If that is the case, I can say that we got tired of the charade. The way we run things in the region is honest. There is no smokescreen in TWP. What you see is what you get. Our innovation (actually TAO's innovation) was the Guardian system, designed in response to influence to protect a minnow delegate. Our most recent innovation is to separate the in-game government from the off-site community government. This allows any community member the freedom to create any government or structure in which they can raise the interest, enthusiasm and activity in order to sustain it. The sky is the limit in TWP.

Once upon a time in The West Pacific....some players got bored. Well...this wasn't a TWP thing, it was an NS wide thing really. But in TWP it manifest itself in the times of The Core, The West Pacific Directorate, and The Triumvirate. Some of those that participated in the coup were Dilber, Biyah, Moo-cows with Guns, Zorn. It was short lived. There is a thread on our current forums that tells some of that story:
http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index ... p-history/
Some years later, we got back to a point where TWP had a system with a lower and upper house legislature. The upper house became an old boys club. Only they could choose their members, and they could override the Delegate. Delegate The Faeyas quit the game over this disfunction, and her Vice Delegate, Wickedly Evil People (with my support as Minister of State Security) abandoned that government. After this, came the TAO Constitution where we clearly recognized the ingame authority of the Delegate, and the rights of the offsite community at the same time. This was later replaced by the NationStates Republic under Delegate Punk Reloaded.
Today, TWP's format is based upon TAO's original concept.

The feeders seem less stagnant than they were a couple of years ago.
As for TWP, I believe the guardianship works for two reasons, the members of the Guardians trust and respect each other. They are not the same person, have the same thoughts, nor do they agree on everything. But they do agree on the most important things and that is, the game is the where the choice of delegate is made and that in game delegate has the right to form whatever government they so desire.
There's both a cockiness and humility within that concept.
