im happy that peopel think im funny and that i am a union builder im just glad with that
Project Aces of Refugia (PAR) needs you!
We are currently a 4 man team working on a couple of dispatches about a war in refugia taking place in 2004.
Like Ace Combat? Never heard of it? That's okay! I'll briefly summarize. It's all Belka's fault.
If you want to help, TG me, or DM me on the discord at Stormfire10#3970
Thank you for your support of a project despite the current delays!
This has nothing to do with the fruit war, it was in the works before.

Alright folks, another discussion post is up to bat - this one for Repeal: Nuclear Arms Possession Act! Thread here.
The repeal essentially raises two arguments against the target:
[list][*]The target resolution is wholly redundant with [resolution=GA#418]GA#418 "Safeguarding Nuclear Materials[/resolution] being in effect.
[*]The targets REQUIRES clauses vagueness raises multiple issues, such as not being clear on who nations should secure nuclear arms against and forcing nations to take unnecessary to unreasonable precautions to protect their nuclear arms.[/list]
In my opinion, I think this resolution makes perfect sense. GA#418 is a much better written and more specific variant of GA#10 - which absolutely makes GA#10 a redundant piece of legislation. I do also find the repeals arguments against the REQUIRES clause compelling for the reasons the repeal states, and these issues have been fixed in GA#418 from what I can see.
Therefore, I recommend voting FOR Repeal: Nuclear Arms Possession Act. But I do wanna know - what do yall think on this proposal?
____________
On another note, with elections beginning tomorrow I thought it might be a good idea to stop procasinating and finish another thing I said I'd do - so behold, Refugia WA authors! I'm hoping this dispatch will inspire current and future Refugi to write your own proposals :D
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1771525
I'll release a smol end term statement thingamajiggy tomorrow to summarize all I've done. Will also post a discussion post for the SC tomorrow!

does thsi mean i lose my nukes or i keep them?
If they try to take our nukes, we just nuke the WA. Simple.

your tactics scare me

Hello RMB, have a question.
What's a surprisingly good food combination?
I reckon strawberries and peanut butter for me.
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, The Pacific Northwest
Strawberries and peanut butter is good!
I make a version of coleslaw with apples and spring onions which is good but nobody's ever heard of it. Apples and mars bar (which I think is called milky way in the US?) is also a good combination.
Chacapoya, Lethodus, Araine, Floofybit
Onion and apple actually goes pretty well together. I made a thing a few months ago where i put them in a pan together along with strawberries and it was great.
Chacapoya, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta
especially if you bite into them one after another. love eating an onion like an apple, especially that nutritious peel :D
Chacapoya, Lethodus, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta
The peel is the best part.
Chacapoya, Araine, Floofybit
Lethodus, Floofybit, Powesaria
Snickers Salad is also great.
Lethodus, Floofybit
Frozen Thin Mints cookies with peanut butter.
Also, properly combining garlic and honey in a dish can be divine.

I just googled it and my brain says "...maybe?" but my heart says "no <3"

The results are in for the Refugi Awards!
His flag is ever changing, an omen for the days to come. The Vexillologist of the Year is Aephony.
No one shall be willfully deprived of a snacc, the Creative Genius is Cheesy Tots.
Whether it's passionately declaring the benefits of tangerines or just their general wholesome, funny selves, we can agree that Floofybit is the RMB MVP.
There's a reason we all endorse her, and it's because we think Sylh Alanor is Commendable for so many reasons.
We don't know if Team Tangerine won the Fruit War this time but they sure as heck started it - Floofybit wins the award for War and Peach.
To celebrate that, Floofybit also needs to write an unhinged WA proposal cause they're our Mischief Maestro.
And finally, caring not for the battle of fruit and evil, Aephony will indeed take over as the Universal Dictator.
Those who aren't currently Councillors will get a special government position with the opportunity to make a poll as their heart desires! Congratulations, and thank you to everyone who took part in the awards! :D

Thank you Tiralta for running these :D
Also I should mention I've swapped my vote in the GA to Against because it was pointed out who wrote it. Cretox State was found to have plagiarised some of his previous GA resolutions. As I do not want to reward rule breaking behaviour, I've switched to against.
Edit: As a point of clarification, though evidence of plagiarism exists, site staff responded stating they wouldn't punish it as it occurred two years ago. So the best punishment that could possibly happen would be a blanket against for the author's future proposals. You don't have to do this, but I will.

Councillor of Culture, running programs and events that celebrates or expand our community's cultural experience.

You can announce your candidacy here in the RMB or in #ground-floor of the community Discord server by tagging/pinging me with your declaration so I will be sure to see it. A week from now, all valid candidates will be entered into election votes for their respective positions.

I'll reverse my recommendation to AGAINST. It's a good point, although I will just be against his GA work until/if he ever does truthfully and wholly apologize for these acts and establishes a pattern of not repeating it.
I kinda forgot he plagarized x.x
_____________________
On an unrelated note, I will not be running for re-election if anyone wants to take a crack at the WAA Councillor seat. IK sometimes people dont feel like running if there's an incumbent (though I do encourage running for any seat y'all are interested in - you never know!), so I might as well say this early for anyone whose on the fence about running or not.
idk when ill do the end of term thingamajib so i might as well say dis now

So you won... Alright then.
Waywards Edge would like to formally congratulate Floofybit on War and Peach. To celebrate, I declare war. I step down from my position on Grapes vs Tangerines. I will continue our feud under the glorious cloudberry.

