The Malevolent 🔥 Storm of Thembria SSR | Turns out I just needed to blow the dust out of my computer. there was an entire cat stuck in there! now it's all fast again! Particle, Pookyvania, Allemeine II, and Tinhampton | |
The Interdimensional Domain of Particle | Wow! an entire cat? | |
The Online Simulation of Kingdom of Yutah | Yeah. Apparently, the dust gained sentience and gathered together in the shape of a cat. Particle and Pookyvania | |
The Tropical Empire of NeoPacificus | A dust kitty a more advanced form of the dust bunny. | |
The Malevolent 🔥 Storm of Thembria SSR | Most of our dust is made out of cat so we get dust cats.. | |
The Online Simulation of Kingdom of Yutah | I forgot the issue, but I picked an option that was... well, let's just say I thought it appropriate for Yggdrasil. "The realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools" Particle, Tiku, and East ussr | |
The Interdimensional Domain of Particle | Oh it's about supporting hentai. Something to do with a TV cartoon being that was made overseas is broadcasted in your country and some people want to censor it. EDIT: It's this one. https://nsindex.net/wiki/NationStates_Issue_No._801 | |

Tamanian | I love the new mech they added in no man's sky however I'm a little disappointed that the arms can't do a melee attack or have lasers mounted on them. Particle and Tiku | |
Tiku | Been really emptyish mate. Nothing new. We had elections for a new World Assembly General Secretary and we all got bombarded by 15 mails. Yeah I logged in when it started and I had like 8 Telegrams and I just went Ah mierde what have I done now? It was a welcome change to be bombarded by Campaign TGs. Other than that nothing is happening. Lots of nations CTEing and then coming back. Circle of Life. Hope you're staying safe IRL. Ah very disarming of them... Particle and Allemeine II | |

The 10000 Islands Emissary State of Puppaffnia | Hey Yggdrasil! 10000 Islands is hosting the latest Best Flag and Best Motto Competitions—the first a tradition begun by Goddess Relief Office!—and you're invited to join!: 10000 Islands Best Flag Competition Greetings! It is my distinct pleasure as Cultural Officer of 10000 Islands to announce the return of the Best Flag Competition to 10000 Islands! This event has a storied history, having been run for years by Anime daisuki but fallen out of circulation in recent times. Accordingly, the Cultural Office has decided to bring this back! To further enhance the cultural experience of the contest, we have decided to supplement it with a contest for national mottos and to invite our friends from other regions to participate with us. Best Flag Competition Over the next week, nations may "sign up" by submitting an image of their flag in this sign up thread, along with a link to the flag that is being submitted, or via NationStates telegram to HumanSanity using the nation with the flag you wish to submit. The rules for submissions are as follows:
Submissions will open on 4/8 and close on 4/15 at 5 PM EDT. After the sign up period, flags submitted via the forum will be randomly assigned into "groups" for a round of forum-side voting between 4/15 and 4/22. The top several entries in each group will advance to the final round of voting between 4/22 and 4/29. Flags submitted via NationStates telegram will be voted upon separately using the NationStates on-site polling platform in 10000 Islands between 4/15 and 4/22. More information can be found here After these preliminary "group" voting rounds, the final round of voting will occur entirely on the 10000 Islands forum. Exact voting procedures will be announced once the number of entries becomes more clear. The ultimate winner of the Best Flag Competition will receive a 50,000 Taco prize and a copy of the NS Trading Card Season 1 Epic Anime daisuki.

A separate prize will be available to the best performing on-site flag - they will receive a Season 1 Epic Tzo NS trading card. Best Motto Competition Separately, the Cultural Office will be running a best motto competition. The best motto competition will be run through the 10000 Islands Discord including submissions and voting. Submissions can be made in the channel #best-motto-submission.

