NS is always trying to drag you back to a more central position, so if your civil rights are already high (or any stat really!) it's easier to drop it than it is to raise it. Same applies oppositely, if you're really low in a certain stat it'll be easier to raise it than keep it lower.

Welcome! The RMB (regional message board) has a lot of heckposting so don't worry if it doesn't make too much sense.

If you have discord we have a discord server linked on the main Refugia page where we chat about the game and you can ask questions and stuff if you have them, or you can always ask questions here if you don't have Discord!

You could download the latest season's card dump and search through the xml.

It should tell you every thing except production counts, market info, owners, collections...

Of course, even I tried to make one in my dispatch or "app" BRUH IT HARD! You should be able to construct a sentence and if that happens, the basics is complete!

Guys, I recently got an issue related to another nation called Bigtopia?? and it seemed oddly weird because most of the answers were like "they're our most trustworthy and friendly ally" as if I was being brainwashed into believing it? I've never heard of this Bigtopia place before..

And it wasn't something like genuinely friendly and I'm on the wrong end of the stick, it was so repetitive and weird. The issue was about compulsory voting or whatever and most of the answers were about me not needing to worry if people from Bigtopia can have a chance in parliament

But some answers were worried that the bigtopian government could try and take my nation into their own by having pro-bigtopian candidates in parliament, that's why I'm a bit worried about this, I apologize if this is so random and probably not even worth worrying about

Bigtopia is a nation initially made up for issues that occasionally pops up, although some people may have copied these names for their own nations or regions after seeing them.

Here's a more full list of the issues nations: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=423697

When they're mentioned, they're meant to be read as a fake place, not the nation or region that has been created based on them.

Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Zabruhmoment Of Vehemesht, Thingessness, Agudo Island

The only time(so far) Bigtopia was mentioned on my island was in the context of diversity representation on television, but the issue was raised specifically about Lilliputian representation.

In the context of NS, Bigtopia and Lilliput are NPC states, the latter originally appearing in "Gulliver's Travels".

General advice: Whenever you receive an issue which baffles you or seems irrelevant to your nation and to how you wish to be running it, click the "Dismiss" button. It is the most appropriate choice to make in such a situation. "Dismiss" makes it as if you have never receievd the issue in the first place. Of course, you may be missing a chance to influence your nation in the way you want it to be influenced, but that's a risk you should be ready to take, in my humble opinion.
