Hello everyone... I know that I haven't RP'ed for a while but I will give it a try!
I've planned to start a new RP completely different from what we've been doing... it's not a war RP, it's not a biz RP... it's a very peaceful RP regarding the Election of Hyrule's New 7 Wonders.
In real life it would be easy to find many places that could be a wonder, but here in Nationstates we will have to imagine. So for a start I would like to ask you to nominate between 2 and 4 wonders in your nation... those wonders will have to be a real life building, city, statue or whatever it is (as long as it's man made) and nominate them. I will give you some valid examples.
Petra in Atlantico Norte
Robengrad Opera House
The Grat Wall of Porcu
The Taj Mahal in Ness snorlaxia
Not valid for this nominations
The Great Coral reef in Macarronesia
The Internet
The Aurora Borealis
The Amazonia Rain Forest in Sir Metz
I would also like to ask you to add some text regarding your nominations and a picture or two (it's quite easy to do that if you check Wikipedia)... and you can even check the UNESCO world heritage...
The New 7 Wonders election will have 4 phases...
Phase 1 - Nominations
Each nations representative will nominate up to 4 wonders from it's nation.
Phase 2 – Internal Semi-finals
First voting, on each participating nation will give a vote for what's the 2 best wonders from the other nations. (If there is more than 20 wonders there will be a 2nd semi-final where we will have 1 wonder/nation)
Phase 3 – External Semi-Finals
The 20 Wonders selected will be put for global voting where everyone on our region (participating or not on the contest) and embassies are invited to vote on their favourite wonder.
Phase 4 - The Official Declaration of Hyrule's New 7 Wonders
A huge show that will be held in (guess where... ) Atlantico Norte and that will be broadcasted Region wide thru ANTV Networks associated stations using High Definition Broadcast (yeah... do you still remember that RP?) and the National TV and Radio stations of the participant nations and during which it will be unveiled the elected Hyrule’s New 7 Wonders.

Hyrule’s New 7 Wonders Press Kit
History
In 2005, King Miguel from Atlantico Norte had the vision of reviving the concept of the 7 Wonders of the World. To do so, he founded the non-profit N7W Foundation, which organized this ambitious regional campaign to elect Hyrule’s New 7 Wonders. This modern campaign is based on the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, the list compiled by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C.
The ancient list, compiled by one man, was made up of man-made monuments. They were: the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Macarronesia, the Temple of Artemis in Greater Mactopia, the Statue of Zeus in Hotchilly_willy, the Colossus of Rhodes in Southwest Prussia, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Aternus, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus in Progar and the Pyramids Giza in Arcaia. Today, only the Pyramids of Giza in Arcaia remain. Philon’s selection of wonders was essentially a travel guide for fellow Athenians, and its stunning sites were all located around the Mediterranean basin, the then-known world.
The N7W campaign not only recognizes that our modern world is much larger and more diverse than that known to the Greeks 2,200 years ago. This time, Hyrule’s New 7 Wonders will not have been chosen by one man, but rather by millions of people across the world — from every single nation in the world*. The New 7 Wonders are the people’s choices, and they will be drawn from a list of finalists that includes structures from the earliest time that humankind walked upon the earth through the 20th century.
*Votes will be accepted not only from the participant nations but also from non-participant nations and embassies on our region.
