The Admins, Councillors and Mods would like to make it extremely clear that we will not tolerate or encourage drama around what's happened today. What Luca/Refuge Isle has posted is all we feel needs said.
This includes but is not limited to messaging us or anyone else in a nosy or harrassing manner, and distasteful posts on the RMB about topics strongly linked, such as the Fruit War. This shouldn't need spelled out, but many people in this region are feeling really sad right now, let's keep it respectful.
Engaging in behaviour seen to be stirring things up will result in an official warning before a ban.

Check out Black Swan and Starlight Brigade by TWRP! Both make me smile every time.
For a more classic example, I also like Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham. Just such a happy song.

I've always wanted to say the following here: What the sushi rice?
Sorry, I was in and out of a car for five hours today, so I'm slightly confused. Also, (What needn't be said shan't be said). Anywho, (No spoilers).
Perhaps the song 'World's Smallest Violin'. It's quite good, and I heard it (No lying) fine, twice on the afformentioned(Haha I can't spell) road trip. Oh, and I found a piano version of it by... I think sheet music boss. One moment, (Ha, you think this is needed?(Yes, of course it is)) I was correct.
Wow I just checked Scratch(and Youtube) and it seems like all sushi rice has broken lose (FOR ONE THING, THERE IS A FRED BREAD CULT). For more information, go to (Oh no you don't) because I swear, Scratch has (By Scratch, I mean the one made by Mit).
To conclude, sushi rice means H E double hockey sticks. Thank you for your time, and have a good morning/afternoon/evening.
Edit: Is it just me, or am I going to regret posting this?
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur
yes you are going to regret posting this
Jazur
Honestly, I might. And? It won't be the first time. (Ok but seriously what is going on with these Scratch cults first there was the Cat Maid Cult, and then the Tuxedo Cult, and then the Carameldansen Cult, and now there is a Fred Bread Cult, and it all started because of Seek)
Jazur
I'm not entirely certain I understand all of this but I will check out the song XD
Chacapoya, Jazur
That's... kind of the point.
Edit: No, I'm going to put off the (No Spoilers) again.

hi
Portmanteau, Jazur
check my dispatch from yesterday
"Weekend" by Dr. Dog
It makes me think of younger, carefree days and old friends.
"Lovely Day" by Bill Withers
Self-explanatory :)
I enjoyed your choices. Hadn't heard of Milo Greene before, but they're right in my wheelhouse, so glad you picked them. That "1957" song was great, though the music video was quite bittersweet.
Chacapoya, Typica, Tiralta, Jazur
I've only heard where'd all the time go by dr. dog and i used to be obsessed with it and listen to it on loop. I should listen to more of their stuff tbh.

I find them to be pretty great, for the right moods. They're from my area, so I've seen them live a bunch, and I highly recommend it.
Just an fyi, they have two different singers, and they alternate as lead vocalist. Creates kind of a cool dynamic, as you listen through the songs on an album. So the song that you mentioned (which is great) has a different singer than the song that I mentioned. In case you were put off by the change.
Chacapoya, Lethodus, Sylh Alanor, Jazur
hi
Chacapoya, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Jazur
This song is lovely. It certainly has a different vibe, but it makes for a fun change. Any other songs you'd recommend?

How do i set up a treaty on the map?
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Jazur, West Remeshile
It's included in the map dispatch. You'll just want to fill out the questions in the zones and treaties section and telegram your answers to Sylh Alanor
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Jazur
"Old News"
"My Old Ways"
These two songs start off my favorite album of theirs, "We All Belong". I think they're a good showcase of the two very different singers and styles of the band. And I can no longer think of one without the other :P There's also "Alaska", "Worst Trip"...the whole album is just so good, though.
Other songs from other albums:
"Shadow People"
"Hang On"
"Army of Ancients"
"The Ark"
Hope you find some others you enjoy. It was fun for me to go back and remember all of these songs.
Edit: from Portmanteau forgot what nation I was signed into :P

Oh boy, I sure do love making a decision regarding what should be on national TV and somehow affecting the food quality of my nation.
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Aephony, Jazur
Speaking of the map, Ive been thinking about applying to have my nation put on there. I just need to figure out where I want to try to put it and how to reconcile it with the fact that my nation is just the states of Oregon and Washington together (that have apparently been magically transported to this region). The northwest of the map seems like the most obvious choice but if the whole country was teleported here then it could go anywhere.
Theres also the culture, since no new cultures are being added. Im not sure which one Id like to borrow.

