Hey, welcome to Refugia.

We're slowly developing the region when we have time to do it, so there aren't many official operations right now. But because of the community tie-in, there isn't a mechanism by which I would be replaced as arch-admin right now unless I resigned.

Is there something you were interested in doing?

Welcome Sreta <3

hello! I'm Subadent from Conifer!

Floofybit, Laisou

The regional charter, which outlines how we would like to be within this region, has been established and pinned to the World Factbook. If you were not a part of the drafting and approval process of this item, please take a tiny moment to gaze upon it with your human eyeballs or screen readers.

Thank

Merzbach

Congrats to you guys finally getting your charter!

Refuge Isle, Tslonia, Laisou

It took long enough :p

But we've had so much going on lately, things are just getting back into a normal rhythm.

Notice: Sylh Alanor has replaced Tslonia as the Transit and Foreign minister.

I've pinned a NationStates guide juat below the WFE. It contains information about basic aspects of gameplay for anyone who needs it or would like to learn more about the game.

Thank you, Ortharion. Hopefully, we'll be great friends.

I hope we will be friends, because I have no friends and require sacrifices for the blood god! Soon Big O will rise again, in the body of Calamitous Electorates

I recommend this thread for anyone who is curious about how their democracy score would be assessed by an outside observer. It's also kinda helpful to answer some basic survey questions if you want to put more thought into the RP of your nation.

Also it gets some Refugia presence out there :3

Optional Exercise for the chat, I mean forum, I mean rmb:

Submit one to five companies from your nation. Should include, their abbreviation, their name, and the product they produce or service they provide. Example:

RFGE - Refuge Elements - Industrial chemical producer

CTSW - Citadel Software - Digital intellectual property production

RPMM - REFUGE PARAMILITARY MERCENARIES - EXPORTING ARMED CONFLICT SINCE THE SHADOWVALE INCIDENT

The purpose of these submissions is to build a simulated economic model within the region, with rising and falling stocks and currency etc. Please indicate whether your companies are tied by statistics to your nation, if not, I will simulate fluctuations with internet magic.

Thanks,

Information: The Region's laws have been updated to reflect better laws.

Read about the new constitution and charter here: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=refuge_isle/detail=factbook/id=1200707

The World Factbook Entry will now reflect that the Refugia Revised Statutes (RRS) are what govern this region.

Yay! Refugia number 1

Sylh Alanor

For the next two days, I will be accepting candidates for the Councillor of Foriegn Affairs, whose responsibilities are defined as management and maintenance of the travel portals within the region, foreign affairs and authority over embassies established to outside regions, diplomatic negotiations and foreign correspondence.

As Athidill has been elected in a no contest event, I will now be taking candidates for Councillor of Culture until Sept 9 at the end of the day.

Athidill, Sylh Alanor

I would like to officially declare my candidacy to become Refugia's Councillor of Culture. I believe my experience in the region, and the wider community, makes me the perfect candidate for this position. I believe we can do a lot to promote activity and positivity within the region, and I've already begun working on some of my thoughts. I hope to introduce a Minecraft server for all of Calamity Refuge soon, and have begun outlining an initiative with our new Councillor of Foreign Affair (and outgoing Councillor of Culture) Athidill to create a drive for all members of Refugia to take steps to lower their footprint on the environment. I think if I'm made Councillor of Culture, I can help lead us into a greener, happier place. Thank you for your consideration <3

Ortharion, Refuge Isle, Athidill

I am also going to run for Refugia's Councillor of Culture. I don't have any experience in government, or much time here in Refugia, but I truly enjoyed my time spent here and want to give back to the amazing people I have met. I have many ideas on how we can deepen our culture and identity as Refuge's, such as expanding and filling out a Refugia wiki, creating a inter-national anthem for Refugia, and helping give our region a special something to draw in more beautiful people. I have high hopes for what we can achieve in the future, and with the help of other government members, I will make Refugia even nicer. Thank you for coming to my TED talk!

Athidill, Sylh Alanor

Best of luck Ortharion <33

Ortharion, Athidill

Good luck to both candidates <3

Ortharion, Sylh Alanor

Hi all,

Callie's term has ended. I have received zero applications to ops, so it will now be vacant.

Hi guys, I hope your weekend is going well! I'm hoping to have some fun polls up this upcoming week. Also be on the lookout for an upcoming environmental initiative.

I've put a new poll up asking about dietary preferences toward meat. I've noticed a fair number of people in the chat were vegetarian and was curious to get a number attached.

Narwhal, Refuge Isle

Does fish count as meat? As a narwhal, i can say i have eaten a fair share amount of fish.

P.S. Arctic cod is the best.

Refuge Isle, Athidill, Sylh Alanor

Yeah, fish would count as meat here :p
