Precisely. When you are a minority (doesn't matter in what category, and most people find themselves in some minority or other), you learn to value Democracy, and the freedom it grants minorities to be themselves, and the need to protect that freedom for everyone else as well.

I think Cretox is commendable but this specific commendation is written in poor taste, In My Humble Opinion, which is why I voted Against.

Can everyone please endorse me? I am trying to grow my empire as much as I can. Thank you so much for your support!

Of course! I need to continue the legacy of endorsing everyone

It's kind of a grey area.

For some, there's no real difference and they just lean into the word they found first or like best.

For some, bi is two or more genders or gender expressions (so you may be attracted to women and all kinds of nonbinary people, but not men)

For me, the personal reason I say I'm bi rather than pan is that I find gender still has an impact on what I find attractive. There are things I find attractive in men or nonbinary people that I don't find attractive in women, for example. However, there's almost certainly someone else with that "criteria" to their attraction that identifies as pan, and that's okay too.

When I saw the link I knew what the video was. Lol

Eh... I tried `\(*-*)/` 😅

Dear citizens of Refugia,

Does anyone have any useful advice for someone starting Nation States?

Thanks,

The best way to get everyone to endorse you is to endorse them :) most people will endorse someone back when they're endorsed by that person.

I was wondering what the point of cards were. Should I just sell them? And what can I use the money for?

This cards don't have a real motive, they are just for fun and collecting. You can make collections of cards of whatever you want. The money you use to buy more cards to your collections and expand the space for you to own more cards. I think it's just that, someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes! Populations grow passively, so the longer you play the game, the bigger your population will get.

After about a billion variations, we've finally decided on a flag... I think.

Thank you!

Help how do i get my pizza stocks back up?

How do i get influence

You did try but a ton of people memorized the link.

You generate one influence point for every update (so two points per day). You get an extra point per update for every person endorsing you (requires you to register for the World Assembly). If you want endorsements, the best way to get them is to endorse other people ^-^

Stupid Flanders!

It's quite literally called a cheesecake

It has more in common with a pie than a cake tho.

Who wants to share a border? I’m currently working on a map, just of Talmon and the bordering nations

Can I be on the north east?

We would be neighbors. That would be nice

Wait you are talking about the official Refugia map?

Ok if you want to be in the Refugia official map you need to be in Refugia for at least 2 weeks (if I am correct) and you need to be a member of the WA. Then you need to fill an questionary and sent it to Sylh Alanor. Then you wait for the next map uptade

And this is what says for you to make the questionary

Nations may only apply for a placement on the map if they are a Member State.

Describe nation size as clearly as possible, including borders and map landmarks.

Nation size will be considered relative to its time residing in the region, with some considerations made for nations with large populations. New nations will be expected to start small.

Nations that Cease to Exist will be removed from the map.

Nations may expand over time with growth.

Capital and Religion can be included even if your nation population hasn't unlocked those options yet.

Capital Location can be left blank if you don't care to specify.

Colour can be listed as a colour or hex code.

Hello friends! The long awaited nation of Website, promised by Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats, is here!

Thanks of the correction/explination

I was wondering what the embassies were and I was wondering if I could be a ambassador to a region because there are so many regions and only so many members of the Refuge.

I don't want to step on WAA's toes, but I was eyeballing the next GA proposal - Access to Scientific Knowledge https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=hulldom_1648051925 - and it looks kind of bad? Curious to get some other thoughts on this.

For one, I think defining "sciences" is unnecessary and not super well thought out. "[T]he academic study of natural phenomena and processes, social functions and relationships, and thought about those categories" might sound comprehensive at a glance, but I think it leaves a lot of wiggle room. What about the study of unnatural things, like behaviours of manmade devices? What is natural? Can it be argued that some phenomena are unnatural from a theological perspective and thus exempt? Then there's point 3, which is strange because it mandates the submission of scientific data to the CSD - which, if it's necessary to exist, should probably be under WASP - but doesn't clearly define the terms for this, whether it's all data or all published data or a quota, what would happen if a nation had no research program, etc.

Then you have section 5, which appears to contain a contradiction: sections 3 and 4 allow for an exemption on the submission of data which "is classified for the purposes of national security, defense, or represents a proprietary trade secret." Section 5, however, has the CSD reviewing justifications for these omissions despite lacking access to the data on which they're supposed to rule. No clarification is made about what happens in the event that the member state's justification is deemed inadequate. I also think 6(a) is a big ask for an organization that's already tasked with processing and archiving all WA scientific data, to also have to conduct enough research to determine whether it's able to be replicated.

Looks great!!!

Dang, that's hella cool!

I don't why but it's really fun to read all the illegal Security Council and General Assembly proposals 😄

:D

It's nice to see you again!

have a mighty goodnight kind sir or lady

:0 some of us are enbies

What do u say to a non binary. goodbye.... it, thing what? really im confused lol

Are there "Issue Series"? Because I think I got one of the Serie "MADness". What are this series for?

Would you guys like it if we did a daily icebreaker so we could get to know each other better?

Day 1

What country do you live in?

(If you live in the US say what state do you live in)

Answer down below!

Portugal; Autonomous Region of the Azores

It's not in all issues It's only in one I got today, I don't know what it means. Maybe It's an easteregg? Or a special edition?

Just made some study about this and it appears that this is part of an "issue chain" much like an RPG, I will be getting new issue about this 'till I finish the chain. How many issue this chain has? No ideia. But the chain I got is only for players that have mass destruction weapons so yea. I am going to start this chain. This is cool.

Ha

I live in England now, but I was born and raised in Ireland.

oh sweet, i'm from ireland too and i'm still here

Colorado (US)

But I move around pretty frequently. I’ll be living in the UK over the summer.

I usually say y’all, unisex and classic

New Hampshire, United States

Yup! There are a few issue chains, but Madness is the longest at the moment. I don't remember how long it goes for but it's pretty significant. There are also a decent number of issues that have a follow up issue depending on the answer you give.

Canada. I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
