Perhaps if there is a tie, then the vote of Verdant Haven himself would be given somewhat more weight, as the maker of the would-be replacement flag.
Also, in the spirit of the past two votes and also hearkening back to the Forest Keeper Elections, everybody eyeballing the voting totals should remember that what appears to be a tie may not actually be a tie, and that Terrabod will be cross-referencing every name with the eligible voters from back in April. So nobody should jump to conclusions simply because there appears to be a tie, if it comes to that. Similarly, what appears to be a very close verdict may end up being a tie after all.
We would either cast the ritual of decision, sacrificing 1000 goats on a burning altar to appease the dark lord and thus gain his wisdom.
Or Terrabod can flip a coin.
Probably go for the coin, much less effort.
.... in all honesty though a tie would in my books mean keeping the status quo. Not only because of the factor of Verdant Havens vote but also because a shift ought to have majority support.
I've been interested in dabbling into issue writing for some time. I recently have an interesting idea, but I'm having a real hard time making sure it's not a duplicate. Is there any insider method or something that makes this easier? If I decide to go for it, is there a place in the offsite forum where I can draft this and ask for feedback before facing the people at Got Issues?
If you post an issue idea in The Writers' Block the pros will let you know if it overlaps too much with an existing issue, and if it doesn't they'll often also guide you in the right direction re which options you need, whether your premise is good etc if you ask for help. You can also check the list of existing issues for overlap - using the search bar is a good idea, so if you want to write an issue about, say, television licenses you can search for that phrase and similar phrases there to see if anything exists on the topic already.
As for offsite help, I don't think any (active) such place exists. The people on Got Issues are generally friendly, though, but sometimes the advice of some members is more helpful than others, so keep that in mind. The issue editors themselves frequently drop by to give a lot of help to writers which is a really nice resource (issue writing is much more of a team effort compared to proposal writing, at least from an outsider's view of the GA forum!).
EDIT: I'm sure there's nothing stopping you if you wanted to post it on the offsite forum first - I'd be happy to take a look and I'm sure others would be too. Forest is full of issue writers!
My teachers always says that, we Filipinos are actually exposed to these because you know, we are probably turn into by waterworld by 200 years.
I think only rich boi countries believes at that.
1. Main Island, Ackbegohl, and Cichlid Island Group. I have Provinces Factbook tho so try to see it.
2. Only Cichlid Island. Cichlid Island is a very small island located around 3500 kilometers away from Main Island. It contains multiple lakes to fish for cichlids and lots of pet stores that sells fish and fish eggs to hatch, our architecture is based on Malagasy houses and successfully blended with modern architecture (especially British one).
3. There's too much ethnic groups in Myordas so I will grossly oversimplify it:
Native Cultures and Creoles: Cichlid Islanders: Lazy, hates schools, likes only agriculture, likes to be poor rather to be rich. Ackbegohlians: Nationalistic, overprotective to women, likes the military Main Islander (South): Likes water and canals, traditionalist, loves strict rules Main Islander (North): Peaceful, loves fishes, traders, loves foreigners. Creoles: Very social, friendly and excels in schools
(Some of) Immigrant cultures of Myordas: Filipinos: Just like Northern Main Islanders but kinda makes funny jokes, contented, wants to get money Armenians: Controls most of the industry, rich bois, literally every Myordan wants to date and marry them due to extreme beauty Scandinavians (Norwegians, Swedes, Icelandics, Danish): Peaceful ones, helpers of aquarium fish industry. British: Former colonizers who helped us, mostly works as guards and food industry.
My favorites have always been the Star Wars movies. Out of the Star Wars movies, my favorites are 1, 6, and (don’t lambast me) 9.
I’d recommend any of the MCU movies too. If you’re looking for shoes to binge, “WandaVision” and “the Falcon and the Winter Soldier” were amazing.
