You're amazing, Suba!

I'd like to help, but I appear to have lost the ability to generate packs, lol. I've gotten two since S2 launched, with five nations on full blast for issues.

Welcome The Great Novingrod to Refugia :)

Aaawwghhshghgh you're the sweetest

Based on internal votes, I will be casting a For on the current SC resolution to represent Refugia.

Greetings and salutations friends!

We are glad to be part of your great union!

Alas, the Refugia card collection may be forever incomplete 😩

I previously wrote a kind of getting started post here, if it helps: https://calref.cc/index.php?topic=52.0

Was there anything in particular that you wanted to know?

I just wonder what type of stuff this region do. Any kinds of special events, RP, discord or anything else?

Welcome Cash Me Outside How Bou Dat. We accept all types, even those with ancient memes :P

The GA vote is currently 1-3 among Refugia members, so the delegate vote is going against unless that changes.

Welcome to Mousetown, Tulukaruq, and West Statex! If you need help finding anything, just let me know.

It comes with an issue! so you just need to be hopeful and lucky!

Also welcome to Mousetown, Tulukaruq, West Statex, and Luphania!

Are you recording everything that has ever taken place in your nation? That's very ambitious.

Congratulations to Subadent for construction of the first embassy under their tenure as councilor!

Subadent is already working on a platform to run for reelection in three weeks. It's been rather productive for him so far. O.o

It looks like the next f o u r GA proposals are lined up in the queue. I don't really care for any of them, but I'll continue to vote in the way that the majority of Refugi do. If I've missed endorsing any WA nation in Refugia, let me know and I'll get ya~

If anyone is interested in offsite content and hasn't seen it yet, the forums exist at https://calref.cc/ feel free to register and start up a conversation, we don't bite.

Anyone like Kpop?

NationStates isn't really a game where you can expect a reply to something in ten minutes.

I don't have really any strong feelings on kpop.

(￣。￣)～ *rumbles away*

Why what?

Oh, I guess I just haven't heard enough to have an opinion on it.

Also welcome The Isles Of Elysian Fields, Krus Aman, Sindodan, Oboyle, and Silvermeadow!

God, my environmental stats are really fecking low. I need to get some issues resolved.

As for Kpop, I feel like there's just far too much variety to actually have a good overview of the genre. I can't say I'm informed at all Kpop-wise, though.

Just need some good kpop suggestions ;P

That was a heck of an RMB read, but I'm glad to see we're now building an embassy with Forest. Hopefully we can find or inspire other nation to adopt environmental interests. Thanks again to Sylh Alanor for running the monthly eco report, we've had a lot of new nations lately, but we've got some good goals that we just need to add time to.

Thanks again to Subadent for getting our international relations up and running ^-^

Hey Refugia, This is an opportunity for you non-government Fellows to have some part in Refugias workings, I need people who want to be ambassadors for the following regions;

1. Forest

2. Canada

Kindest Regards,

Subadent

Yes it does, if you want to be the ambassador you can be, its a choice and im giving it to the first reliables

Welcome Wcd Ambassador! I hope you like it here, if you have any questions, just let me know. We also have a forum at https://calref.cc/index.php? where you can feel free to make an account and interact. We have a section there for Refugia things, and I know that Subadent has made a thread for foreign affairs items.

Hi friends, I'm just here to recommend voting against the current WA repeal.

It's my belief that the repeal fails to address any actual problems within the measures of the original measure. It assumes that WA nations will be forced to comply with the letter of the original law, including assuming that areas not detailed are requirements against action, instead of understanding that expression within that framework is allowed. It is my belief that playing to semantics and attempting to drive a wedge into the margins of an otherwise serviceable resolution is distasteful. In language, some things are commonly assumed so that we don't have to provide endless lists or caveats in every sentence. Structuring your argument in a way that attacks someone for not having those endless lists and mitigating circumstances laid out is something that should not be rewarded.

Hello! I'm glad to be here. I used to visit Nationstates a long time ago, and just recently remembered it exists! I'm slowly remembering how a lot of this works, and just need some time to get readjusted. If I have any troubles I'll be sure to ask, thanks Sylh_Alanor! =)

What does an ambassador need to do though. Maybe i should've asked first lol.

