Well, you eat fruit by biting it soooo
will there just be wars for every stage of eating a fruit? xD
I dont wanna know what the last war is .w.
Jazur, Deg0Od
What were the fruit wars? Is that a local meme?
St Leone, Jazur, Deg0Od
They were a series of 3 wars over fruit
the 4th one was being talked about a while back but apart from the Spork War nothing really happened
last war is the fertilizer war and then the year counter overflows and we get sent back to the first fruit war

So that would be Chewing Wars(Quite different from biting), Swallowing Wars, Digesting Wars, and [Not actually saying this one] Wars. How fun.
St Leone, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
I have no military. :pleading:
I never said I would bite you... just that I could...
Typica, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
we will fight with you in case of war
not because it's necessarily the right thing to do but because fighting on the other side would be the wrong thing to do.

Schools shouldn't waste money on chromebooks imo

Agreed. As far as budget computers go, there are more useful and durable options.

My 7th grade chromebook could open at max like 3 tabs before crashing
either
A. My school bought cheap chromebooks
or
B. Chromebooks are just bad
Typica, St Leone, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od, Garredonne
true, even older generation hardware can still compete with a chromebook at a fraction of the cost

Whats the deal with the issues? I got the one about "everyone else is ramping up weapons production" and chose the option "known pacifist [...] says we shouldnt use violence but talk"

Couldn't copy the factbook:
Cier, a small country which a population of about 5.5 million. Is bordered by Hyria and Luxessa, both war-torn countries.
The military and police are the strongest forces in Cier other than the local mayor / governor. Unlike other countries, the military is controlled by the local governor, for example, the military of Azea is controlled by Claire Hassa.
Every 6 years, a new mayor / governor / prime minister is chosen. They are all chosen at the same date, a tradition of Cier.
The prime minister of Cier is Derek Avisa, who has won the past 7 elections and is currently 60 years old.
During the Cier war, Avisa took back control of the State of Kea ( which was independent for about 20 years ) , which boosted his already high popularity as a prime.
Cier as gone thru 2 wars, the Duru and Hyrian wars.
Some of the main cities are : Oris
Kea
Vea
Likaie
and Hyeaia.

Speaking of "Vicious Attack Beaver," we are close to rehabitating the formerly extinct Pleistocene Giant Beaver, Giant Armadillo, and (giant) Ground Sloth. If any of your geneticists wish to participate in our open source science exchange program, please send us a telegram, and we will explore re-slothification opportunities.
If anyone needs help improving their environment, we can help you out. It costs a lot of Ñs (Nuggets) but we also accept the Cheesy Tot currency. Remember, reintroducing extinct Pleistocene plants and animals usually helps stabilize struggling ecosystems.
This is of particular interest to hunter -gatherer, eco-science, and tourism-based industries!
Tot Tot for Now!

where did the 2nd map go?
Deg0Od
I don't know!
Deg0Od
The region halved in size since its creation and so it wasn't really needed anymore. Also, 1 map is definitely easier to keep track of than 2.
If we keep getting an influx of new roleplaying members like we are right now, though, we may end up getting another map in a little while (my guess is it'll be needed in like maybe 9-12 months at current rate of expansion, maybe even longer if smaller-population countries settle for essentially being citystates like the current population density guidelines seem to necessitate
IC, though, it's just not shown. The countries on it still exist and will remain there if they don't move over. Unfortunately, no new nations are going to be admitted to the map until it is needed again, and even then it may not exist in the same state it did. But RP can still go on there, even if it's not updated officially.
Typica, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od
To expand on this, Luca and I started doing the regional map in 2019 as one map. When it finally filled up (when we were at 700+ nations), Cat (Tiralta) began running a second map so people could still get spaces. That map was never included in my original regional map dispatch, which is the one that's currently pinned. And, since we removed 27 nations four days ago, there's plenty of space on just one map.
So yeah, nothing's really changed with the map. If someone wants to keep running the old map 2 as some sort of RP map, that's entirely cool with us. But as far as an official map goes, we never touched map 2, and we're simply continuing not to touch it.

