Wplace UN Newsletter Week 5

Image 1: In Europe on the Pacific map, the Fourth European war continues, but Turkish forces have made a huge breakthrough. Yesterday, they launched a major attack into Eastern europe, with the support of Turanist and Russian forces, reaching Berlin, but were pushed back by rapid La Commune reinforcements, who spent droplets to counter the turkish offensive. Today, however, with a stronger force, Turkish forces, now with volunteers from as far as Brazil, and with more separatists at their side, managed to liberate the entire continent. The EUSR is no longer present on the map at all, and remaining communist art is being removed. Estonia has already joined the UN, while Hungary and Lithuania now seek to join too. Riveting, the American ambassador, took the opportunity to denounce communism, and in a debate with the EUSR ambassador, called it “the most destructive ideology in modern history”. Some reports have surfaced of American support arriving to the Baltic states, which has been welcomed by the Turkic coalition. Ukrainian and Central American forces launched an operation into Romania to establish a buffer zone, but were promptly kicked out by American forces in the region. Just now, it seems they have made an agreement to end their brief skirmish. It remains to be seen whether La Commune will launch a counteroffensive, or if this will truly be the end of communist Europe.

Image 2: Bozkurt forces have taken advantage of the complete lack of La Commune and American influence in Africa to expand into the continent, now annexing Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia whole, while invading Chad and the Imperium of Man. This drew some condemnation from the Imperium of Man, but overall little has been done to stop Bozkurt Expansion.

Image 3: Keeping in the Pacific map, Tunisia has become a point of contention. Rogue painter Lalo conquered it whole a few days ago, and attempted to expand the country into Algeria and Libya. This resulted in Algerian forces responding, invading Tunisia. Combat continues in the region, with little international interest, the Turan ambassador remarked that there simply was not a need for the UN to be there.

Image 4: Moving to the Kabul map, the separatists from China have arrived here too, establishing an independent Tibetan state as well as East Turkestan. This marks a shift away from using regular transparent and Turan blue tiles to conquer China, and instead trying to establish independent states, like in the Pacific map. Our analysts believe that more states will be made in the future.

Image 5: In the Kabul map, it seems the monarchist Germans have not been completely eradicated, but rather have fled to Africa. Here, two colonies of the German Empire have already been made, one in East Africa, and one in Namibia. They seem to have made a deal with the Congo, having a defined border with them. A Canadian user attempted to bring back Namibia, but to little avail. So far, these Germans have gone entirely unnoticed by the international community.

Just 5 parts for this week, wanted to make the European part more developed. We’ll see what happens in a week.

Wplace UN Power Assessment for October 2026

Alright everyone, it is October. As we are starting a new month, it is time for the power rankings to be updated. Here we go:

  1. India: Once again, India takes first place. As with last time, it is not hard to see why they are up here: They have an incredibly high population mixed with high nationalism, resulting in a huge pool of painters for r/wplaceindia to draw from for their defense. Our analysts deem it likely that India will maintain this spot for the foreseeable future.
  2. European Union of Socialist Republics(EUSR): The EUSR has just about managed to secure second place from Turkey. After discovering that Bozkurtlar was a separate group from wplacetr, Turkey was determined to have less power than the EUSR, which was also found during the Fourth European War, where, at least for now, the EUSR has held off against Turkey and has actually launched counterattacks. However, with La Commune now playing a very large role in the country, some broader opponents of La Commune across all of wplace have been attracted to the Pacific Map, which could cause problems for the EUSR in the future.
  3. Turkey: While dropping to third place, the distance between the EUSR and Turkey is quite small. Both countries are still at war with each other, and their power fluctuates greatly every day. Turkey exerts significant influence over Turan and Bozkurtlar, who have come to their aid in the war. Overall, wplacetr remains a formidable force on the map, and it is unlikely that they will be defeated any time soon.
  4. Russia: After Ruspixel mobilized to defeat Karelia and the Sami on the Kabul map, Russia has become the second strongest nation on that map, while holding off against sporadic EUSR and Turanist attacks in the Pacific. Ruspixel now effectively manages all of Russia's foreign affairs, and has shown to be far more interested in the affairs of other countries than Russia's previous leader, u/_Riveting. With Russia now making a lasting peace deal with Turan on the Pacific map, it seems Russia has established itself as one of the major players in the Eurasian System, and has closed the gap to the top three.
  5. Turan: After achieving peace with Russia, Turan has somewhat rebounded, playing a crucial role in supporting Turkey on the Pacific map during the Fourth European War. Turan has maintained control over Iran and China, and is continuing to attempt to better relations with its neighbors. Turanist painters have also been found supporting Bozkurtlar expansion into Africa, expanding the range of Turkic influence. Turan continues to be a major force in the Pacific map.
  6. The United States: The US continues to remain relatively isolationist. While some group of painters, led by u/_Riveting, has completed some interventions in the Middle East and Europe, most US painters simply remain in the US. As the least attacked major power, the strength of the US is yet to be truly tested.
  7. Taiwan: Taiwan has successfully kept China down, now removing them from both major world maps. While Turanist forces are slowly losing interest in China, WplaceTaiwan continues to remain active in ensuring the PRC does not return. After the PRC lost its great power status, it seems Taiwan, with partners in Korea and the separatist states, has established itself as a dominant force in East Asia.
  8. Bozkurtlar: Bozkurtlar is the group in control over the Arabian Peninsula on the Pacific map. They are aligned with Turkey and Turan, and have begun expansion into Sudan and Ethiopia. They have grown rapidly, attracting many members of wplacetr and Turanizm, while using the European war to their advantage to gain land in Africa. While La Commune and the US stopped them in Egypt, neither nation seems ready to commit forces to an intervention in Sudan or Ethiopia to stop them. Bozkurtlar has established itself as the third major Turkic power, and seems set to grow further.
  9. Korea: The Republic of Korea has warded off DPRK supporters, and with UN help, has gained full control over their own peninsula. Having close ties with Taiwan, India, and even the US, Korea has stabilized its position on both world maps. After gaining UN membership, Korea is becoming a key part of East Asian diplomacy.
  10. Ukraine: Unlike other countries, Ukraine relies heavily on foreign painters to support itself. Most painters you will find in Ukraine on the Kabul map are passersby, helping to deal with griefing. However, the sheer amount of support for Ukraine has allowed it to claw its way into the top ten, with both maps now having developed intricate patterns and having dedicated defenders. Ukraine's relations with Russia have actually improved, as Russia slowly liberalized and Ukraine lost its ally in the EU, resulting in both nations having more common ground. Today, Ukraine is subject to much less griefing than most nations.

Here are some interesting things I noted:

- China has fallen off of the list entirely, as it has failed to consolidate to reclaim any land. As it has now also lost its great power status in the UN, it seems China has gone far downhill.

- The gap between India(1st) and the EUSR(2nd) in terms of power is greater than the gap between the EUSR and Taiwan(7th) as India simply has far more painters to work with than any other country. Even individual Indian groups, like the Chainwalkers and Headhunters, would be able to land on the list if they were their own states.

- Europe and Turkey continue to fluctuate, as since both nations are small in terms of pixel area, it is easy for a small group of painters to cause major damage, even if it gets quickly reversed.

- Of all of these nations, Bozkurtlar is the only one without a UN seat

See you all again in a month.

Establishment of the Observer State Status

As we no longer allow for non-earth nations to join, I felt like making this status to allow them to at least participate in the larp a bit.

Non-Earth nations can now apply to join the UN as observers. With 75% support, they get observer status, which grants them the same rights as regular members, but they cannot vote, become a great power, or serve on the security council. They are allowed to make votes and participate in discussions, and just use the subreddit. This lets these types of nations be represented without having a risk of the voting system being gamed.

Additionally, nations that do pose themselves as being on Earth also become observers if they apply to join, do not meet the 75% mark, but still get above 50% support. They can apply again in the future to become fully fledged members, as long as they get 75% support in another application.

The Secretary General can also add observer states, as long as the state in question has a user with reddit contact who wants to join the UN representing that state.

Nations can have their observer status removed in a vote, with 75% support required for it to pass, vetoes are allowed.

Hi, its the Wplace UN

Yeah, thats right. We larped so much that we now have a r/wplaceunitednations. And, somehow, I am the one leading it.

First off, thank you for making these world maps, we would not have been able to grow our community without them.

Next I have a few questions for you all:

- Who is actually active here? I know Lei713 is here, but what about other significant contributors to the world maps, like THD, Susru, and Dingup?

- Do you follow the world maps after you make them? Like, do you watch them at all, or do you just make them and forget about them. I would imagine you would be rather surprised if you saw the state of the Anchorage map right now.

- Lastly, would you all like some help with your map in the northwestern Pacific? We have a few people who could volunteer to help.