Other shows I’ve binged over quarantine: “Fauda”, “Tehran”, “Manifest”, “Tandav”, “The Morning Show”, “Community”, “The Good Place”, “The Amazing Race”, and “the Man in the High Castle”
I don’t think that they need to be less drastic in their environmental policies, just in their economic.
I’m a social Democrat, meaning I believe in a form of soft capitalism with some moderately socialist policies. We can’t escape capitalism, but we can make it more fair and equitable. I support a strong welfare state, Universal Healthcare, public colleges, possibly a UBI, Bernie’s Wealth Tax, high taxes on the rich, social programs for the populace, all of that.
I just think that they are too far left economically, that they scare off voters like me (I mean I’m too young to vote but still). Socialism can’t work in a globalized, industrialized, modern country without returning back to the heavily decentralized, autarkic, pre-modern ways. The only form of socialism that can really work is Anarcho-Socialism, and that can really only work in places like Rojava and Chiapas where decentralization and collectivism have been the norm for millennia.
I also disagree with populism, on any side of the political spectrum 4-D political compass. Populism antagonizes anyone who is Bourgeois or higher, including much of the Middle Class. We need to all work together, all classes, to establish a fair and equitable society, and while I understand antagonizing the likes of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and Bill Gates, we shouldn’t be antagonizing the everyday people who still deal with normal-people problems and who still have to work hard to make a living, regardless of whether they make 4-figures or 6-figures.
Environmentally, I totally agree with the US Greens. I just wish that economically they were more SocDem than DemSoc.
[sets up stand with a soap box and a bull horn] "Come one, come all! See the amazing Cliff Jumpers battle the treacherous Gravity-ton, Tides-slammer, and the Sharp Rock Twins! Watch for only $10! Act now for our special deal: buy 2 tickets and get 2 for the same price!"
I understand your viewpoint entirely. It sounds like you are in the USA, so you will have to take what I say with a different cultural context in mind. I could have written something very similar to what you have just written about 1 year ago. I was convinced social democracy (socialism in a UK context) would be enough, but what I came to understand through reading is that it is not enough. This would have been hard to hear for me 1 year ago. I was sure that as long as we could elect a sane government which looks after its people and makes environment a priority then I thought vaguely things would work out. I don't want you to feel attacked, but just to consider that whether it is a conservative or social democrat government model of government, they are both committed to the same unsustainable growth model of economics.
They operate a wasteful model that is predicated on an infinite supply of resources. This leads to a weird kind of cognitive dissonance where they claim we can save the environment, and keep on living and producing like we always have. The truth is we can't. Without radical change to our way of producing and consuming, then our habitable environment won't survive. I found this difficult to swallow because I was quite tribal in my support for the Labour Party and my beliefs about what good government and society looked like. I don't think Greens advocate moving to anything like a state planned economy, rather I think they tend to be in favour of independent and small and local business using local ingredients. We just have to start re-thinking our use of the resources of the planet that we have left, think how we preserve them, and give up notions of infinite growth. I hope this is a fair representation of the left wing of Green economics - that the economy is linked entirely with our habitable environment.
Ah ha! This is one I am well-prepared to answer :-D Well, at least the first two parts.
Verdant Haven covers a land area of 832092.77 square kilometers, and is a federation consisting of twelve constituent Bailiwicks. These bailiwicks are sub-divided into a total of 393 Shires and shire-level equivalents (independent cities, districts, etc), with significant devolution of authorities to the Bailiwicks from the federal government. The Bailiwicks are listed below in alphabetical order, with their shires and the seats (primary cities) of each listed in spoilers for each entry.

Stereotypes are a bit tough to pin down, much like ethnicities from the previous Lore Question of the Week. There are cultural influences on naming that remain readily apparent in different parts of the country, and some historic stereotyping may occur, though it is more of the tongue-in-cheek variety than anything people would really believe to be true. Those might include things like folks from Wesgard being tough and quiet, those from Longmouth being bookish, folks from Ridwood being carefree or reckless, things of that nature. It would be hard to identify any of them as particularly accurate however.
