I told him that passing this repeal (https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=425/council=2) would burn a bridge irreparably and put him on my "against due to author" list.

hold on, but aren't these two different nations?
Check the forum side. It's pretty clear that Fort Concord is just an alt from Quebecshire. It's a coin-flip which account the person behind them will respond to comments with, and the signature on Fort Concord says "Outpost on the frontier of Quebecshire."

oh guess i'll abstain
For the record nobody is required to have their vote affected by mine, vote how you feel. I'm just required by regional law to explain my vote if it's against the majority lol

Hi y'all, sorry I've been out for a while, anyone wanna have a competition to design a prestigious college for their countries?
Tiralta, Estebere, Chong Qing, Lycanjeskai
We could have until 2/12/23 (next Sunday) to create a dispatch detailing the campus/its history/majors and degrees available/websites/etc. I can create a google form if anyone is interested, and the decision of the most prestigious University/College/Institute could be made with a vote.
I can also post a guide for how to add images/links/etc
Looks like the vote is still even, even with exemption votes -- 15/15

Aaaaaaaah its too close!

Every day, an Ohioan is told that their state doesn't exist. But with just one small vote, you can change their life.
Vote for The State of Ohio in this round to say "oh, hi yo!" today!
Araine, Istastioner, Talmon, Jazur, The Blue Fire
Why vote against? If I may ask.
Completely fair. That vote was a big one
THAT WOULD BE AMAZINGLY POG

Hello I am not new to nation states, but just a new nation. I was in the Augustin alliance for like 2 years and wanted something different this time around so well see how this goes.
Tiralta, Rejakhta
That sounds interesting, so I'll begin preparing the Adrad University of Arts. Would it be fine if I did it tour style?

I have not really talked here in a long time, perhaps one day I may end up moving on, we will see
Hey uhh Ill be honest I dont know a lot about how nationstates works and Ive been trying to figure out what raiding is? How it works, and also what it means for the raided region. I thought the gmb might be a good place to ask but if Im wrong please let me know
edit: nvm I figured it out
Portmanteau
oh i meant on a factbook : )
Oh yeah, of course!
I feel like I've been seeing more people like this come into Refugia and then leave. What's going on?
I accidentally banned internet ;-;

Oof...
Harassment, tbh. imo it's best not to interact with them, just report them to Ops (A Million Dreams) or a Ward when you see 'em so they can sort it out.

If you vote for Weird Al he will eternally grant you above-average accordion skills and maybe if youre lucky give you a polka performance!! Down with the Ohioans, they are a force too powerful to be left alive!
VOTE WEIRD AL!

This is a fun idea. I may not have the time to get it finished by then, but I'm definitely going to do this. I'll link it to you, if so, just so you can see.

Once you get to 500 million population, you'll get the option to set a custom prefix :)

I just annoy sylh, they get banned fairly fast
I try to be on this site less but I've developed a habit of checking it regularly, so I'm usually the first one to see, lol. Not always, but often.
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge, Koliland
Sylh how the hell do the majority of your people die by going into the woods?

High environmental stats and low other causes of death :D
Araine, Tiralta, Hoqeallistan, Jazur, Lycanjeskai, Koliland
dunno, i summon a friend
AHEM
"Hell"
Lycanjeskai, Koliland
They are elves. Elves always be dying in the woods
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai, Koliland
Tiralta, Lycanjeskai
Firstly, it's not Hell, it's Sushi Rice. Secondly, here's my idea: it says lost, not dead. So maybe they're all alive and living in the woods?
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Chong Qing, Lycanjeskai
Thirdly, we believe that skeletons may be naturally forming in the woods for unrelated reasons. Probably bloodmagic.
Sylh Alanor, Jazur, Lycanjeskai, The Blue Fire
Or perhaps some of the elves are alive and the rest are dead.
Sylh Alanor, Lycanjeskai
it seems like you guys keep forgetting to put up signs saying " stay on the trail "
Sylh Alanor
Im choosing to believe the millions of my citizens that keep getting lost in the woods arent dying, theyre simply choosing to join the super secret wilderness society. They just want to live in the woods and never be found for whatever reason, but theyre perfectly fine.
Sylh Alanor, Melenavenia, Araine, Tiralta, Lycanjeskai, The Blue Fire
It looks like the State of Ohio is pulling ahead
Sylh Alanor, Melenavenia, Araine, Tiralta, Istastioner, The Blue Fire
Oh same! In my lore, a large amount of the land is intentional wilderness, so when people die from getting lost there, they're simply choosing to not live in the society I've created but one that's more at one with nature in that wilderness zone. I'm very okay with that.
Araine, Lycanjeskai
18.6% of my people die from going into the wilderness.. thats a lot
let's just say that it's because they... um.,....,,.. ..... ... yes
on another note AMIYOKA 1B PEOPLE!!