If nobody else wants it, I can be the ambassador for Canada. I already have a nation there, Almsivi. But I know you were thinking of having non-governmental people interact with the community this way, so I'd give them priority.

Hello everyone,

sorry for my extended absence.

Pollution is a major disturbance and great annoyance in our world as it is the leading (and probably one of the only) leading causes of climate change although some would argue that the Earth is experiencing something natural as the Ice Age is ending, but this is speeding up that process significantly and therefore putting our lives in danger. . As we all know, Africa sadly isn't as developed and on par with HDI as other countries in Europe and North (not central) America which can be a good thing and a bad thing.

Because Africa isn't as developed yet and energy and electricity isn't readily available throughout the continent. Poor infrastructure, but also at the same time, not enough infrastructure and here's why: things can change.

If the first world countries all chip in along with the UN and other charities, then Africa can be like paradise, especially now when the world is changing and evolving around environmentalism, thus the energy and electricity can be easily produced by renewable resources and clean energy instead of dirty fossil fuels as it would be VERY cheap and easy to convert and establish it in Africa. It is easier and cheaper to build new things in Africa than anywhere else on the planet and so, building proper and clean infrastructure that will help the environment and be sustainable would be easy, especially in non-developed cities and towns.

We can stop Africa into turning like developed country carbon consuming super-bots and instead work with them to ensure that their nations are strong and sustainable, all while doing it for cheap due to the labour costs there being cheap. If we put aside our differences and actually help other people and nations out, then it would go a long way as we humans, especially in the developed nations are too greedy for money. I am not speaking about everyone, but I would say some of us are without any doubt and at the end of the day, there can be the Indian race, the Chinese race, the Russian race and the German race, but everyone will always remain as and be connected with one big race: The Human Race.

Hello, new friends!

Since we now have embassies, I'd like to invite you all to join in our annual Photo Contest, which is running right now:

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1286188

Happy photographing, and I hope Forest and Refugia will have a long and fruitful embassy relationship!

Communications Branch of Forest

Hello, new friends of Refugia!

The Foreign Affairs Branch of Forest would like to extend a warm welcome to the citizens of Refugia! I was very pleased to guide the creation of embassies on our end, and I hope that our two regions grow closer together and complement each other as time passes. Feel free to drop by anytime to chat or to give news from your region.

I am also pleased to announce that [nation=long]Western Continental Divide[/nation] has volunteered to be Forest's Ambassador to Refugia.

Wishing you all a wonderful Winter Solstice, Saturnalia, and Holiday Season,

[nation=long]Ruinenlust[/nation], Foreign Minister of Forest :-D

Wankdeed your nations name gave me a minor panic attack but welcome to Refugia

Lol thanks, glad to be here!

Hi friends, I've just turned in a few photos for Forest's photo contest, if anyone else has something they want to share, you're more than welcome to join in.

WA information: The vote regarding the repeal of the Civilian Aircraft resolution is at an internal vote of 5 - 7, so the delegate vote will still be Against unless this changes.

And kind of unrelated, I've been able to locate 44 of you for the Refugia card collection! XD

Welcome to Uralu, Tristaria, Karen Walker, and Squitopia!

Wankdeed, your recommendation led me to consider the proposal more in depth, and I think you're right. It seems like a perfectly amenable proposal. I've also voted for it :) thanks for the recommendation!

I'm against since i hate commercial ship roaming around my home. 😕

EDIT: Wow, there are another four resolution in queue. Seems like the WA is ablaze with Christmas spirit. :p

Thanks to Subadent for another meaningful embassy pickup.

I have many questions.

Are you looking for centaurs or are you looking for centaur owners?

I accidentally acquired weapons of mass destruction a few months ago. Today, thanks to some kind folks embargoing me, I was able to dismantle them.

I don't even know how half of my policies ended up there. 🙃

Oh gosh, I didn't even think to add it as an option. Sorry about that 😅 what kind of mice do you like?

Within just a few days of Wankdeeds existence we managed to do what the U.S.A. had failed to do for decades. We scientifically proven that stoners are people, and deserve basic human rights. I have pics of the issue as well because the whole thing was hilarious

hi im new to ns

God, sentient iguanas is my new favourite nation name after Grandmother Is Arriving With The Cheese
