You can also die from hypothermia or hyperthermia depending on the temperature. It’s a big problem here during winter and during heat waves because we have a large homeless population.

I’m a fan. As a (mediocre) rock climber, I have to admire their climbing skills. A town I used to live in kept a herd of goats to eat the surrounding brush and prevent wildfires. Our area was evacuated multiple times but the goat firebreak saved us. It was also pretty entertaining to watch and feed them.

I can't tell if I lower my wealth gap ratio by moving up or down

Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Araine, Floofybit, Portmanteau, Porthosia, Jazur, Winlandy, Geoffistan

On the current GA resolution, I think it would also help if it specifically prevented nations from putting people on a sex offender registry solely for their sexuality. While it in no way specifically allows this, it does not specifically disallow it. For instance, if a teacher is gay, and since they are in a position in trust, does this leave room for the teacher to be put on the registry because according to a nation's laws the teacher has violated the part about "any sexual 'offence' involving abuse of a position of trust"?

You would lower your wealth gap ratio by decreasing that stat. So, the smaller the number in your wealth gaps stat, the less wealth inequality in your nation.

They probably didn't have @@DenonymAdjective@@ when older issues came out so they used this by default and haven't fixed them yet. But that is annoying. If every nation used -ian, @@DenonymAdjective@@ wouldn't exist.

There is a small (?) next to the demonym custom category, which will reveal more options to change the plural and adjective version of the demonym. That should do the trick.

The Pacific Northwest wrote:Aephony I just realized I don’t even know how to pronounce your nation, is the ae pronounced like it is in aeroplane or anaemia?

It's as Aeroplane, "Ae" in general which I use a lot in my factbooks and basically everything Aephony-related was supposed to be an "Æ/æ", but when I realized I can't use "æ" in the name and other important things, I just ditched "æ" and went with "Ae".

Also "æ" is basically pronounced as "a sound between a and e (/æ/)", but also sometimes used as "Ash" for some reason.

✨On another note✨

I still can't believe Elon Musk had the urge to name his newborn son "X Æ A-Xii", just sounds ridiculous and bully-worthy, the kid isn't going to have a normal life anyways so why make it more harder? He said the "Æ" would be pronounced as "Ash" but then why don't you just name them "Ash" instead of adding a bank security code with roman numerals?

I agree with it in concept, but I did notice only some of the regions mentioned were linked, which seems weird because I think all regions are usually linked on their first mention, but I haven’t looked up the character limit so maybe it was because of that.

There are also a couple grammatical mistakes. I don’t know if that’s a big enough deal, but it seems weird to have something on the books with noticeable errors like that.

Discussion post on "Condemn Elysium Station II" deploying onto surface. Landing coordinates for package including thread information being transmitted here for all receiving units.

"Condemn Elysium Station II" starts off by introducing Elysium Station II (ESII) as a prolific raider serving under multiple raider regions. The first region ESII served in was Lone Wolves United, wherein ESII would rise to the rank of Il-Khan whilst assisting in a variety of raider operations by ejecting defender nations and pushing LWU to undertake griefing measures. ESII would later be promoted to Khan and take a pivotal role in keeping LWU active whilst training future raiders. ESII would also join the raider organization known as HYDRA Command in 2016, rising to the rank of General whilst carrying out destructive operations under Hydra's banner. The 2017 coup of Lazarus and the attempted 2019 coup of The East Pacific would also see ESII assisting in the timing of ejections to ensure the takeovers' success. After the attempted coup of The East Pacific, ESII would disappear until 2022 wherein they would play a role in the major raider operation to destroy A Liberal Haven.

