask me on Discord if you have any questions. Now, before you go wild, I will provide you with a top secret link. It only works for World Assembly nations (So join the WA if you aren't one already.)
This is the secret link that I personally use to gain endorsements, you can have it: http://cerulean.nsr3n.info/the_east_pac ... s/index.sh
Just click on "General Endotarting Queries"
Type in "notendorsedby:%NATION%"
Hit Submit, and endorse everyone down that list.
Good luck getting to 300 or 350! Again, don't rush. Besides endorsements, I want you to get involved with our NS community (don't move elsewhere or you lose all your endos, but rather, make a new nation but don't join WA with that new nation. WA main nation stays in TEP...preferably. Regardless, NS only permits 1 WA nation at the same time, per person, so you might as well use it for a game-created-region such as The East Pacific than in a user-created-region where it costs the founder 0 influence to ban you. In a game created region, for each day you remain a resident, your influence number (how much influence it would cost an Officer to ban you) is increased by twice the number of endorsements your nation possesses. This is why endorsements are such an important game mechanic and why I often encourage new players to join the WA. Nations in Game Created Regions are less likely to get banned by rogue Delegates because it's expensive to ban high endorsement nations, but it costs nothing for a Founder of a User Created Region to ban nations. Sorry if I'm overwhelming you with info! You don't need to understand that part, just know that endorsements are fabulous stats to have for your nation :3 )
Here's the NS TEP Discord chat: https://discord.gg/j5xD2CC (Feel free to join. It's easier for me to talk there than in telegrams. We also have military gameplay lessons there if you're interested in that, courtesy of Elfine, a Raider ranked as General of the army; nation-roleplay lessons, world assembly & game cheats by loli memelord Verdrassil(known as Drachen on Discord) and cutthroat diplomat jobs provided by Secretary of State Aeneas Prime(known as Cain on Discord.) Come learn stuff (for free,) and you'll gradually be ranked up.)
Anyway, that's it for today ^.^
Have a nice week!

Greetings %NATION%,
Congratulations on joining NationStates! This is a diverse and exciting game, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the past several years.
Your NationStates experience will depend strongly on the region you choose to have your nation in. Allow me then to welcome you to our region - The North Pacific.
The North Pacific is one of the oldest and most powerful regions in NationStates. We pride ourselves on our strong democracy, openness, and transparency. Our new residents have the opportunity to join in and get involved as soon as they choose to, and are provided with the resources to become among the most influential nations in the world. Simply put, The North Pacific is the place to be in NationStates, and you can [url=/page=dispatch/id=338935]click here to find out why you should also be here[/url].
You will shortly begin to receive recruitment telegrams from other regions. You can compare what each region has to offer and decide which one suits your nation best. I hope that you choose to stay in The North Pacific, and if you do, I recommend that you join our regional forum. Here are some highlights of what you can do there:
... And the list goes on! You can do all of the above simply by registering here: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org
I also strongly encourage you to [url=/page=dispatch/id=338371]join the World Assembly[/url], which is one of the best ways to improve your game experience and increase your nation's power. This is more true in The North Pacific than in any other region - it is no coincidence we have way more World Assembly nations than any of them. You can click the previous link for more details about why and how to join the World Assembly.
If you do choose to join, please consider endorsing your Delegate [nation=short]Gladio II[/nation] (this is me!), and Vice Delegate [nation=short]Siwale[/nation]. By doing so, you help keep our region secure and stable, and help increase its influence in the world. Thanks in advance, and we will be sure to endorse you back!
Whichever region you decide to make your home - and I will be delighted if that is The North Pacific - I wish you the best of luck in it. While deciding, treat yourself to some of our famous rum (comes in cocktails too!). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, either by responding to this telegram, or on the regional forum.
Best regards,
[nation=short]Gladio II[/nation].
P.S. If you find the torrent of recruitment telegrams distracting, you can easily turn it off. First, go to your [url=/page=tgsettings]telegram preferences[/url]. From there, you can change your settings for Recruitment to Block All, or any other setting you prefer.
Congratulations on joining NationStates! This is a diverse and exciting game, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the past several years.
Your NationStates experience will depend strongly on the region you choose to have your nation in. Allow me then to welcome you to our region - The North Pacific.
The North Pacific is one of the oldest and most powerful regions in NationStates. We pride ourselves on our strong democracy, openness, and transparency. Our new residents have the opportunity to join in and get involved as soon as they choose to, and are provided with the resources to become among the most influential nations in the world. Simply put, The North Pacific is the place to be in NationStates, and you can [url=/page=dispatch/id=338935]click here to find out why you should also be here[/url].
You will shortly begin to receive recruitment telegrams from other regions. You can compare what each region has to offer and decide which one suits your nation best. I hope that you choose to stay in The North Pacific, and if you do, I recommend that you join our regional forum. Here are some highlights of what you can do there:
- Become a legislator in the Regional Assembly.
- Join the government by signing up for the Executive Staff.
- Learn about exciting military gameplay by enlisting in the North Pacific Army.
- Join our map and roleplay your nation in the Democratic Union.
- Vote and run for delegate and other offices.
... And the list goes on! You can do all of the above simply by registering here: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org
I also strongly encourage you to [url=/page=dispatch/id=338371]join the World Assembly[/url], which is one of the best ways to improve your game experience and increase your nation's power. This is more true in The North Pacific than in any other region - it is no coincidence we have way more World Assembly nations than any of them. You can click the previous link for more details about why and how to join the World Assembly.
If you do choose to join, please consider endorsing your Delegate [nation=short]Gladio II[/nation] (this is me!), and Vice Delegate [nation=short]Siwale[/nation]. By doing so, you help keep our region secure and stable, and help increase its influence in the world. Thanks in advance, and we will be sure to endorse you back!
Whichever region you decide to make your home - and I will be delighted if that is The North Pacific - I wish you the best of luck in it. While deciding, treat yourself to some of our famous rum (comes in cocktails too!). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, either by responding to this telegram, or on the regional forum.
Best regards,
[nation=short]Gladio II[/nation].
P.S. If you find the torrent of recruitment telegrams distracting, you can easily turn it off. First, go to your [url=/page=tgsettings]telegram preferences[/url]. From there, you can change your settings for Recruitment to Block All, or any other setting you prefer.

