Thanks for your interest in Teremara or Wishtonia. We are MT/PMT, realistic/human only, roleplaying regions. It might help to check out our region in advance before applying. Please note the following rules of our regions before you fill out an application:
1. We have a semi-hard cap at 150 million population, but this is negotiable, depending on the applicant. To be clear, this number is the roleplayed population of your nation, not the auto generated GP stats that NS assigns to your nation as you answer issues and gain tenure on the site.
2. Map spots, shapes of coastlines, and number of offshore islands are also negotiable. Depending on cultural and climate descriptions of your nation, we will also direct you to certain areas of the two major continents where your nation will better fit in. We have put a firm cap on not chopping up nations and leaving a landlocked interior spot in the wake. It's not a desirable spot for other incoming members and causes RP issues further down the line. So please don't even ask us to give you coastline without interior continental space.
3. We make decisions on island based nations on a case by case basis, but generally ask that people fill in our existing continents first. If you want to have a small island or archipelago that is Asian or Polynesian cultural based, please consider applying to Wishtonia instead. IC, Wishtonia is due south of Teremara
4. We are not exclusive to players moving their main accounts here. Players may have a presence in other regions, but are possibly looking to expand their RP and canon building opportunities with a puppet/alt in this region. We are fine with that as long as activity level can be maintained in Teremara. We do require that you apply to the thread with the specific account you hope to move into this region, not your main account that you will not move in, or any other NS account.
5. Nations with WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) have already been grandfathered in (4 at current count) and others will likely not be accepted at this time. This does not apply to civilian nuclear energy programs, but only plutonium enriched for weapons purposes. Like population caps, WMDs can be negotiable under certain conditions depending on the player applying, but again, we likely won't approve new WMD armed nations.
6. Teremara and Wishotnia are not closed RP regions, meaning that nations in Teremara or Wishtonia can have relations, economical and political, with non-Teremaran nations, and we encourage our players to seek RP opportunities outside of the region, as well as to keep up involvement inside the region.
7. While not often, we do promote players to the leadership board of Teremara (which also leads over Wishtonia). This is based on a number of factors, but mainly activity level, constructive cooperation, and tenure in the region.
Filling out this questionnaire is mandatory for applying and essential to the process for membership. Please give as full an answer to each question as possible. If any one of them seems redundant to you, or you have elaborated on the matter in a previous answered question, please redirect us to that answer.

CLOSING NOTES:
If you are unwilling or unable to answer these questions in the fullest, the process more than likely won't go very well. Don’t make any assumptions that you can skip any questions because you told us the information on Discord or might happen to already have friends in our region. This application is for all of us to view and make a well balanced decision. Thank you in advance.
Players who already have a nation in the regions may skip the OOC portion of the application if they have previously filled one out. If that is the case, please be sure to make a note somewhere in your app post that you do not wish to fill out the OOC portion again because of that situation.
You may notice that some of this is very similar to an application from another region. I claim ownership to these words, except where noted, and likely the application you saw was the one I wrote for a previous region I was in, or they cribbed my words for their own.
Please feel free to telegram me with any questions you may have. If you do apply, please TG me a notification of that as well. I try to check the thread fairly often, but there may be a lapse so it would speed up the process and cut your wait time if you sent me a quick reminder.
Thanks again for your patience with our process.
