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.

Newcomers to the forum should register an account using their nation name, and start a new thread in the Welcome Centre. Make sure you stop by Rucket Park for all your spam and games!

Welcome to A World Power!

Our forum acts as the hub of our community, and is where our Government, Citizens Assembly, and Regional Defence Force are coordinated. But it's not all serious business! The legendary Rucket Park is full of polls, spam games and nonsense chat, our Role Playing Pavilion is the place for all your roleplaying needs, and the A World Power Center is where we get to know each other.

It would be good to formally let some of our friends know we're back and active?

Worth us doing a proper update or should we put word out in other ways?

I rather enjoy writing updates, so I don't mind doing one. Someone else would have to post them though.

I'd recommend a thread for the region in the Gameplay forum. It'll get attention from the "regulars", which could at least get a few puppets in the region and visitors poking around the forum. Again, someone else is going to have to post that.

I like to write updates as well, but for some reason there is always controversy :D

If its not gameplayers complaining about my unorthodox style and attitude, its game admin not being able to tell what is and isn't roleplay.

Limebert can always make a stop in AWP's thread

Assuming we're talking about places where I have accounts and not all these random new regions, I am willing to post updates

BT is better placed to write about the military goings-on, so I'll defer to him. If you do want me to write about any other bits, I'm happy to help out.

I actually enjoy Numero's writings in the Inquirer. We need a more positive message like his rather than my silly invader slaying propaganda ^_^

Prefer not to give them the acknowledgement/credit. If we just talk about our own successes the rest of the story tells itself

Draft, without much formatting:

A World Power Update: February 2016
We're Back!

In the beginning Neasmyrna created the region and the forum.
Some time shortly after, Falconias turned up.
On the three-thousand, two hundred and thirty seventh day (approx), Numero saw every thing that had been made, and, behold, it was not very good.

To cut a very long story short, 00000 A World Power used to be one of the most significant defender regions around, at its peak between 2007 - 2010. Staunch FRA members, its military was second only to TITO at the time, and the Intel department under Numero Capitan was formidable. After founder Neasmyrna stepped back fron the game, the region went into decline, and has been mostly dormant the last few years.

The region is now active again, and re-building!

Recruiting

A recruitment drive has grown the region to 59 nations - the highest in a couple of years. Plans are in place to ensure this growth remains sustainable, so the region doesn't suffer another slump. This growth has been from a mixture of old-timers returning, interested parties joining from abroad, and genuine newcomers moving in.

Government

Numero Capitan has declared himself Supreme Overlord for life, or at least until he can find others willing to take on duties. The newly-reformed Citizens Assembly is expected to set up a transitional government once the region is sufficiently established again.

Foreign Affairs

AWP has taken the momentous decision to leave the Founderless Regions Alliance after many years of membership. The future direction of the region's foreign affairs is currently being discussed by the Assembly, but is expected to involve reaching out to old friends.

Defending

The RDF has been in action around NationStates at update, protecting a number of regions, as well as working to secure the region "A World Power".

Miscellaneous

The forum has been designed, with a sleek new skin, and a general tidy-up. Wibblefeet has been elected Herald of Rucket Park, so come quickly to impeach him! The RMB currently has a sweepstake going on how long it'll be until Neas logs in again.


It's brief, and pretty dry. It could do with being humoured-up, as well as having a more "personal touch" if we're delivering this to old friends.

59 nation

'nation' needs an 's' at the end of it to make more sense, but other than that, it looks good.

It may take me a few days (I have an large event to manage tomorrow), but I think I can add a decent amount of spice to this.

Recruiting

A recruitment drive has grown the region to 74 nations - the highest in a couple of years. Plans are in place to ensure this growth remains sustainable, so the region doesn't suffer another slump. This growth has been from a mixture of old-timers returning, interested parties joining from abroad, and genuine newcomers moving in.

Government

Numero Capitan has declared himself Supreme Overlord for life, or at least until he can find others willing to take on duties. The newly-reformed Citizens Assembly is expected to set up a transitional government once the region is sufficiently established again and is discussing the future political makeup of the region.

Numero's first Ministerial appointment was Benevolent Thomas who will serve as Minister of the Interior, overseeing the integration of new nations into the region and its government. Benevolent Thomas has chosen to appoint Nat of the Flowers

Foreign Affairs

AWP has taken the momentous decision to leave the Founderless Regions Alliance after many years of membership. The future direction of the region's foreign affairs is currently being discussed by the Assembly, but is expected to involve reaching out to old friends.

We will soon have our first in-game embassy, with our long-standing friendship with 10000 Islands formally recognised. Some key members have held dual citizenship in both regions (Neasmyrna included), a merger was even considered by AWP at one point in its life and members of 10KI have continued to provide advice and practical support during our rebuilding effort.

Defending

The RDF has been in action around NationStates at update, protecting a number of regions, as well as working to secure the region "A World Power". In recent weeks the RDF have conducted over 40 successful defenses and liberations around NS. With high levels of RDF activity and new nations joining the region daily, Commander Numero Capitan has reinstated the Expeditionary Force which has immediately been put to use conducting detagging missions and supporting the RDF where necessary.

Miscellaneous

The forum has been designed, with a sleek new skin, and a general tidy-up. Wibblefeet has been elected Herald of Rucket Park, so come quickly to impeach him! The RMB sweepstake on how long it'll be until Neas logs in again reached a momentous climax as a wild, slightly drunk looking Neasmyrna ambled onto the RMB and wandered off again, remarkably/suspiciously on the exact date Numero predicted. Murmurings of AWP joining the GRA war against Falconias continue.

Looks good, I'm gonna post it on the NS embassy but if others can share on the FRA forum and anywhere else they think it would be welcome that'd be great!

Again, if you guys want me to make any custom graphics for this stuff for posting around, I can. I just want to help out any way I can! I don't quite know enough about anything to be much use writing this stuff, but I'd love to help with layout and editing work if you need it!