As the battle between Greta Thunberg and the Necromancy Badger looms, I have prepared.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1833376
The next page shall be posted when the vote begins. Subsequent pages will be unlocked by numbers of votes for Necromancy Badger. So that one day they may face (presumably) the state of Ohio.

what are y'all favorite types of cheese?
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai
*inhales* västerbottensost. one time a friend who lives in sweden came to my town to visit and brought it, apparently it's only made in one place but it's so so impossibly good
Araine, Rupika, Tiralta, Jazur
I may be basic but I love parmesean
Araine, Rupika, Tiralta, Jazur
There's an awesome soy-based cheese thing made locally, it's pretty great
Araine, Rupika, Tiralta, Jazur
im holding a poll for what type of government I should use after coming back in the Fact book
Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai
Probably goats cheese.

Ahh. Is there a Costco near you? My dad likes to eat these Marys Gone Crackers from Costco with Brie.

So, for this region:
1. don't be fascist
2. don't associate with fascists
3. don't even mention the fascists
4. support the environment
5. endorse sylh alanor (you get a cookie for doing so)
6. endorse everybody (you get a cookie for doing so)
7. join the discord (you get a cookie for doing so)
8. talk on the discord (you get a cookie for doing so)
9. get on the map (you get a cookie for doing so)
10. read the Refugia Revised Statutes (you don't get a cookie, but it allows you to not get banned)

Hmmm, I need something to push Weird Al over the finish line. Hes done admirably against Ohio.
Wellllll Ive got just one thing, the trick up my sleeve: Ohio (as a whole), voted for Monsieur Bigly in the 2020 election. Weird Al, on the other hand, did not. Checkmate, liberals
VOTE WEIRD AL
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur
No, not at all. In specific, I would recommend the Adrad University of the Arts and the Port Aris Academy for Merchants and Postmasters for the university.
Tiralta, Talmon, Jazur
This! plus Weird Al could obviously take Ohio in a fight high diff

What sort of stuff would you like to know more about? The main bits of NationStates (in my opinion) are:
- Issues: those questions you answer about your nation. They can lead to badges and sometimes you can get special issues called Easter Eggs! You can also help write issues, but definitely draft them on the forums first!
- World Assembly: endorse everyone else in Refugia to gain influence stat faster, vote on proposed international laws and declarations, and even write your own (again, draft it in the forums first).
- Regional fun! At the moment we have the Battle of All Things (BOAT) run by Refuge Isle and a postcard competition run by Chacapoya. In a few days we'll have our regional elections for officer roles, and you can chat on the RMB (this message board). If you're in the World Assembly and Refugia for 7 days, you can be a member state and vote in BOAT, elections, and get on the regional map.
- Cards: you get these by answering issues. Sell them or junk them to get bank, which can be used to bid on cards you want more. You can create whatever collections you like, and the more value your deck has, the higher your international artwork stat will go.
- Raiding/defending: I don't really know much about this cause I'm not involved in it, but basically some people use the power of fast reflexes and arcane knowledge of update times to either raid another region or defend it from being raided. Remember all that lovely World Assembly influence though? That protects us from a raid if anything ever happens to the region's founder Refuge Isle! As a neutral region, Refugia doesn't side with either of these factions, although many folks here are involved in R/D with other nations.
- Other stuff: there's a challenge minigame which doesn't affect your nation but is fun, you can write factbooks and develop your nation's lore, and the main NationStates forums have RP if that's your bag!
And also, stuff that isn't NationStates but is a fun thing you can do here, Refugia is the NationStates wing of a wider community called CalRef! We have a discord and a forum with game and movie nights, spam games, a book club, and lots of lovely people who like to chat!