I'm not doing war and I couldn't be online yesterday cus my pet passed away
another thing, "This is becoming a war", doesn't means that I'm starting a war. It means that we should stop talking about these biting things otherwise one will get angry and start war. All of us are friends so no wars.

Sorry to hear that. :( You will not have to live in fear of my bites.
Typica, St Leone, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Deg0Od, Garredonne
tbh I dont really care about these bites, my cat bit me like 100 times but i never cried. But I cried after I saw she died in front of me.
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Melenavenia, Junitaki-Cho, Jazur, Nahelia, Voinarx, Tay-Mania, Deg0Od, Garredonne
I put it a share for the svg into the dispatch now, but i don't know if it works
Melenavenia, Tiralta, Deg0Od
Awesome! It works! Thank you!
Tiralta, Ullrani, Deg0Od
Sorry about your cat. May you cherish the memories of her forever.
As for the wars, we start them all the time. At least we pretend to. That's a major part of nation-simulating. In real life, war is devastating, causing lots of death and suffering. Nation States gives Role-players the oppurtunity to simulate a war without any actual, physical consequences.
Of course, you are right in that we do not allow here serious verbal fighting, as that disrupts the message board and is counter-productive. I think most roleplaying is done on Discord or on the offsite forums anyway.
May your glorious nation and this entire region continue to flourish in peace!
Cheesy Tots, St Leone, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od, Tordinia
I'm very sorry for your cat, my cousin died a few years ago and I was very sad so I understand how you feel.

My condolences for your cat. And I know this is cliched, but know that as long as you remember her she lives on in your heart and memories.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, St Leone, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od, Tordinia
I'm sorry about your cat. I know that I wouldn't be able to handle losing a pet, and I can't imagine how tough it must be. We're here for you.

Aw damn. Really sorry for your loss.

Does anyone know why so many GA resolutions nowadays are authored by the Simone Republic?
Cheesy Tots, Typica, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od
kiwi bird
honestly they just write a lot
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Jazur, Ban Oldern, Deg0Od
not sure but it's something about a powerful group of WA writers all supporting each other and churning out medium- to low-quality resolutions that get instantly flooded with for votes by the Pacifics. Simone Republic posts a lot because they are a) an elder in the aforementioned cabal and b) has chosen to provide quantity over quality even moreso than the other members.
Now, granted, low-quality proposals are still better than a lot of proposals that are received and marked as illegal (or the few that manage to slip through and are batted down), and actual high-quality proposals are hard to come by (and then sometimes get repealed anyway pretty much immediately by one of the cabal members who disagreed with it [like, for example, Star Gazing Day, which was perfectly fine imo and the repeal was... not great. I had a few bones to pick at it, iirc.])

Hey folks, you may remember [nation=noflag]Tiralta[/nation]'s original C.A.R.D.S. Treaty (Collections of Artwork for Refugi Distribution and Sharing), which created a space for members to join and share cards in the pursuit of completing collections. As they detailed within:
"I'm just starting this treaty cause I know there are several folks in Refugia who collect cards, and I'd like a space to try and remember who collects what!"
Now that they have decided to step back from running it, I've taken it over and made some changes, though still attempting to retain that essential nature of the project a space for folks to submit card collections they're especially proud of, and a kind of database for others to check out the extant collections in the region, with the hope that it will continue to foster the sharing of cards among the community.
What I've removed are the stipulations. So now, anyone in the region is welcome to submit card collections for inclusion in this dispatch, with no further commitments required. So please feel free to send me a telegram if you'd like to see your collection entered. And if you already have a collection listed as a legacy from the previous version of the dispatch, let me know if you'd like the entry changed or simply removed altogether.
And thanks to Tiralta for their work in starting the project.

I have accidentally instituted capital punishment. On a temporary basis, all 11 billion residents of Refuge Isle will be relocated to Sylh Alanor. We will then inform Sylh Alanor.

Great question. It was taken away for about a century when the Kuviran Empire invaded, but was returned. There was something about a lucky scoundrel, but that was another time, another life really

That is a shame. Also do you have 11 billion sandwiches for today's lunch?

