Region: Refugia
I'd suggest that you use http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/ when answering issues to get a general idea of how it'll affect your stats.
Getting involved in the community by chatting in the RMB and involving yourself in region organised events is also a fun thing to do on here.
Oakgall, Lluminia
Is there a maximum to how many treaties you can join? I see a good few I'm qualified for, and I'm thinking about joining. Thanks in advance!
The Blue Fire, Oakgall
We'll add you to as many as you like! Even though the image might get a bit confused (look at poor Waywardia lol), you'll still be part of the group lists and can participate with them however much you like.
Chacapoya, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
100 endorsements! Thank you, everybody! And thanks to Venje in particular for being #100!
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Silliy, Ban Oldern, Venje, Trassval Emeritus, Oakgall
congrats! Im 11 away! and thanks to YOU for endorsing me
Chacapoya, Araine, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Izzalia, Oakgall
We encourage everyone to endorse everyone else here, no "Endorsement Caps" as in some other regions. Enjoy!
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Trassval Emeritus
Now that I think about it whats the purpose of there being 6 hours between each issue? Why cant it be like just 2 or 3
The Blue Fire
I thought that a lot when I started playing but there are less than 2000 issues iirc and after a year or so you start seeing a lot of repeats.
Delta Vega Iv, Chinquaq, Typica, Araine, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa
well, just got news Europe was raided.
Glad our region is peaceful:)

Soooooooo who wants some NUKES
The Star Enpire, Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Ullrani, The Blue Fire, Silliy, Ban Oldern
Oh gosh here we go again
Let's do this.
Chacapoya, Typica, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern
I love the smell of plutonium in the mornin
The nuclear sunrise on the horizon, a ball of fire setting the world alight. Total annihilation, no place left unscorched, untainted by the radioactive flames torching our homes.
Chacapoya, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern
If this nation ends up being a nuke making specialist this time after that recent wmd scare I swear

OK, imma just head out...
good riddance
Hi. Speaking of bombs....
Did you know that the failed businessman Loser Trump dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb less than three months after he took office?
This is the multiple-times bankrupt hotelier who has 0 military experience dropping the biggest bomb the US has ever dropped.
Food for thought
Yeah that makes sense
Tuluni, The Blue Fire
Hi everyone
Tuluni, Izzalia, Oakgall
hey :3
Tuluni, Rothesia, Oakgall
Welcome to the region! Its always awesome to meet new friends. Youve already gotten a welcome telegram that gives some basics for the region, but here are some quick tips to get started.
Check out your telegram preferences and select Block All for Recruitment. That way youll stop getting all those spam telegrams youve been seeing from other regions.
If you havent already, please consider signing up for the World Assembly! If you do, youll 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 and also extra snacks. Youll also be able to endorse and collect endorsements from other people 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.
If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask!
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Villagers Uninted, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Rothesia, Melun, Oakgall
You must have missed me.
I was invited here by an automated message.
How is the region?
This is a quote for this happy day:
"The American public is fed up with the disrespect the NFL is paying to our Country, our Flag and our National Anthem. Weak and out of control!
Trump, 2017

Refugia isn't the United States, so I don't know what you're aiming to accomplish here with posts like that.
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Pantumaca, Tay-Mania
Food for thought is all. Plus I love spreading truth and love.
American football is enjoyed internationally, I bet by certain members of this very region.
Refugia is in the bastion of the internet, but I am sure Trump still feels he owns it, like everything.
Is that an official greeting from the arch-administrator?
Alright well, you're going to need to be more than a one-note poster if you want me to consider this anything other than spam
Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Tay-Mania, Sinzalia
I have absolutely no idea why donald trump is involved in refugia..
Typica, Tiralta, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Pantumaca, Sinzalia
Just doing some traveling. This is an international stage so this is for you, world---
"It's really cold outside, they are calling it a major freeze, weeks ahead of normal. Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!"