I should clarify: I'm Portuguese, ambassador from Portugal really i found your opinion very interesting
I mostly find them a conspiracy theory party I think one would find ecologist candidates much more in the democratic party, despite the bad reputation the dems usually have amongst the left in the US, or even in europe as, lets be honest, we like to talk trash about the americans at every oportunity
but, if you'd want a more serious opinion, I would say green politics can be very vague and the american green party is mostly an eco-socialist party as someone else has already said, which i guess you could call communist but I would differentiate
communism, eco-socialism and anti-capitalism are 3 sometimes overlapping ideologies that in europe usually have their seperate parties or exist all in a bigger leftist party here in portugal we have a coalition between the communists and the *green* party (it's frequent to hear people, including me, calling them watermelons, as they are green on the outside and red on the inside), but our Left Bloc (Bloco de Esquerda) is what I would call more of an anti-capitalist party or a left-populist party if you want: simmilar to syriza, Chavez, podemos, La france insoumisse, more than to proper communist parties, at least in ideological terms, as today they like to brand themselves as social democrats because they must have learnt that the majority of voters dont like trotskyism or demagoguery
Wow, some people on here are extremely dedicated aren't they? It's not a bad thing or anything, but wow, thats some real dedication and resilience showing there.
First, I would like to note that it makes me very sad that I don't have the RL time to help with the map problem this time around. :(
1) Calenmor consists of nine largely independent realms plus the mostly autonomous plateau that the capital city of Draugost sits on and a mile wide band around it, the whole of which is called Laracas. The nine realms are Dolhir, Glamnoss, Gwathir, Minarod, Mithiphant, Ridhor, Riwedrain, Talathadan, and Tubain.
2) There is, of course, the capital city of Draugost which, as stated above, is mostly autonomous. The largest and most imporant cities of the nine realms, likewise, tend to be their capitals. These are:
Dolhir - Uimin City Glamnoss - Tolodhaegas City Gwathir - Caranhen City Minarod - Iaurothrond City Mithiphant - Hobascu City Ridhor - Angath City Riwedrain - Thirost City Talathadan - Tordor City Tubain - Dorachas City
3) The inhabitants of Laracas/Draugost (Laraci, or sometimes the slang term "Draugi" is used) are seen as well intentioned but myopic. The Dolhiri are seen as gloomy, superstitious, and fatalistic but trustworthy. Glamni are seen as pleasant but provincial and out of touch. The Gwathiri are seen as intelligent but greedy and untrustworthy. The Minari are seen as inbred and a bit "crazy" but well intentioned. Mithiphi are see as stylish but arrogant and haughty. Ridhori are seen as "old fashioned" and stubborn but reliable. The Riwedri are seen as "nice" but common and pedestrian. The Talathadi are seen as paranoid and secretive but insightful. Finally, Tubaini are seen as resourceful but violent and dangerous.
Plus I missed these previously so...
1) The idea of political parties has never really taken hold, despite a few notable attempts by partisans over the course of history, as the electoral system has never really lent itself well to their adoption. In the sense that they do exist, it is mostly as social political philosophy clubs who's members tend to vote similarly and, on a rare occasion, will publicly endorse a given candidate, but none have ever successfully run a candidate on behalf of one of these clubs rather than independently. As for the next election, you know as much as I do at this point!
2) The primary ethnic group is Calenmori, which are unique to Calenmor. Recent genetic testing seems to show that they originated as a composite group in the area arising from the intermixing of at least three or four (and possibly more) highly distinct phenotypes at some prehistoric point. The rest of the population consists of roughly 6% Balkan, 5% other Forestian phenotypes, 3% Greek, 2% Turkish, 1% Romani, and 3% are AI's and a mix of other ethnic backgrounds from around the world.
