Vikoland, Imperve, Szalyland
No no no, we are all here and that's good. We can make things and be creative and become okay. Don't cease to exist, then you don't get to do things.

Hi, thanks for asking!
SCR#375 "Commend Cassadaigua" seek to commend an accomplished NS Sports roleplayer playing this game since 2008. While sports roleplaying is an uncommon niche of roleplay that many haven't heard about before, it has managed to carve out a vibrant community here in NationStates, with elaborate storylines, a impressive attention to minutiae details and a love-hate relationship with RNGesus. It is perhaps due to the unique nature of their content that they attract much more attention than other RP communities in NS, and the SC itself has recognized a fair number of them in the past.
Cassadaigua is the latest addition in this illustrated line and they're as deserving as it gets. They have won all five major single-sports competition, a remarkable feat achieved by no one before and after them. While NSS has seen its fair share of RPers fielding all-women teams in the past, Cassadaigua's women are perhaps the most successful of the bunch, bringing countless glory and honor to the nation they represent, as well as to themselves. They've also extensively worked to organize several major NSS competitions and events, including multiple World Cups (considered to be the most prestigious competition in the community). And they're a talented storyteller as well, capable of crafting engaging and entertaining plots in a consistent manner.
Now on to the resolution itself. It's...okay? I've never been a fan of how Tinhampton writes her SC resolutions - too listy and not enough narrative that highlights the character of the nominee themselves - but it's fine to read through. I definitely don't like the introduction clause and think that it doesn't really do a good job of introducing the nominee and their work to the audience, but the rest of the resolution is all right to read through. There are some awkward moments here and there; a couple of the clauses are just a bunch of sentences jumbled together using commas and it feels way too fluffy at times, but it gets the message across. Normally, I would be tempted to oppose Tin's resolutions due to her...questionable antics in the WA, but the nominee's a deserving one and it shines some spotlight onto one of the most amazing roleplaying communities I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
Full support from me on this one.

Typica, I appreciate you cleansing the infected peoples of obsidian snake during the apocalypse of the z day era. Our government is indebted to you.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Melenavenia, Vikoland, Araine, Imperve, Thenuhj
somebody shot cure missiles at my country assuming they are from America
Vikoland, Obsidian Snake
"Wouldn't they be shooting zombie hordes?"
Sylh Alanor, Vikoland
No they cured them with a missle.
In this case I'm afraid you were cured by a Canadian.
Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Araine
oh wow I thought that it would be an American
I'm hurt that you would think this of me
Vikoland

Welcome back!

Welcome once more to the refuge wonderland that is Refugia!
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland
only two day, but my NationState has been reclassified 3 times now
Typica, Vikoland, Imperve
lol best flag ever
Typica, Avatar Webby
Greetings all,
Some of you may know that NationStates recently allowed the upload of SVG files as flags for your nation. As of now, there is officially a version of the Refugia flag that has been made in this format and is infinitely scalable.
You can find the file here: https://calref.network/post/ns/flags/svg/Refugia.svg
And you can find it on display, being used by The Local Authority.
Coming up in the coming weeks, I'll be creating a graphical repository for Refugia where you can find all of our assets in one convenient location. Stay tuned.

Hey there, President of Allokyus here with some big news about our star frigate mission to Titan! After several weeks of careful exploration of Titan's deep ocean, finally the confirmation of microbial life was made after one of our drills came back with chunks of some sort of microbial colony.
This is a great day in the history of Refugia and mankind itself as the question "are we really alone out there" was finally answered. An extra crew of scientists and biologists is expected to launch next week, along with a new deep sea exploration drone made of Cirnium to investigate further into those mysterious seas. President of Allokyus out.

