Region: Refugia
After my plan to create an uprising of the UTC+ Timezones Gang against the other councillors was foiled by everyone else having frankly terrible sleep schedules placing them in line with the middle of the north Atlantic, an arduous battle took place requiring great mental, physical and emotional fortitude. I was outnumbered, outsmarted, and out of the map. Removed for my entirely righteous struggles (which were not at all crimes, I am innocent!) by a Death Laser, I was lucky to escape with my life and my residency stats. I can and will provide receipts and Discord screenshots posted in triplicate to a dispatch and if we are lucky, inciting a war that will take place on the forums and last for at least 3 days longer than the record. My condemnation is being written as we speak by the August September October body that is the Security Council.
(jk, we needed a new map and I was like "I could do that, I'll move to the new one so it's less scary too")

Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Yay! Hello!
Araine, Falafelandia
My weather wasn't as bad but I couldn't sleep.
KS weather sucks, figuratively and literally. (Laughs in Tornado Alley)
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Not all of us. We still have one foothold in the old map in the form of Chong Qing
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Applied for map2.
Btw, on a totally different note, where is our discord?-I searched for it far and wide but couldnt find any link on any of the admin pages I was sifting through. Please help and tell me where it is a.k.a. provide me with a link. Thank you, fellow Refugi.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
just go to chat.cal.ref

The discord link was removed from the world factbook entry because the admins recently kicked a bunch of inactive accounts from the server. I think it will be back soon.
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Yup! We're doing something big at the moment, almost done :D

Wait a minute is Trials of Apollo just a Riches to Rags Isekai?

The Most Serene and August September October body that is the Security Council. I need to memorize this name and title for future use.

I'm so happy to see a Libartarian Socialistic region construct an embassy with us. The more diverse (within the paramaters established by our regional leaders) the better, IMHO. Cheers!

There is a pretty big gap (17k) between the incomes of the rich and the poor in my nation, however, globally, I am in the top 8% for income equality. Is the average nation in NS really that bad at managing income inequality?

Rice is great, I like rice.
Cheesy Tots, Narwhal, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Estebere
But not if it's sushi rice
Falafelandia, Jazur, Waywards Edge
because that would make things hectic, wouldn't it?
I didn't say hell, ha-
Falafelandia, Jazur
It's not hell, it's sushi rice
Falafelandia
Thank you. Nonetheless,
It's not hell it's sushi rice. And, if possible stop trying to summon me with this.

Come one, come all, to the magical event of the century!
You there, young person, you seem like you need more content. You might think, wait, isnt that a bad word? Its not! Its great to be content, but not great to be content about content, but if your content content makes you content in contention, then thats correct!
Its been long prophesied that CalRef would be splitting our main focus away from Nationstates. That day has come! We are still involved with Refugia, and we still love the people weve met here and befriended, but we needed a swift kick in the shin to get things running properly again. You might have noticed (or probably didnt) the massive number of people that got pruned from our server nary a week ago. You might also have noticed, if you survived that pruning, the archiving of several NS-based channels. FEAR NOT, for great news lies on the horizon!
Oh look, its the horizon- check out the brand new Refugia III server! Weve had so many hard-won, maddening lessons learnt over time, and I think a lot of them have been lovingly-crafted into the bones of this new space. We have map treaty discussion spaces, we have an RP area, we have a new World Assembly space. Its like the first time you go to IKEA I think? Ive never been to an IKEA, but everyone says IKEA is magical. So its like that. Its magical.
Anyway, join below! Its open as of right now:

