I think it's a little simplistic but I see nothing wrong with it. It'll get destroyed because people don't like Tinhampton, but I don't think it should.

Election Notice:
Greetings "humans". Yes, yes we are here. The exciting point in the future where we know everything we did not know four months ago that we would know four months from then. Amazing. Now we have more questions, as uncertainty looms overhead, who will step forward to lead the region into the bright dawn of tomorrow?
The candidacy period is now open for the February 2023 election regarding the following Regional Council seats:
[list]
Councillor of Foreign Affairs, overseeing our relationships and interactions with Refugia's friends and the other places too.
Councillor of Culture, running programs and events that celebrates or expand our community's cultural experience.
Councillor of Operations, overseeing our regional security, and swinging a unwieldy sword at anything questionable.
Councillor of World Assembly Affairs, producing arguments and recommendations about how we should use our 225ish votes, along with those outside our borders.
[/list]
Announce your candidacy to stand for office here in the RMB or in #ground-floor of the community Discord server by tagging/pinging me with your declaration so I will be sure to see it. A week from now, all valid candidates will be entered into election votes for their respective positions.
More on the government structure: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1449847#government
Recollect from RRS 13 that only Member States can run for office.

Monthly reminder that Refuge Isle isn't human and is in fact, an automated telegram service trying to figure out how humans work to report to their alien overlords

Wait, Refuge Isle has nonhuman citizens/is a nonhuman country?
{Me in the back of my head : Could've always been. I'm unsure.}
Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge
:LucaSad:
Chacapoya, Typica, Narwhal, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Waywards Edge
nah, they are elves (i think)
but Refuge Isle sends out telegrams to all the new people and sends them another one if they join. so, my conclusion is that Refuge Isle is not in fact human, and is therefore, an automated telegram service.
Jazur, Tidelia
This is basically how Ancient Greek philosophy works, yeah?
Jazur
It's ok, canonically the leader of Boxiia isn't human! Elric is an outliner and even though AI isn't given citizenship yet, Elric won't judge.
(basically Outliners are amorphous blobs that can shapeshift, they often have a humanoid form)
Narwhal, Sylh Alanor, Jazur, Waywards Edge
Sometimes the telegrams are sent by others!
Chacapoya, Jazur, Waywards Edge, Boxiia
elaborate but maybe
[if Refuge Isle sends telegram] > [Normal, Everybody sends telegrams]
However,
[If Refuge Isle sends thousands of telegrams] > [Refuge Isle is a Automated Telegram Service]
Jazur, Tidelia
Here's my take:
Refuge Isle sends a lot of telegrams.
I have never seen Refuge Isle not send telegrams.
Therefore, Refuge Isle is kept alive by telegrams- or is possibly even a sentient telegram.
Typica, Jazur, Waywards Edge
Refuge Isle is the setting for our community's original RP from 2008. It's basically an island that's created out of code, in a world where scripts are spells, admins are spellswords, and the outside world is a dangerous place, rife with spam bats and noobs. Refugi in Refuge Isle are primarily human, although not all. There are elementals, simplebots, and at least one orc.
There's more on the wiki, although it is very old: https://wiki.calref.ca/index.php?title=FTaWSotR

We at Waywardia are more or less human. Though, talk to the right people, at Arcward International Resettlement Zone, you might find some elves, dwarves, and all kinds of other friends.
For those out of the loop, AIRZ is a multicultural area of Waywardia, and usually a second hand destination for new people, especially those who are recent arrivals to Refugia. It's your average port, but is a sprawling metropolis. It is a mixing pot of all cultures, ethnicities, and everything in between.
Visit AIRZ! A place for the newcomer or experienced adventurer!

Battle of All Things II Update
For the second match, a second upset has taken place where the candidate that was more favoured in the qualifiers was blown away in the actual battle. From this we can conclude that all exit polling and projections are wrong and attempting to know the future is futile!
A Badger The Can Perform Necromancy arose to the high ground, fuelled by undead magicks and its controller's thoughtful webcomic mini-series. As more votes were added to the count, more panels of the story were unlocked. Over the four day battle, voters from across Refugia were drawn in and supplied the Badger with a record thirty votes, end at exactly double the count of The Mighty Greta Thunberg. As a sign of respect and mark of achievement for having made it this far, Greta's homeland of Mare Stellarum is awarded a free Season 2 Testlandia.
The next round begins immediately with Match C: I Like Trains Kid vs. Fan-Fiction, vote today!

As the massive blast doors closed, they suddenly heard loud booms from the surface. The people knew what this meant and they were not happy about it. People screamed and cried in the massive underground complexes whether it was "Where is [blank]" or "I left [blank] or my [blank] up there". And as the days passed, the days turned into weeks and then months. And yet still they heard the horrifying sounds of war on the surface, and then the months turned into years. And yet, the war continued on, the people soon became deafened to the sounds of war, the sounds of metal exploding, people screaming, and artillery shells pounding. And after 4 years, the massive explosions on the surface ended. It was about time they resurfaced to check out what damage the enemy had done.

