Chocolate all the way. But both are really good. Especially in banana splits. Lately, however, I've been having mango ice cream (not sorbet) lately and it's REALLY good

Apparently they stopped using it after some guy put ads denouncing them for using beef tallow after he suffered a heart attack.

If you don't live in the US it could be different--they might still use beef tallow in their recipes in other countries.

Either option works on NS, as long as you focus on it. Socialism is a little slower, but most of our strongest economies in the region are socialist governments, to the point where a new capitalist government would have a difficult time catching up. But we have people who play capitalist nations just fine.

Now if you're meaning irl politics, yeah you might be in an ideological minority if you idolise the robber barons lol

They won't know their mind is being read, so if I think "I want beans on toast for tea tonight" you'll hear that, but I won't know unless you think something like "ew, Cat likes beans, how disgusting" or "I think Cat is wonderful now I know they like beans on toast". If you just heard it and thought "interesting" I would never know.

My guess is Compliance, just going by the image of the rabbit on the badge. If so, that's a fun and somewhat tricksy stat to pursue. You've gotta be a bit, well, tough on your citizens, at times, to really pull it up.

Venland wrote:nationstates needs to fix some of its stats that make no sense like negative pizza production

After looking over some of the descriptions of the stats, it seems less like some direct value (for instance, rate of pizza production) but instead some arbitrary measurement unit (such as overall pizza-ness of a nation)

As a direct example, the pizza unit in the stats is Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index, and because of its arbitrarity (is that a word?) it does not directly translate to pizza.

Which stats are really strange are the ones that directly translate, such as basically any statistic that has "per hour" or does not have anything like "units" or "scale" in it's name.

At least that's what I've found.

I recall some discussion on the RMB about socialist versus capitalist economies in NS, and I decided to compile the economic stats of the top 50 most efficient economies in Refugia and divide them between those with capitalist and socialist policies.

In total, 27 of the top economies in Refugia were capitalist, while 23 were socialist.

The average capitalist economy had a score of 99.51, while the average socialist economy had a score of 99.8.

The top 2 strongest economies in Refugia were both capitalist, with a score of 101.4 and 101.16, respectively. The strongest socialist economy had a score of 100.86.

I'm sure a better representation of capitalist versus socialist economies in NS would be to calculate the averages of all nations in Refugia, or even better--all of NationStates, but I'm not the person in this region to do that, lol

That is kinda why I am pursuing the compliance stat, but that's not the Floofyness stat! The Floofyness stat is kinda like the opposite of nudity. Everytime the nudity stat goes up, the Floofyness stat goes down, and vice versa. I was inspired to have it be like that when, I think it was Emily, (it's a while ago or else I would quote it) said that having the lowest nudity was technically the floofiest and I've been working to keep it low ever since

Socialist does not always mean a complete state controlled economy. A democratic socialist usually describes a more moderate socialist. Since I'm American, and I'm familiar with American politicians, I'll use this guy as an example.

Bernie Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, but he does not advocate for complete control of the economy and industry by the state

Greetings from The East Pacific, friends! Delegate Aivintis is now halfway through their term, and has brought with them a new Executive branch report. Check it out to see all TEP's been up to in the last month! Or don't. It's mostly not very interesting. We did rule our constitution illegal and then dissolve our government and then rule the ruling illegal and re-form the government, but that's not in the report.

In my opinion, the resolution reads well. Infact it's one of those rare cases where I feel the commend underrepresents the nominee, solely because of its character limitations. Europeia is a truly impressive region, all things considered. I'm glad it's getting a better commend.

My only substantial complaint is that the author is a citizen of Europeia. The thing that stops me from voting against, though, is that the author hasn't really done much in Europeia and their citizenship there is more to have an OOC connection to the community AFAIK. I mean, it still rubs me the wrong way, but it's not enough for me to vote against on the principle of being against self-C/Cs.

So overall, I recommend voting FOR it! Although I am also curious about what opinions others may have :o

Federal Republic of West Remeshile

Jointly Issued by the Department of Internal Affairs and External Relations

Today the General Assembly passed a spending package dedicated to the renovation of the national park system. The package includes funds for the more robust development of cabins, hiking trails, and camping spaces. The government of West Remeshile is dedicated to fiercely opposing the oil and gas industry, who tried to lobby the government to tear down national parks for materials. The Lush forests of West Remeshile will be preserved, and the government will be taking extra steps to safeguard our natural water and land sources.

West Remeshile will always act to protect the environment, as we believe that environmental justice correlates with equal justice and treatment of all.

It's so nice to have you all here! 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 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 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

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.

The thing that stops me from voting against, though, is that the author hasn't really done much in Europeia and their citizenship there is more to have an OOC connection to the community AFAIK. I mean, it still rubs me the wrong way, but it's not enough for me to vote against on the principle of being against self-C/Cs.

So overall, I recommend voting FOR it! Although I am also curious about what opinions others may have :o

Federal Republic of West Remeshile

Issued by Chief Diplomat of the Department of External Relations

The Republic of West Remeshile sees no reason to oppose the resolution "Commend Europeia." We have made this stance clear in our vote noted in the Security Council. We recognize the accomplishments of Europeia, and see this as an opportunity to improve regional relations. West Remeshile will always be open to recognizing the accomplishments of other regions, and recognizing that all states should be dedicated to peace between nations, states, and regions.

And your military is armed with rocks and sharp rocks to throw and poke your gun wielding enemies.

Snapped myself up to 26k and 73rd place for pizza. 30k and top 50 here I come!

I am saddened to say that I have unintentionally angered my Minister of Pressed Cheeses, and my cheese exports have fell to -7.16.

I've tried a ketchup pizza once, so I'd have to go with the mustard this time

Ketchup definitely seems like the less gross option. IÂ’ve had ketchup on other weird stuff like mac and cheese and eggs (although not by choice) and I like tomatoes so it probably wouldnÂ’t be too bad. A bit strange though.
