After another long, long break I'm back with a factbook.
This time it's about Elmas readying for his rule over Crabani with help of friend name Chromes.

Hi
Araine, Aephony, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Crabani, Floodlantis
Hope I can sway the whole influence thing! Came over from Europeia in part because of them changing their endorsement policy, so I've got a boatload of it stocked up from ~5 years there.
Liphia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Floodlantis
Welcome! Unfortunately you'll see your influence decaying for a while because influence is unique to the region it's accumulated in, and it'll be a while before your Refugi influence overtakes your precious influence numbers. But if you endotart in the region you should see a return on that pretty quick!

The Battle of All Things II: Match Update
At long last, with almost everything around us on fire, we can now say that victory has been achieved. "With great profits delivered to the shareholders!"
Melenavenia refused to just fall over. In fact the road rage video series delivered the Aggressive Ford F-250 driver a shock upset over the previous crowd-favourite, A Horse Thicc Enough to Carry You, in a Dewey Defeats Truman moment.
But at the end of everything, who was better suited to carry us into the next life, than the champion whose speciality is doing just that. Despite the Badger's controller experiencing a loss of internet, which prevented this match's art accompaniment, the people of Refugia have rallied around the Badger's built up good will. They carried her forward, campaigning on Morrigan's behalf, generating writing, weird imagery, and the promise of cards.
In a final 35-10 vote, the Aggressive F-250 driver was defeated [and presumably reanimated].
In addition to the glory of having made it to the final match of the competition, Melenavenia receives a Season 1 Testlandia, their choice of a S1 Sionis Prioratus OR S1 Mindless Contempt, as well as a Season 1 Crazy Girl and a Season 1 Helaw. I will rest easy knowing that Melenavenia, being an avid card enthusiast, will get the most out of those prizes and how stupid their scale is.
A Badger That Can Perform Necromancy, therefore, becomes the Champion of All Things. The Badger will be immortalised forever in Dot's familiar command, set at the highest quality level. Morrigan receives a copy of all Melenavenia's card rewards, with two notable additions.
The first is a Season 1 Soops. The Second is a Season 1 Rubyna. These are cards that myself and Sylh Alanor, respectively, metaphorically crawled over glass to obtain. They were originally the results of months of farming and midnight transfers, hours of working through pull events whose mechanics were not fully understood at the time and, now, no longer even exist. They are the rarest legendary cards across card seasons 1 and 2, and the most valuable things we can send.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who got involved in the Battle of All Things. Everyone who spent time coming up with a character idea, everyone who wrote a dispatch, did a comic, made a movie, made a meme, campaigned, put up steep competition, revelled in their success, revelled in their loss. It was a wild idea that we had back in December, and took a lot throw the Battle of All Things II together, but without everyone believing in it and giving their all to it, this event would have gone nowhere. So thanks everyone for playing along for the last four months. It was a lot of work, but sure was fun. I hope you guys think so too.
That's all from me. Congratulations to the winners, losers, and everyone in between.

I am not only glad but delighted to count myself amongst them. From my personal experience, this wouldnt be possible in other regions.
Yaaaasss!-A new ally. I shall vote yeah :)
Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur
Thank y'all so much for making this event in my opinion one of the best we've ever had. It was grand, it was dramatic, and it was nail-biting--well except the last round that trucker kinda got curbstomped. But anyway--it was great!!!
Edit: Also my actual flag is on a device I currently don't have access to so I'm putting it as this. Yeah. Don't judge.