I honestly dont know what else to say, but it felt wrong to not address that you all exist.

Removal of Great Power status from China

Anchorage Map

Kabul Map

China has been gone for, suffice to say, around a month (actually a bit more than a month) from the world maps on both Kabul and Anchorage.

We can, therefore, say that they do not have the power, nor the means to bring China back on the two maps.

This will leave us with six nations, US, EUSR, Russia, India, Turkey, and Turan, as Great Powers.

Ambassadors, please select one of the following options to vote for the removal of China from its status as a Great Power:

Fourth European War and Escalation Prevention Forum

Greetings everyone, sorry I am a bit late. As you may have heard, the Fourth European War started around 4 days ago, on the Pacific map. This war began due to disputes over griefing done by both sides, which culminated in Turkey, Turan, and Russia forming a coalition to remove the EUSR from the map and replace it with independent European states.

Each nation made official declarations of war against the EUSR, and made major advances into Europe. At their greatest extent, the Baltics, Balkans, Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, Italy, and parts of Germany had been separated into new states. However, over the course of the past few days, the EUSR counterattacked, reaching the prewar borders, and briefly attacking Kaliningrad, Pskov, and Istanbul. At the moment, no other nations have gotten involved, though the US has attempted to stop use of transparent pixels on both sides.

Since every public communication channel has the other side blocked, I am making this forum for public peace discussions. Here, you can discuss options for peace, and hopefully get closer to a resolution. All nations are invited to participate in this discussion.

We would also like to talk about actions to prevent future conflicts. The peace at the end of the Second and Third European wars had no real way to stop future conflicts from happening. As the Secretary General, I believe we need some measures involving expenditure of pixels, rather than just promises, to maintain peace. I am open to the idea of having a task force dedicated to maintaining borders on the European continent.

This discussion can also include other European-Coalition disputes, like in Africa, where Turkey and Europe have differing views on how to divide the continent.

Personally, I will open this discussion with what I believe to be the most likely option for a peace deal- a return to prewar borders. Ultimately, forcing anyone to cede land will result in the building of resentment, sowing the seeds for another conflict. So, a return to prewar borders should be the start of any peace deal. You may discuss this all below.

Thank you for your time and commitment to peace on the wplace world maps.

The Start of the Anti-Plague Mission

On the Kabul map, a group of people have attempted to create a “plague inc“ country, which is taking land from South Africa and Brazil. This invasion of sovereign states by a non state entity cannot be accepted, and UN members have now unanimously agreed to start a mission to fight the plague. You can help by painting over the plague occupied regions with the real-life colors of the Brazilian and South African flags. Here are the links to each contested region:

Brazil: https://wplace.live/?lat=34.47084233075901&lng=68.08543945312499&zoom=13.460869040166287

Several nations have already begun supporting us in our endeavors, such as Ukraine, Central America, Russia, and Bangladesh. We would like to thank you and all of the other painters here for supporting the UN in maintaining peace on the world's minimaps. It is our volunteers who give the UN strength.

UN Statement of Concern Regarding Escalation Between the EUSR and Turkey

Recently, it seems that Turkish and EUSR players had some major skirmish involving griefing, and that has escalated into a larger conflict. Several Turkish players have participated in griefing on EUSR art, and some nations in the EUSR are being separated, either by Turkish players or by representatives of the nations themselves. While most EUSR players have responded by attempting to clean up the griefing, a few have gone further, putting transparent pixels on Turkey.

We urge both sides to reconsider the consequences of this war, and we implore both the EUSR and Turkey to come together to reach a peaceful resolution to this crisis. Further escalation could cause irreparable damage both to the integrity of the map and to EUSR-Turkey relations, and could potentially even result in the involvement of other states. At the UN, we are ready to help mediate a peace deal, which seems necessary.

If no deal is reached, we might have to get involved. No clue what we're going to do, but we're going to get involved alright. We are very invested in peace in the European continent.

Again, we implore each of you to reach a peaceful resolution. I am very concerned, though I am not exactly sure what I am concerned about. Also Turanizm people are attacking Europe too now? the hell? calm down with the larp everyone

Info on World Powers

World Powers are nations identified as major in the wplace world. They get veto rights on votes, and get other special powers. The following are currently considered World Powers:

The United States of America

Russian Federation

People’s Republic of China

European Union of Socialist Republics

Turkey

India

Turan

The original seven were selected by the Secretary General. The rest must be selected/removed by the process outlined below.

