Check the forum side. It's pretty clear that Fort Concord is just an alt from Quebecshire. It's a coin-flip which account the person behind them will respond to comments with, and the signature on Fort Concord says "Outpost on the frontier of Quebecshire."

For the record nobody is required to have their vote affected by mine, vote how you feel. I'm just required by regional law to explain my vote if it's against the majority lol

Hi y'all, sorry I've been out for a while, anyone wanna have a competition to design a prestigious college for their countries?

Tiralta, Estebere, Chong Qing, Lycanjeskai

We could have until 2/12/23 (next Sunday) to create a dispatch detailing the campus/its history/majors and degrees available/websites/etc. I can create a google form if anyone is interested, and the decision of the most prestigious University/College/Institute could be made with a vote.

I can also post a guide for how to add images/links/etc

Looks like the vote is still even, even with exemption votes -- 15/15

Every day, an Ohioan is told that their state doesn't exist. But with just one small vote, you can change their life.

Vote for The State of Ohio in this round to say "oh, hi yo!" today!

I’m choosing to believe the millions of my citizens that keep getting lost in the woods aren’t dying, they’re simply choosing to join the super secret wilderness society. They just want to live in the woods and never be found for whatever reason, but they’re perfectly fine.

Oh same! In my lore, a large amount of the land is intentional wilderness, so when people die from getting lost there, they're simply choosing to not live in the society I've created but one that's more at one with nature in that wilderness zone. I'm very okay with that.

The next page shall be posted when the vote begins. Subsequent pages will be unlocked by numbers of votes for Necromancy Badger. So that one day they may face (presumably) the state of Ohio.

What sort of stuff would you like to know more about? The main bits of NationStates (in my opinion) are:

- Issues: those questions you answer about your nation. They can lead to badges and sometimes you can get special issues called Easter Eggs! You can also help write issues, but definitely draft them on the forums first!

- World Assembly: endorse everyone else in Refugia to gain influence stat faster, vote on proposed international laws and declarations, and even write your own (again, draft it in the forums first).

- Regional fun! At the moment we have the Battle of All Things (BOAT) run by Refuge Isle and a postcard competition run by Chacapoya. In a few days we'll have our regional elections for officer roles, and you can chat on the RMB (this message board). If you're in the World Assembly and Refugia for 7 days, you can be a member state and vote in BOAT, elections, and get on the regional map.

- Cards: you get these by answering issues. Sell them or junk them to get bank, which can be used to bid on cards you want more. You can create whatever collections you like, and the more value your deck has, the higher your international artwork stat will go.

- Raiding/defending: I don't really know much about this cause I'm not involved in it, but basically some people use the power of fast reflexes and arcane knowledge of update times to either raid another region or defend it from being raided. Remember all that lovely World Assembly influence though? That protects us from a raid if anything ever happens to the region's founder Refuge Isle! As a neutral region, Refugia doesn't side with either of these factions, although many folks here are involved in R/D with other nations.

- Other stuff: there's a challenge minigame which doesn't affect your nation but is fun, you can write factbooks and develop your nation's lore, and the main NationStates forums have RP if that's your bag!

And also, stuff that isn't NationStates but is a fun thing you can do here, Refugia is the NationStates wing of a wider community called CalRef! We have a discord and a forum with game and movie nights, spam games, a book club, and lots of lovely people who like to chat!
