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.

I don't like Articles 3 and 4. The way it is currently written a WA member could simply withhold whatever scientific data they want under the guise of "national security" thus rendering the entire resolution null.

It was weirdly worded when I looked at it but looked fine, but now that I can see what it says written out and what is said on it I can understand.

Certain countries, specifically fascist ones, should not be getting their hands on groundbreaking technology and scientific advancement. Plus, we all deserve privacy. Let me operate on my own terms, if I wish to keep a discovery to myself, my country has the right to.

Dear Refugi,

I would like to create a common currency among all nations with in Refugia. I am aware of the Planet Network, however it seems as if the requirements for joining are above the level of many nations. I vow to create the ‘Refugian Coin’, a currency that is used in all Refugian member states.

For the treaties the criteria are set to reflect the signatories' values as nations. In this case, I believe it's quite difficult to achieve those specific criteria without being a socialist nation, although some of us have achieved it and just don't use planets (Tiralta will always use stars as it is derived from our nation's ancient name: Tír Réalta or star land in English).

Other reasons for criteria are that it gives something to work to in game, for example one day I'd love to see if I am allowed to negotiate signing the Araito Treaty but I just need to wait for a few policy issues to come up so I meet the criteria - it's good motivation for now to come back and answer issues daily to hopefully get what I need.

If a universal treaty with no criteria is something your nation values that's absolutely fine, but much like real life treaties they are usually just a fun way to show common beliefs and teamwork hence needing a little work to achieve. Some however, like the Chacapoyan Airspace one, are entirely free for everyone to agree to!

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you agree to a treaty? Is it through actual dialogue or is there some button you click? I only started getting into this like a day ago so I'm a bit confused about certain things

Dialogue, Nationstates doesn't have RP buttons, basically all roleplay is dialogue, here is an example:

"Aephony agrees to the [Name]ian treaty of [Name]" In a telegram, Regional Message Or even factbook.

Also, If you are wondering about the WA, it's not technically treaties, It's a button in that case.

“It” is a pronoun, not a way of addressing someone. Using it would be akin to saying “hi she” which just doesn’t make sense. I always use “friend” but I’ve also heard “comrade.”

Just so you know, when we have a treaty it is usually arranged through telegrams rather than the RMB (Regional Message Board). You then send that all of that info at once in one telegram so they can update the treaty/map list! It makes it easier to keep track of stuff rather than multiple telegrams and pages upon pages in the message board.

On a side note, please can you not spam the message board? It makes it easier to see other conversations that may also be going on for the rest of us.

Shortly before 5:00 local time this morning, Djorner vacated both the Calamity Refuge discord server and moved his nation out of Refugia. Djorner had been inactive for 14 days at this point, but was still a Member State in Refugia. As he didn't have an exemption to his member state status, the relevant guidance dictating his Member State status is RRS 3a, which states: "A Resident will lose its status as a Member State if it elects to depart the Region, its status is self-requested to be revoked, or the Resident is ejected."

On top of leaving the region for Free Nations Region, Djorner has had a rough half-term as Councillor of Culture, in which he was mostly absent. During his time in office, he has headed no events, created no content, and only copy-pasted the previous Councillor's official dispatch, leaving some coding out so that it was more or less botched. The only seemingly official moments during his time in office were a strangely in-character statement on the invasion of Ukraine and a couple trivia questions, the answers to which were factually incorrect and needed to be checked.

Just a thing unrelated to Djorner, if a member of Refugia can't log in for a period of time, let's say a month, is he automaticly out of Refugia?

If you know you're going to not be able to log in for a while, you can set yourself to vacation mode in your settings. This means your nation ceases to exist (CTEs) after 60 days instead of 28. That's not a Refugi thing, it's a NationStates thing.

I know some nations can be refounded, but I'm not entirely sure of the game mechanics around it or if a CTE nation has to meet some criteria to be refounded - an older nation (or a forum search) could probably answer that one.

Edit: I initially wrote region when I meant nation, woops

Polushia wrote:Just a thing unrelated to Djorner, if a member of Refugia can't log in for a period of time, let's say a month, is he automaticly out of Refugia?

If you don't log in for 28 days, your nation ceases to exist. That's a mechanic of NationStates. If you don't have a nation in Refugia, obviously you can't be a resident or member state within the region. That being said, you can refound your nation as long as you remember the password, and move back into the region. If you come back (as many people have done in the past) with the same or a different nation, we recognise you as the same person and we're happy to have you back in the community, but as far as NS goes, if you're not here you're not here, and can't fulfill your duties as a Councillor (if you are one).

This is also why we have the discord server. A lot of people are active on the server who aren't active in the region, and vice-versa. We've sort of developed two fairly distinct communities with some overlap, but if someone can't be on NS for a while due to school firewalls or other obstacles to access, but is active in the discord or on our forum, nothing has to change. It's generally a very laid-back policy.

When a nation CTE's, one of three things happens. If it had less than 500 million population, it will be reserved for five years, but after that time the name will be released and anyone else can register with that name. If it had more than 500m residents, the name is permanently reserved. In either of these cases (within five years for the first, or forever afterward for the second), the original nation owner can log in again with the same password and answer a prompt (Do you want to revive this nation) with "yes", and the nation revives in one of the sinker regions: Osiris, Lazarus, or Balder.

If the nation was destroyed by moderators, it can never be founded or revived, and will show a 'Disgraced' tag.

Why the hell is my political freedom so low. i didnt do anything for it

I just Checked what i actually did in my state. My main sources of Money: Are Uranium Mining, furniture restoration and Arms manufacturing. I somehow stripped my population from political rights and forbid elections, while destroying my enviroment. I Also legalised cannibalism, weed and forbid gambling for good measure. I also established some uber patriotic pledge of alliegance thing, yet still grant everyone high civil rights. I also have a space program.

What went wrong

Tiralta

I was wondering, will their be a election to replace Djorner as Councilor of Culture? If so, when will it be?

AFAIK no, per the RRS, Refuge will appoint someone to take over the seat or they themselves will serve until the next regular election.

Polushia, Comstockia

No, as per RRS 9, an election will be held if the recall passes.

oop, apologies on that then

Tiralta

Yeah, that used to be the case, but at this point I can only appoint someone if they resign outright or no one runs for the office.

On the bright side, it's been over a year since i needed to fill in for someone!
