Simply put, NS Cards is an activity that doesn't really connect to the nation-building aspect of NS, but is done by some nations for fun. You can find more information about it here.

Greetings everyone!

There is a new resolution at vote in the Security Council:

Resolution at Vote: Commend Libertanny
Vote Recommendation: Against
Forum voting thread: https://forums.europeians.com/index.php?threads/sc-commend-libertanny.10057692/

You can look at the forum thread for more information about the resolution.

If you are a citizen, make sure to also vote in the forum thread. The forum tally determines the delegate's vote, so this is your chance to determine how Europeia's votes are used!



Information for World Assembly Voters
Please find below another volume of the Information For World Assembly Voters program.

Resolution At-Vote: Commend Libertanny

Our Vote recommendation: AGAINST

While the Resolution is somewhat well written and the nominee is worthy of a commendation, having done a lot of work in TEP and having hosted and helped host many interregional events, the points given in the Resolution are unsatisfactory, and the author ignored the feedback they were given regarding the Resolution. The Resolution has potential for a redraft, where a more well-rounded, and overall better Resolution could be proposed to the one we have for consideration now. For the reasons stated, the Ministry recommends a vote AGAINST this Resolution.

This IFV Recommendation was written by Baobab-bumbaria.

All of us in the Ministry of World Assembly are proud of the work we accomplish in the Ministry. If you are interested in joining the effort, if you are interested in getting more involved in the World Assembly, possibly as an author or one of our staff putting together information for voters like yourself, then join the Ministry! We want both people who are eager to learn and people who already know their way around the World Assembly and can help us do our job even better. Joining the Ministry of World Assembly is a great way to get more involved in Europeia.

If you're interested in getting involved, please contact the Minister of World Assembly Affairs, either by personal message on the forums (username: Greater Cesnica) or by telegram (nation: Milorum).

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

The Delegate casts the regional vote after consulting the results of the forum voting thread linked above. All citizens in Europeia can vote and discuss there, so make sure to do so!

As usual, please consider endorsing Delegate Primorye Oblast, if you have not already done so. The more endorsements, the more votes Europeia has, and the stronger our voice in the World Assembly is!

If you are no longer interested in receiving these telegrams, please edit your Telegram Preferences, and adjust the frequency with which you receive 'WA Campaign' telegrams accordingly.


If you have questions about any of the above, please contact Minister of World Assembly Affairs Milorum.

DECLARATIONS - THE NEW KID ON THE WORLD ASSEMBLY BLOCK
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact Information (Discord): Darc#0013

(Europeia, 10/21/2021) - A few months ago, a brand new category was created for the Security Council: Declarations. What might these newfangled resolutions do? Absolutely nothing. Yep, that's right, Declarations don't mechanically do anything. They are meant for the Security Council to declare anything - from statements on the nuclear apocalypse to hippopotamuses.

For this article, the EBC interviewed Minister of World Assembly Affairs Greater Cesnica, World Assembly Delegate Prim, and Security Council author Giovanniland.

On June 24th, NationStates Game Moderator Sedgistan announced the creation of Declarations. On July 8th, the addition went live. Before Declarations were even officially available as a proposal, the Security Council forum was flooded with many Declaration drafts. The first one passed was "Advancement Of Anti-Fascist Action." A few of them spurred a good deal of debate in Europeia, with conflicting viewpoints common on proposed Declarations. Evidently, there was much to be discussed about this new category - what would we see, and what would we support?

The latter was answered well by Europeia's [URL='https://forums.europeians.com/index.php?threads/the-guiding-ideological-principles-of-europeias-world-assembly-mission.10057248/']World Assembly Guiding Ideological Tenets[/URL], published a few months after the update. To answer the former, the passed Declarations are listed below in chronological order:

What can be seen here is 1 Declaration on Fascism, 3 about other gameplay mechanics (General Assembly and N-Day), and 1 joke Declaration. It's a limited data pool, but it would make sense to assume that most Declarations would focus on Gameplay, in line with how the Security Council tends to operate. Greater Cesnica agrees with this, and said in his interview; "I think that Declarations will most likely be used to make statements that reflect specific trends and shifts in the Gameplay scene." Prim instead draws some conclusions from "Declaration on Hippopotamuses", stating that he believes "declarations will probably be increasingly used by social players for more joke resolutions and tongue-in-cheek commentary on current events." Our final interviewee, Giovanniland, expects more variety. "We've seen declarations pass about gameplay, the WA, and minigames (N-Day) already, with a cards-themed one also attempted but defeated at vote: it all depends on how well a certain community is represented in the SC."

But what do our interviewees think Declarations should be used for? Prim prefers a more serious approach, saying "I think Declarations would be best used for establishing broad-based "values and goals" for the WA that don't necessarily have policy or regulative aspects to them, like in the GA," but still accepts the need for "non-serious or non-gameplay declarations." Recognizing other aspects of NationStates may also be a good way to use Declarations. This is what Giovanniland thinks. "Just like the other resolution categories of the SC, I'm in favor of recognizing all communities that NS may have. So, whether it is gameplay, roleplay, issues, cards, other minigames, the WA itself, and any others." Europeia should also be concerned about her stake in Declarations. After all, they are very serious agenda promoters! This is the belief of Greater Cesnica, who says that they "would like to see Declarations being used to highlight interregional events and activities, as well as more specifically to advance the regional interests of Europeia and her Allies."

Naturally, there was some pushback against the addition of Declarations, mainly due to their nonbinding, effectless nature. Still, they were added, and the opposition was not too vocal. The question, however, remains. Were Declarations a good addition? "I believe they were," says Greater Cesnica. "This is because I feel that the Security Council was sorely lacking a means to issue non-binding statements, which definitely conflicted with the vocal nature of the Security Council and the regions/players that are most prevalent within it. Declarations ultimately provide a means to reflect the current tides and trends within the Gameplay scene, which is a positive in my eyes." Prim echoes these statements: "I think with some of the gameplay aspects of NS slowing down and R/D getting a bit dull, the normal SC options (Liberations, Commends, Condemns) were probably getting a little strained for new ideas... It allowed... for more flexibility in Gameplay statements apart from just a regular commend or condemn." Rounding out the responses, Giovanniland also agrees with the addition. "Yes. I believe it is nice to have a codified resolution type to express an opinion on something that can't be legislated on by the GA (due to metagaming rules)."

Declarations, while months old, are still relatively new to the Security Council. With the 9 overall Declarations that have made it to vote, and 5 that have passed and made their way to the record books, they already have left a permanent imprint on NationStates. Where they may go isn't a question with a surefire answer, but one thing's for certain - Declarations are here to stay, and here to make an impact.

What do you think? I'm not sure if this is crazy, but the basic aim for my empire is to ONLY FOCUS on economy, not citizens or the enviorment. Great idea, huh?

Also, how do I enlarge my population? Does it rise over time?

Hello! Your motto should fit however you see fit. NationStates lets you do whatever you want. And good lad Sincluda there summed up the population system well. Enjoy Europeia
