This sounds like people who don't get away with their crimes are sent to dig up minefields with their bare hands.

422 NEW MESSAGES??!! I WAS ONLY OFFLINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WTF HAVE Y'ALL BEEN DOING??
Tiralta, Jazur, Antimai
weve been doing an rp discussing bread and magic and some other stuff

Welcome back to the stage of histories, stories again told untold

copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper.
Must be my favorite fact about my country.
Delta Vega Iv, Amiyoka, Seabarrel
Hi i just want to get something of my chest about this game. I just got issue 22 about N*zi sympathizers. I ofcourse banned hatespeech and racist remarks. Que the changes: HDI down, intelligence down, political freedom down, corruption up. Like who made that? "Aww i cant say slurs anymore, my freedoms🥺🥺" Im really bothered by this
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Jazur, Vinona
I'm sorry you got hit with that issue! It's one of a few really badly designed ones. There are maybe 30 issues I always dismiss because I think the results are really awful and should be given a new pass.
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Jazur, Seabarrel
i got that one too i also sayed no and dealt with it.
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Seabarrel
Yeah thats what ill do i guess. Whatever the game thinks of it, no way my country will have negative "freedoms" like that. Next time the game will be mad at me because you cant just stab someone or something
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor
Do you remember a few for me to look out for? Im really glad i joined the right faction with people that thing the same about this btw
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Tiralta
It's so nice to have you all here! Theres a lot of great information in the welcome telegram youve already received, but I have a few things that might help settling into the region easier. Refugia is part of a larger community named Calamity Refuge, or CalRef. We have a discord here: https://calref.network/chat/ and a forum here: https://calref.cc/index.php. Links for both are in the region description box at the top of this page. We host game nights and movie nights from the discord server from time to time. On the forum we have RPs and spam games (not really related to NS). If you want a place to just chill and talk to friendly people, those are great spaces for that.
If you haven't already done so, please consider joining the World Assembly and endorsing the delegate (that's me!). Click the link to learn more information on what that means and how to do it. If you join the World Assembly, you can endorse as many other nations in the region as you want, and get endorsed in return. You'll also become a Refugia Member State, which means you can vote in our elections and get a spot on our map of Refugia! We currently have elections going on. If you become a member state now you'll have four months to get used to the community before the next elections in February!
If you have any questions, please let us know. Everyone here is really friendly- I think weve only ever had one fatality from an introduction. If you prefer to read something pre-written over asking, however, check out this dispatch: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1449847
Finally, if you are an alt nation (which just means if the nation tagged in this welcome message is not your main nation on NationStates), it is required by regional law for you to report your main nation and intentions in Refugia to the Operations Councillor (that's A Million Dreams!) Thanks so much.
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Zhar Ptitsa
its not hard to think that Genocide is bad tbh.
Seabarrel
Youd be suprised by what kind of people you can meet on these political games. Its appalling what people can say without facing consequences
Delta Vega Iv, Sylh Alanor
Anything having to do with your parliament or other government setups, for some reason almost every option lowers your integrity. Just make sure to closely read things and you should be fine.
Delta Vega Iv, Seabarrel
Thanks for the tip!
Sylh Alanor
i got one about transgender peopel beeing outraged at a teacher for calling them by theire wrong pronoun and i totaly understood the teachers argument, so i voted for him and then my country called transgender peopel by swearwords (which i do not approve) so that is that.
I feel like what happens after every decition is always so extreme cx
it do be like that XD
I swear employment and civil rights are the hardest thing to keep up, every option lowers my existing levels of it already, even if I choose options that are more business oriented it only goes up like 0.02 percent
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Amiyoka
According to the FAQ:
"The world is realistic but more so. There's a logic to how things work, but everything tends to gravitate to the most extreme outcome, with the largest consequences. Fear not, though: This also means it's usually easy to reverse the effects of earlier decisions."
I don't really agree, but I don't disagree.
i find it hard to have an economy that isn´t in shambles
Seabarrel
I only have 8.0% and with low tax rates means higher disposable income
well, we are socialists, and historically, socialists have had a hard time getting good when it comes to the economy. I could use some bad examples, but there are some good examples too so ill leave that to you find. And usually, that's because of influences from other powers, such as the US. (Oil being the R/Historymemes favorite)
Honestly though, good news is hard to find and i hate that
Commutia
My employment stat is going to be the death of me, it's so hard to keep up...
quick question too you. how does one have planets as theire currency?
The Planet Network!
Look at it here
scroll down to treaties.
The Planet Network
The Planet Network is Refugia's premier international monetary union. The official currency of all participating nations is the planet (℗), which is universally accepted within their territories. The Planet is managed by Floor 16 of the Admin Tower as a monetary authority. This currency union came into being Sept. 24th, 2019 with the ratification of the Digital Operations Treaty.
Treaty Requirements:
1. "planet" as national currency
2. Economic Freedom less than -20
3. Income Equality greater than 50
Present signatories:
Refuge Isle Sylh Alanor Waywards Edge
St Leone, Jazur
so i could technicly make this my currency aswell?
its so amazing how every single currency in the entire game have a 1:1 exchange rate :D
xD
Portmanteau, Jazur
i´ll be changin that, since my people think higher of em anyways
imma make mine worth more aswell XD
"The justice of Commutia is considered superior to that of other nations"
took from the description of my country (no joke)
ahahaha, and Leoneans took that personally.
Ask Refuge Isle, IF you qualify Only IF you qualify, and if you are a member state.
sorry bout ping
Post self-deleted by Sylh Alanor.
If you meet the criteria for The Planet Network (you do), then you can can be added to the currency union on the map.
You cannot get on the map, however, because you're not a Member State.

