Welcome! It's always nice to see new people joining :D
Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Adawu, Tiralta, Planet Risa
Hey guys I'm new to this game and I could use some pointers on what to do, any suggestions are appreciated
Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho
We have some guides on certain aspects of the game here (https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1449847#howdoes), but it's not comprehensive. You can answer issues to affect the stats of your nation and try to cultivate it in certain directions (either playing blindly or by using a database of statistical outcomes to assist), you can collect and trade cards and build a collection, you can write and critique proposed laws in the World Assembly, you can even get involved in PvP international gameplay if you're crazy enough. Whatever sounds most interesting, there are folks around who can help set you on the right path.

Okay, I'll look into it, thanks

It's MARIO
Yondoria, Comstockia
I can not wait for the map update. I want to see my beautiful country up on that map with all you great people.
Floofybit, Tovenia, Tiralta, Comstockia
Greetings Refugia. I am in a war with The Gayland Isles, and I would like to make a trade deal for weaponry, mercenaries, and other supplies.
Thank you for the support
Adawu, Yondoria
I had to give my 100% political freedom in the pursuit of pizza perfection. Such is the corrupt nature of my national industry.
Chacapoya, Typica, Floofybit, Liphia, Adawu, Tiralta, Polushia
wait hold up trade how do you do that
How did you did you manage to end up in a war?

ItÂ’s an rp sort of thing, you would just put up a dispatch of factbook tagging me about what your sending. You can telegram a price or any other details you would like to add before posting it

Map Update!
Hello, I have finally had some time to work on the map files, and Sylh Alanor has been gracious to help me sort through all the things and get it moving.
New Additions:
[list]
[*] Cheesy Tots (Potato)
[*] Polushia (Portuguese)
[*] Rivillia (Bob)
[*] Azelandia (Naturalist)
[*] Talmon (Djornian)
[*] Comstockia (Refugi)
[*] Portmanteau (Manteauan)
[*] Targis (Targanian)
[/list]
Expansions:

[*] Djorner
[/list]
There are about four or five nations on the map who have CTE'd in the last couple weeks. I'm willing to give these nations until the next update to return to Refugia (as many of them have done in the past), but since we're getting pretty full on this map, that's about all the time I'm going to give them to do that. Also interestingly Talmon has asked to have the Djorner culture, which has been removed in the same update since they left the region, so Talmon is now the ancestral home of Djornian.
As always, if you guys want to play around with the map files on your own, there's a copy of the most recent save, along with a number of previous updates, on the network site. The latest save file is here:

Me and one of my irl friends have been having our countries be enemies lol
Floofybit, Tiralta
So many new people, it's been fun spotting everyone on the map!
I'd also like to commend Lethodus for supporting a population of over 5.5 billion on what appears to be a 2km² island.
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Lethodus, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Polushia
Its truly my greatest feat

Talmon looks like we are neighbours now.
Cheesy Tots, Floofybit, Tiralta, Talmon
the want to be on the map (when i am eligible) but also the want to be a lil island nation (and i don't think there are any islands left...)
Typica, Floofybit, Tiralta
!!!Neighbor gang!!!
Floofybit, Tiralta, Polushia
What do you need as support? I don't have much to spare, so it will be a bit pricey
I can purchase warships, guns, and non-nuclear weaponry (I do not plan on using IBMs)
I can provide at least 10 warships for 10 million dollars each, and about 10000 guns for about 500 dollars a piece
There is one to the left of Vikoland and two next to Lethodus :)
Talvezout, Floofybit, Tiralta
for some reason allowing people to leave dead bodies around instead of burying them and it decreased my ideological radicality... what y'all up to?
Tiralta
Trying to bolster my struggling economy
Tiralta
thinking of starting an irl micronation (like sealand and stuff)
Cheesy Tots, Floofybit, Yondoria
Where would it be
Everetunga-Hari
probably in my neighborhood, I would go around in a uniform asking people if they want to join lol
Floofybit, Yondoria, Tiralta
Cool
Everetunga-Hari
Perfect! We'll have the funds transferred right away!
Pleasure doing business, good luck comrade
Talmon
As well as the small ones mentioned already, there are also two bigger islands if that's your jam - one in the far east, just south of Wombats, and one in the very south, to the west of Narwhal.
Talvezout, Floofybit
Trying to (peacefully) fight my way to a 1% Pacifism badge without completely tanking civil rights and political freedom.
Chacapoya, Floofybit
New poll up! Tell me how you feel about crafting in video games
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Tiralta
And a bigger island to the east below Wombats. (Not a phrase I ever expected to write)

Hi
Planet Risa
How does the world assembly join?
Lucky! I canÂ’t even leave my home country without the government butting its nose inÂ
Jeez... that seems bad. Where you from?
Â…United StatesÂ
Planet Risa
Guys, can I vote in the world assembly here on the app or do I have to enter the website?
*facepalm*
🤦🏻
You have to be in this region for a week.
Got it, I still understand how this game works. I'm still very confused
Chacapoya, Typica
You just said you understand how the game works and then you said you are confused?! My goodness, you don't make sense.
Remnants Of The Pacific, Mdnarmia
I still do not understand. It's spelled wrong, it must have been when translating into English.
Haibaria
hello internet friends. i learned about this game today and this looked like a nice region to start a breakfast utopia in
Typica, Floofybit, Liphia, Tovenia, Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats, Tiralta, Polushia, Planet Risa
Welcome in!!!!!
Does it come with French Toast? 😍
Typica, Tiralta
We have our own, regional toast traditions
Floofybit, Tiralta, Pangeodrea
You should be able to vote in the world assembly on the app, but I don't know for certain because I don't use it.
This is incorrect, the world assembly is not our regional election.
This is incredibly rude to a new player. It was clear that wasn't what they meant.

