It looks like I'm the 569th most eco-friendly nation in the world. Considering there are 294,478 countries, it's not so bad.

The current list is below, if anyone wants to sign up you can either tell me on the RMB or shoot me a telegram for it and I'll add you to the list.

[spoiler=:3]I sat next to the waters, waving rhythmically against the stoney shore. The sun rose high in the sky, casting everything in a beautiful orange glow, contrasting the vast greenery around me. I basked in its heat, enjoying every last drop while I could before it disappeared into the horizon. The trees swayed with the whistling wind, and the birds chirped melodies to it in response. One landed in the waters ahead, causing a splash that rippled into the lake.

However, it quickly flew away at the sound of noisy footsteps which were getting louder and louder. Laughter came with, and two young kids ran into view. One pushed the other into the water, splashing everywhere, which got me soaked. They played in the water for hours, pretending to be swamp monsters, catching the flaming orange phoenix catfish, and just generally having fun. To my surprise, one picked me up and threw me across the lake. I bounced and bounced, making it to about the centre before I sank deep down into the blue-green waters. As day turned to afternoon, they skipped so many stones across the water that I wasn't sure there would be any left on the shore. Luckily a dinner bell had sounded, and they scampered off home.

The fish around me finally came out of hiding, once again filling the waters with what I can only describe as a sort of chaotic highway of sea creatures. Beautiful blues and glinting green scales swam past, never ceasing their movement throughout the waves. Jellyfish floated around me, stinging anything in its path. A cluster of cats attempted to swat at a giant isopod crawling through the waters. A giant isopod? What? Oh, nevermind, that wasn't important.

I could no longer bask under the sun, and reasonably, I was quite upset by this. I missed the days when I was human. When I would splash through the waters, and be called by the sound of a bell. When I could whistle like a bird, swaying through the forest with the trees. Those were the days. The days before I was cursed to be just a stone. I'll admit, I might have deserved it a bit. I spent my time sneaking throughout the bustling streets of Hjuin, stealing Oleri out of the pockets of passersby, always finding the trickiest ways to evade their vision: Pretending to accidentally bump into them so their wallets fell, or swapping them out with items of similar weight, Indiana Jones style. It wasn't the most decent way to make a living, but it was mine.

That was until I met this odd wizard. I had gone about the day, stealing Oleri from people, when I saw someone with their back turned in a dark foreboding alleyway. It had looked a bit odd, but I didn't think much of it. Looking back, I really should have. I went about my old shtick of swapping things, but they caught me! There was this bewildered, insane look on their face. I could never forget it. The bags under their eyes were deep, but not as deep as the pits that were the eyes themselves. They hunched over a paper, with a hastily scrawled list on it. It contained names of neighboring nations, along with corresponding animals.

I swore I heard them mutter "animals for the roleplay... animals for the roleplay!", but before I could even process what was happening, they pointed a twisted wooden wand at me, and I was turned into a stone!

They started yelling. "Nobody messes with Doje Kryqu Rykan Wystwnlyq III! Nobody! No cat, no bird, no anglerfish, jellyfish, isopod, and especially no stone! You will never get me. Never!!!!!", they laughed maniacally, and stored me in their pocket before running off.

I was pulled, bounced, and jangled around in their pocket as they sped away. I had no clue what was going on, nor where we were going. It was not until what seemed like hours later that I was finally taken out, and tossed next to a lake. The wizard once again sped away, never to be seen again, at least not be me anyhow.

And that's where I am now. Sunken at the bottom of the lake, surrounded by odd creatures, alone. Afternoon turned to night, and the cicadas screeched in the trees, replacing the singing of the birds. I was sulking in my spot, when I noticed a flashing light above me. Then another, and another, until the whole sky was filled with them. Fireflies! They danced above the waters, and although they were a bit blurry, I could still tell what they were. They looked like blinking stars, scattering the night sky. Honestly, it was beautiful, and I couldn't stay upset for long with the sight above me.

Maybe being a stone was alright? The view was wonderful, and I just couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted to stay here forever. Why not make the best of a bad situation? I settled into my spot, and continued watching everything around me. The ever moving environment could never bore me. I came to terms with with what I had been given, knowing what had happened had happened, whether I liked it or not. No bell nor sun ray could surpass this feeling. It could barely even match it. I knew then in my heart, what I truly had ever wanted, was to be a stone.

ok basically could I be a stone :3 [/spoiler]

uh... well uh... that's... I mean, uh...