i drew countryballs yesterday and made a dispatch.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1615619
okk i just want to throw that out there randomly
Vikoland, Floofybit, Allokyus, Imperve, Remnants Of The Pacific, Shuadan
Post self-deleted by Sankaradomin.
Certainly. First off, my apologies for the lateness of this response. I've just returned from travels to see family, and had a very good time.
To respond to your request in re: Security Council Resolution # 375, I'd say as follows:
This is a resolution aiming to commend the Matriarchy of Cassadaigua for its excellence and truly commendable actions in winning all 5 of the major single-sport competitions (Football World Cup; World Baseball Classic; Gridiron World Bowl; International Basketball Championship; and World Cup of Hockey.) By that alone, being marked as the only nation to have done so, this is a truly impressive and laudable action, and should bring commendation from the World Nations assembly.
However, the resolution goes further than that impressive order. It's crafted to highlight the fact that the nation has gone above and beyond to bolster the causes of women's rights and the equality of gender in the world by taking said championships with all-women's teams. They've won championships, specifically in the WC, WBC, and the Basketball championships, seven times alone, noted here as being led by the nation's Male Equality Now movement, which leads into the resolution specifically naming and commending five individual female athletes who've gone above and beyond through their incredible sportsmanship, as well as their personal championed causes, from differently abled rights, to the equality of the elderly.
Finally, the resolution further highlights the impressive actions and achievements of the journalists, writers, and administration of the nation, listing a litany of successfully run events, campaigns, and writings which have been crafted since the founding of the nation, highlighting the hands-on, and creative measures taken for the community from Cassadaigua.
Looking at the nation itself, it is clear that there have been concessions by the government of the nation to achieve as they have. Unfortunately, though their economy is incredibly strong, notably so, the working class and unemployed members are left to struggle, locked into a lot to starve to death, suffer, and die with a lack of healthcare. The 1,881 trillion of income the economy creates per year is apparently not enough to keep people alive, forcing a 28 to 1 disparity between the top ten percent of individuals, and the poorest. Further, the capitalist nation, ruled by a monarchy, also allows for child labor to exist within its borders.
It would be for these reasons that I would have recommended Refugia to either deny the commendation; or, at the very least, abstain from voting on such, even considering the efforts of the sports teams, and the heavy press towards feminist ends of the nation.
Thank you very much for your time.

Reminder to everyone that this is the last day to vote for the next Councillor of World Assembly Affairs.
Turn in your vote today if you have not done so already: https://vote.calref.network/vote/20

Hello i am new to this game and don´t know how to play, my first question is how do i look at the world map?
Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Valdonland, Imperve, Remnants Of The Pacific
Unfortunately, there is no world map as there are 244,000 nations in the world. That's probably a few too many to easily digest with everyone's RP.
In Refugia, however, we have a map of our own and it's located here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1287372
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Araine, Imperve
okay can i have one of the islands then?
like maybe the one that is partially claimed by ¨worth¨
You can find information on how to get a spot by reading the dispatch.
Typica, Vikoland, Michelland
okay but it said i had to be a member what does that mean? is this game freemium?!
speaking of the map can I be put on the map even though I'm not in the world assembly?
A Refugia member state is someone in the world assembly who is in the region for seven days.
Typica, Vikoland, Imperve
Post self-deleted by Aephony.
You joined the World Assembly three minutes ago, so you'll be a member state in seven days, yeah!
Typica, Vikoland, Imperve
It is, yeah. My script will detect your nation in a little after an hour and you'll automatically have access to the voting site, etc. Endorsing the delegate also gets you added to the Lottery of All Things.
You should probably read the laws of this region. Those are here:

I was beating this level 53 in 4 rounds and then all it takes is the level 50 to be 1 point ahead and I lose
Hi Floofybit, it appears we have conflicting claims on the map. Rather than draw this out into a never-ending diplomatic dispute I will just instead immediately declare war on you so we can get this over quickly. Thanks for understanding.

Is it normal to use planets as a currency here? because that's...
Well it's something.

They're not *real* planets. They're smaller, compact, digital, nutritionally dense owo
Chacapoya, Lower French Gregballs, Lethodus, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Imperve, Aephony, Sankaradomin
wow this is the only decent region out there
Siornor, Vikoland, Inaros Opa
Agreed
Imperve
Wait...
There is a banner called "Custom #1"
when you reach 50M citizens.
Is it called that or I make my own, if so;
What's the difference between it and "Custom #2" and "Custom #3"?
Lower French Gregballs
Also, do I have to mention Refugia in the history Factbook?
Imperve
Can we eat the money
Vikoland, Imperve, Remnants Of The Pacific
It means you can create your own banner, and create up to three of them to rotate on your nation page.
Lower French Gregballs, Typica, Vikoland, Imperve, Aephony
Oh Thanks much

