Welcome Rivillia, Of The Twin Cities, Pushkash, Isomede, Friaye, Poloneisa, Olicandrocia, Sadness And Anger, Lerakio, Denca, Doge Capitali, Cathan, and Ithuster to Refugia!

It's so nice to have you! 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. On the forum we have RPs and spam games (not really related to NS).

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

Also welcome back to the friends we missed, The Everlasting Kingdom Of Zeal, Skanatavria, Costa Brillante, Gueeweeuelooue, Gueeweeuelooue, Gueeweeuelooue, and Ezpassion!

Planets are a reference to ManiaPlanet Planets (https://doc.maniaplanet.com/client/planets). We used to use them for bets and other random things without meaning because they had no other practical use.

thanks for clearing that up! I will put up a rudimentary conversion dispatch on my nation in no time!

The reason is that 200k+ other nations exist to bump you up and down the rankings. Sometimes there is an influx of new nations, and at other times there is an influx of CTEing.

That's small change. I once banned computers entirely by accident.

It takes the implemented password off the region, which in this case means that whoever gains control over the region (which has been the focus of some gameplay events the last few days) can't implement a password and freeze people out until the liberation is repealed.

As far as I know, only delegates can endorse proposals. Thus, the majority here cannot do so. I also think nobody is likely to, seeing as it looks like a joke proposal.

If you ever want some reasoning, you can ask for it here or in floor-5 of the discord server, and someone'll be like "Oh yeah Emily's dumb, she should have voted this way instead."

Notice:

The Refugia regional map has been updated once again. I'm pleased to announce the new additions of Valdonland, Fuernox, and Inaros Opa who now have new spaces carved out. This takes the regional map to a staggering 46 nations. That 46 takes into consideration The Sample Chef Community, who was removed for CTEing a couple months ago, which is very sad. But the good news is that this means three new islands have opened up for habitation.

Other changes:

Tovenia has also expanded to half the remaining free space on their mutual island with Araine.

Everetunga-Hari has also enlarged to touch the sea and ocean.

Aephony's Y has been made visible once again.

We've also added two new zones to the agreement, the first being the Chacapoyan Airspace Sovereignty Accords, as well as the The Araito Treaty. And the details on both of those can be seen in the newly updated map dispatch, check it out!