WESLR justice is freedom
(freedom from your oil)
amen brother
A clarification. This is a joke/truth. We buy oil, and turn it into sun oil. sun oil is used to make sun coal, which is then covered, and thrown into space, specifically into the sun. It extends the lifespan of the sun. We have eliminated our problem of gas and coal by literally throwing it away.
We also do Atoms for Peace, a way to give nations reliable access to nuclear power, fusion or otherwise. Also we take nuclear fuel and re enrich it, allowing for nuclear fuel to be 100% reusable. We also use thorium, a way to deny nukes to other nations, instead of uranium.
I think i am a member now.
( Tell me if i am wrong )
Now you're in the WA, you'll be a member state once you've been here for 7 days, so not yet but in a couple of days!
Sylh Alanor, Commutia
aight so its just waiting now
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta
would be fun to be added to the map at some point.
Not sure what I would want to enter in some of the fields.

So is this planet currency just a regular currency named planet because environmental friendliness or are you guys paying people in literal planets. And if thats the case? Are they life sized planets or little miniature ones?
Cheesy Tots, Typica, St Leone, Tiralta, Lovoreus Magnus
my question!
Lovoreus Magnus
that is- I- I have never thought about that before lol
Yes :itisso:
Tiralta
what does a yes mean in this case?
the sheer physical and scientific power of refugi bankers is unmatched
Tiralta
We need awnsers!

how much do you think wed be worth?
id like to think that i am worth a potato
The "planet" is the name of our chatbot Dot's in-game currency. It comes from the ManiaPlanet currency by the same name (https://doc.maniaplanet.com/client/planets) and our image is similar except based off the Refugia map instead of the IRL world's. In the distant past we used to make odd bets with them because they were so novel to use. You never really know when you'd get the ManiaPlanet planets, their name was incredibly abstract, and it wasn't really clear what (if anything) you could spend them on.
So sometimes you'd get a log-in bonus that said "This is your first time logging in in 286 days. You receive 783 planets!"
And you'd be like "Okay! 🤨😀🤨😀"
Anyway, now we have an "in-game" economy where the currency is the "planet". The last generation of the economy just finished up recently: https://calref.cc/index.php?topic=9.msg3868#msg3868

Tiralta uses stars, but planets are accepted in most places too.
Cheesy Tots, St Leone
yea in St. Leone we use the Leone krone, but Planets are also widely accepted, atleast in the big tourist destinations ^^
(Just . . If you go on a holiday in rural Leone, then you better have some Leone kroner with you cause they aint taking any planets out in the middle of nowhere lol)
Tiralta
i Guess i could also make the Planet an exeptet currency next to my original one.
Tiralta
why did so many of you say bagel its just thick round toast
no thats what she said jokes
wasn´t really some intteresting other stuff on the list tbh
Typica, Tiralta, Chong Qing, Commutia
this should become actual lore
Im back for more rp Ive been ill recently but Im back so whos up to pretend theres a war going on?(note I say this as a joke)(not the me being sick part thats true)
Also does anyone know if you can reverse a policy that was put in place because of a decision for a issue?
Yeah, within the next week or two you should get an issue that lets you reverse whatever policy you've added!
Rejakhta, Anatopen
Or double down on it, if you so choose
Tiralta
Very good because I clicked the wrong decision and now immigration is illegal

Why are so many of my people dying of heart disease? I don't have much pollution so that cant be it. can it?
There are also some industries like pizza delivery and beverage sales that could factor in, but I dont know the details on how all the stats interact.

I like art and there's a resolution on art called International Art Gallery so let's talk about art. Thread!
The resolution we're discussing starts off by establishing the Artistic Retention Trusteeship (ART) to maintain two galleries: a digital one (PAINT - The Publicly Available International Net Treasury) and a physical one (PIECE - The Public Institution for the Exhibition of Craft Expertise). For PAINT, ART is mandated to take digital records of all displayed artwork within consenting member-states, and to publish said records on a public website alongside any research for every piece. For PIECE, ART shall build and maintain the facility alongside a system where member nations can loan up to two artworks for a period of three years to PIECE. The rest of the resolution focuses on the specifics in setting up the galleries including ensuring artwork safety and obtaining consent of artists for PIECE-displayed artwork.
I think this resolution is amazing! Creating art museums for a wide array of member-nations is a really intelligent, really amazing idea. I visited a local art museum a few months ago and that was a pretty cool experience, so to have an art museum spanning a variety of nations is just super duper neat to me. The idea of PAINT is pretty innovative - I doubt most people would think of online art galleries when thinking of major international art initiatives. PAINT allows this resolution to be much more accessible, which is a great thing.
There are a few things that raise my eyebrow, though - particularly with PAINT. The records for PAINT seem to define a artworks nation as wherein that artwork is being displayed. This misses both a) recording whatever artworks a nation has that are not being displayed and b) potentially misplacing a displayed art piece if its on loan from a museum in another nation. I know WA entities are seen to operate perfectly, but there is a question of whether that assumption holds when the guiding resolution seems to have a conceptual error. Then again, Im not sure this is a really big deal - theres still a ton of art being displayed, and arguably it mostly matters on whether an author receives credit for the art - not necessarily the nation.
So - what do yall think on this?