Hi I am new and have been castaway so many times i need a home that's not mean ):
A Million Dreams, The Merinos, Uwuguaya, The Ledona
Hopefully we can provide that!
Edit: annnnd, they left
Chacapoya, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
They'd left instantly, after posting that exact message in 20 different regions they'd also instantly left, none of which responded to them, so they definitely weren't cast out of anywhere lol
Chacapoya, Typica, A Million Dreams, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Qestion how do you block all other telgrams
And i was kicked out of places one was named karma
They kicked me out for no resion
But i guess there banner does say "and what is maybe slightly evil because sometimes that is what it takes." SLIGHTY EVIL?
I even made a new nation that read :Karma Is good: But the still kicked me out so i made a new nation and forgot about them (:<
Pls no quintuple posting
Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Falafelandia, Waywards Edge, Uwuguaya
you can edit your posts too if you want to add additional information
Typica, Falafelandia, Jazur
Well said, my friend.
Falafelandia, Jazur
i can?
Okay?-Whats it for?
Okay. Thank you. Good 2 know.
Intriguing. Most intriguing. Hope its something good?
Thank you (^.^)
Falafelandia, Jazur
You can, but for decorum sake please don't. Just like you can hit someone for no reason, but you shouldn't. Quintuple post are considered spam, so as said earlier, you can edit the post to add another points

I've used an Emolga Pokémon card as a bookmark enough that I think I'm starting to like them
Falafelandia, Jazur
I've got a Houndoom and a Jigglypuff as bookmarks around here somewhere! Pokemon cards are great for that.
Falafelandia, Jazur, Estebere
Yep. I've also used a Sudowoodo and I might start planning for more later. Actually, do you have any recommendations for my next 'bookmark'?
Falafelandia, Jazur, Good People Of People
Ok thanks and sorry

I came back to say that I was disappointed that there were no fruit wars da third.
so I will start one
*moulk2 proceeds to invade everyone with potato bots*
Falafelandia, Jazur, Estebere
Potatoes are a root vegetable
Not a fruit
So instead I send Carrot in for the Vegetable Wars the first.

RefugiVision Update
I would like to announce that the most voted option for the date of the RefugiVision Event is June 10th-11th, with runner-up being June 3rd-4th, being close to the most voted option. So if you would like, I could post an additional poll between these two dates.
Soon, admissions for the participants and their songs will open and you all will be notified when it happens. If you'd like you can make your own National Final-like lore how you decided that exact song, or you can just fill the form which will be shown when the admissions start :)
The scandals and political drama that is always a part of the competition will be decided by the wheel of fortune and I won't have direct power to decide what will happen to a country during the competition. For the point giving I am yet to decide how it will work. Current idea that I had is that the people who are at the event and represent a country in NS will give their jury points while the audience points will be given, again, with the wheel of fortune (for the unpredictable element).
Chacapoya, Typica, Narwhal, Sylh Alanor, Liphia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Tourismtime
Also if you have any idea or complaint regarding the event, you can always contact me via telegrams or on discord.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
This sounds so cool, I'm hyped for it!!
Chacapoya, Falafelandia, Jazur, Lovoreus Magnus
Is this it? Will the next fruit war be a debate on if potatoes are fruits?
I cant wait.

Potatoes are fruit, and so are Pumpkins and Mushrooms.
Tiralta, Falafelandia
Fine, fine. I'll just go ahead and send the Apple Pears into the battlefield again.\
Edit: With my already present carrots
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
HEATHEN!
Melenavenia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
This is a very fun idea. All contests should include a wheel spin of chaos.
*you receive a letter of censure from the NS World Health Organization*
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Lovoreus Magnus, Uwuguaya
Uwuguaya will ban every nation proclaiming potatoes and pumpkins as fruit from entering and everyone within its borders who does will have to leave the country either voluntarily or by force.
Furthermore, to support the carrot army, Uwuguaya will send an army of lychees and peaches and plums.
Begun the fruit wars have.

Post self-deleted by New Equanimia.
potatoes are root vegetables, not fruits
the do not develop from the ovary of the plant
and they do not contain seeds
also, they produce starch instead of sugar
so they are not fruits
Nollyland, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
Potatoes are most definitely fruits (delusion)
Sylh Alanor, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Thingessness, The Ledona
no
potatoes dont have seeds

Potatoes I can get behind, but Imma have to draw a hard line on mushrooms. Fungi are terrifying and are not to be messed around with
Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Ci Arovannea
Pumpkins are actually a fruit!
Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Ci Arovannea
Berries, specifically.