For a nation to be added, it must have:

At least 15 active painters

Been on the Pacific or Kabul map for at least a month

Have one user(at least) with reddit contact

Be a UN member already

If these criteria are met, then a nation can apply to become a World Power. To be accepted as a World Power, their vote must:

Have 75% support amongst other world powers

Have 75% support amongst all nations

If there is between 50-75% support amongst world powers but more than 90% support amongst all nations, then the applicant is still admitted.

A nation can reject or support for any reason.

If successful, then the nation is added as a world power.

For a nation to be removed as a world power, it must first meet one of the following criteria:

- Has not existed on the world map, in neither the pacific nor the kabul, in a significant size for more than a month

- Has less than 5 active painters

If these criteria are met, any non rogue painter can make a vote to remove them from their position. If not, then they can make the vote, but 100% support would be needed instead of 75.

If 75% of world powers, excluding the one being removed, as well as 75% of all nations, approve of the removal, the nations World Power status is removed.

All votes above can be vetoed, check the pinned voting processes post for more info.

This is to be treated as a baseline policy that can be edited via votes.

Info about removal of members

Some people have been asking about how members are removed. i think i said this at some point, but ill make it its own post.

A nation that still exists on the map cannot be removed from the UN without 100% support, excluding the nation in question, in a vote. If the nation is a great power, a separate vote on removing its status as one must pass with 100% support before the removal vote is made. Other situations are listed below.

If a nation unites with another, it immediately loses its status as a separate UN member.

If a nation leaves the UN, which it can do at any time, they lose their status as a UN member.

If a nation does not hold land on the Pacific or Kabul maps for a month, it becomes eligible for being removed from the UN. This would have to be initiated in a vote, which does not have to be made immediately. If the member reestablishes itself on any one map to some significant extent during the vote, the vote is cancelled. If not, then 75% support is needed to pass, like any other vote. Like outlined above, if the nation is a great power, it must be removed from the position first in a separate vote.

If the requirements for a removal vote based on lack of existence are not met for a country but a vote is made anyway, the vote is given the same rules as in the first example(100% support needed).

All of these votes can be vetoed. See the voting processes post for more info on vetoes, theyre not as strong here.

No we are not having a vote on whether this becomes policy, we need to have a policy to start off from. You can make a separate vote to change this policy if you want.

Ruspixel, please look at the Pacific map.

Hello Ruspixel members, i know you all are active in this subreddit and have contributed to the successful reunification of Russia on the Kabul map. However, there is another place where we need your help. That is the Pacific map: https://wplace.live/?lat=44.62281755509541&lng=-160.62477539062502&zoom=12.193101644595158

Here, members of a large blue nation called "Turan" have invaded Russia in the Caucasus, while one rogue Japanese painter has invaded Sakhalin. We need your help to push them back here too. We cannot allow for Russia's territorial integrity to be degraded on any major world map.

Push to the same border that we have on the Kabul map, but exclude Azerbaijan for now, given the treaty that was made between Russia and Turan some weeks ago. Thank you for your support.

Vote on Creation of the UN Security Council

I’ve been hinting at it for a while, but its time to finally make it. This is my proposal for the UN security council.

The council’s purpose is to serve as a group that determines how the UN should intervene in specific situations.

The members of the council will be made of the seven world powers (US, EUSR, Russia, India, Turkey, Turan, and China) as well as seven other countries. These seven countries are selected based on how much they have contributed to UN peacekeeping operations and mediation between nations. They are selected by the Secretary General each month, but can be removed by 75% support for removal in a vote amongst all UN members being reached. Then, a two day period occurs where other nations can apply to fill the spot is made, and then nations can vote on which to pick. Nations can vote for multiple applicants.

We also want to reorganize the mediation process a bit. Here is what I propose:

If two countries were at war, or have a serious dispute, a discussion forum would be made for peace talks. If, after a while(at least one week from post creation) no progress has been made(determined by Secretary General or by 75% of UN members) then the UN as a whole votes on whether intervention of any kind is needed. If intervention is determined to be needed, the decision on how to do so falls onto the security council. The security council can choose any response, from the strongly worded letter, to a peacekeeping mission, as long as 75% support is reached. Security Council votes can be vetoed by world powers, using the same system as regular votes. Other council members still cannot veto.

The UN Security Council will also be referred to for votes that require confidentiality.

Other kinds of votes, like votes on joining the UN or treaties, are still voted on by all members.

Ambassadors, please select one of the following options to vote:
