fruit wars are always technically nuclear because a banana contains an element which if consumed is radioactive
Chacapoya, Narwhal, Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai, The Blue Fire
so hey do I role play here on or on discord?
Lycanjeskai
nono the first fruit wars involved Nukes
Lycanjeskai, The Blue Fire
alright ima role play
As inflation rises the economy drops. The streets become more dangerous and black market sales continue to rise. Crime becomes common and the nations becomes fragile. The Central government would declare a state of national emergency. The Government would flee the country. Years would past with anarchy ruling over the nation. Finally a new government would take over and wring in control of the nation. "hello" he would declare to the republic "This nation has seen hardships. With the help of the military I plan to help defend and protect our government and our nation as a whole." he would continue "I plan to defend and protect the environment as well and expand the trout fishing industry to it limits!" the crowd would cheer with this "My first plan to to invade the east, as we have always had claims to that part of the island." the crowd would erupt with patriotism. "Thank you that is all please return to your peaceful lives so we can all live in harmony" "oh and a new flag will be in place as the old one showed weakness"

How do I get my people to work?
im back with question, what is the top country you wanna visit?

Finland happiest Country in the world

norway.. cool fjords, and also i want to visit the seed vault, and a couple of other things too
Portmanteau, Remnants Of The Pacific
North Korea, with Vietnam at a close second. It's actually on my bucket list to visit the DPRK and to get an official North Korean flag, but I want to become fluent in Korean before I go.
Sylh Alanor, Portmanteau
The Netherlands, although Canada and New Zealand are very close (in terms of how much I'd want to visit, not in terms of geography to me or each other :P)

We'll get you coffee crisps and ketchup flavoured potato chips if you visit Canada!

Greece, specifically Athens! I'm a huge classics nerd and I've never gone there before (I have been to Rome though)
Sylh Alanor, Jazur

Sorry but ketchup chips are a crime against humanity.
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Istastioner, Jazur
These are really cool answers. I've thought it would be interesting to travel to Cuba for a visit (though I don't think I could handle the heat)
Have you played Assassin's Creed: Odyssey? As someone who was interested in Greek mythology and history as a kid, I really loved getting to see locations and characters.

ketchup and chips are great
chips means fries right?

Tiralta
oh, thats a bit unsettling * disappears into floor *

I almost said crisps to make it clearer what I meant, but then I realised I would have said coffee crisps and ketchup crisps and that felt weird.
Tiralta
Vatican City easily. What with the beauty of its Sistine Chapel, expansive gardens, museums and Scavi tour, which takes you to the catacombs under St. Peter's. Theres so much both historically and culturally.
Besides this? Probably France lol

The Battle of All Things II Update
Coming in hot for the first round in Match A, with 32 points of favourability, the most popular candidate in the qualifier squared off against the least popular candidate to make it in -- and promptly lost. A wild upset! Stocks crashing! Trout population: Devastated.
Within hours of the competition starting, the vote was neck and neck, defying all predictions of a quickly-settled battle. As the first, then second, and third days passed, the vote not only remained that way, but spent most of the time being perfectly balanced. While the onlookers scratched their heads in confusion, the WA-exemption nations then turned out in force to kick the State of Ohio into its first breakaway lead. Perhaps this was the time when the case would be closed and the VICTORY LAP would begin but no!
It was not to be. At the eleventh hour, an even greater number of WA nations arrived with black, military-grade helicopters to pick up the State of Ohio and fire it out of a cannon. The match ended Ohio 26, Weird Al 28. Though defeated, the buckeye state has still net Istastioner with a Season 2 Testlandia
For servers with Dot, this means that betting is now open for Match C, and you can continue to place bets until that round begins.

...In reference to recent events transpiring that involved a cannon, a bunch of military grade choppers, and... the state of ohio?
So, whomever needs a heavy superlift helicopter, we at Utility Helicopter Systems have the solution for you!
The UCH-203 Sweeper is for you!

What are the fruit wars? People seem to mention them a lot and I have no idea what they are.
Tiralta, Jazur
violence but with fruit and nobody dies

Big celebration: Tidelia hit 1 billion citizens yesterday!!
I have no strong opinions on this choice, so what do you guys think- should I make a national religion now that I have the issue for it?
Typica, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Morrigan, Lovoreus Magnus
Congrats! It gives you some fun additional issues, although I got rid of mine again after a while.

Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta, Jazur
start war over fruits because yes
Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta, Jazur
I haven't, I was a teenager when the books were published and didn't hear about them until I was well into my 20s, and by then I wasn't really into YA fiction anymore. I've heard good things, though!

Post self-deleted by Moulk2.
As the last willing civilians entered the massive underground complexes they cried about their old land. One that they knew was about to change forever. The government was waging war against the tomatoes. And the tomatoes were winning, as the last few people entered, they turned back and saw the first spark of the fruit wars.
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA Bending fruit wars history love it
anyways I'll release more as the BOAT progresses.

