You’re welcome. You’re in luck, the map was just updated, there are no unmarked claims.

There is no wrong answer just want to hear what you think.

Education for all! :3 It sucks that it'll be bad but with any education is better than none and it will evolve to better. I guess?

It's easier on the discord if you are on there? Pretty much we need you to stake a claim to a piece of land, tell us your nation and your capital and the colour you would like to be! xD

Wassup STU! Earlier we had a discussion on Milo, which is a choc malt milk drink. So I'm interested to know, what is your favourite addition to have with milk?

I mostly just drink pure milk, to be honest. Occasionally cacao.

Banana flavouring. Banana milk is my favourite drink ever :)

a good english tea

One of these three: pure milk, Milo, or tea (which I would add evaporated milk to.)

Tea, naturally.

There's a certain brand of banana milk from Taiwan I get. I don't ever buy milk so I never really make my own banana milk :P

Have you had condensed milk in tea? Evaporated is lighter.

I don't add much milk to my tea anyway.

Like how is that a thing? I thought evaporated milk was for like, cooking or something!? Not tea o.o

And no, I've never had condensed milk in tea either! That would be so sweet o.o

What's wrong with my Confederacy theme? The native american tribes in the new England territories founded it anyway and as a Native American descendant. I plan on using it.

I wouldn't know. I've never had hot tea. I've had room temp tea, but still sweetened.

Cold Sweet tea ia a southern thing, most North and Western States like hot tea. While 99.9% of Southerners don't.

Because it's hot as balls in the South? xD

Antarctic Sarnz wrote:Maybe you should try it, you'll like it.

I'll give it a shot, but I didn't like the warm tea, so hot doesn't sound great tbh. But I only live once, worth a shot.

Uncuteatoo wrote:Because it's hot as balls in the South? xD

TBH idk, we just hate hot tea. That is probably a great reason, cause the heat index here around mid summer can get from like 110. I've seen it 120 Fahrenheit (48.9 Celsius) here before when I lived in a swamp.

Cold tea isn't even tea its basically equatable with Coke or Pepsi at that point

The Nebula Sovereignty wrote:Cold tea isn't even tea its basically equatable with Coke or Pepsi at that point

Not really, the taste is still severely different.

The Confederated Kii Islands wrote:Not really, the taste is still severely different.

That's not what I meant i meant that the difference is so great and that iced tea was equatable with drinking soda

Does hot tea really taste that different from cold tea?

Uncuteatoo

The Confederated Kii Islands wrote:Does hot tea really taste that different from cold tea?

I taste no resemblance at all really

The Confederated Kii Islands wrote:Does hot tea really taste that different from cold tea?

I feel like it tastes quite different. Even just the taste between a hot, recently made cup and a cup that's been left to cool is quite different.

The Confederated Kii Islands wrote:Does hot tea really taste that different from cold tea?

I definitely think it's different!

Uncuteatoo wrote:I definitely think it's different!

Interesting, I'd never guess. But i've also never tried it. I only wan't cold drink usually cause it's warm year round here. It was like 75 degrees Christmas day and I went to the beach. Ima try hot tea, should I put sugar or anything in it? Up for any recommendations.

The Confederated Kii Islands wrote:Does hot tea really taste that different from cold tea?

When it's cold, the tea flavor is less noticeable

Yes, definitely put sugar, unless you don't feel like it

I'll try it and let you know how I like it. I'm taking y'alls word on it. So don't let me down.

I usually have my tea without milk or sugar, just hot water and tea.

*There's also a lot of different teas, with very different tastes.

Well you could put sugar in it. But I honestly have mine without sugar and without milk. It's really up to you. Herbal teas don't need anything. Black tea can be good with sugar and milk. It's personal preference really xD

May I ask but what does a dispatch exactly do? Are there benefits and drawbacks of doing it?

I don’t really know

United South Africa wrote:May I ask but what does a dispatch exactly do? Are there benefits and drawbacks of doing it?

They're just stuff like facts about your nation, events in NS, or often memes. Whatever you want. There's not really any drawbacks.

Uncuteatoo

Well, I made a realistic military factbook.

My equipment sucks so much it moves from being silly into being awesome.

Personally, I use them for regional documents, which I pin to the WFE.

Where can one find the factbook?

Eflad wrote:Ok I need to get explained the while concept of factbooks

Well, they´re (text) documents you can find on the second tab of a nations mainpage, right below the ratings for economy, political freedom and civil rights. They´re intended to be facts about your nation, like a summary of its history or your code of laws, but you can basically put anything there. Our director here has the regions constitution and map on his.

You can choose the size of your claim, just as long as it is not too big or not too small. Population, and NS stats in general don't matter on the map.

United South Africa wrote:How does one lay claim please? I can’t seem to figure it out?

So you go to #nation-profiles and send the details of your nation that are needed (check the pinned messages), then go to #ooc and establish your claim (check pinned messages for the things you need to do)

Greetings Citizens!

The Government is recruiting!

I am sure you are aware that we've had a major influx of new people recently, and that as a result I have been busy processing everyone's RP map claims, an immediately obvious part of the region to take part in. I am glad we've had such volume.

I now feel it is time to make clear to you all that this region has far more opportunities within it than just our map. Our government has multiple departments to suit many areas of interest within the game, and at the suggestion of our People's Tribune, United Angeer, I have just created another one called Community Affairs, to present you all with even more avenues to explore.

Please take a look at this dispatch for all the types of government jobs which are currently available, and apply if you're interested in any!

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1356429

If you have any further questions about what specific departments are for, please don't hesitate to ask.
