Welcome to Refugia 😄
I will hopefully have a map update for you guys later today.

Did you know that our delegate, Sylh Alanor, has the potential to get a top 1% World Assembly Endorsements world badge? This can be achieved if everyone who isn't endorsing the delegate endorses the delegate.
I've got my eye on Glentara, Ekajyotivolke, Nova_Egaleco, Lunarana, Uruwhy, Vinozil, Obsidian_Snake, United_Provinces_Of_Ireland, Aridu, Anarcho_Communland, Demonic_Land, Kansarin, Broadgaria, The_City-States_Of_Madagasgar, Zaphovia, Hukthala, Grand_Amoros, Thesauria, Novoflasst, Coseland, Vregia, Rilethvulk, Castelor, Metrax, San_Ult_Pro, and Society_Of_Green_Socialists...

Don't you just love the free market? Weird way to start, I know. I say this because I am now in the top 1% of Most Valuable International Artwork, which means my deck's value is one of the highest if you didn't know. How did I get this? 1 card. Right just 1, not a legendary card even. A COMMON CARD. The Community of Fortunea card to be exact. Which has a market value of 1,157. Which I assume is because 1 guy bought the card for 8000. And given market value seems to just be the average sell price, this card is now worth more than most legendary cards.
The free market is great, huh?
Lower French Gregballs, Michelland, Floofybit, Imperve, Remnants Of The Pacific, Tiralta
yes. yes it is
i was just wondering... what is generally better for your nation? wmds or no wmds?
No WMDs. no.
well.... i do have WMDs on my alt. it's to protect my citizen
Lower French Gregballs, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Imperve
Each is suited to a different type of policies and mode of governing. You need to decide what path you wish to pursue with your nation.
With my current nation (LFG), I aim for Environmentalism. This goes along with other leftist ideals I strive for with this nation, such as Democracy, Human and Civil rights, and Pacifism.
With another nation (I have 4, each in a different region), I aim for Primitiveness. I am among the Top 1% Most Ignorant with that nation. This goes along with more Authoritarianism, some more Religiousness, etc. (and also some militarism).
I have WMD's on neither of these 2, as it does not fit my primary goals for either.

Everything in your application looks fine, but you're still not a member state. A Refugi Member State is a nation that is enrolled in the World Assembly (click the link, then the button to sign up with the World Assembly, and then confirm via email) and has been in the region for at least 7 days. You've been in the region long enough, but you're still not in the World Assembly.
Once you become a Member State, I'd be happy to pass this along to be updated on the map!
Chacapoya, Typica, Vikoland, Imperve
was mine accepted?
Imperve
Yupyup
Imperve
welp it says I cant since I use my Gmail account
Imperve
What do you mean? A lot of people on NS use gmail, I would imagine.
Imperve
Ill copy and paste the message
cannot be used for WA validation, as it is a common source of disposable addresses.
I'm not sure, check the email address in your settings again and make sure you're using a gmail address. If that doesn't work, I'll see what can be done.
That's strange, I used my gmail account a week ago to get mine!
Floofybit, Imperve
Note that even though you may have puppets (other nations), only one nation may be in the WA. So, if you have another nation, it will have to resign from the WA first.
Vikoland, Imperve
So how would I be able to validate my Gmail in order to get into it
Hey Aephony, how's your cheese?
Floofybit, Imperve
I don't understand this "validate".
All you need is any email address. A lot of people in military gameplay (where WA applications are very important) use gmail, so gmail is fine. You press apply to the world assembly on the WA page: https://www.nationstates.net/page=un and click the link that comes to your email.
You only have 28 days to click the link before it expires. If there is a problem, try re-applying to the WA and clicking a new application link.

Hey can someone help me get land i don't know how

Floofybit, Imperve

Floofybit, Imperve
(actually u can have more then 1000km we don't care as long as its in ur pocket potato dimension)
Imperve
Join the tangerine side for an extravagant increase in welfare and wellbeing! Alongside our 800km deal of land we give you a great stay-in-rise-up program, increasing your land by 10% each year over the next 5 years on to richer lands (as much as 1250km). Too, we will throw in 10,000 houses for your residents, a temporary stay in Floofybit until the war subsides. We will then allow the greatest cuisine you have ever tasted in your life in wonderful Floofybit, with nature and entertainment all around! You will get all this just by joining the tangerines' side! (our army camp is located just on the outskirts of Floofybit.) JOIN THE TANGERINES NOW for all previously listed above for 80,000,000 Floofybitcoins and a bonus 20,000,000 for endorsing the idea of siding with the watermelons.

