You've already received an automated telegram from me, but let me in my human person form welcome you to our region~
Refugia is part of a larger community, Calamity Refuge. If you want to hang out with us, check out our Discord server: https://calref.ca/chat/. In the meantime, feel free to hang out with us in Refugia, there's lots to do on NationStates. Become a Member State by joining the World Assembly and hanging around for a week. YouÂ’ll be able to get a spot on the map of Refugia, as well as vote in elections and referendums or run for Council positions.
Once you've signed up for the World Assembly, you can endorse other nations and build your regional influence. This is easy with our custom tool, Tart.Calref: https://tart.calref.ca/
If thereÂ’s anything else youÂ’re interested in learning about our region or NationStates, feel free to ask!

As the "Legal Equality Act" has come up to vote in the General Assembly, I'll just bump our lovely Councillor of World Assembly Affairs Junitaki-Cho's statement on it, and her reasoning behind her recommendation to vote AGAINST it. https://www.nationstates.net/region=refugia/page=display_region_rmb?postid=51241660#p51241660

Hey guys.
Another Europeian will soon be up for commendation, this time Istillian, who is a member of our community as well.
The proposal: https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=westinor_1677952438
This is a pretty long resolution, but Junitaki-cho and I think it is well-written. We aren't familiar with Istillian, so we have no personal opinion on them, but reading through the forum, everyone seemed in agreement that Istillian was a great person and NS player, as they were portrayed in the resolution.
The forum: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=529738&sid=e8dd8ec93c97ed2e41050b1a0db1e951
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hey everyone, are you a member state interested in getting involved with Foreign Affairs? I'm currently on the lookout for a couple of Envoys who would be willing to represent Refugia in Yggdrasil and 10000 Islands. The requirements are pretty easy- you would have to watch their RMB/discord server and just hang out there. You'd be representing us, so be friendly and make friends.
This is a great springboard to running for Council at a later time, and you also get to chat with some cool people about regional government stuff.

Hello all! I'm new to the game so if it's ok for me to ask a quick question here:
Does anyone here have a template for a military factbook
ideally something like this: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=nation_for_mutual_security/detail=factbook/id=793809
cheers!
St Leone, Tiralta
Oooh yeah why not

idk but if you find one hit me up!

Thank you Tiralta, it worked this time. I tried reading the guide but it was talking about some law that doesn't match what it links to??
Araine, Tiralta
Which guide is that?
I click on the "Office of World Assembly Affairs: Official Dispatch" at the top of the page and then inside there I clicked on the most recent vote thingy but then that one was talking about something different than what is being voted on.
It says to vote against self defence but the vote is about equality actually
Ah, gotcha! So that's linking to the last IFV (Information For Voters) dispatch, which is a longer or more in-depth argument persuading Refugi to vote for/against a law. That one is from a few months ago, but it is our last official IFV in dispatch form.
We get much more frequent but shorter/more summarised updates on the RMB asking for opinions, these will be from Junitaki-Cho who's World Assembly Affairs Councillor, or Melenavenia who's her second. For example, the one on the current Security Council proposal is here:
I hope that makes a little more sense! It's just cause it's kinda a lot of work to write a dispatch for every single proposal, so IFVs are saved for something that the Councillor maybe feels more strongly about, or feels needs more explanation.

Are you aware of this handy dandy dispatch? It contains all of the code which the author of that military factbook uses to accomplish that layout. For instance, that box on the side is the "Sidebar" code: [sidebar][/sidebar], within which are horizontal lines separating it into sections: [hr].
Further down, the author uses a lot of tables. The code is a bit too complicated for me to simply copy here, but a template for it is laid out in the dispatch I linked above, under "Table." If you copy/paste the included template, you get an idea of what that formatting can do, and then how to tinker with it to achieve what you need. For instance, to insert images into a table cell, as the author of your military factbook does, just add the code for an image: [img][/img] where you would normally have your table's text.
The different types of tables that you see being used - those shorter ones under "Army" or "Navy", as well as the longer, more complicated ones which outline things like the types of craft or weapons - each of these is the same formatting code for a table, though with different numbers of rows.
This can all take some trial and error to really get a handle on, but just keep playing with it and eventually it will become clear. Or, if not, feel free to shoot me a telegram and I'll try to steer you in the right direction. Sometimes all of that raw bbcode can make your eyes cross!

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, JOIN STATEMENT
Biden walks up to the podium
*places wrist at the microphone*
*CRONCH CRONCH CRONCH*
"Thank you"
Biden descends the staircase leading away from the stage. His knees, ankles, and hips, and spinal column crackling and snapping with every step. He no longer needs the microphone for the sound to be audible. Though he is travelling away from you, the sounds become increasingly loud. Deafeningly loud. He reaches the end of the staircase. He disintegrates into his component parts. The Secret Service begins to recover them and place them in lego boxes for reconstruction at the White House.

The Battle of All Things II: Match Update:
In this match, the drama was finally drawn back. The region was treated to a four part series on Cheddar Man's tale, while the cultists of the Thicc Horse chanted "It chonk. It chonk. It chonk."
Alas, Cheddar Man was part of the Thicc Horse's dietary regimen which empowered its overwhelming mass. And it was, indeed, thicc enough to carry itself to a 38-12 victory.
Tuluni receives a Season 2 Testlandia for surviving this long into the Battle of All Things, the last S2 Testlandia that shall be given out for this tournament. They, too, receive a shiny new 1% badge in international artwork.
The next match begins immediately with Weird Al Yankovic vs. A Badger That Can Perform Necromancy
Since the BOAT has been going on for some time, I have wanted to freshen up the card designs, which I had been using since the original Battle of All Things two years ago. Since I had some half-done vectors already from another project, I have put some time into refurbishing them into a new Outer Worlds style card design for contestants that survived the round of 16. Hope you enjoy.