We sure do love fighting over fruit here dont we.

I should launch the nukes.

My favorite fruits are pineapple and mango but there are so many good fruits I think I ended up choosing the great tomato of neutrality last time. I dont think I can name a single fruit Ive had so far that I didnt like.
Araine, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Thingessness
Does this mean you like pineapple on pizza?
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
It does
Olives too, and those are technically fruits as well.
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia
Yeah, that makes sense. One more addition to the available fruit factions list I suppose.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Mangoes are the best fruit

I am selling six crates of ethically sourced and untraceable pineapple grenades. Meet me behind the 7-11 on the corner of Wiggly Street and Angy Avenue.

* Rolls out the 17th century cannons *
FETCH THE GRAPESHOT
St Leone, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, The Blue Fire
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.
Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.
Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot.
Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog.
I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot,
"Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since
triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Wait what has happened to TCB? Just saw it in the WA voting...
Falafelandia
People love using the SC to push petty nonsense. In this case, TCB is a region that raids sometimes, so people are using that to prevent them from getting a founder and making their region safer and more stable. They're surrounding this with a lot of bluster, but that's what it comes down to. And it's why I voted against it.
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Snoigland
I found it funny that you said pears and apples together, that is probably due to pear being a bad apple, I mean, watered down/nerfed apple, still good, but worse compared to an apple
Tiralta, Falafelandia
i got some axolotls if anyone wants one, be careful with it though, because these are rare axolotls
I don't know where they came from, they just showed up near Port Mort one day and have been just existing in Silliy ever since they appeared, and our people don't really have the will to keep them either because they're lazy, too poor, already have enough pets, and or don't have a tank, and some people i tried to give one but they just came back near Port Mort, so free rare axolotls
display them in an aquarium I don't care too much about what you do with these silly little goobers
Portmanteau, Falafelandia, Jazur, The Blue Fire
i would like two silly little goobers
Falafelandia, Jazur, Silliy
I'll also take two of those adorable beans
Falafelandia, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Silliy
You misunderstand. I'm not actually referring to neither apples nor pears, but apple pears, also known as asian pears. Here, check out this link for more info: https://healthiersteps.com/what-is-asian-pear/#:~:text=Asian%20pears%20are%20different%20from,raw%20or%20cooked%20in%20recipes.
Araine, Nollyland, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Asian pear is a fruit that resembles a pear in appearance but has a low sugar content and is more fibrous than its cousin, the apple. Its also considered a Healthier alternative of apples
Originated in China and was introduced to Europe in the 17th century(coz of colonisation and stuff). In addition to its resemblance to pears, it also tastes like pears.
Tiralta, Falafelandia, The Blue Fire
I dont know Id take a pear over a red delicious apple (clearly the worst kind of apple) any day
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Tiralta, Falafelandia
Someone's only had those fake red delicious apples you get in schools :o

I'm currently using the flag of the khoroshevo-mnevniki municipality in Moscow by the way
Delta Vega Iv, Falafelandia, Jazur
My grandfather actually eats them like theres no tomorrow because they help with his heartburn, so its not just the ones you get in schools its the ones you buy in stores, at least in this part of the US for the 20 years Ive been living with them.
I read somewhere once that theyve bred them to look like the perfect apple with no regard for anything else so theyve just lost all their flavor. No idea what theyre like anywhere else though, or even right off the tree.
Are you referring to the parent variety which Ive just discovered is called the hawkeye? I guess thats what the red delicious was like before. Ive never seen those in stores, but it looks like theyre certainly still being sold somewhere. The ones labeled as red delicious in stores are just like the ones in schools though.
