Region: Refugia
my wine industry is at the risk of fluffy facists up north due to complications and it must be protected
Cheesy Tots declares neutrality in the on-going fruit wars as really we're mostly concerned with potatoes, which are not fruit. All who wish for refuge from this conflict are welcome in Cheesy Tots, so long as you have favorable opinions of the potato.
Furthermore, at the behest of The Auxiliary Totian Organization, we would like to raise for discussion amongst the academic community a new World Assembly phenomenon called Commend Esternial. TATO's investigation believes the phenomenon originated from this thread.
This mysterious proposal records the exploits of Esternial, whom it regards as one of the highest storytellers of the multiverse. It elaborates by then showcasing a variety of the individual's contributions to a variety of roleplays including "Border of Reality" (a series on a mutant-human war), "Postapocalyptica" (a highly involved science-fiction novel), "Children of Infinity" (a fantasy roleplay), "the Academy" (wherein a normal school day turns into a monster-fighting adventure) and others. Beyond mentioning multiple roleplays which the nominee substantially contributed to, the resolution also discusses a variety of characters Esternial has developed during their roleplay career. The player is also lauded for creating two discussion areas for Portal-2-The-Multiverse roleplayers that have been in use for an apparently long period of time.
We in Cheesy Tots have to say we are absolutely in support of this proposal. Roleplayers who spend years furthering the literary content of NationStates absolutely deserve recognition; this proposal showcases that well with a great slew of examples ranging from roleplays the nominee has written, characters they've developed in said roleplays, and specific actions they've taken to develop further push roleplays (such as leading their own or taking over installments of larger roleplays). The resolution's solid rhetoric makes it thus clear this nominee has taken much effort to improve be a beneficial force for the P2TM roleplay community. It's narrative is also extensively well-written, recounting and paying homage well to Esternial's roleplays while making the resolution a highly enjoyable read.
Therefore, we're glad to recommend voting FOR "Commend Esternial" - but as always, we are interested in the thoughts of other nations.
On another note, we'll also recommend voting FOR "Deposit Insurance Fund, seeing as no contrary opinions were presented.
We stand for peace during these fruitfully trying times, and hope that a fruit-victor may be declared soon so that the world may return back to awaiting the next fruit-related conflict.

Potatoes really are one of the best food crops.

We're having a friendly war to determine which fruit is best! ^.^
Feel free to choose a side, introduce a new fruit contender, or remain neutral. And welcome to Refugia!

...And you tell me after several hot air ballons crossed our border without IFF?
Is this a casus belli?
After a reported border crossing by several balloon shaped vehicles, the 50th Emergency Response Air Defense Squadron, piloting Apache choppers intercepted these balloons over Ardendal Air Force Base. We believe Floofybit is attempting espionage to determine our air defense capabilities. As a result, we forced these balloons to land. The crews are currently being held in the local military prison. Contact our embassy in Floofybit for a prisoner exchange.

We would like to emphasize grape juiceries as we do not produce wine. It has been reported that we have arrived at the juiceries unarmed, and the workers willingly gave up their weapons to the military in support of the tangerines. They have all each been given a paid leave along with benefits as we are not currently producing or importing grape products or direct byproducts. We will search for new jobs of equal or better pay for them until the war subsides.
Rupika, Tiralta
🫡 Potatoes are quite an important part of our culture and are truly one of the best food crops.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, St Leone, Tiralta, Powesaria
We insist that the pilots were acting in a peaceful manner. If you search the cargo, all you will find is tangerines. The tangerines are pure, 100% tangerines, and not a single one is poisoned. We only wished for you to try tangerines, and wish that you return the pilots, as they have no information of any war projects that could ever happen.