The Machine of Pookyvania | Hello all, Forest's ambassador/conscience here has risen from the grave with another preachy thingy: As terrible as the distancing and economic slowdown of late has been, it is undeniable that it has led to a drastic decrease in air pollution across most of the world. Look at https://aqicn.org/map/world/ to compare the current levels in your area to levels in the past. As April 23’s Earth Day approaches, Forest will be reflecting upon how recent measures have decreased our footprints and what we can continue to do to minimize them as social and economic norms return. I have drastically cut back on my already low use of automotive transportation. (It is incredible how many things can be done remotely!) Also, Earth Day is a wonderful time to appreciate nature (even if it is just from your yard), enjoy the clean air and lower levels of light pollution! (Here is a guide to some upcoming night sky events: https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/stargazing-events-astronomy-guide-night-sky-map-april-2020 ) However, please be sure to maintain distancing while you do this! Here is a little Earth Day poetry to wrap this up with: A bird came down the walk: — Emily Dickinson, A Bird Came Down the Walk Particle and Tiku | |

The 10000 Islands Emissary State of Puppaffnia | New update from your friends at 10000 Islands: 10000 Islands Emissary Update Date: March 2020
Government As of this report’s publication, the Government of 10000 Islands consists of: Information about other government officials of 10000 Islands can be found here. March Elections Scheduled elections took place in March for the positions of World Assembly Delegate, Senator for Himes West, and Senator for Lyonnesse East. Additionally, the seat for Senator for New Republica South, left vacant after HumanSanity transitioned to Minister of Labor, was also open for election for a partial term. As his final act as Senator for New Replica South outgoing NRS Senator HumanSanity hosted Delegate and Senate Election Debates prior to voting. Incumbent WA Delegate Kuriko entered the race in a bid to serve for a second consecutive term. Although the result was easy to predict given Kuriko’s popularity, long standing XKI resident and former Senior Senator Hakketomat ran a lighthearted campaign to make a race of it. Hakke managed to garner 8 votes, but with Kuriko getting twenty more than that, the victory was decisive. Incumbent Senator for Lyonnesse East The United Royal Islands of Euramathania and incumbent Senator for Himes West (Gaming User) Marxist germany both ran unopposed, and will continue in their respective roles. The most hotly contested seat was for Senator for New Republica South and the oversight of regional debate in The Grand Debate Hall. Long-time Islander HN67 went toe-to-toe with relative newcomer Dorab and the race was within a few votes from start to finish. In the end HN67 was elected Senator and Council of Nine member, with 20 votes to the opponent’s 15. Congratulations to the winning candidates and to all who put forth a strong campaign. Additional Government Changes 10000 Islands and TITO wish to thank The United Royal Islands of Euramathania for their temporary stewardship as TITO Executive Officer. Former XO Aschente has returned to this role in a full-time capacity, and will also maintain their role as a TITO Technical Liaison. The knights apprentice of sargon reman will no longer serve as 10000 Islands’ Minister of Immigration or WA Secretary. The region extends its thanks to Sargon Reman for their service in these roles. THX1138 has stepped down as Senator for Blue Canaria North after being selected as the region's replacing Minister of Immigration by Chief Executive Markanite. Deputy Minister duties will continue to be carried out by Haivon Chief Executive Markanite has appointed Pelanesomunk as interim Senator for Blue Canaria North. Other appointments of note include Kortexia as Awards Czar; The knights apprentice of sargon reman as Deputiy Minister of Education; Dorab as XKI Emissary to The North Pacific; and Ketab as XKI Emissary to The Coalition of Democratic Nations BULLETIN - Kuriko elected as WA Secretary-General While this is the report for March, we would be remiss not to extend our congratulations to XKI World Assembly Delegate Kuriko on their recent election as World Assembly Secretary-General as well as to Vice Sec-Gen The Salaxalans. We also wish to extend our congratulations to all of the final five candidates and their running-mates on a good race. Our thanks to the many, many regions who boosted for Kuriko, and to all those who cast contributing votes. A full report on results will appear in the report for April. Around the Islands ~ The Council of Nine has voted in favour of creating an RMB RP Embassy Region to provide a venue for those in XKI who enjoy RMB roleplaying. This region will remain uninhabited and only accessible to those residing in XKI. The naming of the new region has been put to citizens in the form of a New Region Naming Contest with a 20,000 Taco prize