24 nations participated, pretty good. Slightly down from 26 of the last poll.
Most nations in the region are issues-focused players with 54% (13/24) nations indicating they are stat and achievement-driven. The nations that selected this option were all less than 1 billion in population
The amount of RP-focused players and the amount of who's played a while and aren't as engaged are about the same at 16% (4/24) of nations.
A couple of nations (8%) have a lot going on IRL so it's been hard to engage in the game, fading in and out. The nations that selected this option, as well as the last 2 mentioned, were more likely to have populations of over 1 billion
One nation indicated they are just starting out and is just trying to figure the game out

26 nations participated in this poll. Pretty good! higher than many of the previous polls!
42% (11/26) nations would be cool with a virtual option and was the most popular choice
Dispute my very bad grammar, people still understood and decided security is important and should hike taxes to pay for it. Specifically, 27% (7/26) participants felt this way.
Although almost the same amount, 23% (6/26), would save the money and invest in their own nation instead
A couple of nations actually opt to provide their own situation with their nations, as seen below

22 nations participated in this poll, one less than the last poll. Still a reasonably good turn-out whenever we get more than 20 votes.
55% (12/22) nations wanted to gauge which stage in everyone is in how they play NS, so that'll be our next poll topic. Slated for early August
32% (7/22) participants were curious who watched anime, which somewhat surprised me. Since I reference anime in RP, I was just curious about it myself. This poll topic will take place in the second-ish week of August
Lastly, 3 nations wanted to know who in the region has enacted legislation on AI citizenship within their nations. Tx Sparanoda for this topic suggestion. This poll topic will be put up around the 3rd week of August
The last week of Augst will see another poll to determine Sept's poll topics

23 nations participated in this poll. it's reasonably good turn-out whenever we get more than 20 votes, but some of our best polls were in the 30s!
61% (14/23) of nations prefer RP to take place in current day and was the most popular choice
At second place was a fictional, non-typical timeline with 6 votes, which is my preference for RP as well as I RP based on lore established from a fictional anime series.
Conventional tropes of a sci-fi future and fantasy past also got 2 votes and 1 vote respectively, rounding off the rest of the votes
Surprisingly, no one wanted to RP in the historic past. I guess history is boring :P
Interesting, not only was the current day the most popular choice, it was the overwhelming choice of WA nations. With 9 of the 14 votes from WA nations, just the votes from the WA nations would have won this poll for the current day!

WonGya wrote:SUMMARY REPORT FROM OUR LATEST POLL page=poll/p=160042 Out of curiosity, please give your feedback, do you guys actually like these summaries, let me know if you don't. Hoplites! Based on your participation in what should a united Cape of Good Hope currency be called, here are the highlights:
30 nations participated in this poll, which makes it among the highest participated polls in recent history
Unfortunately, the majority of nations (53%) voted that the whole idea was a bad one and that the cape shouldn't unite into a single currency. The message has been heard loud and clear but the outcome was also a bit unexpected as I only intended the poll to be hypothetical, 'If' all of the regions united into an EU like region with a unified currency, what should be the currency be called? (i.e. in the EU they use euros). Nonetheless, this option was for anyone who had strong feelings against such an idea and indeed many nations did!
In terms of people who did enjoy the idea, the option 'Golden Seashells' (proposed by Sparanoda ) being a very Cape of Good Hope themed currency name, was the most popular option with 30% of the votes.
Second most popular choice was Capos, which I just randomly came up got the remaining 17% of all votes.
Surprisingly 'Hopes' did not receive any votes even though it was proposed as a name by several in the pre-poll. And 'Goods' also received no votes, probably for obvious reasons.
Thanks again for this poll topic and everyone who participated! If you have a poll idea please post it on here at the RMB or telegram me as it's almost assured to be made into an official poll.
Our next poll will be to determine the hosting nation for CGHIS2020 RP (Cape of Good Hope International Summit 2020) and, And as always, I'll put up the next regional poll soon.....
WonGya wrote:SUMMARY REPORT FROM OUR LATEST POLL page=poll/p=159706 Hoplites! Based on your participation of what our next poll should be, here are the highlights:
15 nation participated in this poll, resuming to the participation levels of the polls before this last one
It would seem the region really enjoys naming things as 40% of votes were for the next poll to be about if our region united into an EU like region with a unified currency, what should be the currency be called.
A poll to determine the hosting nation for CGHIS2020 RP (Cape of Good Hope International Summit 2020) did initially lag behind in second place all the way until to the last day of the poll when it got 1 more vote to tie with the just mentioned topic at 6 votes (40%)
If some of you may have recalled, Azulakas did propose a poll for what time period would you prefer RPs to take place? , and 20% of voters did want to see that poll come to pass.
No one wanted to have a 3rd round of the nation/people of the region shorthand as the next poll. So we'll save it until there's interest from more Hoplites
It sounds like no one wanted more polls about polls and how polls can be better polls so I'm guessing also no more polls about what poll topic should be the next poll because that's just too much poll on poll action....... polls.
Thanks again for this poll topic and everyone who participated! If you have a poll idea please post it on here at the RMB or telegram me as it's almost assured to be made into an official poll.
--- This poll actually establishes what our next 3 polls are going to be (assuming we don't change it), happening based on best-performing topics on this poll:
Next Poll (late June) - if our region united into an EU like region with a unified currency, what should be the currency be called (as it was the winner most of the poll term) Poll After (early July) - poll to determine the hosting nation for CGHIS2020 RP (Cape of Good Hope International Summit 2020). Monsone , can you remind me of the candidates? Or if you wish to lobby for more candidates? Mid-July Poll - what time period would you prefer RPs to take place? ---

