Awesome, but I don't think Araine has a card!

*Checks*

Yup, you have Typica, not Araine.

Also, unrelated, but is S3 ever coming out?

Season 3 is a myth, a bedtime feel-good story that people tell to their children to make them go to sleep.

On a much more serious note, yes. It's been confirmed to be in development, although there is no fixed date for its release yet.

Hallelujah! Another based poll!

I welcome all the sand, unto my hand; come forth for this concrete land!

based poll

Perfect! Gotta get your economy up somehow...

Hi! Things are going pretty well for me, had a nice breakfast earlier and plenty of good coffee. How are you?

The General Assembly, one half of the GA, affects stats when legislation passes based on the category of that legislation. Repeals revert half of the changes back. Votes in the Security Council won't affect your nation, but they can affect other nations or regions, if the legislation is to commend or condemn someone. The most impactful thing in the region, World Assembly-wise, is endorsing the delegate. The delegate is a bit unique in that they get a vote equal to the amount of endorsements they have +1. So if you vote for something, and endorse the delegate, it's like getting two votes. You're already doing this, so thank you very much :D

If you ever want to chat about something that's up at vote, totally feel free to bring it up as well. We can have a pretty good estimation of what the stat changes will be, and explain some of the goals of the legislation if they're not clear.

One thing that has always bothered me about my nation's description:

"The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment." Literally, by definition my nation is not liberal, as it is a state-planned economy and one aspect of liberalism is a free market economy.

True, there’s liberal as in “free” and liberal as in the leftist beliefs

yo dudes

'Liberal' may be one of the most misused words of the English dictionary.

You can tell that NS was made from a very American point of view. Not only the fact that liberal is used to describe left-wing ideologies, but also the fact many answers to issues that could be described as "basic safeties and social welfare" lower Civil Rights.

._.

The telegram is for when i meet the terms. i sent it not too long ago to Sylh Alanor.

The fact that allowing nazi sympathisers pretty much automatically increases civil rights and political freedoms just because of freedom of speech shows this. Freedom of speech does not mean people should be allowed to cheer for mass genocide

But what about muh freeze peach?! Paradox of tolerance who?

That issue aside, some other issues I generally do not like are "We have reached X amount of inhabitants! What should we do? I know! Let's screw up the economy we worked so hard to maintain!" and the all-time classical "Since we are a socialist system, let's have even MORE issues on why we should abolish it!"

Welcome Parynome, Ampelsand, Andelasia, Greenessex, Nation Of Duclips, Aquafrost, No-Nonsense Harpoonists, Red Country, Furk, Felagsfradi, Ibicia, Theogo, Belovic, Germakia, Greater Eastoshinesia, Napadia, and Of Conosur, to Refugia!

WeÂ’re so happy to have you in the region with us! ThereÂ’s a lot of great information in the welcome telegram youÂ’ve already received, but I have a few things that might help settling into the region easier. 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. Links for both are in the region description box at the top of this page. 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 want a place to just chill and talk to friendly people, those are great spaces for that.

If you haven't already done so, please consider joining the World Assembly! Click the link to learn more information on what that means and how to do it. If you join the World Assembly, 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- I think weÂ’ve only ever had one fatality from an introduction. If you prefer to read something pre-written over asking, however, check out this dispatch: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1449847

Finger Licking Toe Sucking Walruses :geh:

me when civil rights go up by 1%

well I accidentally started breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores

blessed timeline?

Hi everyone! Would recommend voting for this Security Council resolution here, if you can ^_^

It's a Security Council resolution to commend Karputsk, who is a well-known historical defender. He's part of the gameplay side of Nationstates.

The resolution was written by Dacay, our Councillor of World Assembly Affairs, so it's a resolution written by a Refugi :D

I must appluad the writers of this SC resolution. It has perfect grammar and spelling, is beautifally written and sounds convincing. I voted "for" even before nolticing who wrote it. Kudos.

Your freedom ends where it unproportionally encroaches on my rights to live free of fear, intimidation and hatred, just because I was born to parents of color or chose to embrace the Jewish religion, to cite two examples of why Nazism should not be tolerated.

But... did you bring an & ?

Thanks for the clarification, and good luck with your studies etc. May February prove less stressful.

For Reasons

Hello everyone! I was at a holiday and wasn't active. I'm back now!

Welcome!!

can someone recommend me some RP forums in NS?

I have quite a few legislations I need to get rid of ASAPÂ… Sometimes I misunderstand the optionÂ’s main point.

Nu, subite kaj nevole, Berlando nun estas kapitalisma... ve! Sed almenaŭ, nia ekonomio pliboniĝis, kvankam ni reiĝos socialisma je la unua ŝanco. Malgraŭ estus bonege havi anarĥo-komunismom tie ĉi.

Nian plej profundan kondolencon, ke via nacio adoptis kapitalismon. Ni esperas, ke vi povas trovi rapidan kaj efikan revenon al la superaj ekonomiaj politikoj ofertitaj de socialismo.

Normally, you get one issue on your nation every six hours. If you feel this is too frequent or annoying, you can adjust the issue rate to only receive an issue every 12, 24, or 48 hours instead.

This of course means fewer opportunities to change policies and build stats, if you're into that sort of thing.

thanks, man!

Also welcome back Bellerre!

Orders a large fry, gooey cheesy and salty, with a tremendous waft of fresh ocean air.

wait

is this going to lead what i think its going to lead to...?

imperve suggests moulk2 to cease and desist before the 2nd Fruit War is started

uwu

>:c

thankies uwu

i can supply the cheese for your order!

I shall order three trillion dollar's worth please!

Cheddar is obviously better than mozzarella

sends the cheese in large crates

we can share our cheese with everyone >:D

mozzarella for sure - always awesome

*Sips tea and watches the show*

I am a mozzarella man

No! Mozzarella for the win! (And then closely behind is provolone, colby jack, and sitting back in 4th is Cheddar)

Good proposals take time to develop. Generally weeks or occasionally months of drafting as well. There's not much of anything in terms of quality that can be achieved in two short days where you seem to deflect feedback and critique.

What is the problem that you feel this resolution is necessary to correct?

Untreated to the above, but too exciting to ignore the double post convention:

I just pulled my first pack of season one cards and it's a real doozer! My MV shot up due to two single cards! I literally gasped in joy and shock.

These are the cards in question: https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/card=480976/season=1 & https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/card=473884/season=1

This is just an exciting find!

lack of lsd legislation.

I would personally disagree with this. I don't think its right to condemn someone to a painful and prolonged death simply because of cultural mores. By that logic, shouldn't all medical legislation be lifted, lest they conflict with a society's beliefs? Would it be right for my country to no longer mandate doctors washing their hands out of a sincerely held religious belief that dirty hands are better at healing? It's a more absurd practice than that of banning euthanasia, granted, but both have the same result: unnecessary suffering in order to appease unscientific belief.

I'm voting for the legislation, though I think it has some flaws. I'm not a fan of the opt-out clause, as I think that if you are uncomfortable to the point of refusal to do an aspect of your job, you should look at a change of careers rather than forcing someone to find a new medical provider.

There hasn't ever been a map wipe. The one that we're using is the same one that we started with. I've removed nations who have long CTE'd and some areas have had a few different nations on it, but if someone's nation is still alive and around, then they stay put.

There are also a few nations on the map who are long gone, but were very influential in our history, like �thidil who created our original eco goals and formed our embassy with New West Indies.
