The Golden Sun Empire of Xiomera | Our final Z-Day results: Infected: 0.0% (zero zombies, 826 billion survivors) Considering the last-minute nature of this year's Z-Day, the multiple curves thrown at us (shutting down research, reopening borders on us, etc.) and the deliberately misleading "news" that was part of the event, I think our performance was quite excellent. I second Gardavasque in thanking everyone that was involved in this year's effort. It was an exceptional display of staying focused, sticking to the strategy and working together to push back the zombie hordes. Congratulations, everyone!

The Golden Sun Empire of Xiomera | Democratic Times News Update: A somber day to honor the dead in Xiomera, and the nations of Laeral and Sunemia sign a pair of historic agreements: https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&p=21810#p21810 Trive 38, Maraix, Laeral, Gardavasque, and 1 otherGrand pacifican islands of cupid | |
The Free Bears of Bears Armed | England goes back into 'lockdown' later this week, for at least around one month & possibly longer, so I might be forced to take another break from NS. :( ____________________________________ Anyway, here are a few more suggestions & questions about regional ecosystems for people to consider: LAERAL: 'Chinese Lacquer Tree' (Toxicodendron vernicifluum) & 'Szechuan Pepper' (Zanthoxylum simuaus), under local names. SCIONGRAD: 'Strawberry Tree' (Arbutus unedo), 'Medronho' in Portuguese, and maybe the 'Aguardente de Medronho' liqueur that's distilled using its fruit. UNITED NEW ENGLAND: for the 'seasonal' forests & wooded savanna inland_ Corkbark trees, Blueleafs (endemic Conifer family, with leaves -- long, narrow ones -- rather than needles), Blackwood (or Black Oak, actually a different family to Oaks, but same Order; Ebony-like timber... NOT in large clumps). Trive 38, Maraix, Laeral, Xiomera, and 2 othersUnited New England, and Gardavasque | |
The United Federation of Slokais Islands | Hello Everyone, Sorry I have not been active much in Regional Affairs but I have done a lot of work in the wiki including some work about the upcoming Slokasian election of 2020. I will be posting the results here on December 31st. Here is the link https://www.theidu.us/wiki/2020_election For more info check the main Slokais Islands page, thanks!

The Golden Sun Empire of Xiomera | Democratic Times News Update: A major scandal emerges in the Slokais Islands elections, and Xiomera offers peace talks but also launches a major military offensive: https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2228&p=21814#p21814 Maraix, Laeral, Gardavasque, and Grand pacifican islands of cupid | |
The Free Bears of Bears Armed | OOPS! It's the 'Corkbarks' which have their own family in that Order: The 'Blackwood', or 'Black Oak', just as a genus of their own in the same family as the "true" Oaks, Beeches (but not 'Southern Beeches', which also have their own family in this Order), and 'Chestnuts' (but not 'Horse Chestnut', which is in a different Order)... Order: Fagales | |
Grand pacifican islands of cupid | ive decided to join this place idk | |
The Social Democracy of Gardavasque | Welcome. I hope you enjoy it here. We do have some Karen-free zones if you're looking for you're looking for safe space to be yourself. Xiomera and Grand pacifican islands of cupid | |
Grand pacifican islands of cupid | oh cool | |
The ✨Interstellar Commonwealth✨ of United New England | Sorry for taking a long time to reply; I haven’t been very active on this site lately, mostly due to busyness. Your suggestions look good. Maybe the name of the Western Peacock-Pheasant would be shortened to Peapheasant? | |
The Free Bears of Bears Armed | I quite understand about busyness: Been there, done that... Okay, I'll add those species to the forum thread about your nation's ecosystems when I have time. "Peapheasant", okay: I'll try to post a description of this (which is in my hand-written notes) next time that I'm on, which should be next Monday. I have about a hundred other species (around half of them birds) whose ranges extend into your territory, too... | |
Maraix | Karen-free zones? Oh, President Kreider will want to talk to the manager about that! Also, in breaking news: our small island homeowners' association officially declares its independence. The island is finally ours! Freedom is never given, it is won! Caveat emptor! Laeral, your nation's officials no longer hold any jurisdiction over our islands, and every single one stationed here is hereby relieved of their authority...all six of them, especially the two officers of the Gendarmerie. But they're welcome to stay as our guests until the next ship leaves the island in January. We'll keep them comfortable and include them in our upcoming holidays, no worries, unless they attempt to exert any control over the island. Well, except the doctor, she can keep practicing in the interim, along with her assistant, we've got a lot of retirees here...and if the teacher would keep class in session until the end of the term, that would be great..same with his classroom aide, it's really nice having those two around, the kids love them. But we've got our eye on those two Gendarmerie officers, just in case... Official news on our independence was picked up by the IDU newswire: https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2232 | |
The ✨Interstellar Commonwealth✨ of United New England | Thanks, that idea sounds great! Silky anteaters are adorable. I also like the fact that this species will be named after Dougal Dixon, since I always found his work interesting. | |
The Second Allied Provinces of Laeral | Both of the gendarmes will be quite sorry to leave in January; they've been rather enjoying their assignment to a relaxed tropical island rather than working counter-terrorism or security back in Laeral. But we'll gladly toast your independence and get right to work on figuring out the nature of our bilateral relations going forward. No hard feelings about the whole court case thing. :) I'm also really enjoying reading the newsthread, which is in the form of an HOA email chain-- speaking as someone who lives in a community with an HOA, the formatting and tone is spot-on! It's quite funny. Maraix, Xiomera, and Gardavasque | |

The Free Bears of Bears Armed | All of the species recently agreed to by United New England have been added to the thread about that nation in our forum's Regional Ecosystems' section. I have also added two more posts of suggestions in the thread there about Trilobites. Quintessence of Dust, United New England, Gardavasque, and Grand pacifican islands of cupid | |
The ✨Interstellar Commonwealth✨ of United New England | Quintessence of Dust, I am amused and intrigued by your name. I’d love to learn more about your nation. Bears Armed, Xiomera, and Gardavasque | |
The Democratic States of Quintessence of Dust | A (rather out of date) wiki can be found here: http://archive.nswiki.org/index.php?title=Quintessence_of_Dust The specific origin of the name was: ...it was based on the rebels in the pre-QoD nation passing notes written on scraps of paper torn out of books, and the note that gave the order to begin the revolution was written on a page from Hamlet featuring the Quintessence of Dust speech... | |
Maraix | Maraix initiates assembly formation and appoints a handful of honorary ambassadors and consuls. Details at: https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2232&p=21848#p21848 | |
The Second Allied Provinces of Laeral | Splendid work as always, Maraix-- I laughed out loud while reading this. The email signatures remain a high point. Maraix, United New England, and Gardavasque | |
Maraix | Haha, thanks for the kind words. May Chad’s stint in Laeral be not totally useless. | |