Goodnight and stay thinking

Je ne comprends que l'anglais de base.
Je vais peut-être utiliser Google Translate.
Minskievian Refugees, Tiralta, Jazur, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Just wanted to say that it's officially been 1 year since I joined NationStates. I don't know why I decided to keep this up for this long.
Oh, and I still have the telegram that was sent to me when I joined back then, even if I chose to stay somewhere else for a time.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Minskievian Refugees, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, Estebere, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Izzalia, Oakgall
Maybe next time we'll get someone who warns us of the perils of Jacques Chirac or someone else equally as irrelevant.
Hope it's been alright living here at the least
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Yeah, I've been enjoying my time. Thanks for bringing me here.
Chacapoya, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Adawu, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Happy nationstates birthday!
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Ah oui, désolée pour le obstacle linguistique. Google Translate ne devrait pas être un problème. Comment ca va aujourdhi ?
Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Melun
Happy NS Bday! Here, have a cupcake. Strawberry Shortcake flavored!
Hope you've enjoyed this year!
Chacapoya, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Je vais bien!
Et j'ai le souhait d'apparaître sur la carte de notre région
(I want to appear in region map!)
Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern
très bien ! Il suffit de joindre de 'World Assembly' (l'assemblée du monde) et résider dans la région pour une semaine à rejoindre la carte.
(désolé aussi pour mon français, je ne parle pas bien 😅)

Just realised the Federal Republic of Mastare has the same flag as my homenation (as in real life)
Silliy, Deg0Od, Oakgall
Ça marche bien, Refugie a beaucoup de personnes qui parlent français. Mais, je suggère encore de donner une traduction en anglais dans chaque message pour des anglophones. Moi, je parle le français assez couramment mais pas parfaitement, c'est certain.
That works fine, Refugia has many people who speak French. But, I still suggest to give a translation in English in each message for people who only speak English. I personally speak French decently enough but not perfectly for sure.

edit: wait a minute I thought it was a webcomic
Typica, Silliy, Deg0Od
The biome map is pretty cool but its very hard to tell the difference between the shades of green used for wetland and temperate rainforest on the legend.
Typica, Tiralta, Deg0Od
I can potentially change the legend to be similar to the one I made for the heightmap, so that the icons are larger and more clear.
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
I think it's a vidjagame
The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
ye I looked it up and realized it after
so uh, I amend my previous statement. I rlly need to [I]play[/I] Changed at some point
Typica, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
and i really need to play Changed at some point

The voting just started and Ban Oldern is already at second place
Edit: Nevermind.
Chacapoya, Typica, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
Well, look at that, I'm Refugia's best nation, for now. x3
Chacapoya, Typica, Villagers Uninted, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Deg0Od
how'd that even happen? I've never seen this event before
Chacapoya, Typica, Deg0Od
It's just a new event, there's a little bit of info at the news page.
Chacapoya, Typica, Deg0Od
It's not new, it was an event last year. And the year before that apparently.
Chacapoya, Araine, Deg0Od
Who is voting against potato supremacy? >:(
Typica, Araine, Tuluni, Dutchformosa, Silliy, Oakgall
I'm on the Refugia leaderboard, #4! Nice to see, though it's likely temporary.
Edit: And my alt, Blod And Meolc is on the leaderboard simultaneously, currently at #14!
Hope everyone gets their turn in the sun as well!
Chacapoya, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Deg0Od
Welp, i'm at 55 :3
guess it's fair, i'm not well known
Chacapoya, Dutchformosa, Deg0Od, Izzalia, Letheguard
As far as I can tell nobody has even voted for ny nation yet.
The beavers must be too intimidating.
[sub]Or there are just so many nations in existence it just hasnt even shown up for anyone yet but no I want to be scary[/sub]
Araine, Dutchformosa, Deg0Od
I'm no longer on the refugia leaderboard.
My time to shine has ended.
One of my puppet states is in the leaderboard, so that's something!
Deg0Od
my nation still doesn't have a rating :(
Deg0Od
Mine neither
Deg0Od
as that guy who was second place worldwide for all of two seconds and now has no rating, maybe idk. stoats must be really intimidating too
nationstates is scared of the furries /j
Araine, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Silliy, Deg0Od

Araine, St Leone, Tiralta, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od
We are scary though!

