Apply to be a Legislator! |
Welcome to the South Pacific!
If you are interested in helping to shape our government, then you will want to apply to become a Legislator. Being a Legislator allows you to propose, debate, and vote on laws which govern the Coalition of the South Pacific in the Assembly (Our legislature), participate in the private assembly halls, and vote and run for offices in our government! Note that you do not need to be a Legislator to contribute and you can participate in other ways (such as roleplay, journalism, event planning, military, or simply hanging around and enjoying our fine South Pacifican culture) (Read this for more information) Requirements You need to have a nation in the South Pacific (Any nation is sufficient, it does not need to be your main nation or a member of the World Assembly although we strongly recommend that) There are some additional requirements for special cases but it is very unlikely that you'll need to meet them.

Frequently Asked Questions about Applying for Legislatorship I'm new and the application form is confusing! If you are a new player in NationStates, you won't have anything to fill out except the name of your nation in the South Pacific and your Discord handle. If you have a question, feel free to state where you're unsure in your application and we'll get back to you quickly. Discord handle? What is that? Discord is a free chat service (akin to Skype or IRC) that many regions in NationStates use for its members to communicate in real-time, via text or voice. The South Pacific has its own Discord server as well, which you can join by clicking here. With your Discord handle, the Legislator Committee can give you access to the private legislator's lounge on our Discord server. We encourage you to register an account on Discord and join; your handle can be found on the bottom right corner and looks something like Roavin#5410. I've been playing for a while. My super detailed curriculum vitae on NationStates detailing all past and current involvement in other regions is only 241 pages long, but the forum won't let me post it! What do I do? The list doesn't have to be that exhaustive! We're not looking for a full dossier on you, but rather just key facets. A list of names will do just fine, and the Legislator Committee will for ask more details if necessary. I am a member of a NationStates military, and my World Assembly membership is floating. What do I give as my World Assembly nation? In that case, list which nation is currently admitted to the World Assembly, and name the puppet set that you intend to be using. Usually, this will not be much of an issue, and the Legislator Committee will reach out to you about it if necessary. I'm not comfortable sharing some of the information asked of me. No problem - just mention that this is the case in the application, and the Legislator Committee will reach out to you privately. I've submitted my application. What now? Usually, your application will be processed within 1-2 days; sometimes the Legislator Committee will ask you for more detail and in rare cases it can take up to a week (but that's very rare). But while you wait, there are many things you can do.
Now that you're a legislator, here are the perks:
Note that there are a few requirements for staying a legislator.
If you're not keeping up with your requirements, the Legislator Committee will reach out to you about it. For everything else, read the wonderful Legislator FAQ here! (1)
