Culinary Contest
Introduction
Hello all residents of the South Pacific! The Ministry of Culture is going to hosting a Culinary Contest in which citizens can express their favorite foods, their (RP) nation’s national food, or anything along those lines!
How does it work?
Each nation will create a dispatch describing their food (with images if possible), its cultural significance and how to make the dish. After all contestants have submitted their dishes, a series of regional polls where you can vote on which dish you think is best!
How to participate
Make a dispatch describing your dish’s cultural significance, method of making the dish and images of the dish (AI generated images are allowed). After you’ve done all of that, mention the Ministry of Culture in your dispatch (just place
[nation]Ministry of Culture[/nation]
anywhere in your dispatch so that we can place you on the ballot. )

Regional Telegram
Hello everyone. Today a regional telegram was released that explains everything I plan to do during my term, as shown in the summary below.
1. Secretaries of Culture
As in previous mandates, he is responsible for helping the MoC to plan events and other projects and giving opinions about what can be done to improve the projects and the regional culture itself.
If you are interested, please contact me via Discord (silvae_) or send a telegram to Virifortis. I am currently looking for two people who want to get started in TSP politics but aren’t sure where to start or how to gain some experience.
2. Poetry Contest
This is our main event of this term, and everything related to it can be found in this dispatch:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=2570482
3. Knowhere Newspaper
My plan is to make and release an edition of the Knowhere Newspaper every 15 days/twice a month. If you have any news related to Knowhere that you think should be shared and could be well-developed, let me know!
4. Projects Support
If you have any project you want to start, especially on RMB (but also on Forums and Discord), but need help planning or promoting it, the Ministry of Culture is at your disposal. Please contact me if you need any assistance and we will assess anything that is necessary.
Hello! I just wanted to stop by with some information about this term and the rest of the month, things to do, everything of that sort. I’m also going to include a Game Night Interest Form, to see what games we want to play together, who wants to host games, and availabilities. With this information I’ll reach out to those who expressed interest in hosting, make an announcement when the game nights will be for the rest of this month, and then we shall have fun! But a few other things I want to elaborate on first.
1. Secretaries of Culture
The Ministry of Culture is still looking for secretaries to assist with working on ministry initiatives. If you are wanting to get involved in our regional government and don’t really know where to start, or if you have an interest in working on initiatives to promote TSP’s culture and want to get involved there, please reach out! You can send a telegram to NationStates | The Sad People of FiHami , send me a DM here, or send me a DM on Discord (RaydiantFire).
2. Project Help
If you have an idea for something you want to see done in the region, perhaps an event, a contest you want to do, or anything else, please let us know in this thread.
Also, here is a link to the google form for the game night stuff in November.
Thanks for listening and stuff!