Why do you think the poorest income is represented by a shopping basket?
Araine, Tiralta, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od
Perhaps because they are employed by wealthy people to grocery shop for them.
Melenavenia, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od
I'd imagine that it's because they spend most of their money on groceries.
Melenavenia, Araine, Tiralta, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Deg0Od
im at 48 thousand . . . and sinking .w.
Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od
I'm almost in the top one hundred of Refugia and that's all that matters
Araine, St Leone, Tiralta, Estebere, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od, Oakgall
What is happening? I just logged in. Why am I the best nation in Refugia? 😐
Edit: Nevermind lol
Araine, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od, Oakgall
god damn I'm 3,520th best nation in the world, that's pretty cool
Araine, Villagers Uninted, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od, Izzalia, Oakgall
Same, 78th to be precise(But I'm sure that'll change soon enough)
Jazur, The Blue Fire, Oakgall
mfw I'm making a (very minor) comeback (never gonna be the best nation in refugia again but whatever)
Araine, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Oakgall
anyone gonna bring up the fact that we (as of now) have top-15 representation? lesgo
if I jinx it, sorry Catiania
edit: dammit
Araine, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Oakgall
I have randomly risen in popularity and am now 45th in the region
Araine, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
That seems like a pretty good guess.
Chacapoya, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire
Hello my friends! I come to bring you great news.
First, Melenavenia is rated as the best nation in Refugia, and this is quite true; he is the best of us. I am pleased to see the rise of the polar bear empire champion our name and cause and for songs to be sung about the furry civilization in your home nations and internationally.
Second, I am pleased to announce the beginning of the candidacy period for the February 2024 Regional Council election. This election will determine the region's leadership for the March-May term. The following Councillor positions are open and hopefully we can fill them with interested people who are willing and able to help operate the region at a governmental level:
[list]
Councillor of Foreign Affairs, overseeing our interactions, reports, and communiques with friends and other foreign regions.
Councillor of Culture, overseeing events that celebrate and develop our regional identity and the experience of being here.
Councillor of Operations, overseeing our regional security and crisis response, vaporising anything that lurks in the shadows.
Councillor of World Assembly Affairs, overseeing our analyses of World Assembly legislation and recommendations about how we approach the WA.
[/list]
This election will establish Refugia's leadership through May of this year. No nations are currently barred from any position -- any Member State can declare candidacy. Announce your candidacy to stand for office here in the RMB tagging/pinging (Refuge Isle) with your declaration so I will be sure to see it. Candidacy closes Feb 19th. Following this, all valid candidates will be entered into the election votes for their respective positions.

Hello Refuge Isle! I would like to declare my intention to run for Councillor of Culture. It's been a while since we've really done a cultural event, and I think we could have some fun. I'd also like to get us back in the habit of playing games and watching movies in the server. Now that we have a separate server for Refugia, I would also like to hopefully work in conjunction with whoever is the Councillor of Foreign Affairs to make sure that our embassy friends have invitations to our events.
I'd also get us back on track making eco-reports regularly and encourage some new eco goals, since we didn't have any new ones in 2023.
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Congrats, Melenavenia!! 👏
We'd promote your land for tourism but our air traffic controllers are on strike, but at least people can still take a boat and see Catiania instead!!
Typica, Melenavenia, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
Thank you.
You can take a boat to southern Melenavenia but the islands where most people live are kinda cut off by ice at the moment.
Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, The Blue Fire, Silliy, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
My nation has still not been voted on and were now 25 hours into the event :( I was really hoping to be 35000th best or something but I dont even get to be a pinnacle of mediocrity lol
Typica, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, The Blue Fire, Dutchformosa, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od, Oakgall
...Then how can we travel there, teleportation or something??
Melenavenia, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Oakgall
I'd lend you my teleportation machine! ...but it got rained on and broke :(
Melenavenia, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Silliy, Oakgall
An influx of refugees has arrived in south Refugi. They have decided to settle into a new land called Diamontia.
We hope not to intrude. We have been chased down by hateful governments and decided to find a place where we can be ourselves and not bow down to fascists. We hope to foster good relations with our new neighbours.
The Star Enpire, Tiralta, Villagers Uninted, Jazur, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Izzalia, Oakgall
i bet we can't even illegally jump the border into the place or just go in with the documents
Tiralta, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern
uh
I could turn you into a bird with a prismaglyph
and you could fly over there
now I can't go over there because my wing is currently sprained from carrying music stands but you can fly back and get me to turn you back (or not if you want)
Tiralta, Tuluni, The Blue Fire
Huh, 8th place ain't bad!
Chacapoya, Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern
who are- oh wait there's a furry in your f'ag this makes sense
Typica, Tiralta, Tuluni, Weirtopia, The Blue Fire
wait I never noticed that until now what
Typica, Araine, Tuluni, Weirtopia, Deg0Od
Ice breakers try to maintain a pathway through the ice via boat or you can take a plane. We're in the process of building an underground rail line between the islands but such a project takes a considerable amount of time.
