The Battle of All Things II: Match Update
Who could have forgotten to restrict the poll to WA only? Surely not me, that was most definitely someone else.
Still, regardless of that oversight, only WA votes were counted in this poll, plus the WA exemptions granted by the regional council. This means that the valid poll votes were 23 votes for a Vicious Army of Attack Beavers, 25 for Karl Marx. The exemption votes that were cast via the RMB maintained this lead, bringing the end total to 24-27, in favour of Karl Marx.
The Pacific Northwest receives a Season 2 Testlandia as disaster relief funding for devastation that will be cause by the beaver army being sent back home.
The voting for match G begins immediately, with Potato vs. The Salt Flats

Additionally, Dot betting is now open for match H.

Yeah they should really work on their staging, completely different from their music video.
Now that we are talking about it, it would be cool if we (or the councilor of culture) could arrange an event in the region similar to eurovision like 'Refugivision'.
Of course we cant make full songs, maybe some simple beats or by using some ai generator.

Hey Refugi, here is an opinion drop on the upcoming GA proposal.
The GA proposal next in the queue, Repeal: Drug Decriminalization Act (https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=magecastle_embassy_building_a5_1675190111), seeks to repeal a resolution (https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_past_resolution/id=577/council=1) that Sylh Alanor (and likely the majority of Refugi because of the lack of official statement on the resolution) supported. SEE: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1577514
The previous attempt for this proposal to be repealed was voted against by Sylh Alanor and Rejakhta but it was of dubious quality (https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=523731&hilit=Repeal%3A+) and frankly this new proposal to repeal the Drug Decriminalization Act is much better written, and the author of the failed repeal had no intentions of submitting a replacement (https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=39953919&sid=17996de72e014b6b2dcb020866c6ee26#p39953919).
The author of the resolution that is being sought to be repealed by this also supports the repeal (https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=40251019#p40251019) and a replacement is in the works (https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=526265).
It seems like a repeal that we should support, as they seem to wish to close perceived loopholes in the standing resolution, which we supported, and replace it with a better proposal.
However, I welcome discussion and questions on this upcoming resolution.

I was fully against it. It felt like a lot of the previous proposal attempt was poorly written and spur of the moment.

Thank you! And sorry for my uncertainty! That'll be amended ASAP.

We had the 20th birthday just there in November!
Howdy.
The next SC resolution in the queue likely to gain enough approvals to go up to vote is "On The Artworks Of Defunct Nations" (https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=drew_durrnil_1677745325) which is a declaration about the status of trading cards of defunct nations. The author wishes to discourage the hoarding, destruction, and inflation of these trading cards, as well as encourage the 'proud display' of or sale of such cards.
Reading through the forum (https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=530691), it seems that most people there supported the declaration, and I personally don't have any qualms with making it at least somewhat easier to get your hands on the cards of defunct nations.
But as is the nature of declarations... they don't do anything really. So, while I think it's an idea we should vote in favor of, if you want to vote against because of the uselessness of declarations--then be my guest. I doubt that anything will change in regards to these cards, and I believe it is fair to say that the only thing that would is a change by those tech wizards running this site from the shadow realm.
Of course, I welcome discussion and questions on this upcoming resolution.

Personally in favour. It's symbolic plight of tiny card players who can't complete their collections because of that one single expensive card. *screams in obsession*

guys! what your favorite fast food place? mines Culver's
Portmanteau, Tiralta
Subway!
Portmanteau, Tiralta
Popeyes!

I'm a fan of A&W, but there's a local Greek fast food place and it's legit some of the best food.
Melenavenia, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai
Wikipedia. Probably the site I frequent the most. Been really cool to see how the place has evolved since its early days. And it's something of a holdout from the days of optimism of what the internet could have been.
Dairy Queen. I'm a sucker for ice cream, and they've got pretty good burgers too.
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai
I do not need fast food restaurants that consume your money, health, and hope.

True, but kinda like Amazon, I would be unable to live without my Burger King

Melenavenia, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Florescu, Nashfilla
If were talking about chain restaurants, definitely A&W. But theres a greek food truck near me and the food they sell is absolutely incredible.
Melenavenia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, Nashfilla
There's a small sandwich shop near me where the sandwiches are nice and the staff are really friendly. Fast food chains are kinda mid.
Araine, Portmanteau, Jazur, Nashfilla
Tweet! Tweet Tweet Tweet Tweet Tweet Tweet.
Ok, Im a translator
Taco Bell and Zaxby's.
I've never even seen an A&W in real life. My grandmother is obsessed with their root beer sodas though. Maybe its also because of the type of area I live but there is a Greek restaurant near where I live, but nothing like you guys describe.

Oh man, I spend an embarrassing amount of time scouring random Wikipedia pages. I'll start with something specific I want to learn more about, then I'll see a related article within that one, then another one in the next, etc etc. Happened recently with Theodore Roosevelt

Anthems wouldnt be great, simply because not everyone has one and they arent like fun to listen to over and over again. Id recommend just having people choose their songs. Also, I recommend joining WorldVision if youre into EuroVision! You can find it in the nationstates tab of the forum.
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Florescu
I have never heard of Greek fast food. What do they sell there?
Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur
Pita wraps mostly. They'll fry up some falafel (or something else if you're into that sort of thing) and make a wrap real quick.
Narwhal, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur
Honestly, Taco Bell. The Doritos Locos Taco is GOOD.

I honestly was not expecting the beavers to be as popular as they were, Im still surprised they even made it past the initial culling of entries.
I can confirm the armys return has resulted in the loss of millions more lives. Our ploy to get rid of them by sending them to fight in the battle has failed and human and tree are being gnawed on even more indiscriminately than usual. Whether this is because theyre upset they lost or because they just missed chewing on bones has yet to be determined. The disaster relief fund is much appreciated, we sure do need it.

Yeah, it's almost addictive. Sometimes I have to consciously remember the way it was before Wikipedia and information from the internet, in general, in order to fully appreciate it. Previously, if you had a notion to learn about Teddy Roosevelt, you had to leave your home and go to a library (hopefully it was during business hours), then either go root through the card catalog or speak with a librarian to find a relevant book on the topic. Or, if you're fortunate enough, your family had a set of encyclopedias weighing down some bookshelf, but the information was always kind of limited in there. It's a cliche to say nowadays, but it's just wild how much information awaits us at our fingertips now...
This is lowkey very impressive.