In my opinion, I think the resolution is pretty solid. The long history of assisting with a variety of notable operations and propping up two separate raider organizations definitely makes ESII condemnable, even if the resolution tends to take a less detail-oriented stance compared to regular R/D C/Cs. The thing I do particularly like about this resolution, though, is the way the narrative ramps up from ESII assisting in (presumably) less intense raider operations to pushing griefer operations to GCR coups, before winding down to ESII helping train future raiders before finishing off with a sudden return in 2022. It's a unique narrative structure focused on the nominee's development of skill, one I haven't really seen for an R/D C/C before. I also heavily love the usage of tone throughout the resolution to hone in how "evil" ESII is - tone is always a great thing for resolutions to have, IMO.

For those reasons, I recommend voting FOR "Condemn Elysium Station II" - great arguments for a condemn and excellent narration to tie it in.

Command out. Next package re-supply will be tomorrow.

Just as a point of clarification - condemns tend to be awards for playing the evil-doer, not actually shaming a nation for their evil deeds.

I just checked using a character counter site and played around a little, I do think if all the regions were linked it'd be over the character limit, which is probably why the authors decided to just avoid that.

On the grammatical mistakes, personally I didn't notice anything bad but if there are some, depends on each person I'd say. Personally I don't mind a few mistakes (even a large horde of people giving feedback cannot guarantee the author will fix/prevent all mistakes), so it isn't a game-changer for me.

Great to know. I'm still new to the whole concept of WA resolutions, and wasn't sure if this was actual shaming of a player nation, or just a role-play condemnation as a form of award for good "evil-doer role-play" I suppose?.

Any opinions on "The Commission On Sentient And Sapient Rights"?

Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho

I feel that it's biting off more than it can chew - any bill that has to satisfactorily define Sentient vs Sapient beings is going to struggle.

Appears to recognize cybernetic life, ban murder/execution and torture, as well recreational hunting and abuse of animals (/robots?). Could have been clearer or used separate proposals.

It does also appear to make it illegal to squash ants or blow up simple robots for entertainment.

Istastioner wrote:Any opinions on "The Commission On Sentient And Sapient Rights"?

Personally, I'm annoyed that it proports to be in favour of protecting the right to live for living beings, but makes a convenient exception for if people feel like eating an animal (killing endangered sharks for shark fins) or using its parts for products (like that lovely ivory from elephant tusks). Not to mention it allows for the killing of animals in pursuit of science.

If you're going to make a high-minded right to life type resolution, I see zero point if you're going to have a massive list of exceptions. Half the resolution is meaningless definitions and the other half is dismantling the very thing the resolution apparently sets out to do.

I'm always happy to vote against toothless resolutions.

It's so nice to have you all here! There’s a lot of great information in the welcome telegram you’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 from time to time. 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 and endorsing the delegate (that's me!). 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 as many other nations in the region as you want, 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 we’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

Finally, if you are an alt nation (which just means if the nation tagged in this welcome message is not your main nation on NationStates), it is required by regional law for you to report your main nation and intentions in Refugia to the Operations Councillor (that's also me!). Thanks so much.

I’m against. It would make killing mosquitos a violation of international law because of the overly broad definition of sentient life.

Speaking of mosquitos I was also just thinking about parasitic infections. If you have tapeworms or something and aren’t technically dying yet, would seeking treatment be a violation? Do you have to wait until it’s causing noticeable grievous bodily harm, or does minor discomfort suffice? Tapeworms do fit the definition of sentient life if I’m reading the proposal right, so presumably they shouldn’t be deprived of life unnecessarily. Therefore I could argue that if the host is not yet suffering in any measurable capacity they should be denied treatment.

Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta

Never say that I'm never on time late! In this case, a day late! But nonetheless, discussion post on the quick new GA proposal The Commission On Sentient And Sapient Rights! Thread here!

