Pendlerpass August 2020.png

The Pendlerpass (lit.commuter's pass) is a type of a contactless smart card made by the Transportministerium exclusively for use on all modes of Alliaronian public transportation. It was created in 2019 under the behest of the Transportation Rehabilitation Act of 2018; which primarily targeted on deprecating the practice of cash payments and integrating innovative technologies. Negotiations with Goyanes resulted in integration with the Gojan ik-kort network upon its release, allowing Alliaronian commuters to use their Pendlerpasses on the Høyhastikettog.

The Pendlerpasses are nationalised cards, and all cards are subject within the jurisdiction of Alliaronian laws of the Transportministerium. However, with its integration on the Gojan ik-kort network, the cards have been in circulation all around the Western Gothis area. The cards are officially sold on vending machines and convenience stores in both Alliaronia and Goyanes, and as such are valid for public transport use in both countries. Integration within the Grenseverein area has been also considered. (See more...)

What is Eras
Eras is the largest of The North Pacifics four forum roleplay communities. It is set in a Modern Tech+ setting, meaining it's largely a world similar to what we live in today but features a handful of races of non-human origin, or technology that is ever-so-slightly ahead of our own. However, this doesn't stop roleplayers from writing historical roleplay set far in the past.

Primarily, the setting focuses on narratives, characters, and political intrigue amongst governments with direct war roleplay taking the backburner (although we are also home to very talented military worldbuilders). As an RP community, we strive for collaboration in the commitment and consensus of the RP setting worldbuilding, aiming for creativity through diverse ideas built by each individual member of the community.
How to Join Eras
While Eras is tied to the NationStates region The North Pacific, having a citizenship or even a nation present in the region isn't a prequesite. The only thing a prospective roleplayer needs is a Forum Account in order to post in the Roleplay Subforum, where all In-Character activity takes place.
After registering, you'll want to head to the Map Thread - you can either join the Discord and discuss with more established roleplayers what place could fit you best or make a claim right away. Eras has no hard limit on what you can and cannot do with your nation in respect to its geographic position, so there's never a need to worry about feeling limited.
Typically, you don't need to wait for your map claim to be processed in order to begin partaking and building your nation which means, from this point on, you're able to roleplay, worldbuild, and grow in Eras. For a detailed FAQ see the Additional Links.
