St. Leone is somewhere in between the UK and the HRE when it comes to how centralized it is.

While each individual country inside St. Leone are based on different real life nations (environmentally and semi-culturally that is)

My nationstate is based off the words "aina mauna" which means "land of mountain" in Hawaiian. Maunaina has a lot of mountains

We are trying to use green spaces and carbon capture to suck carbon out of the air, I hope we are starting to have a more positive impact on our region's dying environment... The fusion reactor is done being built under the city... we can do this guys, stomp out that co2!

Happy map update day:

A little late but, as previously threatened, we are only removing nations from the map in this update. I know it's gotten a bit crowded over the last six months or so, and we've had a lot of CTEs lately. So, it's our hope that with more spaces freed up for claiming, applications for the rest of January will be a little bit easier. Here's a recap:

Nations removed from the map for ceasing to exist:

[list]

Ameth

Dimm-A-Land

Gerasiad

Getshitdoneistan

Gulp-Gulp

Kuybifox

Parvesha

Porthosia

Remnants Of The Pacific

Siren 1

The Land Named Bob

[/list]

Cultures removed:

[list]

Pacific Islanders (All adherents CTE'd)

Bob (All adherents CTE'd)

[/list]

The Irish culture's ancestral home has now become Prodigal, as they are now the senior-most living practitioner of the traditions. They are now able to control its colour and styling.

See these changes and more at the updated map dispatch, and if you want to play around with the file for your own purposes, you can get the latest save at https://calref.ca/post/ns/map/latest.map

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1287372

We'll be adding new nations in the next update, so now's a good time to apply if you are a Member State.

While ‘Official food’ is a bit far, having rice in every official WESLR diplomatic meeting isn’t actually that far of a stretch. In fact, it’s highly possible that, presently, WESLR does this unintentionally purely because of the many uses of rice. In fact, rice is actually a fairly common grain, and many Asian countries use it in their foods, such as Japan putting rice in sushi. Best of all, having a food that one of the leaders(or at least their child, I feel like that their child occasionally attending would be possible) is just so funny to me.

Waywards Edge wrote:I thought your nation was based off the Cascadian Pacific Northwest (the bioregional independence movement)
It’s kind of like that but I didn’t intentionally base it on any particular movement. I just used the Cascadian flag because it is the Cascadia region after all. The hipster states just decided to team up one day like my motto says.

I haven’t come up with any immediate cause yet, or how it went over so well with the rest of the US and all the people here who are proud to be American and wouldn’t want to secede. But apparently it did in this universe because it didn’t lead to a civil war or anything.

I used to think the independence idea was neat when I was younger but these days I know it wouldn’t work out that well. So this is definitely just meant as a more idealized version of the region than anything else.

That’s as good an answer as any, although it is supposed to be a modern day what if scenario. With the exception of having dinosaurs because I accidentally brought those back early on. So like modern day Oregon and Washington but they decided to get rid of the pesky border in between them and also revive dinosaurs.

Maybe some psychics inexplicably appeared and predicted The Great Ohio Disaster of 2049 and everything breaking and collapsing so the US decided to preemptively break into a few separate countries to avoid total anarchy.

Which seems like it would cause total anarchy for a bit anyways, but the PNW seems to have avoided that.

That’s a misunderstanding, yes the Mayan calendar ended in 2012 (or there about?) but it is a cyclic calendar so after that point it would just start anew/ afresh.

The second thing you don’t seem to understand is, there’s no universal calendar for muslims, no; the calendar depends on if you’re Shia or Sunni, too, amongst other groups. The Shia branch of muslims in Iran use the Solar Hijri calendar whilst many other muslim nations use a lunar year-based calendar.

Then there’s the Zoroastrian calendar, the Buddhist calendars of Japan, China, Thailand, the Hindu-faith based calendars, the Judaist, etc.

I never believed the world was supposed to end in 2012. I was joking about the end of the world thing, and I think everyone else involved was as well, although it has been a little while since that conversation.

The Islamic calendar I was referring to was the one used in the country the friend I mentioned grew up in. It seems to be more widely used than others and is typically just called the Islamic calendar here in the US. I should have said some Islamic countries, that would have been more accurate.

I am aware there are other calendars. I said the only other one I am somewhat familiar with is the Hijri calendar, more specifically the lunar Hijri calendar. I should’ve specified which one given we were talking about calendars. I didn’t mention any others like ones used in Buddhism or Hinduism because I’m not at all familiar with them, and someone else had already mentioned a few if I’m remembering correctly.

I don’t think any can predict an apocalypse. Whether the world ends or not has nothing to do with any calendar that exists.

Ancillary Sword series is pretty good. It's about a spaceship AI whose stuck in a human body.

If you like really long stuff, the Three-Planet Problem by Cixin Liu (may br misremembering the name) is great. Overall it's an alternative history of humanity's future, lots of Imaginary tech and characters, lots of skipping forward in time, etc. For scale it manages to go from the 19X0s to the end of the universe in 3 books xD.

All Tomorrows is a weird little book that imagines humanity's futurein terms of evolution. Also great! It's free online iirc, and has super cool but kinda creepy drawings.

The Scythe series by Neil Shusterman is amazing as well. Takes place in a world where an AI runs everything to the point where everyone is immortal, so chosen individuals called Scythes kill people. It follows the journey of two Scythe apprentices as they train, and their journeys afterwards as one of them is chosen as a Scythe.

This Is How You Loose The Time War is a really wholesome story of two battling time traveller's. Absolutely loved it and would recommend it 100%. Can't say much beyond that for spoiler reasons :x

Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a super unique sci-fi book about a magician in a magical tower. No spoilers here :v. But it subverts expectations well and if you want smth at least somewhat different than the average novel I'd recommend this. Although I will note it isn't that impactful, just a really solid and wholesome read.

A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine is another very very awesome novel that's about an ambassador from a smol mining nation serving in an imperialistic empire with a very ornate literature-based culture. Absolutely freaking loved this one and I know Catiania does as well

Well, I'll give you the obvious one: Ready Player One. But if you're looking for something more obscure, I recommend Gearbreakers

Another Catiania recommendation that I enjoyed was Light From Uncommon Stars.

I also like the Long Earth series!

Wow I never realized how little sci-fi books I've read until I tried to answer Narwhal's question.

Other than the one I've forgotten the name of(I'm gonna check at the library today) I've read nearly none, save for Arc of a Scythe.

I can recommend the Lego Starwars Character encyclopedia, if that counts as scifi

"Hyperion" by Dan Simmons. It's sort of like "The Canterbury Tales" in space, where there's a group of people on a long pilgrimage to another planet, and they tell each other stories along the journey. It often gets recommended as a sci fi book for folks not already super into the genre. Also there's a river that flows between numerous planets by way of portal devices.

I'm still considering starting project moon apology (I didn't answer the issue yet) I'm just worried about my corruption and other whatever going funky because apparently, the public doesn't like the government making a planetary doomsday weapon.

Screw it I'm giving funding to project lunar apocalypse