Good evening friendos!
The latest map update has just been pushed to the dispatch. Please welcome our newest additions of Goeppingen, Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats, Tiralta, Moulk2, Aephony, and Arcova. Your applications were processed, and you can see your territories in the dispatch below.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1287372
Map Changes:
One significant change that's happening this time around is that I've noticed we don't get a whole lot of responses for the question of a nation's religion. Generally people have not included an answer or left it blank. Since we've been running this map for over two years now, it's clear to me that people are not interested in this representation for their nations, so I've decided to add another one.
Starting now, you can add zones (economic or political) to the regional map. This can be something like the eurozone, this can be international climate treaties, whatever you guys can think of. It's going to be up to you to come up with them, negotiate with your fellow region members, grow or leverage these international agreements. I think it would be a good idea to maybe develop one, toss it in a dispatch, and see if you can persuade people's IC personas to go along with it, but it's ultimately up to you.
To get the new Zones and Treaties section started, Sylh Alanor and I have agreed to post our currency union, "The Planet Network", agreeing to use a single shared currency, the Refugia Planet. To add a zone/treaty to the map, see the application below the map inside the dispatch. If you would like to be added to an existing treaty, you can also telegram that to Sylh Alanor if you meet a given treaty's requirements.
Happy ruling :)

Listen here buster, I prohibited 208M ae's from touching your stupid fruit, and I can do it again.
Don't you think you can do whatever you can and want offending aephony anyhow.
Or else we will send soldiers on foxington, Do you understand?
Imperve
Attacking Foxlington wouldn't be a great idea for you. Our defense forces are well over 2.5 times higher than yours, and our decent patriotism can add to the numbers willing to fight for Floofybit. By the time your attack reaches the capital, the other surrounding countries will already have seen your war ships passing by, and may do something about it because of Refugia's lovely pacifism rates. Plus, our border control is heavily endorsed by our representatives, and allows most people nearly free passage, but when war ships are seen, the battle will be taken to the midpoint of the sea that is connecting our countries and soon likely cease; We will drive your invaders out before they reach the capital, and before your teammate, Moulk2 even reaches the equatorial line. Be warned. If you do strike, I can too prevent over 1.8 billion citizens from using cheese and potatoes sourced from your countries. I can increase trade prices with your countries 5-fold so that 10,000 gourmet cookies that would normally cost 8,000Φ would instead cost 40,000Φ. I will send a petition to you to dissipate any possibilities of war. How about this -> Tangerine=Watermelon=Potato>tomato>necc>banana
Thanks,
Lower French Gregballs, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Vikoland, Imperve
I support watermelons, potatoes, and to a lesser extent tomatoes. But tangerines are wack

The "Refugi Zones & Treaties" replacement for Religions on the map got me thinking... what if we created some sort of international treaty between as many of us as possible that would tackle maritime borders so that each nation knows where their true national borders begin and end? A real-world example of this would be the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

I use YouTube Music so I don't have a Spotify Wrapped. Apparently, YouTube is rolling out their own version of Spotify Wrapped called unimaginatively "YouTube Music Wrapped", but only a select few users are able to access for some reason. I am not one of those. One requirement to get a YouTube Music Wrapped is apparently using their service for 10 hours, but I've listened for well over 10 hours so I have no clue why I'm among those who can't access theirs.
Anyway, the closest thing I've got is "Your Favorites", but I know for a fact that I listen to other artists not on this list much more often, but here it is regardless.

I think it's funny that my top artists (save 4) and my top songs (save 1 and 2) are what they are. I guess I listen to a pretty decent variety of music, but the shuffle playlists favour certain things. Also my late-in-the-year rotation to fun vibe music didn't outbalance my "I need lyricless music while I write" phase through the beginning of the year.
