Lots of pew pew.

Unfortunately.

Correction: that makes a popular RP. It rarely makes a good one.

The problem with yours is that it's very niche and exists outside of the overarching NS universe. While there's nothing wrong with that sort of RP, and in fact I'm trying to get just such a one off the ground right now myself, it's hard to get the vast majority of players to branch out from playing their nation's governments and military. You can rarely even get them to play their own citizens.

Any news on my NSTrainer app yet?

This has been said to everyone, but I'll bring it up again: the decision on your trainer app will be announced as soon as it's made. Until then, be patient. Pestering to find out 'how far along' it is only makes it look like you're in it for the title, as part of the thing people who are judging this are looking at is how much you help without even being asked/without a reward. Relax, it takes a few weeks to get through, since there's five people working on this and you need a majority to get accepted.
If you ever have an RPing question, please TG me about it.

I do believe that I would make an excellent Trainer or even a Mentor. I bring a wide variety of knowledge to learning situations, and even, outside of learning situations. Fellow nations may argue that my nation is far too small or weak for you to allow me to become a Mentor or Trainer, but I assure you I am quite capable.

Follow the proper application as well, and they will consider you for trainership.
Mentorship only comes when someone leaves for any reason.
Just know when it's real and when it isn't.

The exact goals of the Intergalactic Committee aren't clear. The charter says the alliance wants to "unite together to bring peace and harmony to the universe" and has some white-knight/lawful good stipulations for joining (don't glass worlds, don't use WMDs, respect sapient rights, sovereignty, etc.) but it never says what it is the organization actually plans to do. Is the idea simply to strengthen each member nation by assisting each other in domestic matters? Is the Intergalactic Committee going to go out and enforce its ideals of "peace and harmony" through diplomatic, economic or military strength? What, exactly, is the purpose of the Intergalactic Committee, in a concrete way?

Also, a section on trade and defense would be good. How is trade conducted between members of the Intergalactic Committee? Is it free trade, restricted trade, favored trade, no difference in policy from trading with any other nation, or what? Militarily, are members of the alliance required to sign pledges of non-aggression or mutual defense to each other? Will the Intergalactic Committee have its own standing military force drawn from the forces of its member nations, or is each individual state expected to contribute its fleets and armies in the interests of the organization where needed?

That's all from me for the moment.

The main problem here is he's declared war on a place that, while it exists IRL, does not in the NS universe. Don't even worry about RPing with them if you don't like the way they RP, because nations like them come in all the time, make ~20 posts about taking over the world, get bored and leave. Not even worth worrying about, is my opinion here.

If the RPer wants it to exist in his RP then it does exist in his RP. From what I can tell, most people have their own set definitions of the NS universe, and there is no "one size fits all" definition from such.

This entirely and completely.

For instance I largely RP in NSVerse as being the regions on the NSWorld map and some other regions (e.g., I hold land in Guanxi, which isn't on the NSWorld map but I consider it apart of my cannon and my NSVerse), archipelogoes and selected countries dependent on nations I'm rping with.

If I wish to join an rp that's largely based in RL geography then RP as either a merchantile empire in the Med or as a lolUK.

Not sure. Send me a TG or something about your claims and I will post them on the forums we have.
I believe your claims will be changed over to the new map when it gets finished.

I disagree based on the ruling that you can't RP as real life nations. The idea that they did exist ICly is accepted, but for them to exist in the present requires someone to role-play as them, which isn't allowed in II and NS.
If you want help with something, simply send me a telegram. I'll do my best to respond intelligently, and if I can't I'll refer you to someone who can.

If you're RPing with someone who RPs their nation as what is pretty much a carbon copy of an IRL nation, it is allowed iirc.
