you'll need to join the world assembly, and after that you go to a nation's page, scroll to the bottom, and like the endorse button.

Man Al Gore seems cool, probably still mad about florida though

Edit Context:

During the 2000 Election, if the recount in Florida went ahead, he would have WON Florida. However, Bush managed to get the supreme court to stop the recount, resulting in Bush's win in the 2000 Election.

Some of them, I regret. Of those which I regret, I've allowed some to CTE. Others I just keep for various practical reasons.

But not this one. I'm proud of the name I gave Delta Vega IV and hope I'll never have a cause to regret it.

Definitely 12. 10 is totally insufficient to describe the inconvience and discomfort of such a brutal attack on my person from an entity I never gave a cause to be hostile to me.

It would be a 2. By the time a shark decided to come to my part of town, they'd die due to the heat.

Hello all :)

My number one wish to be added to the game is the ability to have your nation classification in another language. For me, I would change my nation's classification from "The Republic of" to "La République de", which is French for, well, the same thing. (Note, you can change the classification itself to whatever you want if you have the population requirements, but I mean the determiner and preposition.)

If you had the ability to change the language of your nation's classification in its entirety, what would you change it to if anything at all?

Oh, that reminded me to change mine!

I kinda like "the XYZ of Tiralta" cause I like to think of it specifically as a personification of my nation. Like, I am hyped for BOAT at the minute, and so that is what's important to the characterisation of Tiralta. I don't do the IC/OOC thing when it comes to my nation though, it's all just me tbh.

It'd be fun to have a "insert quote here" says classification though. So like

"Melenavenia is cool" says Tiralta

Cause then you could use it to encourage endorsing, joining a region or voting a certain way in the WA or something in a more natural sounding way.

Hey RMB homies, I have a little environment trivia question and I'll give a prize to whoever the first person to telegram me the right answer.

Not that this is a formal competition or game, but try to avoid looking up the answer. If you telegram me the wrong answer, I will let you know and you can legally look it up after that.

I'll give y'all a day to submit answers.

THE QUESTION

Orcas can kill sharks. How do they do it?

Season's greetings, Refugi! Even if the holidays are over, the term season's greetings can technically be used any time of the year. That's why it's objectively the best greeting. The Jan. 2023 Current Event Report has been posted, with hints of late 2022! Even though I'm at the tail end of my term, I wanted to squeeze in a Current Events Report before I spontaneously dissolve. I hope you check it out!