Id pay to. Itd be funny to lift my body up through ghost magic and scare people

I have severe trust issues ever since NS deleted my history factbook draft I've worked over a month for that I'll never have the energy to do again. 😔
edit: I have decided to try but I dunno where to start 😭
Cheesy Tots, Araine, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Morrigan, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire, Penocampt, The Ledona
Sorry to hear you lost such a major piece of writing...that's always very frustrating.
I've come not to trust any of the places where I'm saving work, which I think is probably actually a good mindset to have. Awhile back, I wasn't putting anything up on NS until I felt it was in a more-or-less finished state, but then suffered a hard drive failure that wiped everything. So I've taken to saving any NS projects I'm working on both gameside and on my computer, and then periodically backing stuff up on an external hard drive. And I created a random puppet to store unfinished factbooks, if I'm feeling self-conscious about folks seeing unfinished work.
By the way, I just checked out some of your factbooks, and love the style of the art. Creates a very unique feel for your very unique nation.
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Aephony, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire, Penocampt, The Ledona
Oh I feel that. I'm at the stage where I have thoughts and ideas about starting my factbook since I'm a big fan of worldbuilding, then as soon as I open a document to write my brain just shuts down. I'm real sorry to hear about your draft, but I look forward to checking it out whenever you get it done. You got this! ❤️
Aephony, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
I think making the NS draft as the only source of a big project of mine was such a stupid idea but fortunately there was half of it left in google docs, so it's not completely lost *phew*, appreciate the support much! I spent a bit of time trying to make it at least finishable and will keep updating it until I feel like stopping, it's always great to have backup even if it seems unnecessary cause you'll never know what'll happen
A great inspiration is going on forums and just browsing nations' dispatches, there's some impressive stuff out there, it never failed to wow me, I also look forward to see what you can do! 💓

What would the official language of Refugia?
Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya
Im 90% sure Im wrong, but if I had to guess, English.
Delta Vega Iv, Szalyland, Aephony, Falafelandia, Jazur
There's no official language for Refugia. But English is a language that everyone here speaks (presumably since they read one of our recruitment telegrams), so you might get few conversation partners outside of that.
Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Araine, Aephony, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire

Hi Refugi, I've got a question, If you weren't in Refugia, which Region would you be in?
It's a difficult question but for me personally, I'd probably choose The Bar On The Corner Of Every Region but I'd definitely be sad
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
I have no idea, I love being in Refugia so much. If for some reason I couldn't be here, I'd probably go to Canada at least initially cause I've got to know a few people there while I've been envoy and they're nice folks. But like you I'd be really sad about it.
Either that or I'd just end up leaving NS altogether. It's not really the game that keeps me here but all the cool people. So I guess it depends on the why? Like if idk Refugia got deleted in some weird site glitch I'd probably reach out to folks to rebuild. Tough question Ae!
Chacapoya, Araine, Liphia, Aephony, Falafelandia, Jazur, The Blue Fire

I like that you'd go to your old envoy region too!
Side note to others, I recommend being an envoy, it's a lovely way to get to know some folks and participate more in Refugia ^.^
Chacapoya, Melenavenia, Araine, Liphia, Falafelandia, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire
The people in Spiritus are great. It was only natural that I would connect with them like I did.

Our Foreign Affairs Councillor Sylh Alanor will put out a call when there are spaces! I'm not sure off the top of my head if we're currently missing anyone, but the gist of it is to chat to the embassy region, pass on news from Refugia, and let Sylh know if there is any news from the embassy region too.

IT'S SMOL RMB QUESTION COMPETITION TIME
Friends, I have spent many hours over the past 5 working days writing handover documents detailing how to do my job for the next poor soul it falls to when I leave.
The person who guesses closest to the number of words I have written in 5 days (without going higher than the correct number) within the next 24 hours shall receive an epic S3 card of our fellow Refugi Liphia from me.
Place your bets on the RMB now!

A vote for a new embassy ends in like 14 hours so depending on how that goes, we could definitely have something opened up soon!
Chacapoya, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta, Falafelandia, Uwuguaya
I also only stick around for the cool people here, so Im not sure if Id stay after leaving. But if I were to pick another region I would definitely move to Spiritus. Im the current envoy there, and Ive also had a lot of fun doing N-day with them for the past 2 years.
