Region: Refugia
DVIV sends an Emergency squad of airplanes under a Flag of Truce to evacuate its entire Diplomatic staff and Other citizens from the territory of Uwuguaya. All Delta Vegans known to be visiting the Matriarchy have been given short but ample notice with clear instructions and sufficient information to reach the randez-vous sites of the planes. Any Delta Vegans deciding to stay may do so at their own risk and the government of DVIV is no longer responsible for their actions or lives.

Oh, interesting!
The best fruit is rhubarb because it makes a fantastic noise when it grows and also when it is shot at high speeds out of a cannon.
Araine, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
Rhubarb is great but also not a fruit. I can probably get behind the rhubarb is a fruit movement though, since it is great in fruit crumbles.

i don't actually like blueberries very much, but they're blue so i'm required to support them

Our pomegranate catapults and pineapple bombs will surely help in decreasing the time this fruit war lasts.
If any Delta Vegans still reside in Uwuguaya they may be imprisoned on charges of treachery, defamation and non-compliance with Uwuguayan law.
Uwuguayan citizens will be charged with treason, anti-Uwuguayanness, defamation and conspiracy against intelligence (formerly known as conspiracy against better knowledge).
Uwuguaya also will put high tariffs in place, targeting importing traders (and nationstates) who advertise their potatoes as fruit.

Watching the conflict from afar we have decided to remain neutral in this conflict and accept any and all refugees that cross the borders of Fiverdom.
Portmanteau, Szalyland, Tiralta, Falafelandia, The Blue Fire
In this tough time, my nation should help and support for those in needs
For that i will open my borders for refugees too as well as sending humanitarian aids, such as food, clothes, etc
good luck

A slight interruption to the Fruit War 3: Revenge of the Potato to bring you some tasty tasty proposed changes to the RRS. If anyone has feedback or wants to second let me know!
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1872118
Chacapoya has agreed to second but she also wanted to make some amendments so I've not added her name yet. Morrigan you also told me on Discord you had suggestions if you still have those?
And just a lil reminder that every Member State has the ability to be the change they wish to see in our regional legislation whenever they want by sharing a draft, editing and getting a second, and then pinging Refuge Isle when they're ready for a vote.
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Araine, Liphia, Falafelandia, Jazur, Waywards Edge, The Blue Fire
I would be happy to second!
Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge
Could we codify some protections for those who might choose to participate in R/D Gameplay on NS? Just a little note that says ''for a period greater than 48 hours, unless announced/explained'' or something like that. It would allow residents to participate in both single updates, as well as siege warfare if that comes up. I would like to get back into gameplay sometime soon, but have been rather nervous about doing so since I do want to remain a member nation here full time.
Falafelandia, Jazur, Waywards Edge
I'm good, I have a weird thing called irl to deal with.
Very odd, real life and my parents are trying to prevent me from being on NS. Uncool!
Also if we are restarting the fruit war, can I launch the vegetable nuke i left in the basement? Or is that cruel and unusual?
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
I think my advice here is that the RRS isn't a brochure, so there's no need to list benefits, especially ones that can change, nor should it advertise things so much as state rules (it's literally law). If something is banned, people can't do that. If something is required, then people have to do that. If something is offered, people have the option, but the text is indifferent towards whether or not they do.
If someone registers an alt with Ops, and that alt is WA, that nation will become a Member State after seven days in lieu of the main one. So they can already do the thing this suggests. I don't see the need for an amendment that's going the direction you're taking with this one.
Tiralta, Falafelandia
Did you remember to refrigerate it? If not it might have gone bad by now
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
But potatoes are fruit (as are Pumpkins and Mushrooms)!
Tiralta, Falafelandia
We could clarify the text of RRS 5, but up to now people have applied for a WA exemption for milgp cases.
We are likely to never codify something that encourages active military gameplay since Refugia is a neutral region and milgp has brought our community a load of negativity and hardship, even from the distance we are to it.
Chacapoya, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Slaggstone Bruntt, Uwuguaya
That's totally fair! I'll be sure to apply for said exemption when I get around to participating again.
Tiralta, Falafelandia
Can I be in the fruit war?
Cheesy Tots, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
As the war has escalated Fiverdom has decided to send food to nations with citizens in need. This food will be things like bread, pasta, and things that are undeniably in one category of food so as not to anger anyone.
Cheesy Tots, Tovenia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
fel'ow internet user, yes. anybody can participate in the humourous antics of THE FRUIT WAR or any other community based thing that we do in refugia /lh /g

