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.

Welcome to A World Power!

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.

The Embassies and Consulates Forum; What it is, and how to get one.

Welcome to the centre of A World Power's Foreign Affairs! We don't have specific Ambassador masking here - the regular Member group has posting access to the majority of the forums already, so dive in.

This forum serves three purposes:

Embassies

We have Embassies with a very select number of regions on NationStates. It's not because we're snooty or because we don't like you - it's just that to do this friendship thing properly, you need to put some effort into it. It's all too easy for a region to open up 30 embassies, and then struggle to keep them updated, let alone build any sort of meaningful relationship with them.

Embassy regions get a sub-forum here to post their updates, news, and whatever (within reason, of course). We also assign them a specific ambassador, who will not only post updates, but also get to know your region, acting as the primary contact from AWP.

If you want to request an Embassy, post in this thread. Our foreign affairs official will be in touch with you.

Consulates

Consulates are - being honest - a slightly "lower level" of relationship. Any region can open a consulates with AWP (though we reserve the right to reject them from those that are outright offensive). You can do this by posting a new thread in this forum, using your region's name as the thread title. This gives you a chance to keep us up-to-date with your goings on, and for us to find out a bit about who you are, and what you stand for.

Just because it's a Consulate, doesn't mean we will ignore you. Expect citizens of AWP, and particularly our foreign affairs team, to both read and post in your consulate on a regular basis. There's the potential that this relationship could blossom into a fully-fledged Embassy with time.

AWP Foreign Affairs Planning

We conduct some foreign affairs related activity in this forum - things like drafting and distributing updates, discussion whatever you know who has said about us in our Gameplay forum embassy, and so on. This is mainly meant for AWP Citizens to comment on, but if you're a foreign visitor and have something pertinent to say, do feel free.




If you have questions about any of this, either reply to this thread, or contact our current head of foreign affairs.

[region]Osiris[/region] would like to request an embassy with AWP. Although there is no specific information requested, here is some information about our region:

Quote:
 
Pharaoh (WA Delegate/Head of State): [nation]Cormactopia II[/nation]
Chief Vizier (Head of Government): Pending Election
Forum Link: http://w11.zetaboards.com/OFO/index/
Form of Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Regional Military Alignment: Non-Aligned*

* Non-aligned means that we pursue our regional interests in foreign and military affairs, rather than ideological pursuits (i.e., defenderism, raiderism, imperialism, etc). In the interests of full disclosure, the previous government of Osiris maintained a raider alignment.

Thank you for your consideration!

Sorry, our foreign affairs department is currently between administrations.

We will get back to you soon.

While you wait, enjoy the elevator music. :band:

Hi Cormac, we tend to only pursue relations with regions we can have an active and mutually beneficial relationship with. Is there an intention from Osiris to discuss what this might look like or is this more of a token sharing of embassies with the potential for greater communication in the future?

We would certainly be happy to discuss it. As I noted, we have recently shifted to a more flexible non-aligned gameplay position which will allow for greater cooperation in regard to defensive military operations, provided such operations are consistent with our current alliances and our overall foreign policy aims. We're also open to discussing other issues like cooperation in the World Assembly, community and cultural collaboration, etc., depending on whatever interests we have in common.

If the government of AWP would like to discuss in more detail, I'm available by telegram, PM via the Osiris forum, or my Skype name is cormac.ns.

We wat to promote inter-regional coopoeration, especially with other defender regions. We feel that strengthening relations with other defenders will improve joint efforts and will encourage more to take up defending.

Greetings, Pagos!

We note that you are currently rather careful with foreign relations.
I come here with recommendation of Hierarch Asylum, a long-time NationStates player and NS military veteran. Some of your older players may remember him. He was very pleased when we heard of your success in reviving the region, which is part of why we are now pursuing this embassy relation. If you do accept, expect an at least monthly heads-up from our Department of Communications and an active group of citizen that looks forward to any text you shoot at our direction. Please don't actually shoot at our citizens.
Finally, I would like to invite everyone who is interested to celebrate Equinox' 8th birthday, which is tomorrow on the 21th of June. This would be a great chance for our Citizen to get to know each other. We look forward to meeting you all!

I will serve as your contact from Equinox for any questions or inquiries. I refrained from posting any links to our forums for now, but will gladly post them if demanded, along with general statistics and information about our wonderful region.

Yours trustfully,
Chancellor A Kaskadian

Hello Mr Chancellor,

It is great to have you with us, how do foreign affairs work within Equinox given the guild system you have there?

Hello Numero Capitan,

thank you for your inquiry! The way our guilds work in that context is that they are each free to have their own foreign policy, independent from the Equinox government. They have to follow direct orders though and will not interfere with interregional diplomacy that is set by our legislation, be that a Conclave bill or an Executive Order. They can even have their own guild militia, with only official treaties limiting them. The last guild that was active in regards to military gameplay was the Mafia guild in October of the last year.
At the moment, this right is not employed very strongly though, as the guild leaders generally agree with our official policy, a fact which I am going to interpret as a compliment to our government's diplomacy skills and not as a statement of laziness. I am a guild leader myself, being the Secret Sheriff of the Secret Police, the second-youngest guild in Equinox.

What all of this means for you is that an Embassy with Equinox overrules any stance the guilds may have on your region.

We would happily invite an ambassador to Equinox if there is interest in seeing how our system works in general.

Does Falconias ever make an appearance, does he hold any official powers now in Equinox, if we were to declare war on Falconias would that in any way affect our relationship with Equinox?

Falconias appears once every two to three months to see if there's anything new, but he does not interfere with Equinoxian politics anymore. He was last active on the forums on May 3rd.
He is still the de-facto Founder of the NS region and head administrator of the offsite forums, but he is not part of our legislation. Keep in mind though that his reputation in Equinox is still very good, meaning that the region would stand behind him in case of unfounded aggression against his person. Why would you do that, though?

Maybe this has been forgotten about. I would like to ask if an Embassy is still being discussed.

The regional forum is currently HORRIBLY inactive. I have no clue why.

The embassy discussion is still going on, I'd recommend trying to contact people via means other than the forum. Maybe then you can get a response? (I hope)

So sorry about the hassle and the waiting.