3) Lisnenurin is a sort of hot "tea" that is primarily heated honey-water made with full honeycomb rather than just the honey; occasionally, mint or some other herb may be sprinkled on top. Lassochaes is a type of Moussaka, eaten hot or cold, that has a filling featuring red meat. Dodiaf, literally translated as "Berry Fruit", is a popular type of fruit salad who's specific ingredients can vary but which typically features peaches, blackberries or raspberries and, interestingly, often either Carncaliaf (a local type of melon similar to watermelon) and/or grapes as well as sliced pecans. Glimor is a type of dark bittersweet drink, typically served hot, that is made by brewing coffee or espresso beans separately from cacao beans and then blending them by means of two spouts aimed at a small sifting cup with occasionally replenished crystalized honey which then drains into a small cup for drinking.
How dare you say something so wrong yet forbid us from lambasting you for it.
This cannot stand!
1) Chan Island doesn't really have administrative provinces on account of it not being run like a normal government.
2) There are 2 major cities on the island- Channing Townton and Access Denied. The latter used to be the capital back when the island was ruled by a dystopian, irrationally oppressive regime, while these days Channing Townton is more associated with overall political power since the collapse of the dictatorship.
3) As there are no real provinces, there are no real different stereotypes from one part of the country to the other.
Ola!
Portugal's a real exception to the overall pasokification trend I discussed, as it has generally been the left which has risen to capture the public imagination there rather than the right. It's already been really curious to watch how Portugal (and its big brother Spain) interact with the rest of the EU.
I envy to ever have such a detailed response someday... I used to have but then you posted something that made me realize none of the divisions made sense so Im back to square one.
Wow, you speak more portuguese than any spanish that lives here for 5 years already XD
You see, our centre-left party has a leader that is fantastic at shifting blame and those sort of things (our politicians are really wonderful and not at all incompetent ranging from the left to the right) PS, the "socialist" party has benefited greatly from his leadership and the anger towards austerity in the right-wing government and, as no major oposition party seems to show a good alternative to the PS government, i kinda understand why our people continue to vote for them, as it cannot be for their wonderful job, but I would bet that to many voter they simply are the best around today because the rest is so meh I could answer in a much more detailed way, but i usually don't like to influence other people's conceptions of my country's politics, i'm not trying to preach my version of reality or anything
in regards to the EU, our relationship is simple: we want money, give us money it really is that simple - we got in because it was economically good for us and in regards to the Euro we thought it would be as well, but the adjustment to a single currency hasn't really been well made (though I still think the Euro could have succeded and was a good idea)
oh well, what you gonna do
and we are not *that* alike to Spain in terms of our politics: their right wing and far right are much more pronounced our main centre-right party would be a ciudadanos and our junior right wing party would be a PP (our "conservative party" is currently dying much like ciudadanos)
there are many cultural and political differences that are a bit difficult to explain in normal size posts, but I think I could start involving myself more in your region's discussions as well, with my particular experience, as I doubt you have any other portuguese players here
I'm sorry to hear that! I would never want to scare somebody off of work that they have done. It may well be possible to develop history/in-world reasons to explain even the most unnatural seeming of divisions. Heck, I grew up in a city with dramatic hills and cliff-faces, and back in the 19th century when the city planners were presented with a gorgeously-conceived street layout conceived by a famous city engineer, that took into account the unique terrain and geography, they responded with "Nah, needs a grid" and that's what we got - a city where some streets rise more than 100m in six blocks.
At any rate, I'm always happy to chat world-building if you decide you want to either figure out a justification for things, or want to re-work them.
I don't believe that you can separate environmental and economic policy - they're fundamentally connected.
