Region: Refugia
We don't have a regional currency. There is the Planet Network which is currently signed by Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor and Waywards Edge and can be read about in the following dispatch:

I have made an (incomplete) currency exchange thing, tell me if you want anything changes or a currency added (Currency additions are a [I]pain[/I] so it may take a while)

So just for future reference if I ever unendorse you, it's because in the current roleplay my country has severed ties with yours (war, diplomatic spat, loss of recognition, etc., etc.,)
Uwuguaya
Oh, interesting. Now that I think about it, would it be possible for me to write a show for that network?
Jazur, New Atlantic, Uwuguaya
I request that you add the currencies of all current signatories of the Triquetra Concordat

Hi there, people of Refugia!
I would like to extend an invitation to all nations to join RISDU \o/
The Refugi Industrial and Social Developments Union!
Here is an overview of who we are and what we do: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1793918
If you're interested, send me a Telegram ^^

Refugia Adventure: Choose Your Own Regional Adventure: A series of polls where we go on an adventure together is beginning! Who knows what paths this shall take us down, or what characters we may meet.
First, let's pick our theme.
https://www.nationstates.net/region=refugia#poll
Typica, Araine, Jazur, New Atlantic, Thingessness
It should be Refugi Magic
Tiralta, Jazur, Thingessness
Unless there's one far and away winner I'll try to include at least a couple of the favourites :D that's a good idea!
Typica, New Atlantic, The Blue Fire
Okay but since Refugia is environmentalist oriented it should definitely have aspects of the forest stuff.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, St Leone, Tiralta, Uwuguaya, Thingessness
I'd be willing to third this
Jazur, Uwuguaya
I am fourthing
Jazur, Uwuguaya
mfw I can't add all the currencies rn because I'm at school

How do people feel about the current General Assembly resolution at vote, Truth in Advertising?
I'm inclined to favour it, basically due to ideological agreement and a lack of glaring flaws that I can see, but I've noticed it's very unpopular among voters. Having read the resolution and the GA forum I'd think that others' disagreement is also ideological. While I don't think it's an excellent proposal and there's a few sections I take minor issue with (Section 4 requiring "corporations to disclose any information that may influence consumer behavior regarding said advertising product" is fuzzy wording for a legal document, for example), I don't think it's bad enough to get me to vote against, but I'm wondering if anyone has a different view on it, since I'm not fully convinced and I'd noticed Refugia is also kinda split.
Typica, Tiralta, The Blue Fire
I feel exactly as you do, I voted for as I didn't see much in the way of argument that would persuade me against it in the forum.
Poquaoi, Typica, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
Refugia Druid Magic Anyone?!
Typica, Jazur
Petition for someone to host a monthly/annual D&D game based on Refugia as a festival
Typica, Araine, St Leone, Jazur, The Merinos, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire, Toothbrush
Refugia is a bit interesting as we have elections but also term limits, so different councillors of culture will do different things and it's kinda hard to plan monthly or annual festivals run in an "official" capacity like that as it depends so much on who's in post.
But there's absolutely nothing to stop you running for culture at the same time every year to make it an annual festival, to propose an annual festival of this kind to be added to the RRS, or to set up this sort of thing yourself and getting whoever's in culture (if it's not you) to endorse it and spread the word! I'm happy to talk to you more about all of those options if you'd like ^.^

Special Update
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1928373
Uwuguaya
Recent changes to National Currencies:
The Leone Krone has experienced a rapid devaluation due to the currently ongoing 2nd Leonean Civil War. The devaluation is estimated at around 15x, and some estimates put the expected total devaluation at roughly 50x within the near future
Additions to the currency table:
added all currencies currently included in the Triquetra Concordat
a Silver is estimated to be 11.34g fine silver (weight of US half-dollar coin)
a Rupee is assumed to be the original silver rupee (making it slightly more valuable than the Silver
an Uwuwu is based on 1/1000 of the average fursuit cost, which is $2665 according to the first result on Google (it was for research I swear, if I get one I'm making my own I swear I'm not a capitalist)
and, since the wage gaps in Ridmona are OUTRAGEOUS, I used the currency of the country with the highest Gini coefficient, South Africa, as a base.

Hiya peeps can y'all check if you've endorsed me yet? Btw my nations stat obviously don't reflect my irl views so don't let that hold you back.

In case anyone is wanting anything from anybody in the southeast USA irl, cloudfare for Atlanta is down for routine maintenance right now and you may have to wait longer than normal.

Why was someone favoriting this post from over 3 years ago... https://www.nationstates.net/region=refugia/page=display_region_rmb?postid=40477438#p40477438 It also reminds me of how long I have been here.

Perhaps you were as likable then as you are now.

I imagine it's either page number prank related or they're reading through an entire history of Refugi conversations?