19 nation participated in this poll, 46% increase in participation from the last poll topic AND 3 more participants than the initial round of this poll topic. Great job guys!
In a surprise result, initially 3rd placed Hoplites from the first poll emerged as a winner with 37% (7/19) of the votes! Dethroning initial winner Capers! Hoplites was the top choice for newer nations
Capers , the winner of the first round received 5 votes (26%) of votes put it in 3rd place, behind...
Good Hopers which was only 1 vote behind the top spot with 6 votes (32%). This will be the second time Good Capers placed 2nd. Good Capers was the top choice among nations with 5 billion+ citizens and very high influence
Solid choice CGH-ers which was tied 3rd place in the previous round slides to 4th place this round with 5% of the votes

13 nation participated in this poll, a bit lower in participation this time
62% (8/13) were interested in hosting an international summit. Perhaps also not surprisingly, the overwhelming choice of WA member nations. I recommend any nation to announce one as the next RP, I think that could be interesting
23% (3/13) were interested in participating in some kind of civil war, either as part of other nations or their own. Perhaps in support, or opposition to rebels.
Surprisingly, international warfare and disease each only got 1 vote. Perhaps because we recently had a disease RP and has done war in the past

19 nations participated in this poll, 1 higher than the last poll. Only 3/19 (16%) participating nations were established veterans of the region, all others were relatively new. The all-time record of participants for a poll in recent history was 37 nations
The majority of nations (53%) wanted to contribute to / see more RP. Since that's the case, I would encourage any and all nations to take the opportunity to start new RPs in the RMB. Such as Roxium had recently. Don't be shy
Many nations also wanted to see and participate in more humour, banter and jokes in the RMB. As a matter of fact, it was the second most voted for response at 42% of votes. So here's your dad joke of the day: Why don’t scientists trust atoms? ...........................because they make up everything!
There was one nation who wanted to see more national or regional dispatches, which I thought was interesting
This surprised me but there was no one who was interested in discussing gameplay or IRL stuff on here. And no suggestions for other things people wanted to see more of

18 nations participated in this poll which is fairly good. 14/18 (78%) participating nations were relatively new. The all-time record (from polls when I started polls) so far was the last poll at 37 nations
At 7 votes each, there is an equal amount of nations that believe we should be rid of x as there were who thought x should be given a fair shot. Those 2 responses were the most popular, representing 78% of votes
WA member nations were most likely to select giving x a shot, but not by a large margin
3 nations were DMX fans and/or wants X to give it to them, but.... somehow aren't DMX fans
1 nation wanted to be rid of another letter than x, but did not specify on the RMB what letter that would be for them

1) There was a record turnout for this latest poll, with 37 participating nations! 31 of which (84%) were relatively new nations of the Cape of Good Hope 2) The answer with the most votes (49%) was approx. 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. A popular internet source does estimate that there could be approx 2 x 10^23 stars in the universe... so good job voters of this answer. For reference, there is an approx. one hundred billion stars in the milky way, our own galaxy amount billions in the universe 3 ) The second most voted for answer (27%) was that that there are as many stars as there are dreams in the astroplane, which was a surprise to me cuz, I was probably high when I came up with that option. So way to go fellow LSD using nations 4) 5 nations thought they were the only star but let's face it, there can't be 5 stars, there can be only one. So these 5 nations must settle this....highlander style to earn the damn love they so damn think they damn deserve 5) 3 nations hated the available answer options and 2 provided their reasons on the RMB and are below.