In our current systems, we applaud entrepreneurs and "wealth creators." If you can make Widgets and get people to buy them, and create a bunch of jobs at your Widget factory, then you become an entrepreneur and wealth creator and our governments will devote considerable resources to supporting you. This doesn't ask what the environmental impact of Widgets is, or whether or not anybody actually needs Widgets. Making, providing and consuming of any kind all boost GDP and as such have become an end in themselves. If total economic activity falls back for 2 quarters in a row then it's officially a recession, and that's a massive black mark of failure against the presiding government, one that it's desperate to avoid.
Our whole system drives consumption for its own sake and needs it to be constantly accelerating. Bolting on a strong welfare system, universal healthcare, progressive taxation and the rest of it don't change the fact that this behaviour has been destroying the planet since the Industrial Revolution. It's not enough to then turn to "environmental policy" as an isolated issue and sign up to the Paris Agreement that commits you to reducing your footprint when the consequence of actually reducing that footprint would be "recession" that would get you discredited and hounded out of office.
Businesses act solely to maximise profit, and are encouraged to do so. There are some government restrictions on their behaviour. but we can't ignore the fact that these same businesses are the major donors to political parties and that the individuals in government who make key decisions are not only bound to pursue economic growth but also expect to move on to lucrative directorships with those same businesses. A business might try to clean up its act environmentally if it thinks this will enhance its "brand" and therefore increase sales and improve the bottom line. Or it might shift into selling you organic, biodegradable, fair trade Widgets to increase its share of the Widget market. It's still churning out Widgets you don't need just because it can. Fundamentally, our system is OK with businesses doing whatever they can to increase the profit margin, so if there's a way of doing things that reduces impact but makes the process less efficient, the onus falls on government to nudge businesses into adopting it with sweeteners and subsidies that remove the difference and transfer the cost from the business to someone else. And above all, there is zero incentive to simply not make pointless things nobody needs.
Can we escape capitalism? Whatever you'd call the end result, we desperately need to question this crazy system that's antithetical to environmental protection. It's not enough to think we can somehow make it play nice. And I don't believe it has to be inevitable. Capitalism isn't simply the absence of socialism or a default setting that prevails when people are left to make their own choices. It didn't arise until pretty recently in historical terms. Modern capitalism is a system where everything is rigged towards increased fuel burning, consumption. waste and pollution. Governments are active in pushing this when they don't actually have to be. Capitalism is defined as the operation of the means of production for the profit of those who own them. When that profit is made the priority then the front page of gp.org is entirely right to take the tone it does about government by and for the 1%, and the social and environmental consequences that has.
Oh no dont get me wrong, I meant it in the best possible way. If anything it led me to read about the borders on my own region, which is one of those things I never thought would be interesting but actually is.
Blue Nagia is almost entirely populated by Nagians, a winged, reptilian race. Certain species designated as "warlike" by the government may not settle in Blue Nagia, which includes humans, though there is a small non-Nagian population consisting of native species from nearby islands.
Ah, is that something that's been halted? I recently telegrammed Octopus Islands about adding my nation to the map, but haven't heard anything back.
Octopus Islands kind of just... disappeared off the face of the Earth, midway through Verdant Haven's unwanted third term in the midst of the uncertainty. They, like Errinundera, were not (and still aren't) CTEing, but I don't think anyone has heard from them in some time. As such, we have to assume that they aren't willing or able to continue in the post and that we need a new cartographer.
Yeah, it's weird that they didnt CTE sooner........ ANYWAYS: My old form= The Map Form Nation name: Kepler-85 Whether you want to be on the old world map or the new world map: Old world Size, shape, and location of your nation on the map:765 km* 305 km, A kazakhstan-like shape, Southeast of UFO Location of capital city: Southernmost panhandle of the nation Any major cities and the location of them: Two cities on the border with UFO, Five cities near the capital, some cities in the center around a big lake. Significant geographical features (volcanoes, tall mountains, shorter mountains, rivers, lakes, and where they are located): A bunch of lakes in the centre around a giant lake. Small mountain chain starting in the capital and following to the lakes, Giant mountain on the capital. A river going from the capital's mountain then going west having a delta near the UFO border. And a river going from the big lake, going trough another lake(but a smaller one), eventually ending up in the Capital's river. BTW Today it has been exactly 100 days since my arrival here
The good news keeping on coming, and I'm very excited to share it with everyone! Forest has another new Ambassador, our fourth in past two weeks! Nation of ecologists has answered the call to service, and is stepping up to assume the role of Forest's ambassador to Spiritus. Spiritus is a good friend and ally from our recent tremendous success in gamewide events - many thanks to Nation of ecologists for taking up this post, and to all our ambassadors who represent our regional interests and environmental programming to allied regions across the game!