I could turn you into like... a rock elemental maybe? some sort of dragon-esque rock elemental? like maybe you could in some way become a stone for a little bit just to sorta chill, just like relax in front of some scenic spots but... like...

I mean if you're [I]sure[/I] you wanna be a rock permanently or in a fixed timeframe, then I could maybe see about doing it, but if you might have doubts about this, at any time, and want to change back, it'd be just about impossible unless you submitted to Her Lunar Erminess's hivemind established some sort of link with Her Erminess.

Don't take this that I think it's weird, it's definitely an absolute mood, it's just... I'm not really super comfortable doing something that drastic without some sort of... what's the word... like a failsafe? eh... close enough I guess, without some sort of failsafe or backup system. If you really want to, though, I'll put you on the list as a rock and you'll turn on Monday.

[spoiler=ooc]also, great desc. might put the weird chaotic neutral wizard as Atten because him being just a BNN newsboy is not enough, he needs to have meds to be off of every so often.

yk its funny because I roleplay as Ban Oldern, the country, and then I kinda adopted a character for the RMB that's a lil more goofy silly than I am, he turned into a mad scientist cuz I got bored, then I had a separate guy to separate Discord from the RMB and now he's becoming a character of his own...

how deep does the rabbit hole of character creation to excuse slightly different actions in different places go? are the forums next? actually, better question, is JRD (the character not my discord account) the fursona I said I haven't had for a good year now? did I finally graduate from entry-level furry? and what does JRD do for a living, exactly? is he the ambassador to Refugia? a magician? maybe he's some sort of wizard who works at like some Banoldi government agency? so many questions. so few answers.

I must characterbuild. It is inevitable. I must —

wait, am I[/I] a character now?

lil bit of a list update here. have to say, I did not expect people to get excited about this so fast. I mean, only 12 hrs in and we've got 5. actually, make that 6 I guess, because I decided to take a look back at where this all began 150-or-so RMB pages ago and found an edit that I never followed through with. sorry 'bout that, Voinarx. wait, nevermind 7, because I never added Heinfield. actually, 8, because Sempera requested a bengal cat (I think?). (not taking into account Penocamptt, who is now unfortunately CTE'd, or the thing where I accidentally dropped Portmanteau from the list by using a too-early version of the list because they signed up again as a water buffalo. sorry bout that) also, The Blue Fire will request to change to a gray cat in approximately 2-3 minutes, so might as well add that here

Hi there and welcome to Refugia: now with 173% more shadow council! I'm A Million Dreams, your friendly local Councilor of Operations! You should have already gotten a welcome telegram with a general overview of what happens here, but here's some specific tips to make your experience here extra cool.

[list][*]Hate spam email just as much as the rest of us? Tired of those "copy this and send it to eight people OR YOU DIE TOMORROW BAHAHAHAHAHA I'M A DEMON I HAVE YOUR SOUL" messages? Cool, me too. Go take a look at your telegram preferences and select “Block All” for Recruitment. It'll save your energy from having to be spent on tickboxing and deleting each recruitment message as they come in.

[*]If you haven’t already, please consider signing up for the World Assembly! If you do, you’ll become a Member State in a week, which will get you access to all sorts of perks like getting a spot on our regional map, being able to vote (and run!) for the regional Council, and the ability to be known forever* as a member of Refugia**. You’ll also be able to easily endorse other people (please do!) in the region through our regional tool Tart, found at https://tart.calref.ca/

[*]Finally, if you have any other questions, come check out our Discord server ( https://discord.gg/Rt6uGMsNpr ), where there are a lot of friendly people who will help you find all of the fun things to do on NationStates. Please note that by joining, you are contractually bound to follow the decree of the shadow council, whoever they are, no matter the time. They will come for you. You have been warned.

[/list]

If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask***!