for the winner. XKI Game-Side March’s poll of the month asked Islanders what we really, really like. March’s curated RMB posts (almost) ignore the elephant in the room: surely someone offers this essential service WA Affairs Mar 2, 2020 GA Oceanic Hazardous Waste Disposal Ban: A reworking of previously failed legislation barring the disposal of hazardous waste in oceans and their tributaries. Mar 3, 2020 SC Liberate The East Pacific: A tongue-in-cheek faux liberation drafted by the region’s Delegate Mar 6, 2020 GA Repeal Promotion of Recycling: Seeking to remove previously passed legislation mandating measures for national recycling programs. Mar 12, 2020 SC Commend Kindjal: An appeal to commend the target for exceptional achievements in statistical gameplay. Mar 13, 2020 GA Disease Naming Compact: Seeking to harmonize international nomenclature of disease strains via existing WA health organizations. Mar 17, 2020 SC Commend Cormactopia Prime: Citing the nation’s contributions to their region, WA authorship, and community leadership. Mar 17, 2020 GA Interference-Causing Equipment Standards Act: Outlining restrictions on devices specifically designed to interfere with normal operation of electronics, and measures for proper shielding between devices. Mar 21, 2020 GA On The Health and Financial Well-being of Workers: Proposing partial financial compensation for workers forced to take sick leave, bereavement leave, or leave for the birth of a child Mar 24, 2020 SC Condemn Cormactopia Prime: Partner piece to the previous commendation, from the same author this time seeking to commend the target for nefarious deeds. Mar 25, 2020 GA Repeal Disease Naming Compact: Seeking to repeal legislation passed earlier in the month, citing unnecessary bureaucracy Meet A Nation Interview This month we had the exceptional good fortune of finding 10000 Islands’ WA Delegate Kuriko with a few minutes to spare, and a willingness to answer some questions. While this is the March report, given the recent election as WA Sec-Gen, we added a follow-up question last week.. In addition to being XKI Delegate and newly elected WA Secretary-General, Kuriko is also XKI Chief of Staff, Registrar-General, overseer of Foreign Affairs, TITO Knight and former Tactical Officer,and currently holds the record for most Security Council resolutions passed. THX: You’ve spent many years in NationStates. What is the most significant change to the game since you started? Until next month, your 10KI Update Staff is signing off - THX1138 | |
The Online Simulation of Kingdom of Yutah | "Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Yutania Natural History Museum." While they could have done better on the aesthetics, I approve of the principle. Knowledge must be protected and preserved by all means. Tis why my nation has the Royal Archives, protected by no less than a dedicated post of soldiers and Royal Guard. Particle and East ussr | |
The Malevolent 🔥 Storm of Thembria SSR | Haven't seen a Belldandy in a while.. Particle and Tiku | |
Sternberg | Well, we better track her down soon, Thembri. The local Veroandrite cults here are getting antsy- CITIZEN, BACK AWAY FROM THE RAZORWIRE! | |
The Tropical Empire of NeoPacificus | Meanwhile at NeoPacificus HQ many prominent figures of government sit at the table spaced apart at least 6 feet. Central Health Director Saaya Yakushiji Concludes her presentation: "As you can see current estimates suggest that unless we shut down the whole nation we'll have millions of losses" Economic Director Gunray: "Shut down the nation...Is that legal?" The Sovereign Interjects from behind his mask: "I will make it legal. Reports have indicated a second outbreak in the Southern regions" Gunray continues: "This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!" Supreme Field Marshal KOS-MOS chimes in: "Three divisions have already been deployed for humanitarian and pandemic operations. Four of our medical ships are undergoing their last overhauls and shall be online within 22 hours" Colonel Radec takes a deep breath from his gas mask before adding: Riot forces have been sent into the major cities in all sectors...and if everyone wore gasmasks all the time like me, we would not have this problem..." Berserker General Nanoha Takamachi encased in a shimmering pink bubble of anti viral magical shielding adds: "We're all ready to preform wide area aggressive cleansing protocol, should the need arise. We are also training our forces to kill while maintaining social distancing!" Mechanicum's top idol Megurine Luka: "All concerts have been postponed until further notice" Sky Admiral Minna Dietlinde Wilcke: "What's an idol even doing here?" Neko Lolian representative Chocola: "What about the $1000 checks that are suppose to be sent out? Will the protectorate get it too? I really need some milk money!" Before anyone could reply one of the guards started coughing The Sovereign as he starts walking out the room avoiding everyone: "Great meeting, hope talk to you guys soon...preferably from home over the internet or something" |
