Sometimes the issues you receive will be prompted by previous answers, or otherwise somehow take into account past responses and policies, but often the issue arrives randomly and without tailoring.
For this issue, in particular, I suppose you could be keeping the people's best interests in mind when making decisions, but still anger the other political elite that runs the country - upper class folk, patricians, nobles, etc. Because that minister's complaint sounds much more like a personal slight than any sort of concern for the citizenry.

I have bad, or at least irritating, news! I hate the name "Pom Lunce" a whole lot and I'm gonna start a new nation just to fix it. As such, I will be leaving the WA on this one. Is it preferable for me to leave the region and only join on my new nation or stay in this and join again on the new one anyway?
I'm ex-Pom Lunce!

Hello Refugia! It's time for a World Assembly discussion post. This one is on End Collective Punishment.
End Collective Punishment is a proposal to- you wont see this one coming- it proposes to end collective punishment, or simply to prevent people from being punished by virtue of connections to a criminal even if they did nothing unlawful.
Hard to argue against, to be honest. The only exceptions to the no collective punishment section is membership in a proscribed organization and actions committed under the authority of that punished person. I suppose Im for.
What are your thoughts?

One day in high school gym class, the teacher got really angry about people supposedly slacking off and not doing what they were supposed to recently, and he made us all do really exhausting drills and yelled at us even though most of us weren't at fault.
Full support.

Collective punishment is grossly unethical and ought to be ended.

You know, I keep forgetting that I'm not the only Ancient Egyptian-inspired Nation here. XD But yeah, I'll take a looksie! :)

Did you guys know that 1 million seconds ago was a week ago, while 1 billion seconds ago was in 1990? That really confused me for some reason,
it just shows the difference between million and billion.

That's how I felt when I first heard that old legend about the grains of rice on the chessboard:
The story goes, a king wanted to reward one of his servants for an exceptional act. The servant asks the king to go and fetch their chessboard, and then to place on the first square a single grain of rice. On that first day, the servant will take that grain of rice home to feed their family. But on the second day, the king will place two grains of rice on the second square for the servant to take home. On the third day, double the amount of rice grains again, resulting in four grains of rice for the servant, and each day after, continue doubling the number of grains until rice has been placed on every square of the chessboard.
The king readily agrees to the request, pleased that it would be a simple thing to fulfill the man's wishes. But after a few days of this, one of the king's advisors approaches the ruler and tells him that he had been doing some calculations. It may seem an insignificant number now, but by the time the king begins to fulfill the squares on the second half of the chessboard, the amount of rice required would begin to take a significant toll on grain stores. And when it comes time to fulfill the final and 64th square, there wouldn't be enough rice in all the kingdom to meet the demand.
The story is meant to illustrate exponential growth to a student. As well as, perhaps, the dangers of being too clever for one's own good, as in many of the versions of the tale, the king winds up putting the servant to death.

I have posed a new question of existential significance to the region: https://www.nationstates.net/region=refugia#poll
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Tiralta
Even if the snail wasn't there I wouldn't accept the money. I'd probably get arrested for hyperinflation and magical money laundering 😖
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta
I dont want infinite money, but, supposing I did, could I kill the snail? Does the snail eventually die of natural causes? Or is it an immortal snail? Also, can I live on a salt flat?
Typica, Floofybit, Liphia, Lac Champlain, Tiralta, Polushia
The snail is a ghost snail. It can pass through walls and protected from both salt and death.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Adawu, Tiralta, Polushia
I would make friends with the snail!!!! Invertebrates are absolutely my jam and I adore snail babies.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
Ultimately I am privileged/fortunate enough to prefer my current situation over infinite money coupled with an ever-pursuant paranormal murder-snail.
Delta Vega Iv, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
Oh yeah, while I'm thinking about it, elections for the Regional Council begin in a week and a half. It's a good time to think about what, if any, positions you guys might be interested in running for
Chacapoya, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Lac Champlain, Tiralta
How do you die if it touches you?
If the snail can pass though walls then I think I will continue to live my non-infinite money life.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
define death
there's probably a way to permanently destroy the snail and permanently incapacitate it without killing it
Ooooh that's an interesting question, I'd never thought about that being a factor when I've heard that question.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit
What if you only travel to places that are only available by train or something like that so that its forced to crawl to you at a (literal) snail's pace? (you said that the magic is that it can board flights)
What kind of snail can board flights but not trains?
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Floofybit
Well they said flights specifically
"The average income tax rate is 60.4%"
I think my nation may have a developing issue
Floofybit, Tiralta, Daesonsemon
I've seen nations with worse tax rates. Much worse.
Typica, Floofybit, Liphia, Adawu, Tiralta
Mine is 95.4% and still on the rise and I commonly see nations with 100% 😳
Typica, Refuge Isle, Liphia, Tiralta, Daesonsemon
I am trying lower it but also have good economy. Which is hard. I am really confused how Honeydewistania managed to do it.
Also, if you have more than 100% income taxes, does that mean your nation will drive you to debt because of taxes?
Delta Vega Iv, Refuge Isle, Tiralta
Mine's 92.96% and not even a 1% badge to show for it 😎
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Refuge Isle, Floofybit, Liphia, Aephony
My nations is 91.6%! I dont mind having a high tax rate if the human development index is high and the money goes to things that improve quality of life instead of the military.
Typica, Refuge Isle, Floofybit, Liphia, Inaros Opa, Adawu, Tiralta, Kaltea
I have a very important question. Which is bunk bed is better, top or bottom?
Chacapoya, Refuge Isle, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Aephony, Tiralta
Space flights too!
Chacapoya, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
The top one
Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
Bottom for sure. If you're exhausted, you don't have to climb a ladder to get to your bed. If you wake up in the night and need a drink, you don't have to navigate a ladder in the dark. If you're injured, you don't have to worry about how you're getting into bed.
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Kaltea
The bottom. I would hate having a bad dream and rolling out of bed 2 meters from the ground. (Or especially when my zone is fairly prone to earthquakes)
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta, Nametane
I am inclined to say bottom, but only if the top is sufficiently high that hitting one's head is unlikely. I'm rather tall and very clumsy, so it's a major concern.
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
Easter egg four!
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
Top. You can assert your dominance over whoever sleeps below you.
Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Tiralta
But the person below can kick you in the back if you snore at night!
Typica, Araine, Floofybit
I sleep on a top bunk and I have to say it fills me with a sense of superiority
Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats, Tiralta, Kaltea
They never said you cant trap the snail...
Floofybit
How would you trap it if it is a ghost snail and can phase through walls???
Chacapoya, Typica
Surround it with non-wall surfaces, like sideways floors and ceilings
Chacapoya, Refuge Isle, Araine, Floofybit, Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats, Kaltea