The Royal Federation of St.Leone would like to introduce you to the cloudberry.
It might not be a fruit but it is a rare, expensive and important delicacy in St.Leone.
It can be found in Southeastern Leone and is a staple in the Leonean national dessert, where it is turned into cloudberry cream.
Do not shy away from it, it has the colour of wealth, the taste is a mix of both sweet and sour, the perfect balance to put in a dessert.
ORDER FROM ST.LEONE NOW!
ONLY 20LK PER KILO!
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, Powesaria
Cloudberries look so yummy! They look as if they we a cross between a blackberry and a mango!
Sylh Alanor, Araine, St Leone, Tiralta
High in vitamins, nutrients, and starches. Theyre tough due to growing as underground tubers, so an invading army can walk right over them *cough*. And not to mention they can be prepared in so many ways. Baked, scalloped, fried, the list goes on. All hail the potato.
Floofybit, Tiralta
Well, in general, there are a lot of potatoes in Europe.
Tiralta, Powesaria
The tangerines request an alliance with the potatoes and wish peace among the potatoes and tomatoes unlike last time.
ALL HAIL THE TANGERINE
PRAISE THE MANGO
PEACE AMONG TOMATOES AND POTATOES
Sylh Alanor, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Powesaria
Oh they grow here in norway (kinda rare-ish, but ive found some from time to time), and we do indeed mash them and mix them into cream to create what we call "multekrem" (cloudberry cream).
People are very mixed on if they like it or not tho cx
Its pretty good ig :P

My grandmother basically worships them but the rest of us don't like them so we have to awkwardly turn them down a lot

Okay so I'm allowed to violate your airspace?
Alright boys, pack up those Avro Vulcans, we are going on a trip
Tiralta
Waywardians that are in Floofybit are advised to return to Waywards Edge.
Tiralta, Dimm-A-Land
I said that I wouldn't send tangerines. You roleplayed as if I did, so that means you technically gave permission. I did not.
Tiralta
(OOC: I thought you were trying to justify a war by this)
Floofybit, Tiralta
I understand. I was only trying to make this a little effect of the war. Sorry for misunderstanding 😅
Tiralta
wait we are at war now?
well i mean i did just order an airdrop of grapes...
Tiralta, Dimm-A-Land
I'll only act in self defence, this is a cold war now, I am not hostile

Grape-Tangerine Cold War - Sept 29 (Or 30, depends on your time)
Floofybit, Tiralta, Dimm-A-Land
with the call of the new cold war, president of rupika Komarov Billards after the wine industry collapse steps onto the stage to a crowd of rupikans " today is a dark day, a new cold war is on the doorstep of our country, a battle between the company and national interest with one of the major economic sectors to refugia economy, fruit. the attacks on tangarines and grapes have devastated relations with both players in the war for rupika, some of you are mad i know, after floofybits seizing of the wineries up north, i will not join in this war, i intend to keep SEDA at peace, as of now wineries would be moved to more friendly nations to make sure they would not be harassed for just working their normal jobs, and instead replace our wineries with cactus fruit plantations under standard fruit co. protection, armed with company security to make sure our workers are not attacked by tangerine or grape nationalists thank you all, god bless rupika "
Floofybit, Waywards Edge, Dimm-A-Land
Dimm-A-Land will do whatever is needed, to ensure the safety and security of SEDA and its signatories . Our support is unwavering and steadfast in these trying times
Floofybit, Rupika
Waywards Edge would like to request a non-aggression pact between Waywards Edge and Rupika. I do not wish for war on our shared island.

(( OOC: * chuckles in cold war * ))
I would like to emphasize this again. JUICERIES. We do not produce wine. Also, we are not harassing the grape juice makers. We are giving them paid leave and better paying, possibly more fun jobs! We will not attack you Rupika, as we prioritize peace, and will only act in self defence.
Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Tiralta
This is dispatch-worthy. :0

Unacceptable, do not personify people in the region as fascists.
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Junitaki-Cho, Aephony, Tiralta, Powesaria
As a point of reference. We are not, nor do we support fascism.
We will also keep peace towards your nation, and any acts of self defence will take place outside of your nation

In less inflammatory news (ironic, given it's centred around the recent site-wide nuclear war), I have published our official report of the events of N-Day. Take a look, read about the heroism and fun that was had.