Of course. They're vegan, I hope that's not an issue

Of course, we love fish.

If residency is time since creation, and population cant be influenced, why are they not the same world rank? Or are my assumptions wrong?
Chacapoya
Residency is time in the same region. So to give an example, currently Poquaoi's population is almost three times mine because they were founded over 6 years before me, but my residency is almost three times theirs because I moved to Refugia about 2 years before they did.

Hello everyone, have you heard the good news about our lord and saviour map update? For the third time in two weeks, we've done a map update, and we can get away with doing this as often as we want!
In all honesty, there was such an influx of map applications, I felt it was necessary to get as many added to the map as possible so people would stop requesting the same areas of the map as others. There's so much land open in the east, but you all want this one island, I swear to god. It must end! I will sink the island if I must.
Added to the map this time are the following nations, who will receive complimentary confetti cannons to their doorsteps in the coming days (confetti cannons not included):
[*]Ban Oldern, home of the new Kaniso-Creolis culture,
[*]Duneraven, joining the Refugi culture (:D)
[*]Dutchformosa, joining the Mediterranean culture,
[*]Estebere, joining the Potato culture,
[*]Garredonne, home of the new Garretagnier culture,
[*]Pantumaca, joining the Mediterranean culture as well,
[*]Ullrani, home of the new Bukavian culture,
[*]Wodsustein, joining the Leonean culture!
Welcome to the map :D
We also have a couple announcements for the map. Over the last couple map updates, we've received a massive number of new cultures, most of which (but not all of which) were demonyms of the countries requesting them. Because of this, we've come up with a new rule that should provide some opportunities for RP and keeping true to the hope we'd originally had of cultures being shared things between countries on the map. As of today, January 17, 2024, any new culture requested must have at least two adherents at the time of request. This means that if you want a new culture, someone else must also be part of it.
The other announcement is a follow-up on the first map update of the year, in which I asked every Treaty leader to contact me with updated information about your treaties. I need new information because I haven't had any in like a year and a lot of your dispatches haven't been updated since you made the treaties. Anyway, literally nobody has contacted me, so I assume either treaties no longer exist??? or nobody saw it. So here it is again. Give me new information so I can actually update the treaty dispatch, or else it will never be updated again. Your choice, I don't have a gun to the dispatch's head, probably. Anyway, goodbye!

also yooo Ban Oldern exists now les go
well, what are you waiting for? I've got a few billion people's worth of potatoes ready to cut, tell me if you need any (and whether to make them regular cut, crinkle cut, or waffle cut)
I also have a few abandoned military bases for additional room if ur transit network get strained. if you send any people over they'll be perfectly safe, and most of them won't contract lycanthropy and plot to overthrow the government unless the government does a lycanthropy endorsement campaign discouraging avoiding getting turned into a werezoion :) that definitely hasn't happened before :) and I definitely didn't get my job as funny silly Banoldi representative due to my werezoionic involvement in this hypothetical happenstance :)

Ah yes, the trout fishing industry has been waiting for this. Theyre sending you an air drop of 19 trout, from the best our industry has to offer. Also pasta, shrimp, taco shells, lemons, and basil leaves. Go forth and make seafood pasta tacos.

I just finished the game "Purrgatory" and I really liked it the snake man did not make me cry shut up
The characters feel like real people, whom I would love to have as friends in real life.
Even though there's only 4-5 hours of playtime, it is 100% worth it, as it only costs those 4-5 hours (it's free on steam).
It is an incredibly deep game that I would recommend to everyone. Also, there are gay.

Unfortunately, you can't upload an image directly to the regional message board. All you can do is post a link, or upload it to an image hosting site (such as Imgur) and put it into a dispatch.

true
Golden was for Persona 4... are you thinking of Royal?
because I absolutely loved the third semester
the original Persona 5 was really good at having villains that you hated with your entire being, but the third semester was incredible at being morally ambiguous and I really like that for the Persona series
also, Throw Away Your Mask is one of the best songs in the whole series