To give a quick summary, the proposal starts off by defining a variety of terms including sentient being (anything with a central nervous system that feels sensation and intentionally moves) and sapient being (a sentient being with the ability to engage in metacognition). The Subcommittee for Ethical Animal Sources (SEAS) is created and tasked to regulate a lot of exemptions to the subsequent rights the resolution establishes. The proposal then starts listing rights for sentient beings as follows:

[list][*]The right to not be killed (unless its to be harvested for commodities, scientific discovery, in self-defense from another life, in defense of properties, or euthanasia)

[*]The right to be free from pain (unless its to save said being's life)

[*]The right to having their needs met in captivity[/list]

The proposal then gives all sapient beings the rights of sentient beings - but it establishes a separate variant of the right to not be killed, this one with less exemptions (exemptions being euthanasia, self-defense, or other reason established by GA resolutions).

In my opinion, I am heavily against this proposal, no questions asked, primarily for the reasons Sylh Alanor gave. The resolution is extensively toothless, and doesn't really accomplish much meaningful besides banning pleasure hunting - which is great but that can be done in its own more fleshed out resolution. The fact this resolution also allows for killing of any sentient being for any form of commodity (so long as there is demand) or scientific discovery is highly concerning.

Thereby, I recommend voting AGAINST "The Commission On Sentient And Sapient Rights".

The definition is probably too broad indeed, but I'd also argue the resolution's extensive exceptions could probably justify killing a mosquito in most cases, and most insects xD - 'cuz I feel in most cases we kill insects because otherwise they pose a danger to us. And in times they really don't -like if it's one cockroach- I feel like there are ways to get the bugger outside without killing it.

So yeah the definition is so overly broad there are probably other ways it causes issues, but arguably when it comes to insects it isn't as problematic as it'd seem at first glance - I think, at least.

I mean, I'm still against cause the extremely broad exceptions are dumb, but thought I might raise this point and see whatchu think (and see if I'm going awry in my thinking on this point, somewhere).

Tiralta doesn't have any official languages. When I joined NationStates I was thinking that everything would be based off Irish language and culture, but the longer I've spent playing this game, the more I feel like it's got its own identity in my mind but I still haven't thought much about languages.

Maybe it's time to think about one for official government use, though.

I'd love to hear more about why you chose the languages you did for your nation (or why you don't have any) so feel free to share here on the rmb ^^

Rejakhta doesn't have any official languages either, but more because we're still undecided.

I chose dem because these reason

English: do I have to explain why

Spanish: catchy and it's popular too

Latin: old like a wise guy and also because Bruhik/Bruhyan Latin exists for this country

My nation doesn’t have an official language, but English is the de facto language and Spanish is also widely spoken due to having a large number of immigrants (and their descendants) from Spanish speaking countries, just like it is in real life.

It's probably only one language, English, but I've been trying to incorporate English into a Floofybit alphabet but all of them kind of suck.

Anyways, what is your opinion on watermelon juice?

In my imagination, Elvhen is spoken as the primary language both in government and daily. English was adopted when Sylh Alanor was established, because it reformed with the goal of interacting with the rest of Refugia and pay back into the community what it had received.

Irish, if I'm entirely honest, is on there because I use it to fill gaps where the elvish conlang wasn't complete xD (an'eth'ara *na* lethal'len comes to mind).

I like the freshly made watermelon juice that I can buy at the Asian supermarket in town but not the stuff that's sold in cartons in the supermarket near me. How do you feel about watermelon juice?

We have no "official" languages, in the sense that there would be laws enforcing their use. But the two primary ones would be French, an artifact of their colonial heritage, and the local Polynesian language spoken across the archipelago, known as Manteauan. But I imagine there also exists some sort of pidgin trade language, especially among the dock hands and merchants, which arose from among the many cultures arriving in the port. I'm rubbish at language creation, though, so I haven't put any work into that at all.

My opinion is very high. Watermelons are so juicy, almost no work is needed to obtain it. If I had any complaint, at all, it would be that it's nearly too sweet.

I used to frequent a Mexican cafe that kept fresh-made watermelon juice "on tap". One of the many "aguas frescas" they had on offer, if you're familiar with those. Do I ever miss that luxury...

English, Spanish and French. The last two are hardly used though.

I chose them because they are the ones I can speak IRL, so why not :)