"Gotta love being in the state of Strategic Readiness 4. Full blackouts, Curfews, and air defense drills. Very quiet in the streets of Serenina. National Guardsmen are patrolling the streets. It looks straight out of a dystopian film in the 1980s."

I may be on that list, but to be honest, I forgot about N-day and so I completely missed it. Next year I guess.

Official statement on the current fruit war terrorizing our region from High Counsel Sam Gallahad of Estebere.
"Word of the fruit war has reached my ears, and I would like to announce that the Esteberian government is working on creating a non-agression treaty between us and Floofybit, and us and Waywards Edge. We do not wish to have tangerines or grapes littering the streets of Adrad, nor do we wish to have to send asian pears to others. At the present moment we have the vote at 1-1, with our Parliament deciding for, and the Three Councils have decided against. At the present moment I am arranging a meeting with the Counsels of each of our states to discuss our vote. Along with this, Maia Dempsey and Seyama Basho, Heads of the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Fruit Warfare Branch of our Department of Military Affairs have been removed, as their actions involving this fruit war were unfounded and required a proper vote within the Three Councils to be carried out. Along with this, the Department Council is meeting to discuss the end of the Branch of Fruit Warfare. Thank you. I hope we can once again be at peace,"
-High Counsel Sam Gallahad of Estebere
(OOC: They were lying. Still expect some missiles on Sunday. Still blow them out of the sky. I don't want to miss an amazing opportunity to cause mischief like this to slip away. Oh, one more thing. GLORY TO THE ASIAN PEAR)

When you start asking for favorite fruits and accidently start a multinational war and cold war
Delta Vega Iv, Cheesy Tots, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, St Leone, Tiralta, Estebere
We here in St.Leone are inovators, pioneers, we are taking a new stance. We do not concern ourselves with fruits. No. The allmighty cloudberry is where its at.
We would also like to point out that we do not wish to spread this obviously superior berry with anyone forcibly, although, as mentioned,
we will be selling this St.Leonean staple/delicacy to the rest of Refugia for the low low price of 20LK per KG.
We are also willing to trade with others, we give you some cloudberries to try out, in return you send us some of your specialty and/or favourite for us to try out,
how does that sound eh?
. . . Oh yea. . . we are taking a netural stance for the time being . . .come to think of it, we should probably have started off by saying that but oh well.

Floofybit
Oh we are just gonna bomb them with grapes.
Rejakhta, our faithful ally, has provided us with a grape firing railgun, for 26 million planets.
Where ya gonna get that many grapes from?
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Tiralta, Powesaria
wow wow wow who said i was pro grape im pro C A C T U S F R U T
Floofybit, Powesaria
Funny you should ask. I have 23 million grapes in stockpile, the railgun fires 2, and each Avro Vulcan can carry 10 supply boxes, carrying 100 grapes. Math.
NAP, so you can't attack me
Powesaria
why would i attack you mate? ill never bring war on the island
Waywards Edge
Correct. We are good friends. Anyway, do you want to purchase some Waywardian Wine?
20 planets a bottle
Vote and then see who has the best fruit!
(It's tangerine)
(And then mango)

We don't need no democracy, we can settle this by yeeting fruit at eachother. Very fair.

Perhaps the next iteration could be called something like a Fruit Symposium, in the hope of a more peaceful process?
Anyway, I had the most incredible cherry tomatoes recently, from a farm in New Jersey, US. They were so fresh and so juicy and so crisp...it was one of the best experiences of my life. I will dream about these tomatoes.

When applying for a place on the regional map, what does it mean by "Size of Nation"? Is it population? Or maybe what it says in the country description? Or something else?
Araine, Floofybit, Tiralta, Powesaria
wow, ok then
Ace combat 7 reference, alicorn time

How much space you want your nation to occupy on the map. Your nations size on the map will also be dependent on your population and/or how long you have been in Refugia/your regional influence.

I dont know, I guess saying something like:
"Hi, ive got (so and so big) population and ive been in Refugia for (this long), and i'd like my nation to be pretty big (or small or whatever), relatively to the mentioned stats"
idk im just saying random stuff that maybe, possibly, could work cx
