Ooh! The poll's looking like a battle between the mango and cherry tomato! I'll probably switch to mango if those become the dominant two by the end

Floofy, Floofy, please consider the delightful burst of flavour you receive from biting into a dark red cherry tomato. It is the true face of neutrality in this war and definitely in no way a secretly operating occupying force.
Mangoes are of course delicious, but we just ask that you consider the cherry tomato on its merits.
My dude that's like 95% of what I eat, why ask a question if you're going to narrow and narrow the goalposts until you get an answer you specifically want lol

Hello all, I have spent the last several hours reconstructing a record of past Endotarting Competition winners. If you want to see how much you've grown, as well as how much the region has, here's a fun thing to check out.

Seeing as nobody has announced their candidacy yet, I'd like to break the ice by declaring my candidacy for Councillor of Foreign Affairs! To be blunt, I have no experience in these sorts of positions, so this campaign will probably be relatively short, but I can't say that I don't have reason for my interest in this position, and I believe from the bottom of my heart that I will benefit Refugia if I am elected as the CoFA.
[list]- If I am elected as the CoFA, I will seek out regions that are in the best interest of allying and becoming friends with us Refugi, while keeping in mind the interests and criterion that we want all friends to fit. I'm very active on NS, so I will have enough time to sort through the RMB and single out offensive behavior that will not be tolerated in Refugia.
- As I mentioned in the above bullet point, I am also active on this site. This means I will have time to burn, and in turn time to make new friends for Refugia. On my watch, I will not allow Refugi friendships, alliances, or embassies to wilt, and create new ones at the same time.
- Like I said, this campaign will be short, but my final bullet point is more miscellaneous. I don't like to sound boastful, but I believe myself to be a social, extroverted person. With this in mind, I can manage multiple embassies and will always be down to discuss matters (or concerns) as soon as I can without getting tired from the social interactions quickly. I also am fairly confident that I will be able to figure out the polling system with ease and be able to create polls and elections to decide whether or not to add a new embassy. [/list]
So, while this campaign is pretty short (this is my first one), I do hope that you can consider me to be your CoFA! If you have any questions that I failed to include, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you!

Well, if no one else wants to do this, I will. I am hereby announcing my candidacy for the office of Councillor of World Assembly Affairs. I'll admit, legalese is a tad confusing for me, and I have no experience in this kind of role, but I have a vested interest in world laws and affairs.
-If I am elected as the CoWAA, I will consider and read all proposals brought to my attention from the General Assembly and Security Council, as well as open discussions and debate regarding various interpretations of the proposals. I'm always active on NS, even if I don't say much, and love to talk about anything that comes to mind.
-I will not allow a single proposal to go unscrutinized, and I will also look through past proposals of the same type to see if there is any merit to whether they should be voted for or against. I will also issue dispatches regarding these various proposals, so that others will have a clearer picture of the proposal at hand, as well as any information that was not immediately stated, or was written confusingly.
-I'm not a perfect person, I will occasionally get wording wrong, or say a word or sentence incorrectly. But I will also fix any mistakes that I do make in terms of wording a proposal's dispatch, and create a final draft that everyone reading should enjoy. I'm also not a boastful person, but I enjoy reading and writing, regardless of whether I'm managing a forum or simply drawing up a first draft of an essay.
I know this whole spiel was short, but I hope that you'll consider me for the office of CoWAA. IF you have any questions, or if I didn't explain anything clearly enough, feel free to let me know at any time. Thank you so much!

I make my flags using Inkscape. It's a "vector" program, like Adobe Illustrator, but as a freeware version.
When I decided to figure out how to make flags and banners on NationStates, I came with zero drawing skills, zero computer skills, and knew next to nothing about design. I say this because, on first glance, using a program like Inkscape or GIMP may seem somewhat intimidating. I know it did for me. But there's so many helpful tutorials and guides out there, from what I can tell made mostly by generous volunteers who just want to help others. And if you sit down and follow a tutorial, step-by-step, you'll come away with a good deal of base knowledge for making something like a flag. The real trick is having the patience to sit through a tutorial :P
[spoiler=A few guides]
I think this is the somewhat janky guide I first followed, years ago:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/AShortExample.html
It's part of a larger series of general guides this individual had made for creating simple but useful things with Inkscape:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/QuickStart.html
And here's the more official beginner's guide for the program:
https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
I'd personally recommend starting with the 'Finding Your Way Around' subsection, and then navigating from there to the tools sections you think you'd like to learn, as the guide covers everything.[/spoiler]
There is also a ton of videos on youtube. I don't have any saved, as I tend to favor the written guides, but I've used a bunch in the past. It's as easy as doing a google search for something like 'inkscape flag tutorial' and perusing the results. There's a lot of great help to be found in there.
If you have any questions, even extremely simplistic and fundamental ones, feel free to reach out via telegram.

And on the topic of silly chaos, how many holes does a Lego have? One? Three? None? Infinite?
Edit: For clarification, I mean a two by one Lego.
Floofybit, Tiralta, Polushia, Jazur, Powesaria
I dunno, like 46?
Floofybit, Tiralta, Jazur, Emascidonija
No topological (through) holes.
However, some off-brand legos may have topological holes.
Non-topological holes are difficult to determine (for instance, some definitions allow plates to qualify as holes?) but I'd estimate with the newer lego models about 3 (full bottom section, and two holes inside underneath the little teeth stub thingies whatever you call them)
(edit) shoot i forgot that it depends on the size of the hole; if you set the minumum size to 10^-10 then legos practically infinite holes because at that point the gaps between atoms is big enough to qualify as a topological hole.
Fun fact: Lego is mostly made from ABS plastic molecules, which is constructed from 3 different atoms (carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in the case of acrylonitrile) allowing for up to 9 combinations of each atom to make a hole (3 atoms being required to make one) and with there being ~11194983435873165312 molecules or ~94597610033128243200 atoms allowing there to be around 31532536677709414400 possible holes per lego, meaning there can be from one to ~31532536677709414400 unique different holes. If you set the hole size to be below the size of an atom, the different subatomic particles can multiply this number by an amount certainly but I don't know what because electrons are a thing? and then if you set the size even smaller than a subatomic particle at that point you can't really describe a hole in an object because there really arent any.

Everything is holey and nothing is solid, but I cant wave my hand through a wall unfortunately. :(
Floofybit, Jazur
... Actually, depending on the exact state of every particle in the wall, you theoretically could, but the probability of that event occurring is more likely than your nerves controlling said hand ceasing to function.

This is an unusual post for an unusual circumstance, but officially it is an RRS 3. ejection notice.
Some of you are doubtlessly familiar with Floofybit, who has been an active in the community for a number of years. That nation has been banned this morning by myself on consultation and advice from floor-16, the community leadership group composed of Refugia's Regional Council and CalRef's admin and mod staff.
The reason for this ban relates to a number of transphobic and misogynistic posts that Floofybit had lodged to the NationStates forum over the last two days, and the doubled down on multiple times after being confronted with contrary evidence by one of our own local mods, A Million Dreams. After receiving a warning from community admin, Sylh Alanor, which appeared to be ignored, there is nothing left to be done by follow through on our own moderation.
As a reminder, CalRef has our own code of conduct (https://calref.cc/index.php?topic=11.0) which outlines our rules and protections. Members within CalRef areas, including Refugia, have a right to be protected from users that are known to espouse hate speech and intolerance. We have barred a number of players from joining Refugia on these grounds when their rhetoric and ideology has been known to us beforehand, and we similarly will bar players who reveal those views later on.