Wondering what these roles are? Think you might be interested in following in the footsteps of our esteemed Ambassadors, and enhancing your relationship with Forest, our allies, and the game of NationStates? Prestigious appointments are still available! Check out the dispatch below for an outline of the duties involved.
Thank you for your interest in filling the role of Ambassador on behalf of Forest! As an Ambassador, you will fulfill a vital role, serving as the primary link and liaison between us and our friends in other regions. The duties of an Ambassador are assigned by the Forest Keeper and the designated Foreign Minister of Forest, and may change from time to time or in response to specific events, but the basics are fairly straightforward:
Duties of a Forest Ambassador
1) Regularly visit your embassy region's page, and keep current on any notable discussion in their RMB or forums.
2) Make sure to introduce yourself to the region on their RMB, and occasionally chime in to say hello, participate in their conversations where it's appropriate, and respond to any inquiries about Forest. If your assigned region has a foreign minister, make sure to directly contact them on your arrival to say hello and make yourself known.
3) Notify the region when Forest has an event that our allies are welcome to join, and notify Forest when the ally has an event we can join. This can often be readily accomplished by cross-posting the link to an event’s dispatch.
4) If something major goes down (positive, negative, or just especially interesting), pass along word to Forest's government so we are aware of what is going on. This might include things like elections for executive positions, major changes in laws, or dangerous events like raids.
5) Comply with the laws and rules of the embassy region where you are working! Remember that you are serving as a representative of all of Forest, so please act appropriately and in accordance with the guidelines of that region’s government. If a situation comes up where you do not feel like you can legitimately act in such a manner, please immediately notify Forest’s government for guidance and support.
6) Other minor tasks may come up, but generally speaking, an Ambassadorship is a social role focused on maintaining pleasant relationships with our friends in other regions, and ensuring easy two-way communications should the need arise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Do I have to move there? A: No, you don’t have to move there. The nation we know you as should remain a resident of Forest. Many regions permit embassy allies to post to their RMB, so you should be able to communicate effectively in that manner, if you wish to use your primary Forest account as your Ambassador persona.
Q: Can I use or move there with an alt? A: Absolutely! This is encouraged, if the embassy region permits it, as it lets you fully immerse yourself in the embassy region’s culture and communications. It is polite to verify with the region’s government that they are ok with ambassadors in residence (smaller regions in particular may like to know everybody they have present), but generally speaking regions are very welcoming to ambassadors.
Q:How much should I participate? A: Some regions are happy to have resident ambassadors participate fully as citizens, while others will draw a distinction between “full time” residents and those who represent outside interests. Generally speaking, when you first introduce yourself would be a good time to ask how much they would like you to participate. If given no guidance, I would suggest that it is appropriate to be social and join discussions, but is probably best to refrain from voting on weighty matters of government in regional polls, unless specifically invited to do so. Ambassadors are there to communicate with regional governments, not change them.
Q:What if I don’t know how to respond to a query? A: Contact the Forest Keeper and Foreign Minister! You aren’t expected to know everything, have all the answers, or make policy decisions and commitments. You’re there to help make sure questions and answers move smoothly back and forth, and to facilitate the passage of information between governments.
Does being an ambassador sound like it might be for you? Contact Uan aa Boa about open opportunities with the Forest ambassador program!