Hi. Ive been in Refugia for a week now and attempted to send an application for being put on the map, however it said there was some sort of security failure. I dont really know what to do now.
Cheesy Tots, Araine, Rupika, Uwuguaya
Here in Geoffistan the vast majority of the popu'ation is anthropomorphic animals
Narwhal, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Uwuguaya
Well, Uwuguaya is made up of a huge human population; however that being said, uwuguayan pandas (who are very smart animals) have received citizenship, too, and even got political parties catering specifically to their needs and priorities.

Fanfiction vs I like trains kid eh?
Looks like my boy is going to be easily crushed lol

This sounds like the makings of a great postcard, to me...

Don't worry, I received it :)
Security failures usually come up if you've got another tab or window where you're logged into NS and you do something there.

I'm voting Fan Fiction because of the limitless potential of such a venue.
Soccer or association football, whichever term floats your boat.

Im a terrible artist, i would harass ask St Leone to do it, but i've asked a lot of them in that regard.

On the topic of we-here-aren't-human, technically everyone is a completely unique subspecies of human because nobody has the exact same DNA.
Tiralta, Jazur, Uwuguaya
well yes but actually no
unique? yes
subspecies? no
according to wikipedia
"Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two"
therefore your statement fails on the onset of you need two different people to possess the same genetic code and that is impossible
Tiralta, Jazur, Amiyoka, Uwuguaya, Exeron
Identical twins? Do they count?
Jazur, Waywards Edge, Lovoreus Magnus
exception that defines the rule
Tiralta, Jazur
Even identical twins dont have exactly the same dna because of genetic mutations they pick up in the womb
Tiralta, Jazur
Wait, but subspecies cant be defined by whether their genetic makeup exactly matches because as you said that would be impossible
Jazur
that is what esterbere said, I was playing by their rules
Ohhhh ok
Oops I forgot to look at the definition of subspecies
[Strike]then again i also don't know of anything better to use[/Strike]
Scratch that, just pretend I said something waaaaaaay less broad than subspecies.
...I keep thinking that no two people are the same, but then I think that that most likely refers to personalities. I'd say they don't, because I don't think they can be exactly the same on a genetic level.
Tiralta, Jazur
I have just now received a postcard in the mail from one of our tourists who is visiting your lovely country. I think it really captured your national essence:

Morning Refugia!

Good morning, O wonderfully chaotic region of Refugia. I no longer understand even half of what's going on, but that's ok, it's my choice not to delve into and research in depth what I missed in the last hundred posts or so. Please go on. I love being here and joining when and what I can.
I was just wondering about the current WA proposal. Is it even legal at all, site-wise?
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta
Have you voted?

I got one WA endorsement and I'm already in the top 6% of the world-

Oh I consider 12am-4am early morning, 5-6am road rage, 7-9 is work/school, 11am-1pm is noon, 2-4 alive but not, 5-6 is road rage part two electric boogaloo, 7-9 is video games, 10pm-12am is sleep

I'm not sure I've gotten any responses in the last two days, so I'll just go ahead and say again that candidacy is open for the February Regional Council election.
The ballot is here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=50952959
If you would like to run for office, simply state your intention to run here in the RMB or in #ground-floor by pinging me so that I will be able to see it

how do i make a poll
If you're talking about in Refugia, like on the home tab, only government members can make polls. Government members with the specific ability to create polls.
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur
can i like link a poll and just post it? or does nationstates have built-in functionality for that
You guys probably don't remember me, but I was an active member here for some time. Anyway, I'm going to move to another region, sorry. Farewell, Refugia!
au revoir :salute:
Jazur, Basiltown
The only polls on gameside NationStates is the one here: https://www.nationstates.net/region=refugia#poll
They're made by regional officers with the polls permission. There is no other poll function on NationStates.
Chacapoya, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Jazur
Via #ground-floor, I've received three valid candidacies and updated the ballot. Candidacy remains open for an additional five days.
Chacapoya, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Jazur
should i just use third-party poll website?
what I meant was that water tastes more refreshing when you're hot and sweaty...

"I'm John Crenshaw and you're watching Disney Channel. Stay tuned for the crossover you've been waiting for, Cat and Argo run for Culture Councillor with Hannah Montana: The Best of Both Worlds at 7, 6 central on Disney Channel!"
As well as promoting a culture of NationStates/life balance, we hope to bring to the table:
- a special April Fools event
- a stats competition for all you issue lovers out there
- writing competitions and spam games with a high potential for silliness
- an RMB-based guessing game where the correct application of number smashing on your keyboard can win you a weekly prize
