Newcomer's Manual
So you've stumbled upon the forums of The East Pacific! "TEP" is one of the five default regions in the nation simulation game NationStates.net (NS). As such, we accept all nations and welcome them as valuable additions to our community. The first thing you should know is TEP is centered around having fun, NationStates-style!

The second thing you should know is TEP is the best region in the game! The people here are experienced players and their collective knowledge spans the entirety of NationStates. Together, they've built TEP into the premier roleplaying region. The roleplaying map was started way back in 2008. That's an eternity in NS! But don't fret, there's always room for any nation who wants to participate in the RP's wars, trading, and sports leagues.

TEP's greatness doesn't end there! Your new region is renowned for its intelligence and fairness. That's all thanks to our constitution, the Concordat, which is just as much an ancient marvel as the map. It was adopted in 2009, but has only been amended once in all that time. I like to think that's because it was so well written. It balances the government between the traditional executive, legislative and judiciary branches, but also charters a special fourth branch to protect our community and its government from being couped. More importantly, the Concordat protects the rights of TEP's citizens--which leads me to citizenship!

Citizenship and YOU!
I'm excited to have yet another able-bodied recruit join our ranks! If you're not excited as well, you should be! Your first step is registration. It requires an email address, but that's just for validating your account, and later for retrieving your password if you lose it.

Next comes citizenship. It requires you to answer a quick questionnaire. Afterwords, the Citizenship Committee will review your application for any errors, then you'll be a bona fide East Pacifican!

Include any questions you might have and we'll be more than glad to answer them.