Sounds like a fun time
It's pretty good. In specific, I would recommend the Trials of Apollo. I found it mildly funny, and seeing the world through Apollo's eyes is amazing.

Thanks! Mine was used with the google sites program, so it wasn't too hard. Yours looks great!
Delta Vega Iv, Melenavenia, Tiralta
I apologize for my ignorance, but what is this that Im hearing about nuclear warfare? Explanation please?
I went for it for fun and...hoooohh boy did it tank my civil rights. Might have to focus on that for a little bit haha
Tiralta
I chose not to have one and I still got the option to in settings so I think it might not even matter, although Im not sure what would happen if I put something in that slot now.
Im currently 4th in the region for civil rights so I kind of dont want to risk it.
Its an event where you get to join a team and nuke other teams. Its just for fun and doesnt have any lasting effect on your nation.
This is the summary of the last N Day (Refugia was in the Potato Alliance) and heres also this very informative dispatch on the topic.

Hello
Hey hey! How's it going?
Hello! Favorite Fruit?
school, i forgot my chromebook charger at school and my chromebook is on 2%. It should be back soon though so yay
Tiralta
every issue I complete it seems to bring down my fishing trout industry. Is there anyway to stop it from going down? im 396 in the world and I dont want to lose that
Lycanjeskai
I have reacquired my Chromebook charger!
Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta
I used to have a 5% badge in that when I started the game but it seems that it inevitably goes down, my tip is to keep your environment high while still accounting for anything that would obviously lower it

there are a couple ways, a few issues deal with fishing
Fishing seems to be brought down by just about everything, very slightly. And raised by just about everything, very slightly. And whether or not one or the other will happen for a given issue always seems to be up in the air, based on the existing stats of your nation. It is a stat that I do not fully understand. On one of my nations, Carraig Ghlas, I felt like I was able to increase fishing whenever I picked an action that was "slimey". Meaning shady or corrupt, but I found that even this did not work all the time.
Maybe Catiania, who had 6th in the world for fishing on another nation might know more.
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai, Exeron
I think Catiania is just good at catching fish because they are cats.
They are home to the god cats, that ought to count for something, right?
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur
I realised how quickly my taxes were rising lately so now my aim is to get 1% in tax
Basiltown
I like to imagine that the battlefield for BoAT is a boat.
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge, Lycanjeskai, Exeron
I also like to imagine that, but like its a big boat and it's competitive dueling or something like that
Tiralta, Jazur, Lycanjeskai
It's like that one scene from the contender books

SURPRISE TO YOU GUYS, GALS, AND NONBINARY PALS, IT'S ANOTHER MAP UPDATE!
"Emily you must stop, we've noticed the progression of your insanity every time a map update is done."
It's so good. Anyway, we've decided a quick turnaround was the best medicine after such a long time away, and it's a good thing we did, because there was so much to be done this time. While the last map update was done by some weird twitch streamer, this time we're back to our old tricks again. A dark cloud of bees erupted from Sylh Alanor and covered the planet hoping to find new victims. Anyone who had been previously stung by these bees was, of course, immune to further attacks, so the information we received back at the central hive was just about things that have changed! And boy howdy, is the map a very different place than it was even a week ago.
First off, nobody's dead! This is a good development. Keep it up.
On the other hand, overpopulation abound! We've gained so many new people that we're having trouble holding all of them! What will happen? Who can know? Buy the sequel "Map Update 2: Bridge to Trondheim" for more information.
New additions:
Ansgar (Vikolandic)
Basiltown (Refugi)
Fiverdom (Refugi)
Heinfield (Refugi)
Jefforia (Refugi)
Kostali (Axolotl)
Libervillea (Refugi)
Moulk2 (Potato)
Thictesstan (Potato)
Also, fun news! Waywards Edge has moved to one of the central landmasses and changed their name to Waywardia. Their alliances have moved with them :itisso:
Also, in Zones and Treaties news, SEDA has added a mutual defence clause to their regional alliance, promising to come to the aid of member nations attacked by outside forces, but not instituting a clause to join in if member nations attack others.

nah its fine i got alot to do today, waiting for a few responses today on other things and writing can get boring VERY fast. I applaud those who can just sit there and write, cause it takes 3-4 days to get anything meaningful done (for factbooks, atleast).
Jazur, Voinarx
As Refuge Isle said, there seems to be a correlation between corruption issues (but not the actual corruption stat), crime, and fishing. It's a hard one, which is why I gave up on getting higher after a while.
I LET CHATULA CTE?? It was 7th in residency! I am shamed...

Gosh, just finished Three-Body trilogy.
[spoiler=LITERAL SPOILER ALERT]
I thought it's going to be a cliché Ender Game-like scenario where human wins against the invading aliens. It shows how arrogant, dumb, and illogical human is. How to survive in the universe is to shed our kindness and love. And that, in the end, human is not the smartest.
The ending is really surprising as well. All in all, an enjoyable ride.