If anyone has seen the horror film, "It Follows," the snail discussion got me thinking...

It depends. The top is more fun to sit on during the day (you can survey your surroundings and its just objectively cooler), but it can get really hot up there without air conditioning, and I cant sleep when its hot. The bottom is better for sleeping because its more cozy and less exposed, plus you can get out of bed without having to jump or climb down a ladder in the middle of the night. However, the bottom is terrible if there is not enough room to sit up fully or if the person on top moves around a lot in their sleep, and, unless its roomy, its not very nice to spend time on during the day (which sucks if you dont have a couch).

i guess while everyone else was relying on the bot on discord, i was also looking at the activity tab to check the people who move to the region :)

I admire your dedication. Your prize is well-deserved.
That's nice.
EDIT:
I just found my own 4th! Coincidence? (This is the only nation where I found 4). Is it something in the Region's water?

Has anyone been to norway

I have not Id like to potentially spend a year WWOOFing there, though. It depends on whether or not my disabilities become more manageable and whether there are opportunities where knowing Norwegian isnt a prerequisite (Id like to learn it through immersion rather than beforehand). Have you been to Norway?

Howdy howdy. I've written up a draft for updating our environmental goals in the RRS. Please give it a look, and yell at me for problems or mistakes if necessary, give thoughts or maybe a second. Thanks homies.

Hello Refugia! It's time for a World Assembly discussion post. This one is on Crime Victims' Rights Act.
CVRA aims to help victims of crime out by protecting them from the accused, allowing them to hear critical moments of the trial, forcing those accused and convicted of damaging property to reimburse the crime victim, and referring them to support resources.
My biggest issue is probably the very confusing, windy definitions. This is the definition of a crime victim, the crux of the proposal:
Like hello? I think what this is trying to say is "person who has allegedly been harmed in a (list) manner, or has been threated to be harmed due to the lawlessness of another, who is not also accused of a crime stemming from the same incident." It's wonky, though. I can't say I'm 100% for, but I don't think I'm against, either.
What are your thoughts?

Man thats a good idea the only problem being Id probably end up forgetting I where I hid them.

Yeah, even for someone with minimal knowledge of WA affairs, I thought the definitions were needlessly complicated, like who the accused is kinda speaks for itself. But despite that, if the proposal does what the author intended and there are no weak points other then excessive and confusing wording, is there a reason to block it?

Have you volunteered with WWOOF before? I spent a couple months working on farms in southern Europe through the program, now over a decade ago. At least at the time, and in that locale, there were tons of places where knowledge of the native language wasn't required. I got the impression that the sort of folks who would want to involve their farms with something like WWOOF, are often the sort of folks who would tend to go out of their way to make the opportunity quite welcoming to internationals. I definitely did come across some places that were primarily concerned with just getting free labor, or were somewhat more provincial than might be expected, but they seemed to me to be the exception. On top of all that, my understanding is that Scandinavia has extremely high rates of English as a second language, so I bet you'd have even more success than my own experience in the south.
[spoiler=For those not familiar with WWOOF]World Wide Organization of Organic Farms is sort of a network of volunteer-friendly farms in countries all around the world, and they facilitate making connections between those looking to volunteer somewhere abroad, with farms in the region that will host them. The folks who own the farm, often just a family, will give you a place to stay and provide meals, while you provide your labor in exchange. And you'll have time off to explore and do touristy things, should you so desire. So it's both a cheap and easy way to see places in the world you may not otherwise have a chance to, as well as an opportunity to learn about organic farming from folks who are extremely knowledgeable and inclined towards teaching. I had good experiences with them.[/spoiler]

can I roleplay here? or does it have to be somewhere else?
I just read the CVRA proposal and honestly? I feel the same. I do think protecting the victim of an alleged crime is necessary, especially during the most delicate moments of the legal process, but... it does feel wonky. I've seen there's quite a split opinion in this Region, too, so I'm a bit hesitant.

Honestly, I think it restricts the abilities of both the prosecution and defense too much, and can be easily exploited. It feels very loose. I'd support a bill like this if it was clearer, more firm, and a little less open to exploitation.

I am new to all of this stuff, but it also seems to contain quite a bit of redundancy. It's already unacceptable for anyone to harass, stalk, harm, or threaten another person.
