You know how these scientists are, always so pristine and basic.
So from what ive gathered by asking around the facilities it would seem like they want a margherita pizza.
Thank you - Alrkus

Where is the furthest you've traveled?
For me, I'm just going to include what I was old enough to have a memory of.
I'm Floridian, and I haven't traveled much outside the state, but I did travel to the southern part of South Carolina border before, and that is the furthest I've traveled that I can actually remember properly.

My family lives in the UK, so I go over there during the summer some years. I have also stayed with a family friend [in] Spain for a week. Within the US, Ive been to California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, but I most of those states I have just driven through and not stayed in we took the scenic route while moving half way across the country.

Hi! Quick note. There totally isn't a large asteroid heading towards Refugia. I would tread carefully, you never know. (wink wink nudge nudge)

I'm from Austria and the furthest I think was Scotland, then London and then France and Belgium. The only Western European countries still missing would be just Spain, Portugal and Ireland. Iceland is in the west, but I count it among the Nordic countries.

I'm from Colorado. As of right now, the furthest I've been is Honolulu with Sint Maarten a close second. That'll change here in a few weeks though, heading to Barcelona for a cruise that will hit Rome.
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge
Well I would be careful, hitting Rome itself sounds like it will cost millions, as well as the lawsuits and jail time... Be careful.

Can we change our Specialization or is it set in stone for every N-Day?
Cheesy Tots, Sylh Alanor, Jazur
This is very late but I'll be recommending an official vote AGAINST Minimum Payment Act.
I've been told Clause 2 essentially means the interest just gets wiped out, which makes sense. But I still can't find anything which explains how that interest is wiped. Plus, the fact this clause causes confusion when its arguably unnecessary or at least could've been written to be way more clear is enough for me to vote against. WA law should be at least somewhat clear - this isn't. If clause 2 is to be included, it should explicitly mention how the extra interest is wiped or say outright that the unpaid interest is waived.
your specialization is set by the game, but you can always try creating a few more nations to get specializations you want!

I've never been around for N-Day... How does it work?
Cheesy Tots, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge
Syhl's dispatch explains it well enough:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1762982
But a basic tldr; is that every nation can produce nukes (which give a nation they hit radiation) or shields (which destroy nukes) using production points. Nations are placed into factions (you get to choose which faction you join) - no team killing allowed. Factions typically tell nations when to use nukes attack other factions and when to use shield to defend attacks. When a nation reaches 100 radiation, it cannot produce anything + any radiation gained before 100 slows down production. IIRC the event runs for like 2-3 days, its pretty fun

Are we allowed to use alts during N-Day, or is there something that locks them out?
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Portmanteau
you can use alts! But it's best to make them today - there's a population limit of 12 million, so any alt nation (you'll hear them called as puppets) needs to be a few days old to participate.

Not trying to contradict, or downplay the city's crime problems, but I used to live there and I found Chicago to be one of the safer major cities that I've ever experienced. So long as you stay on the North Side. Which is Chicago's main problem, because the place is wildly segregated. The South Side and some of the western sprawl was badly red lined into neglect and poverty. It's like two different cities mashed up against one another.

I might be a Military Specialist team. Me and Nuclear Command are all military specialists.
As much as I want to contradict you, you're right. Redlining policies instituted back in ye old days (1940s i think) have caused the entire mess that is Chicago. We need the Chicago Government to act and... Fix the place. I'm not saying that the current Mayor isn't doing anything, but I'm saying the mayor isn't doing anything to help. Also, the suburbs around Chicago are really nice.

Hello my Refugi friends.
It is my pleasure to announce the first ever open event organized by CRMEZ!
This event will be a song contest in Eurovision style and t will be hosted in my capital, Mandushia.
Applications to enter are now open.
For a nation to sucesfully enter this requirements are necessary:
A name for the band;
A music style;
A song name;
This are the mandatory terms, however if you wish you can also add band members, logo etc...
Right now there are alredy 4 nations, me included, that will participate in this contest (the CRMEZ members).
If you are wondering how the winner will be decided this is how: every nation that participates, will be a new jury. This jury, cannot vote in their own song. The jury will give ideally (depends on number of participants) a rating from 0-12 giving multiple 0 to several nations, because a jury can only give a 12 to 1 nation, a 10 to 1 nation, etc...
I will use a randomizer for this task.
So if you are interested, please participate! You can enter in this contest untill 20th September.

I left around 2010, so I unfortunately don't know much about its present mayor. But I'll just say, like so many American cities, it is basically held hostage by the state governor, who always seems to go out of their way to punish the cities and strip them of funding, as their demographics often reflect a different class and race than the rest of the state. The suburbs are certainly nice, as that's where all of the affluent white folks in the city began fleeing to following the war, so that's where the funding goes. Much sad :(
Typica, Floofybit, Jazur, Waywards Edge
This is such a fun idea, I love it!
Tiralta will put forward The Rubber Ducks, a folk punk band who will play their newest song, Rocket Ships.

I live in Massachusetts, probably the safest, most left-wing state in the country, and there are still right-wing racist gun nuts and their ilk in my neighborhood. The major cities are dangerous because of right-wing racist policies not stopping crime, and you can't swing a cat without hitting a gun. The food portions are also huge, leading to problems like obesity, and we have a pathetic healthcare system for a developed country. Granted, we're better off than some parts of the world, but if you live outside the USA and want to visit, I have one advice for you: Reconsider going here, and if you do, prepare for a deluge of psychopaths who still think it's the 19th century, obscenely large food portions and obscene medical costs.
And totally avoid the southeast and central part of the country, as the people there are zealous, religious and racist like there's no tomorrow.
Great! The Rubber Ducks are officially going to represent Tiralta in this event!

I live in New Jersey, which is quickly becoming the California of the East Coast. We have very high taxes but also on average have slightly higher incomes than other states. New Jersey overall is a nice place to live. Its relatively safe, however, its very expensive to live here. Also, Camden NJ is not the nicest place. Its been neglected by the state government. We do, however, have lots of advanced policing policies in place that have served as a national bastion for policing. Also, we have beaches, and nice parks.
Ps- The drivers here are ruthless, but not as ruthless as New York. Be careful if you come here cause New Jerseyans can be real rude people. But Im a New Jerseyan so I can say that lol

I noticed when I started doing this a week ago that everyone has telegrams that are most likely used to complete essays for school because of how long they are, while all I send is, "Hey I'm [Blank] how are you?".
Kinda makes me feel dumb, even more than I am.

Many of them are my family, but I have encountered a great deal of openly racist people in public as well. I try not to judge an area solely based on if it tends to vote democrat or republican, but Ive had enough bad and uncomfortable experiences both with my family and in public that I know its not the place for me. Ive never been to anywhere like LA or the bay area so I dont know what its like there, but I associate California with charred trees, dry lakebeds, and relatives I dont get along with.
[spoiler]And the poor employees I saw get physically assaulted over company mask policies during the height of the pandemic. Never saw that happen once here. Saw it happen four times in one week there. I felt horrible and I didnt know what do do, and I really dont want to see anything like that again.[/spoiler]
