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.

Thursday will be cold with minor wind gusts throughout the day. High of 27 low of 23.

Friday will see the temperatures a little higher but the increasingly fast winds that will occur throughout the day will make it feel much colder. High of 32 low of 25.

Saturday will see some of the first flurries of the week, however, the chance of strong snowfall is a high possibility for the rest of the week. High of 31 low of 26.

Sunday will be dominated by a light trickle of flurries blown around by violent winds from the west and due to get worse. High of 27 low fo 23.

Monday is the day of dread as a heavy snow storm with very strong winds covers the region, visibility is expected to be low creating dangerous conditions on the road. High of 25 low of 22.

Tuesday wont be as bad as Monday with the winds dying down to very light gusts but the snow will continue to fall. High of 30 low fo 27.

Wednesday will see the snow continuing to fall but without the winds to scatter it and a pleasnat powdered landscape will greet us. High of 31 low of 26.

This week has seen lots of regional affairs; earlier in the week, our founder Neasmyrna issued the following statement to embassies:

Quote:
 
It is my pleasure as founder of this great region to announce that the election polls have been closed, and our new delegate is Biain The First! Biain is a long time member of our region, having joined within a month or so of our founding. He has been a major part of our region, from posting wildly in the marketplace, to being a veteran of our regional defense force, to even giving recruiting a go now and then. We hope he will have a very successful delegacy as we continue to expand.

We would also like to thank our long time delegate Kelh for his service. Kelh became our delegate in July when we had about 120 nations. We now have 230+ and he retires as the 12th most influential delegate on nationstates. Thank you for your service!

Neasmyrna-founder

Biain has now been excused from service in the RDF due to his delegacy and members are encouraged to endorse him so he can get enough endorsements to pass Kelh.
Biain has received the congratulations and support of numerous figures throughout the nationstates world, here are just a few messages of support from our allies and friends:
Quote:
 
Congratz Biain The First! I look forward to working with him on UN proposals and resolutions in the future!!
Egy Nemzet, Delegate of The Genesis Federation
Quote:
 
I wish the new delegate Biain The First good luck!
Gateborg, Foreign Affairs Minister in the Founderless Regions Alliance
Quote:
 
Good luck for Biain!
Vrtbovska Zahrada, Interregional Affairs Minister in The North Pacific
In addition to this election, Neasmyrna has also announced the appointment of a new Minister of Defence, the first since Falconius’ resignation some time ago;
Quote:
 
It is my pleasure to again announce another appointment. I proposed the placement of Numero Captitan as our next Minister of Defense to the senate this past week. It was unanimously approved.

Numero Capitan joined the region in September and got active in the RDF within a month or so. He is one of our more active updaters and has been very active with our friends in the FRA. He has been on more than 20 defense missions from Arabia to Uberasia. Basically, I believe he knows what he's doing. Plus, he can be found on many forums around the NS world so we can work efficiently with our defender friends.

So, I hereby declare Numero Capitan Minister of Defense of the region of 00000 A world Power with all the rights and privileges thereof.

Congratulations!

This takes another bit of work off my shoulders, since Rucket died I have been acting Minister of Defense and Immigration... We are still looking for a Minister of Immigration. if you are interested... be competent and learn how to recruit really well... As a reminder, all Minister's have a seat in the Senate. But since Numero is currently a Senator anyway nothing will change there...

But I guess I'll also announce here that senator elections are expected to begin within a month or so...

Thank you

--- Neasmyrna


Despite being fairly new to NationStates, Numero has been an active member of the Regional Defence Force and was recently elected as Communications Minister in the FRA.

In addition to these exciting announcements, one of our older members returned and we welcome Shadow Diamond Dragons back with open arms!!! In addition to this, a number of new members are getting involved in our roleplay section and the RDF, as well as an increase in activity after the typical Christmas lull.
Unfortunatly January also saw our most active Spammer, Nitty, call an end to his prolific NationStates life, in order to concentrate on schoolwork and his Cricket career. However, he hasn’t been able to keep himself away since he hurt his foot and has said he’ll try and check in weekly!

January also saw the first AWP Awards, run by Greekamerican. Many people voted and nominated members for various categories and here are the results:

Best Recruiter is Neasmyrna- Considering that over the year Neas has built the region up from nothing and recruited the other nominees, there could only be one winner for this award (as Neas stated from the off-set, about the same time as his head growing bigger)

Most Active Member is Nittshatta- An obvious winner for this award considering that he has over 4 thousand posts on the forum, however slightly ironic now he is retiring!

Best Quote went to Ranholn- "Admins are gods, I'm just the pope."- A great quote from our Global Mod, famous for ruling the forums with an Iron Fist!

Best Avatar went to Biain the First- We couldn’t resist giving an award to our favorate Red Panda that has always popped up over the regions history!

Best Game Thread was "21"- Theres not much more I can say about this, all the games nominated received some support but 21 just edged it!

Best Rivalry was greekamerican - nittshatta (hatesmanville)- Ever since Nitty’s illegal banjection by Greek taking over his brothers account there has been some hate between these two, no ones quite sure if they really hate each other, I suspect Greek is just jealous of Nitty’s post count!

Best Signature went to Repaxan- Every time you refresh, it changes!! It always sparks some colour into any post!

Most Intriguing event was Sulawesi- The NS spammer who came online and spammed the RMB’s of many big regions, telling us we’re all gay men with nothing better to do. We had some good fun with him as many of our most active members were online at the time, and Neas was the winner in the race to banject him! We even managed to get him to turn off his caps lock and have a conversation with him about how were all so mean and made him cry, so Torchy pulled out his pistols and made his regular trip to the Ice Cream Van to cheer him up!!

Mr. AWP is Numero Capitan- Not even Numero is completely sure why he won this one

and

Funniest Member was Nittshatta- Despite it usually being spam, Nitty always manages a sarcastic or just downright hilarious response to most posts on the forum :P

So as you can see it’s been a busy week for AWP!