Do you keep your phone in your left or right pocket?
Chacapoya, Typica, Vikoland, Araine
Right... I'm right handed, and also having something heavy in my left pocket feels weird for some reason
Lethodus, Typica, Vikoland
you are not alone
Lethodus, Vikoland
Hello! Im new to this whole thing in general, and Im not fully sure how this group thing works, but I got a telegram about it and it seemed neat!
Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Araine, Inaros Opa, Imperve, Aephony, Remnants Of The Pacific
Right, I am not a physcopath.
Lethodus, Vikoland, Imperve
yep I've noticed that this is the best region.
(make sure to become a member!)
Imperve
How exactly do I do that?
Join the World Assembly
Wait 7 days.
If you have been in Refugia & the WA for more than a week, then you already are.
Typica, Imperve
God, it feels weird helping since I usually am the one getting helped
Tovenia, Imperve
Ah, thank you! Ill have to wait then, since I joined today.
Imperve, Aephony
so when you click on world assembly at the top there is a button saying to join it. You will need to give an email, so that it can send you an email if you have been accepted or not. Once you do that wait 7 days. Then your a member of Refugia!
Idovatrac
Is there a way to become a member state without joining the WA? We are strongly anti-globalist.
Welcome! You've probably seen it in the welcome telegram, but feel welcome to join our discord and forum to chat with us. We have a lot of stuff you can do here, it's lovely to have you.
Chacapoya, Typica, Vikoland, Araine, Imperve, Remnants Of The Pacific, Idovatrac
How do I make a custom classification, like
instead of- Kingdome of __________
This kind- the [Something Custom] of __________
Vikoland, Imperve
You have to obtain 500 million citizens from what I've read. I believe it takes three months or so to get there based on the rate I've seen national populations grow at.
Chacapoya, Vikoland, Imperve, Aephony
Imagine having pockets
Chacapoya, Lethodus, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Araine, Imperve, Avatar Webby
Once you do have 500 million citizens, how do you get it custom?
Chacapoya, Lethodus, Vikoland, Araine, Imperve
It updates the nation personalization page, the option will appear and you will get a notification.
Vikoland, Imperve, Avatar Webby
While I love the mystery implied by Magic Coin, I dont know if I could live with the constant fear that I would sit on something uneven and shatter my phone.
Vikoland, Araine, Imperve, Sankaradomin
That's legit, but I always take the phone out before sitting. I've done it so long it's become second nature.

Notice:
Elections for the Councillor of World Assembly Affairs have concluded. Dacay has prevailed, with 67% of the vote. Please congratulate them on their victory and wish them well this term! With Dacay elected, World Assembly Affairs maintains its streak of only being occupied by WA authors, which is not something many other regions can pull off.
Please, as well, thank Sankaradomin for a passionately-argued campaign which brought their thoughtful insights to Refugia. I am very certain that the office would have been in good hands with either candidate, and I very much hope you will carry on in this field which you have already demonstrated skill and affinity in.
This poll concludes our last election for this year. Thank everyone for voting. The next term's elections will be in February.
The Star Enpire, Chacapoya, Lethodus, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Melenavenia, Vikoland, Araine, Michelland, Junitaki-Cho, Imperve, Dacay, Haibaria, Sankaradomin
Thank you very much, and thank you to everyone who cast their votes both towards my camp, and towards Dacay's. I have no doubt they will, with their skill in writing and experience, advance the cause and regional interest in the World Assembly's resolutions.
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Araine, Michelland, Junitaki-Cho, Imperve, Dacay, Remnants Of The Pacific
You ran a really wonderful campaign, and I hope to see you participate in discussions and get involved with things and run again in the future.

okay but see I'm weird. I'm right handed and keep it in my left pocket.
Well when i have pockets anyway
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Araine
When I keep my phone in my pants pocket, it's back-right, despite me being left-handed. I have a pretty cool jacket with an inside pocket though, and my phone goes in the right inside pocket of that if I can... especially more recently as I've been wearing clothes that barely have pockets at all, if at all.
Lethodus, Typica, Vikoland, Araine, Allokyus, Imperve, Sankaradomin
wth
All my life I've been good but now, woah I'm thinking
Chacapoya, Vikoland, Imperve
I do not wear pants or shorts that don't have pockets. I simply would not survive xD
But yes, back right pocket for me-- I keep my key card in my back left pocket, earbuds in my front left pocket, and mask in my front right pocket.
I also do sometimes wear a vest if it's cold outside and then my phone goes in the right vest pocket.
Typica, Sylh Alanor
I don't keep anything in my back pockets because I'm always paranoid that someone will steal whatever's in them since they're more vulnerable there. I usually have a jacket on anyway so I put stuff in those pockets. We also have school uniform in the UK so I have to wear a suit to school which has many pockets for pens and similar stuff.