LetÂ’s make a toast for toast!
Refuge Isle
How bout let's make a toast for being nice to new players.
Chacapoya, Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta, Porthosia
Aye aye captain
Refuge Isle, Liphia, Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats, Tiralta, Comstockia
On the topic of toast... What's the best toast topping? My favourite is peanut butter and banana.
Chacapoya, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Porthosia
I used to like cinnamon and sugar but not really anymore. Peanut butter and banana always is such a big staple of my toast life, so much better than peanut butter and jelly! I really like when the yolky eggs get on my toast too. For some reason yolky toast tastes like heaven lol
Chacapoya, Refuge Isle, Araine, Tiralta, Porthosia
I've been trying different kinds of bread lately. I think smashed avocado and nutritional yeast with a little sriracha works nicely, but if it's something like sourdough I honestly just like some butter.
Chacapoya, Typica, Refuge Isle, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta, Comstockia, Porthosia
I saw this weird cashew spread on my microwave and I put it on some toast, turned out to be pretty nice
Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta, Comstockia
I donÂ’t eat peanuts, so I go for almond butter and banana instead (almond butter and honey is good too). I also like avocado with garlic powder and salt. If I donÂ’t have access to produce I will use butter with marmite or honey.
Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta, Porthosia
Butter. It's basic and I like it
Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta, Porthosia
Is it possible to change or establish a religion in the country?
Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Liphia
It is, but you don't get the issue to unlock that field until you reach 1bn population.

Is the population in the game growing by an amount per day?
Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Tiralta
Yep! It increases by 5-7 million per day but I believe increases faster at the start.
Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Liphia, Tiralta
Yes you can once you reach 1 billion citizens I recommend you read the FAQ
Hey, uh, Arch-Admin here.
There's a lot of places around NationStates that have this sorta CHECK THE PINS emote system to justify as little social investment into people as possible, or otherwise process them like cattle whenever they need something, and I'm just not really up for that. If someone has a question, they're certainly welcome to ask it. If you know the answer, you're welcome to answer it. But I don't think that it's a good mentality (not only in our region, but in real life) to talk down to someone or dismiss their question as needing to do more background research on their own first.
It's just not the environment that I'm interested in being in and, since I made this place, I'm somewhat invested in keeping it out of here.

High, I'm also a puppet of Adawu!
Floofybit
I just really like answering the questions...
Floofybit, Tiralta
I have learned that the term "refugia," the plural for "refugium," refers to places that sustain remnants of isolated populations that have been affected by widespread ecological change. Such places can act as a refuge for these populations until the day that the climate readjusts, after which they may disperse outward, once again, to repopulate.
Neat. I wasn't aware that it was a real term. Seems fitting.
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Inaros Opa, Adawu, Everetunga-Hari, Tiralta
Oooh eggs on toast is a very close second for me!
It's a classic for a reason for sure!
Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Polushia, Porthosia
The only question, was it done on purpose?
Portmanteau
I've just arrived from the pacific, hi everyone

How do I build embassy?
Cheesy Tots
Welcome!
Only an executive founder, an executive delegate, or an appointed regional officer may construct or destroy embassies.
Cheesy Tots, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta, Polushia, Planet Risa
Can each person have only one country in the world assembly?
Typica, Floofybit
Yeah, it's against the rules to have more than one WA nation at any given time.
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Floofybit, Adawu, Aephony, Tiralta, Polushia
So it's forbidden to have more than one nation in the game? I have another one besides this one. How do I delete it.
You're allowed to have multiple nations, but only one can be in the world assembly. If more than one is in the world assembly, you just click the resign button on the WA page for that nation.
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Floofybit, Tiralta, Polushia
We prefer syrup, or honey, with butter. Yellow Label syrup is excellent because it is syrup blended with honey. We have also used Aunt Jemima syrup, but it has become even harder to locate than Yellow Label.

Is it possible to shorten the time when problems appear?
Sylh Alanor, Adawu
Sadly, it is not. With the slight caveat that, should you have the throttle toggled on, removing it will allow the issues to arrive in the minimum amount of time, which I think is 6 hours. To check that, go to your Settings, scroll down to Issues, and make sure it is set to "No Throttle." This is the default setting.

Man I haven't touched my nation in YEARS. I was serious about this in like 2017. Would like to get that motivation back.

Please send us the Discord link of the region.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Tiralta
It's the link that says discord at the top of the region description if you just want to click, but the discord link is calref.network/chat if you're cool with copying and pasting.

I think it'll be best for me to create a new nation, have it be similar to this one but like new of course. But this region does seem friendly, I'll probably join back when I form my new nation.
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Aephony, Tiralta
I’ve found that continuity is key to keeping myself going in this game. I’ve let my nation “disappear” a few times over the 10+ years I’ve played, but I always find it easier to slip back into my existing nation than to start a new one. I used to have several colony nations that I played around with too, but they became too much to keep up with.
Delta Vega Iv, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta
Is it possible to merge all nations into one? For example: I have 4 nations, is it possible to join them?
Adawu
Is there any way to make the population faster? I'm just growing a million a day.
Adawu
I think not
Answer issues. I think it helps
Delta Vega Iv, Typica
I don't know if answering issues influences population growth, but even if it does, its impact is pretty negligent. The main factor in population growth is the mere passage of time.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
Yeah, the more complicated answer is that your population only goes up when it updates at major. Which means, gets hit by NationStates' database scanner which passes over this particular region every day at a little after 21:30 GMT -8.
You start at 5m when you found, and go up by a few million per day to start until you get a random roll of 5-7m per day after that. There are some specifics to this (and answers to many other starter questions), in the South Pacific's guide: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=444406#Basics_Population