Welcome to NationStates, a political simulator game. You're probably very overwhelmed, and we're here to help with that.
My name is Davelands, and let me be the first to bid you welcome to The West Pacific!
~Where the coffee is always fresh, the bar always open, and there's Karaoke every Friday.~
You'll be getting a lot of telegrams from different people wanting you to join them about now, and if you'd like, you can turn them off by visiting https://www.nationstates.net/page=tgsettings and changing the recruitment setting to "block all."
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
All of us here hope you'll stick around. We're one of the best regions in the game with just about everything any region can offer, so that makes the decision easy! Our region is the best place to learn how to play the game, meet new people, and get involved at your own pace, because we've got tons of new players just like you!
You can quickly learn way too much about the game by reading the Survival Guide.
We also have a handy Information Guide and Rulebook for the region right here.
Drop on by the Regional Message Board and say hello! There you'll find the residents of our region talking, and our two events, Punday Monday and Karaoke Friday. And don't worry, we only bite on full moons.

Join us today!
You can join the NationStates World Assembly here!
The World Assembly is very similar to a certain international institution in our own world, complete with resolutions and commendations and strongly worded letters!
Once you become a member, your first duty is to endorse the Delegate, Davelands (me) and the Guardians. You can find the list of Guardians in this dispatch.
The more endorsements the Delegate has, the more secure the region is from outside influences and the more power The West Pacific holds in General Assembly and Security Council votes.
After that, endorse any nation that you like. Most times, a nation that you endorse will endorse you back, thereby increasing your influence in the region. Just remember that the regional Endorsement Caps are based on you endorsing the current Delegate. Your maximum allowed endorsements are 10 if you don't endorse the Delegate and 100 if you do.
To endorse a nation, click on a nation to go to their page, scroll to the bottom, and click on the button that says "Endorse Xxxxxxx".
You will probably find it fun answering the resolutions in the General Assembly and Security Council. Remember that General Assembly resolutions that pass will have a small effect on your nation.
We discuss all World Assembly resolutions in a special section of our off-site forum
http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index.php?/forum/15-world-assembly-affairs/
If you have any further questions, you can always send me a Telegram! I'll be more than happy to help you out.
The best place to get your questions answered is to post a message on the Regional Message Board. There is usually someone on there 24 hours a day who can help point you in the right direction. You can also find help on the Forum and the Discord server.
As a Game Created Region where new nations are created, it is our duty to help new nations out. We have lots of people who love to help!
And once again, welcome to The West Pacific! I hope you enjoy yourself and decide to stick around!
Yours truly,
Davelands
World Assembly Delegate of The West Pacific
P.S. We really do have karaoke every Friday! And even puns on Monday!

If you look above, you'll see the welcome telegrams of the five largest regions in-game, and my question is: With telegrams like these, is it any wonder? They get to, without paying, tell you all about their region, and do it first! If GCRs were truly the best regions, they would be able to survive without these welcome telegrams, I propose. It's only fair that these regions, which already have a headstart, getting all the nations founded in them, should have to pay money, use API, or do manual recruitment. These telegrams, of course, do also have useful guides for getting started on NationStates--but so do a lot of recruitment telegrams, and so do most regional welcome telegrams, not to mention the "Welcome to Nationstates" telegram every player gets from Max Barry. Furthermore, three of these telegrams get to telling players to turn off recruitment telegrams before everything else! I don't think it's fair that that's permitted to be the case. I expect a lot of GCR-based players to argue that it's different, but we all know where their interests lie.
I'm not advocating that GCRs should have to spend money (after all, API is valid for recruitment TGs as well), just that their welcome telegrams should be buffered like recruitment telegrams, and need to be marked as such.
