Ayoo guess what guys finally got an ok economy now!

Just took some work with the black market, but everything is actually going nicely now!

Yup, apparently all it takes to make a good economy is to make it a people's economy.

Not sure if that completely applies to the real world though

The year is 2030, what new products are companies making?

Oreos just dropped the new Aquarium Gravel flavored cookies.

Can't wait until the new kit kat flavor "Western Literature" comes out myself.

Welcome to Yturia, Society Of Green Socialists, Gulag Of Big Chungus, Elythion, The Great Babylon, Krajno, Drogate, Sharles, The Lowlands Of Holland, Chukka Chitty, Mulossia, Nancentgua, and Yanklion!

It's so nice to have you all here! You've already received our welcome telegram, which gives a lot of quality information, but I wanted to point a few things out real quick that might help you settle into the region a bit better. Refugia is part of a larger community named Calamity Refuge, or CalRef. We have a discord here: https://calref.network/chat/ and a forum here: https://calref.cc/index.php. If you'd like to be in a place where you can just chill and be around friendly people, those are the links for you. We host game nights and movie nights from the discord server, and have been recently making our way through the Studio Ghibli catalogue.

If you're interested and haven't already done so, please consider joining the World Assembly! Click the link to learn more information on that. If you join the WA, you can endorse other nations in the region (endorsing the delegate increases our regional vote) and get endorsed in return. You'll also become a Refugia Member State, which means you can vote in our elections and get a spot on our map of Refugia!

If you have any questions, please let us know. Everyone here is really friendly and almost never bite other people. If you'd rather read up on things instead of asking though, here's a dispatch that can help: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1449847

GOD, DID YOU SUMMON CAR HEAVEN OR WHAT?

portal 3?!?!?!?!?!

My favourite new product is the automated chairs and robot services they'll have on this new space cruise I've been hearing about. Or the new VR set that paralyses your body so you can use your brain to move your body in the world like you would irl!

Soooo, before or after Half-Life 3 ??

(super not daily)

DAILY QUESTION!

let's say ur in 2020 and you could

time travel to 1054bc or something like that

what would u bring

(note u can only bring an item that u can carry/drive(exp:u can get a big dumpster truck and fill it with uh poop i guess))

OPTIONAL:u can put something (like a book or pot or oven) or carve something (like u can carve the explorers names) in a cave that is about to be explored BUT u can time travel 20000 years back before the save is explored

(confusing ik im stoopid so don't judge)

I would put an amogus plushie in the cave so when they look at it they will look at each other and be very concerned because that means amogus is real and has been around for all time. I would also put a tangerine in there to make scientists think that tangerines have been around even longer than oranges (even though tangerines did come before oranges already).

POV: it's 2030 and twilight is still making games for a console from 14 years ago.

Fans are hyped for the new console coming out in 2023, Starlight.

Lava knight: The movie 2: The sacred realms has just released in June.

Survival of the palms, a survival game, has been released.

I would leave a copy of Lord of the Rings but retitle it "Recent History" in a cave to mess with archaeologists.

n o i c e

Hello friends!

Forest's seventh annual Photo Contest is beginning, and as has been the case in past years, submissions are open to anyone from our embassy regions. We'd love to see some submissions from y'all! :)

You can find more information here:

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1630240

Happy photographing!

Will tangerines play a role, or were we not impactful? Or do tangerines not count because only like 1 or 2 people necessarily like them :(

hoi

Welcome to Refugia! Enjoy your stay and don't worry, while you are here, Allokyus will protect you and share technologies :D

Welcome!

Welcome! It's lovely to have you here.

So what do you guys do here?

yes

"I have no idea"

Would you like a tangerine while waiting?

You mean, besides throwing potatoes and tangerines at each other?

High on the Tallest Treetop in the nearest Tangerine Orchard

Oh wow, congratulations! I can't believe you've been here a year already! That's so cool :D

Hoi Refugia! We've got a new thing up in the Security Council, titled "Commend Elegarth". You can vote on it here and you can view its debate thread here.