* forever may be up to the end of time as we know it, the heat death of the universe, or the ceasing-to-exist of your nation whereupon your passage is duly noted and observed, only for us to later go "hey isn't that nation that one guy who was here like two years ago" if you ever show back up again

** in four hundred and eight nations as of the time of writing

*** but not about the shadow council. they do not appreciate people asking questions about them. nobody knows where georg has been for the last seventeen years.

1)epic.

2)the original thing was we were gonna sacrifice Tiralta in order to stop the zombie apocalypse, someone brought up Chacapoya as being quoted in it, we were gonna have a battle over Chacapoya's fate but then Tiralta got sick and said something about turning into a zombie, so then I went ahead and asked what animal she would want to be with the intent of disallowing the sacrifice, but then like 6 other people responded and it became this whole thing (using the nation names here so as to not confuse anyone who isn't on the discord)

I fell asleep right after reading some of these posts about the not wereanimals and had a dream about the leader of my nation being a talking cat in a pantsuit, making grandiose speeches and answering every random issue brought to her.

Who puts the suit on the cat? Does she hire people to dress her every day? Does she sleep in it? I guess we’ll never know.

The worst part is, there are progressive capitalist regions here, but any region that aggressively describes itself as capitalist won't be progressive. That's rule #1 of politics.

Like the Disco Elysium joke goes, everyone is a liberal except for those that call themselves liberals - those are fascists.

Don't expect a lot of issues focused around the environment. However, there are plenty of issues that moderately effect your environmental stats even though they have nothing to do with the matter.

so second update of the list and we've got 2 additions to the list. Debating whether or not I should add myself to the list just to have a complete(-ish) tally but I've decided that any decision I make will be acted upon at some later date. i.e., tomorrow.

Anyway, we don't have a [I]List of Incompetences[/I] for me to go through this time around so im just gonna have fun facts on here

Fun Refugi Fact: When this was first a thing, there was a short time where the number of cats (on this list) was equal to the number of humans. Since then, however, humans have regained a majority of council positions, albeit a slim majority. If we count wards, however, December of last year was [I]instead[/I] a three-way tie between humans, cats, and birds, and no species or type of species has a majority today.

The list is below. As long as you get your request in before the next list, you will be good for this upcoming transformation period. If you miss it, you'll have to wait around a week longer.

The Blue Fire: gray cat (currently: orange)

Alright, can do.

Also, since the Redwall books are (at least in my interpretation of the books) folk tales, I'd have to say that you shouldn't focus on reading them in order chronologically, especially since the books don't connect to each other in time and don't typically make many allusions to previous books in the timeline. Frankly, I'd say read them in whatever order you grab them off the shelf, but if you want a set order I would lean towards order of publication.

Hi! Welcome to Refugia :>

In the top you'll notice the issues tab. Every few hours you'll get an issue, and depending on how you answer it will affect your nation!

On the left bar there's a World Assembly. The world assembly makes resolutions and bills that everyone gets to vote on, so I'd recommend joining that. If you do, you can give people endorsements, which are like little points you can give to other nations in your region! (A region being Refugia, and a nation being Lormonia) You can use tart.calref.ca to help endorse everyone here, and you'll get endorsements back!

You can talk in the RMB (where we are now), as we have a very active and kind community. Sometimes we have regional events, like endorsement competitions, eco competitions, and more!

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask :>

Sounds like something someone who knows the Shadow Council exists would say.

Besides, the existence of a Shadow Council implies the existence of the Light Council.

Ok, 1), the Shadow Council is just an explanation by lazy journalists on the seemingly erratic nature of some policy decisions (basically the dark energy of Refugia), and we don't know if it exists or not.

2), there [I]is[/I] a light council, though. It's a collection of like 5 electricians who go around working together to put in light bulbs. so, logically, the "shadow council" is a group of harmless little kobolds who run around stealing light bulbs. crisis averted.

yeah, that's definitely it.

no... no secrets here

definitely.

Agreed with Ban Oldern. If you happen to have one of the books on hand, there's no harm at all in just reading the one you've got. You wont be lost or anything, and each works as a standalone story. But publication order is probably best, if you're concerned. I was glad to have read them that way.

In general, I usually favor reading series that way. I know there's folks who swear by alternate orders, rearranging things chronologically or thematically to optimize the experience. But I always think it's nice to just take in the works as the author created them.
