Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

TODAYS SPOTLIGHT IS ON NEASMYRNA.
The following is an interview between Neasmyrna and an AWP Inquirer staff member;

Quote:
 
So whats your NS nation name ?

Neasmyrna and Petalumadom (and a TON of other puppets floating around the nationsates world)


What made you choose that name ?

Petalumadom is the city I live in with a "dom" added afterwards... lol

Neasmyrna is "nea" meaning new, Smyrna. Smyrna is modern-day Izmir which is located in Turkey, My Grandfather was born there and came to America just before the Turks burned down the city. His sisters and the rest of his family that had escaped from Smyrna went, with many other refugees to Athens and a part of town there is now called Nea Smyrna...  So I added them together and got Neasmyrna.


O.K, so where do you live ?

Petaluma! CA...


How much time would you say you spend on the forum a day ?

I spend my time on three forums and nationstates proper... I would just have to say that I spent too much time... lol If I put a number on it I would scare myself and probably leave the game... lol basically:

A LOT


What made you join AWP ?

Umm... Probably because the founders such a great guy...


What do you think of the region ?

I think it needs to have more active people... people need to step up and help do things that make the region better. Special jobs are usually available but the greatest thing you can do for your region is RECRUIT! Every nation you bring in may be someone busting with time and can be a HUGE asset to the region.


Any tips or suggestions on how to make AWP better ?

I believe we as a region need a goal. But before we start going out and achieving that goal (or even figuring out what that goal is), we need to be organized. Have a government, a military, a constitution, good foreign relations and really make ourselves a world power in the nationstates world.


O.K, FINAL QUESTION
If you were stranded on a desert island with 1 object, what would it be and why ?
A boat (with oars preferably)... Why? So I could get off and come play nationstates!!!


Got anything you would like to say to your fellow AWPers ?
BE ACTIVE!!! Especially for newer nations, here is the secret formula for success on nationstates... Activity=Power Be active, and good things will come your way. But I would like to say doing nothing is perfectly fine... we have quite a few people who have been here for months and I don't even know. But i feel i know some of them... But if you want to rise, and help lead this region activity is needed...


THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME


NEASMYRNA IN NS

Civil Rights - Excellent
Economy - Powerhouse
Political Freedoms - World Benchmark

Location: 00000 A World Power

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Nomadic Peoples of Neasmyrna is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.143 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology industries.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, Max Barry is this year's Miss Neasmyrna, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Neasmyrna's national animal is the hummingbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

Neasmyrna is ranked 89th in the region and 34,605th in the world for Most Corrupt Governments.

The previous UN resolution for the "UNID Card Act" was defeated 7,171 votes to 2,046. For more information on the UNID Card Act please see Fridays AWP Inquirer.

The current UN resolution up for debate and vote is the "Spelling Alphabet and ID codes" resolution, which is a resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Description: Believing that a standard, easily used and understood system of identifying vehicles used for international travel and transportation can promote both safety and efficient management of air, space, sea, and land travel, which in its turn will reduce bureaucracy and costs of cross-border commerce;

Recognising that a wide variety of writing systems, using varied alphabets, syllabaries, and number systems are in use among the nations of the United Nations;

Further recognising that, even when languages use the same alphabet, differing names may be used for the same letter or numeral;

Understanding that, except as detailed below, most nations will continue to use their own alphabets, number systems and pronounciations in most situations.

Also understanding that member nations may already have effective systems established for identifying vehicles operated within their nations and that mandated replacement of these systems could be costly and inefficient;

Defining, for the purposes of this resolution, "identification code" as a unique set of symbols (letters and numbers) used to identify specific vehicles;

Defining "standard symbology" as a standard set of symbols to be used in constructing identification codes: the 26 letters of the English ("Roman") alphabet plus the Arabic numerals 0 through 9;

Defining "spelling alphabet" as a sequence of easily pronounced, easily distinguished, two-syllable words representing letters of the alphabet, for example, "ALFA" for "A", "BRAVO" for "B", plus easily pronounced and distinguished pronunciations for numerals, and

Defining, for the purposes of this resolution, an "international vehicle" as any air, space, sea, land, or amphibious vehicle that is designed, intended, or likely to be used for international travel.

The United Nations will:

1. Devise and publish a standard spelling alphabet for use by all operators of international vehicles.

2. Assist member nations, as required and requested, in installing the standard spelling alphabet in their nations.

Member Nations:

1. Shall assign an identification code, using the standard symbology, to all international vehicles registered within their nations.

2. Shall include instruction in the standard spelling alphabet in the training of all operators of international vehicles.

3. Are urged to adopt the standard spelling alphabet for domestic use.

4. May continue to use existing systems of vehicle identification on all vehicles within their jurisdictions. Note, however, that the identification code required by this resolution must either replace or be added to such identification of international vehicles, at the nation's sole discretion.

5. May deny access to their lands, territorial waters, and air space to any vehicle which does not bear an identification code in conformance with this resolution or whose operator fails or refuses to use the standard spelling alphabet.

6. Must share information concerning identification codes necessary for effective operation of international organizations or organizations in relevant foreign nations which provide air traffic control, rescue, traffic safety, or similar services.

The resolution was proposed by Gaffa Territories

Voting Ends: Tue Sep 25 2007

-Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
-Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN."

-When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling, "Run for your lives, they're loose!"
-Tell your boss, "It's not the voices in my head that bother me, it's the voices in your head that do."
-Tell your children over dinner, "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
-Every time you see a broom yell, "Honey, your mother is here!"