If you wouldn't mind, how would you open a discussion/analyse the at-vote proposal, "Ship Breaking and Recycling Protocol"?
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Jazur
Thank you :D
Chacapoya, Jazur
Well, first I would start by saying that while the writing of the proposal "Shop Breaking and Recycling Protocol" seems a bit basic, and while it does seem less like a list of guidelines to adhere to, and more like a list of orders given to a subordinate in an office or military installation, the basic premise is sound. There should be, in my opinion, a designated place for WA ships that have been decommissioned or otherwise critically damaged to be broken down and recycled. Not to mention that those ships that have not been broken down and summarily recycled towards other purposes cause an extreme environmental hazard in the long term. However, it doesn't state what hazardous materials would be hauled upon ships that are on their final voyage, nor does it give guidelines as to how to correctly dispose of those unspecified hazardous materials. All in all, I would personally vote against this proposal, but I'd also like to hear more thoughts on it, in case I incorrectly stated something.

Should I start a second account and create a new country (I'd still focus on this account more)? I'm not sure, what do y'all think?
Tiralta, Jazur, Amiyoka
I'd say go for it! I have several other countries and it makes a good time-filler when I'm waiting for issues or have nothing to do when it comes to Amiyoka.

I like it personally, it could have different colors though. That might help it stand out.
Sylh Alanor, Aephony, Jazur, Amiyoka, Funf
It's fun to have new countries I think. I keep intending to make a country that tries to focus on eco-friendliness and technology, like a kind of solarpunk thing sometime, but I wanna make sure I'll actually give it attention.

Hello everybody! I'm Swedesttanossa, and I'm from TWI. I heard about this region because of Tiralta's Eco-Report, and I can give my name because recently I've increased my Environmental Beauty and Eco-Friendliness. You can see my graphs here (finally I got a region where NS Stats are used).

Wait, you gotta run for it! dictatorship bad.

This candidacy is not accepted.
Under RRS 11, only Member States qualify to vote and run for office. While it's very easy to become a Member State, and you will in fact qualify at your present condition by simply remaining in the region, you do not currently fit the criteria with a residency of one hour.

Hey Refuge Isle. I am campaigning for COFR (Councillor of Foreign Affairs).
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1773860
But, how to become a member state? I can't understand it...
Nothing stops you from campaigning, but your name will not appear on the ballot. I have already declined the candidacy on the grounds on not being a Member State.
From the big red dispatch in the big red box:
4. Member States are defined as World Assembly Residents that have resided within the Region for a period not less than seven days.

Post self-deleted by Tiralta.
So, I can't even campaign... because I've just arrived, and the elections are ending in a few days... but, if I was a member state, then my campaigning was accepted?
Right. In Refugia, we have a seven day residency + WA status requirement. Among other things, this prevents people from abusing our electoral system by casting fraudulent votes across multiple accounts.
From a practical standpoint, and the reason I wrote that law when I originally founded this region, you need to show that you have at least a non-zero level of dedication to staying in the region. And as someone who got here two hours ago, I have absolutely no idea if you'll leave in the next five minutes, especially after the unforgivable crime of being told "no" one time ever. Refugia needs a better indication of stability than that if you want to vote, let alone have a leadership position in a region of 550 people. Across my ten years of NS, I have never heard of a region that allows you to run for office when you arrive in the region *after* the election starts.
The positive news I can offer is that you will be able to *vote* in the elections, on this day, a week from now. That is when Nightly would add your name to the Member State list.

OK, I'll give my name in the next election. I can vote, but can you please tell me the time period between elections? Also, how to *vote*? By writing it in RMB or by sending someone a TG?
I believe that the time period between elections is shown in the RRS, And as far as I know there will be a poll on Oct. 8.
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur
Yep! If you check RSS 12 we have election periods and voting information. We have voting on an external site open to member states.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1200707
You should be a member state by the end of the voting period so youll be able to vote in this round of elections!

Woah! Next year? Fine...
How to include myself in Tiralta's October Eco-Report 2022...because I've really worked hard to increase my Environmental Beauty and Eco-Friendliness. I like raised my Environmental Beauty from 1231.3 to 1391.4 and my eco-friendliness from 3978.3 to 4233.5 in a month.
Or should I wait for the next month's report?
Four months, really. Plenty of time to get to know the community you've entered and see people acting within the positions so you know what you're interested in doing/accomplishing.