I'm in favor of this. The nominee is a longtime and respected member of the international community and has worked for the betterment of mainly two regions, The Pacific and The West Pacific. While their regions of involvement seem rather limited compared to the previous nominee (Mount Seymour) we discussed, they've certainly left their mark there. Elegarth was the leader of the resistance group that opposed the DEN-led coup of TWP in 2015, and served as the new legitimate Delegate of the region in its immediate aftermath. Chief amongst their multitude of contributions there was the creation of a Code Of Conduct that was aimed to develop a healthy community in the region, and their negotiation of the Treaty of Friendship with Europeia, a healthy bond that still exists up to this day. They've also worked to restore TP's (and to that extent, the NPO's) public image after a 2018 scandal led to them being Condemned for a second time. They alongside Xoriet and the now-retired Pierconium, were crucial in getting that Condemnation repealed earlier this year and have restored many of the region's previously lost allies and made new ones along the way, including TWP itself. They were also one of the earliest players to collect all Legendary trading cards when it was first released, and contributed to the development of TP's regional cards program by mentoring several new players, including the well-known Vylixan/Sitethief. And finally, they've worked for raising awareness about autism throughout NationStates, evident by their creation of the NationStates Autism Acceptance And Education Week and the Autism Awareness Month (March) in TWP.

Moving on to the resolution itself, it's decently written. The author has established a clear narrative about Elegarth's community-building work and tried to stick with it. While some of the mentioned things might not necessarily relate to community-building at a first glance (mostly the foreign affairs stuffs), I don't consider it to be that much of a dealbreaker. An argument can be made that the nominee's contributions in TWP and TP seems scanty in nature and that more details need to be included before they could be considered a deserving nominee, but it's my belief that the contents of the resolution are sufficient enough and make a convincing case for a Commendation. The only other concerns I can see here are in the Extolling clause, which seems to be half-full of fluff and job descriptions instead of anything Commendable, and the first subpoint of the Believing clause, which focuses on the treaty with TWP, a region Elegarth is/was a major figure of and the influence they hold there that might've contributed to its ratification.

What do y'all think about this?

Just developed weapons that change any living matter

in to potatoes

note:using this on potatoes will result in the potato growing larger

note: when the potato reaches a certain size it will explode with the power of 1/2 nuclear missile explosion(note: only works with potatoium potatoes)

Welcome! If you want to become influential in the region, the first step would be to become a member state, which would involve joining the World Assembly (click the link on the sidebar, sign up, then confirm via email). Once you do that, after seven days you'll become a Refugia Member State, which will allow you to vote in our elections, run for office, get on the map, and give/gain endorsements. If you give me (the delegate) an endorsement, the region becomes more influential, but you'll also gain in-game influence by receiving endorsements.

I'll do a proper welcome post soon for you and the other new people, but in the meantime you can check out this post I made the other day welcoming some people who came slightly before.

Calamity Refuge (CalRef) is a community outside of NationStates, but we also put a lot of work into Refugia. We're mostly interested in chatting and having fun with one another, we play community game nights, we have community movie nights in our discord server. In terms of NS, we are trying to restart a tendency to discuss World Assembly proposals as they come up, which was a thing we did for a while and now is less common, but more frequent under our current WAA Councillor than it was for a while.

nice to see you as we just ended

one of our major conflicts

The Fruitwars 2

would there be a part three

Who knows.

making a factbook about it

might be a while though

Floofybit just got a second row of top % card thingies!!! Let's go!

how did you do that?

The sacred power of poll regional officer permissions passed on to me grants me the magic to ward off the darkness for another hundred years. I must bear this burden so no one else has to.

DO NOT LET WA TAKE OUR MILLTARY

VOTE AGAINST THE WA, WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR NATIONS

What if we are am alt and cant join the WA?

Unless you apply for a member state exemption, if you still want those perks. The requirements are a little more strict for that application, but its definitely a good option, I can confirm as a non-WA member state.

can find information on that in the RRS

nice