A few weeks back I had my agricultural sector dipped down like a cliff
In another note I just assigned AI's to manage my economic, somehow that really boosted my employment level. Weirdly
Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire, Thingessness
Please can you avoid quoting from people no longer in the region so we're not sending them unnecessary notifications?

My agriculture exploded because I had a desert that turned into a tropical paradise and I let a collective of farmers farm oranges and coconuts and stuff.

Todays life changing quote from a very serious and important NS issue:
But the LORD sayeth YOU SHALLETH NOT prick the finger of THE GAYETH because you might becometh GAYETH yourself
Gaynations 9:6
Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire, Thingessness
does this extend to other sexualities or are gay people "different" in this regard? (I assume this is a semi-religious quote from how it's worded)
Uwuguaya
The NS 'Leading Causes of Death' chart is so vague but specific, there is "acts of god", "accident" and "exposure'??? but they also have "sunburn" and "Animal attack" Like how could those be more than 0.09%? ¯\_(ಠ-ಠ)_/¯

I'm still waiting for that cookie to this day.
Typica, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT AGAIN-
Tiralta
In that case, have one now! *Hands you a cookie*
I believe that, in the case of the [National animal] Attacks, there are just so many of said animal that tons of people die to them.
In that case its a delicacy and lots of people eat it, and therefore some people choke to death whilst eating this. Or maybe they got crushed by a horde of them?

Re: SC Proposal, Condemn BoM
I'd love to support a condemnation on this target, but this specific proposal is a mockery of the Security Council. Its author(s) have just piled up general accusations without supporting it with any evidence or examples. This is not how I'd like Condemnations to be written.
I vote Against.
Chacapoya, Typica, Aephony, Tiralta, The Blue Fire
Also voted against on this one. It's no secret I'd love to see more condemns, but the Security Council deserves way better quality.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Aephony, The Blue Fire
It's rather difficult to die of anything other than a simple pileup of unresolvable health issues in Poquaoi. Around half of the population, once they reach old age, decide to retreat from the sprawling expanse of city on the west coast into the dense forest of central Poquaoi, never to return. Upon doing so, they are legally registered as having left behind their old life and therefore, dead. Also, the devolved governments refuse to send over censuses, and we don't want to push them, so it's simpler to just mark them off as deceased in the system.
Meanwhile, the Poquaoian Armadillo accounting for 4.5% of deaths in the past year is a curious figure, and would imply that roughly every fifth armadillo killed a citizen in 2022-23. The factoid is explained by a remarkably aggressive specimen, "Murders Georg", whose kill count numbers in the millions. When causes of death are adjusted for the modal or median armadillo, he is but a statistical error, and thus should not be taken to encapsulate the actions of the largely peaceful creatures. Georg's bloodthirsty spree spanned twelve provinces and seventy-seven days. Some would argue he was more difficult to catch due to the lack of any centralised law enforcement, or point to the incident's timing, shortly after the complete abolition of zoos. I, however, believe this was a tragedy which nothing could have prevented.

ROLL FOR DAMAGE!!!!!!!!!
Tiralta, Jazur
*comically throws dice into a box*
...
*writing stuff down on nearby piece of paper*
*whispering* 4 damage per missile, times 800 missiles for a level 1594 wizard... for 6,376 total damage. and there are exactly 797 missiles for some reason, so divide 6,376 damage over 797 missiles... wait...
*vigorously scribbles out calculation*
*whispering* 4 damage per missile, times 800 missiles for a level 1594 wizard... for 3,200 total damage. and there are exactly 797 missiles, so divide 3,200 damage over 797 missiles...
4 damage per missile + 3 missiles with extra damage.
... so how much HP do the missile hulls have, again? and they're right next to each other, right?
Tiralta, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire

* We collectively cast the Ultimate Spell to End All Spells (known among the Cognisanti Seven as USEAS)
Spells are disabled on this RMB for at least 7 days and 7 nights.

Tiralta, Jazur, Thingessness
imma be making a new thing for nation info calculation that can help you determine accurate facts for roleplaying. (update: got distracted and am making ultimate facebook for Ban Oldern rn, will get back to work if someone sends me an angry TG about how they want role-play aspects taken out of their hands [I]RIGHT NOW[/I])
Anyway, changelog:
1) the Leone Krone value has been FROZEN by the Refugi United Economic Forum (RUEF) at 2237% devaluation since the Second Leonean Civil War began. This move has been made to protect the Leonean people from complete inability to buy food. Since the exchange rate has been frozen, and St. Leone is currently unable to override the freeze, RUEF effectively controls the currency until a clear power emerges in the ongoing civil conflict, and they may peg the Leone Krone for the time being in order to ensure people in St. Leone can afford food not delivered via foreign aid.
2) Automatic USD conversion added for ease of calculation