We are so happy to see that the people of the Edge have realized the supremacy of the glorious cloudberry, whose colour is that of richness and taste that of the heavens.
We would also like to announce that anyone else who wishes to embrace the cloudberries supremacy will get a years worth of cloudberries for free, valued at a whopping 10 000 000LK!

no harm will come to those who embrace the supremacy of the cloudberry.

I'm reasonably certain you have written more eco reports and event dispatches in your terms than any other Councillor of Culture and are possibly the most accomplished and prolific Councillor ever, so I'm not sure that anyone can say that this was late 😛
Thank you muchly for the report!

I just created random another nation but don't know what to do with it now
Araine, Floofybit, Polushia, West Remeshile, Powesaria
Ive been so busy and havent been around in awhile. Ive come back in the midst of a fruity war. I guess West Reseshile announces Neutrality 😭

Dispatch about the CRMEZ Song contest is out!
Floofybit, Tiralta
Ive made it a personal goal of mine to never dismiss any issue, but I just got one with two options: mandatory IQ tests to vote or let them try to ban fruit
Whats more valuable, political freedom or fruit?
Cheesy Tots, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, Powesaria
In the current climate on the RMB, you're going to need all of the fruit you can get... :P (jk, go with your heart)
Cheesy Tots, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit
Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta
No 😰. You could at least compromise and keep tangerines... (and mangos)
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta
So...apparently my country uses ID chips now. This is a thing that's happening.
Floofybit, Polushia, Azelandia
That's great! The only problem is that if someone gets hungry, they might eat it.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time someone did that. Honestly, I'd expect it by now.

As the Second Fruit War slows down, just in time for election season, another, extremely important election arises. This controversial topic has split humans, animals, and others apart since the dawn of time, and we are here to settle it, once and for all! High-class surveyors have gathered important data of what Refugis' favourite fruits could possible be, and have compiled the options into the most life-changing poll of your life (or nine lives, if you're a cat). Good luck, and let's settle this, once and for all!
The poll can be found here: region=refugia#poll
If you chose an other fruit, telegram me or post on the RMB what you chose and I'll make sure you are counted!

Floofybit: Not on my watch :hyper:
can i consider potato a fruit
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Polushia
I chose to allow my citizens to ban fruit if they wanted. Turns out that didnt happen, but they did decide to vote in favor of declaring bubblewrap an abomination of nature. Truly an eco conscious population.
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Powesaria
My bad! I meant to put potatoes in the poll... But yes, potatoes can be considered a fruit 😏
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta
victory
Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Powesaria
if the mighty Cloudberry can be considered a fruit, then by god. potatoes can too cx
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta
Alright, considering I wasn't able to put all the good fruits (especially potatoes), on the poll, I'll make sure anyone who chose other will get counted if they telegram or post on the RMB their side!
Cheesy Tots, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Polushia
I'm imagining some surveyors making their way into Estebere by a measly fishing boat coming to poll the people. It's funny because Estebere isn't actually part of the islands of Refugia yet, because A: Estebere's lore wouldn't make sense and B: I plan to absolutely destroy the current island of Estebere later. Heh, High Class Surveyors being stuck on a fishing boat with a fisher singing about dragon's den, can you imagine? That's definitely not what has/is happening. But just imagine with me...
Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta
Truly the best conclusion we could have to the second Fruit War :D

Pretty neat seeing the tangible impact in the stats of a flood of new nations. I wouldn't have expected that.

What do y'all think about tea? What're y'all's favourite types of a tea, and why?
Persona'y, I rather enjoy tea, but cannot pick a favourite, because I've on'y ever had British tea, except for once when I was much younger and had green tea, which I thorough'y regretted immediate'y.

Irish breakfast is the staple tea for our house, but I've also quite enjoyed Scottish breakfast, as well as a pumpkin spice flavoured chai.

👀Well, hello there folks!! How are you all doing today?

Quick question: Where can a person RP in this region?
Good and you?
Araine, Floofybit, St Leone, Jazur, Calea
I am good too, thx for asking!! New on the region!
Araine, Floofybit, St Leone, Polushia, Ullrani
We dont do RP here.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, St Leone, Jazur, Ullrani
Oh... Really? That kinda sucks :(
Yorkshire Tea (decaf) is my standard, but I love Irish breakfast tea too. I have a tin of fancy rose tea that I like to have when I'm having a cup of tea for the *experience* and not just cause it's what I'm drinking.
Green tea is okay, but I mostly have it when I'm not feeling well.
Araine, Floofybit, St Leone, Jazur, Ullrani
English breakfast without milk or sugar! Also jasmine tea and mint tea.
Floofybit, St Leone, Tiralta, Jazur
which is totally why we aren't having a current fruit war...
Typica, Floofybit, St Leone, Tiralta, Polushia, Jazur
I should probably clarify that there's no ban on NationStates RP, but typically we use the RMB to talk and h*ckpost, and so far there hasn't been much interest in starting up a NationStates RP.
You are free to get one going either on our forums or on NationStates forums if you think you can find enough people, but none of our admins or councillors really understand NS roleplay because a lot of times it's people godmoding their favourite "ironic" german tank and that kinda stuff is a bit foreign to eco-hippies.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Jazur, Innamorta
If you are concerned about german tanks, what if we banned german tanks? solved issue
Hello

Hi!

yea, let's all just use different T-34's instead lol
imean there are probably enough different versions of the T-34 so it would actually be possible lmao

No, we can use the glorious sherman tank
hey guys instead of favorite fruit whats your favorite food?
