Hey everyone, you've probably been pinged in the dispatch (everyone was pinged on the dispatch), but here's a more formal announcement that we're entering GREEN WEEK. If you're determined to tl;dr the dispatch, here's what you need to know:

[list][*]Raise your Environmental Beauty through answering issues!

[*]The event lasts for 10 days! (That's 50 issues)

[*]Winners will be determined by raw improvement and percentage improvement!

[*]This would have been on Earth Day but the site was dead![/list]

To go with the event, we've decorated the region page, and have a thematic regional wallpaper available in the Graphics Repository. Go check it out :D

Paper Airplane events are really easy, here's how you win

[spoiler=secret sauce]

turn your paper into a ball and chuck it as hard as you can. Aerodynamics be damned, gravity is going to pull that airplane to the ground. Crushing your plane into a ball of paper isn't aerodynamically efficient, but the force of the throw is far better than anything you can produce with lift.

Source: Aerospace Engineering Father

TLDR: Paper Airplanes should be called Paper Gliders; Turn your Paper Glider into a ball and chuck.

It is not necessarily 50 issues; that is best case scenario. Ideally. Though you do not tend to always get a clean sweep and there are issues that seem to not impact Environmental Beauty at all. So it will be more likely that some issues will help, but not all 50.

In my case, I still hold on to a few issues that raise some interesting topics that I plan to write some dispatches about, so I will only get like two to three every 12 hours.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that "uncomfortable behavior" does not fall under unruly conduct, especially if it's followed up by an apology when confronted about it. Perhaps, though, as one of the newer members, I am not quite as knowledgable on the RSS and its history, and if anyone knows better, please feel free to correct me.

Hi, I'd like to invoke my rights as a Resident under RRS (9d), for a legality challenge regarding the Banjection and subsequent unbanning of Uwuguaya, under RRS (2a). I will file an amicus brief, below.

Appreciations,

E. W.E

[spoiler=Amicus Brief]

May it please the Refugia Council,

Uwuguaya's Conduct, under RRS 2a, was not sufficient to warrant a Banjection. Under RRS (2a) there has to be "Unruly conduct, where the offending Resident has not been receptive to intervention." [1] Uwuguaya was never given an intervention of any form, be it on the RMB or on discord. Using RRS 2a in this manner would set a future precedent that Banjections could occur without a given intervention.

Moving past that, if Banjections can occur at the discretion of Refuge Isle, as they themselves point out that RRS (2a) is not sufficient to carry substance in this banjection [2]. If this is allowed, the future precedent that behavior people find to be uncomfortable could become standard practice. If this becomes standard practice, this could lead to future Banjections of any person Refuge Isle simply doesn't like, and could lead to the undermining of RRS.

I argue Uwuguaya's Banjection is illegal because

1. It does not fit the criteria of RRS (2a) [1]

2. Refuge Isle's actions indicate an extreme misuse of power.

3. Refuge Isle admits that RRS (2a) [2] should not have been used in this Banjection, rendering Uwuguaya's Banjection Illegal under RRS (2a). [1]

So may it please the Council.

Moving past that, if Banjections can occur at the discretion of Refuge Isle, as they themselves point out that RRS (2a) is not sufficient to carry substance in this banjection [2]. If this is allowed, the future precedent that behavior people find to be uncomfortable could become standard practice. If this becomes standard practice, this could lead to future Banjections of any person Refuge Isle simply doesn't like, and could lead to the undermining of RRS.

I argue Uwuguaya's Banjection is illegal because

1. It does not fit the criteria of RRS (2a) [1]

2. Refuge Isle's actions indicate an extreme misuse of power.

3. Refuge Isle admits that RRS (2a) [2] should not have been used in this Banjection, rendering Uwuguaya's Banjection Illegal under RRS (2a). [1]

So may it please the Council.

They're unbanned from the region so there's nothing to appeal.

RRS (9d), as interpreted, allows me to "solicit an official Regional ruling, opinion, or position from the Regional Council." [1] I am requesting an Official Regional Ruling, and am challenging the legality of your actions, not to overturn Uwuguaya's Banjection, which has already occurred.

[spoiler=Footnotes:]

[1] "9. All Residents within the Region have the right to solicit an official Regional ruling, opinion, or position from the Regional Council, and delivered by a representative thereof, on subjects of:

a. A Foreign Affairs policy, position, or perspective.

b. The status of a Member State.

c. Challenges regarding any ejection or barring of nations from the Region, where a majority of the Regional Council may reverse the action.

d. Challenges regarding the legality of activity by a Councillor or their staff, where a majority of the Regional Council may reverse the action."

Very good! My ultimate goal is to be the most secular nation in the world, and my stat was hovering at the 780-81 rank for a while, so a small increase is very good.

I got the world-class fashion industry banner with manufacturing sector at zero and retail industry at negative. Are the brands opening online stores and import everything?

Building a monorail lowers your eco-friendlines. I guess the work it takes to clear a path for the tracks and for actually manufacturing the tracks (or the beam if it's a hanging one) is somewhat environmentally damaging, but at the end of the day it's a long-term investment, so I think the issue should actually raise that stat.