Will your pasta have tomato sauce on it? If so the Atlantians consider this an act of war
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Of course not
Tiralta, Falafelandia
Potatoes are not fruits. Thats a non-truth that Uwuguaya wont stop fighting, to its last breath and beyond!-Shrooms arent fruit neither. As for pumpkins, they maybe are fruit.
Anyhow, from now on the glorious matriarchy embargoes Delta Vega Iv and Tiralta. All citizens of your nations still within Uwuguayan boundaries will be subject to prison sentences of up to 12 years.
Yes, you can. We highly encourage every Refugian to spread the message: Potatoes are not fruit!
This is highly appreciated by Uwuguaya. Uwuguaya views the nation of Fiverdom as a neutral entity, for the time being, unless proven otherwise. Uwuguaya is interested in a trade relationship with Fiverdom.
Wait-which side are you even on?-If you consider tomato sauce on pasta an act of war, then you must consider tomatoes as fruits, right?
Edit: Fixed pasta.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Potatoes are roots, pumpkins are fruits, and mushrooms are fungi.
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Fiverdom would consider pursuing a trade relationship with Uwuguaya as long as we would be able to remain neutral.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
Uwuguaya seconds this notion. We couldnt agree more.
Since you havent committed any hostile act against Uwuguaya, like spreading the non-truth of the potato being a fruit, you will be viewed as neutral and Uwuguaya, despite liking the imagination of having you at our side, will respect your declared neutrality.
Thusly, any hostile actions against your very formidable nation will be answered with hostilities towards your attacker by the glorious matriarchy and highly frowned upon.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Post self-deleted by Fiverdom.
Then Fiverdom will accept a trade and trade only relationship.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Thingessness
Uwuguaya rejoices!-We will send a trade fleet of ships and planes immediately.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Thingessness
Jazur hereby dec'ares that potatoes, and all other root vegetables, are a tad fruity, but are nonethe'ess vegetables still
Delta Vega Iv, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
The glorious matriarchy hereby extends an offer of friendship and propose building an embassy in Jazur. We would also happily conduct trade with your nation.
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Friends, at the end of the day does it truly matter how we define a potato? Is it that important to fell our fellow human beings over?
Surely we can all come together and appreciate the fact that potatoes are DELICIOUS?? Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew; they're versatile and perfect. The Ledona officially implore all to lay down arms and end the conflict, as we pass around a bowl of peace fries (with various included dips available)
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Araine, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Ouch To The Natives
Tiralta immediately releases a statement advising that all travel to Uwuguaya is unsafe and not recommended for citizens. We are also petitioning global justice bodies to demand the release of our innocent and unfairly imprisoned citizens.

Well appreciated sentiment, and they really are delicious, but our council has decided to sell illegal potato nukes to both sides of the combat to further enflame the battle. Whilst still harboring the belief that potatoes are both a fruit and a vegetable. They are also a starch.🥔🥔🥔 FRUIT WARS🥳
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
well, nothing better to add another one-
carrots............ they are definetly fruits

Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Waywards Edge
Did you just call them fries?-Cause thats a hostile action against Uwuguaya.
We value your insights but I think it might be a bit late now that theres 3 fronts in this:
The potatoes are fruits-blasphemers, the potatoes are a drink-frontier, and the potatoes are vegetables-front, all in opposition to each other. And light hostilities already took place.
The glorious matriarchy officially condemns this decision. Its a truly distasteful act and not very honourable to sell WMDs.
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Ouch To The Natives
I cast counterspell as a reaction.
lemme roll real quick.. That's a dirty 20, so your missile silos have jammed.
My turn now, so I now cast death ward. Let's end the potato war peacefully, pls
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
Uwuguaya denies having imprisoned any Tiraltans so far and thus has to protest the Tiraltan petition. Furthermore Uwuguaya will view any demands of one or more global justice bodies (gbf) as a violation of its sovereignty. The glorious matriarchy will claim damages for the violation of its sovereignty in the range of 200,000 uwuwus and rising.
Moreover, Uwuguaya places high trade tariffs on Tiraltan imports and gave its coast guard permission to stop and search any ship, under Tiraltan or Delta Vegan flag, passing through its national waters.
Similarly, nearly identical rules apply for all air traffic passing through Uwuguayan airspace, be it civilian or military.
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
New Atlantic would like to declare our stance on this war formally: We agree with Estebere and Uwuguaya that potatoes are not fruits, they are root vegetables. However, tomatoes and pumpkins are fruits.
Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
(OOC: RP randomness GO! Also, it'd be the first time I'd ever used this, so yay. Writing is fun so yay.)
Noting Tiralta's Concerns,
Untrusting both sides to end this conflict peacefully, Hereby Invokes Article 4.
I invite ambassadors of all nations in this fruit war to meet for discussion without weapons.
[spoiler=Article 4 of WESLR]
Article 4: On The Accords Guarantees being threatened
If any Member Nation regardless of their WESLR status, in their opinion, has the guarantees of this Accord threatened, they may call a Session of the WESLR Council.
Section 1: If a Session is called, all WESLR Council Members shall report to WESLR's Serenina HQ within 1 day.
Section 2: The Member State that had called the Session will bring a case before The WESLR Council.
Section 3: A vote will be held after the Member State that had called the Session has finished their arguments, and the case is either closed, or may lead to further action, such as Military Intervention, Sanctions, and other measures.[/spoiler]
With that, I must make several pings to my friends, as well as summon a bunch of ambassadors
St Leone, Irimara, Jazur, Chong Qing, Estebere, Tiralta, and Uwuguaya and all parties currently in the fruit war.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Liphia, Portmanteau, St Leone, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Irimara, Thingessness, The Ledona

Tiralta sends ambassador Spud Sarfroot to Serenina for the discussions.
Portmanteau, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
When the name 'Spud Sarfroot' reaches Port Manteau, it echoes across the islands, bringing much joy to those who hear it. On the strength of their name alone, the ambassador is given a day of honor on the archipelago, and the name 'Sarfroot' quickly becomes a popular choice for new parents.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Ledona
Ambassador Sarfroot is delighted by this development, and sends a basket of rhubarb and potatoes to the good people of Port Manteau as a gesture of thanks.
Chacapoya, Portmanteau, Falafelandia, Jazur
The glorious matriarchy of Uwuguaya sends ambassadress Selena Errera Dominguer to Serenina but insists on starting the negotiations tomorrow.
[OOC: I currently have sleep issues and woke up at 4 am, now its almost 10 pm and I am super-tired and my heart feels heavier than it should and I can hear the noise in my ears. Is that good*?-Anyhow, I would like to continue this tomorrow, somewhen between 8 am GMT and 8 pm GMT. If I wake earlier and enough of you are here/available then maybe even before 8 am GMT.
*Plus my brain can barely form a coherent thought today. So if you dont mind, please tomorrow.]
Edit: We also invite New Atlantic to the official negotiations.

The head matriarch of Uwuguaya is most pleased by the backing from New Atlantic and sends a fruit basket containing lychees, oranges, mandarins, peaches and quinces, alongside a small assortment of wines alongside their ambassador Érnando Seregüer, also called Ted, an uwuguayan panda.
In other news, since the uwuguayan delegation forgot to send a fruit basket alongside their ambassadress to the meeting in Serenina, the glorious matriarchy instead sends their bombers to Serenina, to drop fruit baskets onto the meeting. The fruit baskets will only contain non-controversial fruits like pears, apples, quinces and citrus fruits like oranges.
