Region: Refugia
I voted in the election, but I think both candidates could do an excellent job and I'm happy to be in such a quality community.
EDIT: I also voted against the current WA security council resolution. I don't fully understand the issue, but it doesn't seem like trading cards should be within the purview of the security council.

Is it strictly necessary to wait 7 days to obtain a piece of land?

You need to have resided in the region for 7+ days and be a WA member in order to be on the map.

Hi!
I'm very new here and to NationStates in general. Was just recently introduced to it by my partner who was an og player.
Just thought I'd take a moment to say hello, and excited to be here and queer!

Both candidates for Ops seem great choices to the position, and I wish luck to both of them! (I voted but prefer to keep my vote private)

This is a secret tribute nation to this great region. :-)

I would consider it to be an island in that case, assuming it still emerges from the water.

How do I import images into my fact book

You can't. You have to upload your images to an image hosting site (I use Imgur myself) and then link them using the [img] tag.

The school where I work has been threatened on social media. Cops say it's an unsubstantiated threat, but I am not particularly inclined to trust cops. And I am in the US, where schools are not nearly as safe as they ought to be.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Letargia, Haibaria
Stay safe. Hopefully it's not serious.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Kaltea
Jesus :(
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Kaltea
Stay safe! I know thats a really scary experience. [Trigger warning] They recently found a rifle cartridge at my school, which was terrifying. Our classrooms are really old and dont even meet fire code, so theres only one exit per room. I started taking my pocket knife to class in case of a shooting. Im a pacifist and the idea of hurting someone is really awful, but obviously if I could stop or even slow down shooter I would try. Hiding under desks is completely useless. Thankfully nothing happened and school is out for summer break now, but Im still worried about next year. Its awful that people have to worry about being murdered at school. I know someone who is a middle school teacher and she was telling me that shes started clearing out her cabinets so that she can hide kids in them in case of a shooting. I hope that the cops are right and everyone at your school will be okay.

Mine would be the ability to not drop cutlery. It sounds mundane, but I drop my cutlery at every meal so it would make a big difference to my life.

Id like to be able to put my weight on the thinner branches of trees without breaking them.
Lethodus, Typica, Floofybit, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta
Okay but this sounds great because I drop knives while cooking and barefoot all the time so it'd be rad to not have an impromptu game of the floor is lava while making food.
Araine, Floofybit, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Ladita, Penaslavania
Id really like the ability to repel all insects and arachnids from whatever building Im currently occupying, especially considering I was awakened this morning by a rather large spider crawling on my arm that promptly vanished when I got up to get something to deal with it.

I would choose the power to change the thickness of drinks so I don't suck the juice out of slushes and have a cup of lonely crushed ice. The slush would finally come out smoothly through the straw. And who knows, maybe there's a practical use 😅

Ooooooh, animals!!! The Pacific Tree Octopus is my favorite imaginary animal. It's only a myth sensu lato, but oh well. Giant Pacific Octopus are unbelievably fascinating animals and I think turning sea creatures into tree creatures is an adorable idea.

i disagree Franklin D. Roosevelt is better
I just looked at my nations leading causes of death and discovered that 1.6% of deaths are caused by beaver attack. My population is currently at 40 million, if all of them died now that would mean 640,000 of them would be killed by beavers.
Should I be concerned that there are suddenly maneating beavers roaming around my country? The mental image of a beaver attacking someone is quite funny but Im sure this is no laughing matter. The beavers numbers will only grow. I guess its time to start chopping down trees or something before they take over the whole country.
Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Kaltea, Roseven, Penaslavania
Just control there number.they shouldnt be too many and little in numbers.

I think the best course of action would be addressing the underlying issues causing this aggression among your beaver population. Work with local beaver community leaders to seek input from those whose lives are being impacted the most by this violence, and who may have insights not available to outside observers. Send more funding to the dams, so as to empower these local beaver leaders to find solutions apart from your administration. Consider youth programs aimed at disrupting the cycle of violence that young beavers can often become trapped within. Funding things like after school programs and vocational training for young beavers may provide such alternatives. Rebuilding institutions within the beaver communities, such as community centers, libraries, collaborative workspaces, and art clubs, can go a long way towards preventing beaver violence occurring in the first place.

Hello Refugia! It's time for a World Assembly discussion post. This one is on Commend The Noble Thatcherites.
Commend TNT (Thatcher) is a commend for their extensive region-building in The Union Of Democratic States (UDS), including legislative, diplomatic, military, and general contributions to the well-being and power of the region.
Despite the name, Thatcher is very commendable. UDS has long been a notable UCR, commanding high endorsement levels and holding a sizable treaty network, and Thatcher has contributed greatly to its success. I am personally for.
What are your thoughts?

Hi there, Nice to meet you. I'm from Israel, and one of the reasons bringing me to NS is to practice and improve my English.
I play 3 nations at the moment (this one and 2 others), and Refugia is my most favorite region.
One of the things I like about this region is that in spite of this game being a simlation of International relations, we avoid Real-life political discussions here.
I hope you enjoy your stay here and develope your nation well.
Cheers!

Unfortunately, no. After I got to Refugia I haven't really looked for anywhere new to live because Refugia was home. But you can search for a specific type of Region with the tags at the bottom of the Change Region page. But I'd advise you to find the authoritarian fun on the forums because it would be nice for you to stay!

When I started in the game, I tried to read the issues carefully to make the best decision. I then seemed to notice an improvement in my bonuses when choosing options with priority in their drafting order. Wouldn't it be fairer if the options appeared in random order?
Floofybit, Portmanteau
Many times, the later options will reference some of the earlier options, so randomizing the order would make it very difficult to parse. The description of the choice should also give you a reasonable idea of the effect it'll have, too. And of course, improvement is entirely subjective within this game. So while you definitely have a valid point, I think the current system overall works better.
