I like a little bit of rocket for the pizzazz but not too much. Middle option?

Also, answering issues for Green Week and I have one that's just "ewwww gay people" (complete with derogatory terms). Yay. I guess it's one of the earlier ones, but ugh.

Potatoes delivered to your doorstep at Mach 6. Also, ignore the boom, and the fact that it's aimed at every non-potato countr... Oh yeah, see that giant rocket-looking thing? Yeah, that's nothing and not a giant ICBM loaded with five bio-nuclear potato cluster bombs.

WHY DID MY POLITICAL FREEDOM FALL WHEN I MADE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS USE LANGUAGE THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE TO THE AVERAGE PERSON?! UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN YOUR NATION'S GOVERNMENT SHOULD GIVE YOU MORE POLITICAL FREEDOM, NOT LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, on the subject of fruits and veggies, the best is DEFINITELY corn on the cob coated in butter and salt. Also, not only do some of the queer issues need updating, but we also need more national policies that involve the LGBTQ+ community. So far, we've got allowing gay people to marry. That's a great thing to do and a great policy to install, but the LGBTQ+ community isn't called the G community for a reason. There's so much more to it, and so many more rights we can give that can be represented through supportive national policies. If there are already, I haven't encountered the issues to get them yet.

Yeah, issues can be a lil. Unpredictable in effect some time :P

I'm pretty sure there are more LGBTQ issues - I actually went and did a quick count just to see how many. #616 is about conversion therapy, #1214 is about allowing gay people to donate blood, #1260 is about persecuted gay refugees, #1467 is about gay citizens being arrested abroad, #1560 is about a famous figure being found to be gay, #218 is about gay adoption, #238 about gay people in the military, #66 is about recognising gender transition, #1362 is about the trans panic defence, #1556 is about trans people in domestic violence shelters, #1527 is about gay marriage in the monarchy, #1236 mentions transgender name changes, #1266 is about trans prisoners, #1351 is about images of gay affection, #1162 is about if sex with trans people counts as gay in nations where gay relationships are illegal, #1077 is about homophobia and transphobia in old media, #1171 is about if your leader regardless of gender would flirt with a bisexual celebrity, #489 is about recruiting gay people specifically to the military, #674 is about if service can be refused to gay people, #759 is about if a church can refuse to marry gay people, #767 is about neopronouns, #1581 is about depicting gay relationships in TV shows for children...

there are probably more but then I got distracted :P

Thank you for showing me all of the issues! I hope I get more of them at some point! However, I would probably have to dismiss the flirting one... I'm asexual and aromantic! When and if Nationstates gives people the chance to write issues again, I will try to think of one involving the asexual and aromantic community since I didn't see one here. It'll take a bit of brainstorming, but I'll do my best, and be ready for the next time nations get to write issues!

There might be asexual ones, I just searched for gay and trans in the issues thread :P But you can always write and submit issues! It's recommended to draft them in the Got Issues forum, and it can take a while for them to get accepted after submitting. It's fun though! I actually have two published issues myself on a different nation (one about a dead pet, one about using astrology on babies).

I was curious to see just how many of the 696 S3 Refugia card nations are still active and in the region.

175/696 are still around and not CTE, and 131 of those are still in the region.

I didnÂ’t know the turnover rate for newly created nations was so high, S3 rolled out right after a big increase in new users because of a Tiktok if I remember correctly. It seems most didnÂ’t stick around.

But most of the people who have stuck around have remained in the region so it seems region satisfaction is fairly high. I know IÂ’m certainly satisfied.

While dolphins are less sensitive to pufferfishÂ’s neurotoxins than humans are, they actually arenÂ’t completely immune! They just really like harassing pufferfish and getting high, so they risk it. They would probably die if they ate a whole pufferfish.

I just banned airplanes earlier for the sole purpose of raising my eco friendliness and it went down by a lot. And it affected my civil rights too.

I was allowing planes because if you really need to travel vast distances on I donÂ’t think requiring people to take ships or horses if public transportation isnÂ’t available is practical.

Of course, banning the potato dropping planes caused my eco friendliness to drop. Potatoes are completely necessary for the environment, and without them, the ecosystem breaks down. Those planes must have been the only source of vital potatoes.

IÂ’ve made a terrible mistake

Put every single variety of potato in existence in Vault P, for Potato.

All 5000+ varieties of potato. There is an excessive number of potatoes out there.

This talk of alliances reminds me that I still need to apply to be on the map, I can't decide what to put for certain parts of the application so I've just been restarting over and over on occasion over the course of like a year. It'll get done eventually.

That's one of the only things I'm sure on lol. I was going to just say I don't particularly care exactly where I am, just somewhere in the northwest portion of whatever map I end up on. Unfortunately I don't think we have a Pacific Ocean in Refugia. Maybe I'll just call the ocean immediately off the coast of my nation the Pacific Sea or something. Or maybe I should ask to be in the southeast, just to make people mad? Although that would annoy me too so probably not lol.

I'm more torn on culture, color, size, and the location of my capital since I don't think you get to pick the exact shape of your nation and its size can change over time. It can't be exactly how it is in the real world because fantasy map.

For awhile there was a note on the application saying we weren't allowed to make new cultures, we had to pick from the existing ones. I don't see that anymore but even if I can create a new one I don't know what to call mine. I mean I don't even know which map I want to ask to be on.

Yesssss let's do that. In fact, why don't we have a vault for every letter of the alphabet? And, what if we make it a bunker too?

We could have stuff like Books, the Produce area, Housing, something for anything.

In fact, maybe there could be multiple V.A.U.L.T.S. like under major cities in the event of nuclear fallout/zombie apocalypse or in the arctic, underwater, and underground as like archives or last ditch resorts.

WeÂ’ve been waiting for a new neighbor for a couple of years and itÂ’s in the northwestern corner of the map :) Tovenia and I dubbed the island Araito but we could call the surrounding waters the Pacific Sea! No pressure though lol
That's something I'll definitely consider, although that would technically put me on the northeast part of that northwest island lol. To be more northwestern I'd need to take Tovenia's place. Map 2 also has a pretty big island in the northwest that's completely clear for now. But perhaps being in the northeast of an island in the northwest would be a good compromise between the people who want name accuracy and the people who want irony.

And unrelated, but I finally have access to a computer again so I've been experiencing NS on something that isn't an ancient iphone for the first time. I've been playing that Green New Deal simulator mentioned in the eco report for a bit and wow, it's difficult. I managed to do it once on my second try but I think it was a fluke and a bug because I didn't actually get rid of all the fossil fuel consumption on the pie charts, there were still a couple slivers left and I have no idea why the game gave it to me. I've been trying to replicate it since and I haven't been able to, I've gotten really close several times but no dice.

And I just lifted my plane ban in the hopes it would reverse the damage banning them and their potatoes did to my environment and my eco friendliness and environmental beauty went down even more. Nationstates why

I have a ton of trading cards and don't know what they're used for so they aren't of any value to me. If you see any you want, just let me know!

Typica please go and vote for the educational equality act. It's so important and 32 of our other nations, including me, have already voted for it and 5 have voted against it. As our WA Delegate, your support is important. If you are one of the nations who voted against it, you may make your argument now, but I think promoting educational equality and preventing hate speech is important. If there are some flaws in it, please let us know now.

Please go join the World Assembly and start voting and debating and doing whatever else WA members are supposed to do! We need and deserve representation! NOW GO! THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION! *aggressively dumps you at the giant doors to the World Assembly building* *smiles and feels pride in ensuring democracy as I watch you sitting where I dumped you, just shaking* I AM THE LIVING DEFINITION OF CHAOTIC GOOD AND ANY DICTATORSHIP-LIKE POLICIES IN MY NATION ARE THE RESULT OF THE FACT THAT I HAVE TWO NATIONS AND GET MIXED UP DO NOT TEST ME!!!!!!!!!! >:)

I also have wares for coin, but much cheaper because I don't understand the cards or their use. Then again, I also don't know how to sell them...

I'm always happy to support liberations and reactive injunctions (i.e. an injunction after a region has been raided). They're at the request of nations that just want control of their own region again.

To be fair to the security council, all they can really propose there are commends, condemns, libs and injunctions, unless we want to see endless declarations (which have no impact on any kind of gameplay)

Congratulations! That had to have been expensive, I completely lost track of how much I spent really early on.

They donÂ’t really have a use, itÂ’s just for fun. Some people just like collecting them. ThereÂ’s an option to opt out of receiving them in settings for people whoÂ’d prefer to ignore them.

S1 was an April FoolÂ’s thing if I remember right but people liked them so much they released two more rounds of them.

I wanna take a guess and say I've spent close to 600 bank on it. -pain-

750-ish if you count my having bought Refuge Isle twice. (The first one will be going out as a prize to someone at some point soonish, though not from me)

I don't even have an estimate of how much it cost me, I just know it was very spendy, particularly the legendaries. I've never had a massive amount of bank, I think the most I've ever had at one time is like 100 something. I'm still surprised I was even able to complete my collection because I have such little available bidding power at any given time. I ended up selling off some legendaries I won from the endotarting competitions to pay for some of it. Then I felt bad for selling them so I'm looking to buy them back while at the same time attempting to complete my Refugia S2 collection.

I know the most I ever spent on a single card that wasn't legendary was that GinaLinetti card. For some reason that one took its sweet time to drop, there was a solid 8 or 9 months where no one had even found a copy yet. I think it was the only one that had never had a single copy in game. Then when someone finally did get one, I just happened to check at the right time. I managed to get it for 15 bank and I had the only copy in existence for a bit. Luckily there are more to go around now so people actually have a hope of completing their collections.

I bet it still has one of the lowest, if not the lowest, number of cards in circulation. I'd like to actually check but the card queries website has been down for months. I may check manually next time I get really bored. Boredom is the reason I went through and sorted through the collection by existing nations and nations that are still here in the region lol.

And I just realized I don't think I ever thanked you for sending me that huge batch of S2 cards a few months ago, it happened right before I vanished from NS and CTE'd for a little bit. That was incredibly helpful, I think that alone doubled the number of cards in my collection. Thank you so much for that!
