New Flag Alert! And A Message From The Ministry Of Culture: Horrorlandian State Wishes All Of The Mothers Of The World A Very Happy, Healthy, Safe, And Festive Mother's Day, 2024! We hope you enjoy this day in the comfort of your homes and the warmth of your families! Thank you for all that you do to make us feel loved, wanted, and appreciated. Thank you for the time you spend on ensuring that everything goes accordingly and that everyone is heard and respected. To celebrate this important day, we have changed our flag. We are also sending beautiful self-care packages to all of the nations on NationStates to give to all of the mothers of the world to enjoy! Facts About Mother's Day: 1. Mother's Day isn't always on the same date each year. The holiday is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of the month of May. This year it will be on May 12th. 2. More calls are made on Mother's Day than any other day of the year. Reportedly there are approximately 122 million calls are made on the second Sunday of May every year. 3. Mother's Day is the third highest selling holiday for flowers and plants. Valentine's Day might get the roses, but after Christmas and Hanukkah, more people buy flowers and plants for their moms on Mother's Day than any other holiday. Indeed, approximately one quarter of all the flowers purchased throughout the year are bought for Mother's Day. 4. One of the earliest Mother's Day celebrations was in Ancient Greece. The Greeks would have spring celebrations in honor of Rhea, the goddess of fertility, motherhood, and generation. 5. Normally, Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants. According to a survey by the National Restaurant Association, as much as 48% of people make plans to go to a restaurant for Mother's Day. 6. The moniker 'Mom' comes from babies. The first thing most babies can vocalize is the 'ma' sound, which is why in almost every language the word for mother begins with the letter 'M' or is some iteration of the 'ma' sound. 7. The history of American Mother's Day starts with peacemaker Ann Jarvis. During and following the Civil War, Ann Jarvis made a concerted effort to foster friendship and community between the mothers on both sides of the war. She started a committee in 1868 which established the first glimmer of today's holiday: "Mother's Friendship Day." 8. Ann's daughter Anna continued her legacy by creating the official holiday. Anna Reeves Jarvis sought to honor her own mother by establishing an intimate day of observance that is very obviously the basis of today's holiday. The very first Mother's Day was celebrated in 1908. 9. Woodrow Wilson signed Mother's Day into law in 1914. After Anna Jarvis created the Mother's Day International Association in order to streamline the intimate day of observance to the second Sunday in May, Woodrow Wilson legitimized the celebration as a nationwide holiday. 10. Carnations have a special meaning on Mother's Day. Anna Reeves Jarvis used the carnation on Mother's Day to symbolize whether your mother was living. A red carnation meant she was, and a white meant she had passed. 11. Anna Jarvis would later try to stop what Mother's Day became. The holiday quickly became a commercialized opportunity for producers to sell flowers, candies, and cards. Anna Reeves Jarvis felt this was detracting from the personal and intimate aspects of the holiday and defied this by starting boycotts, walkouts, and even condemned first lady Eleanor Roosevelt for using the day as a means of fundraising. Jarvis would eventually use all her money in this fight, and died at the age of 84 in a sanatorium. 12. In 2023, over $35 Billion was spent on Mother's Day. On average, shoppers planned to spend $274 on gifts for their mothers according to the National Retail Federation. 13. The most popular gift for Mother's Day is the greeting card. Every Mother's Day there are approximately 152 million Mother's Day cards sent. 14. Mother's Day is celebrated all over the world. While the celebrations may be held on different days internationally, Great Britain, Canada, Costa Rica, Samoa, Georgia, Australia, and Thailand all have designated celebrations to honor their country's mothers. 15. 41% of Americans plan to buy their mom jewelry. However, flowers still remain the most popular gift option, with about 72% of Americans opting for a floral present. Why not get mom both? 16. Some countries still observe ancient festivals honoring mothers. In India, people celebrate Durga-puja, a festival that pays homage to the mother goddess, Durga. The festival is a ten-day event that takes place around September or October. 17. Many women are waiting before they become mothers. According to a 2022 report, the average age for a first-time mother in the United States hit 30 for the first time. 18. Beauty salons and spas also get a Mother's Day boost. According to the National Retail Federation, on Mother's Day, people will spend $2 billion on personal services (like spa treatments) for their mothers. 19.

The Animal Similehomini, often colloquially referred to as "Furrikin," are a unique and intriguing species native to the diverse ecosystem of Ropanama. These semi-intelligent creatures blend animalistic traits with a cognitive capacity akin to that of crows, resulting in a fascinating and complex existence that has captivated both researchers and the public alike. Evolutionary Origins of the Animal Similehomini The evolutionary journey of the Animal Similehomini is a fascinating tapestry that intertwines with the complex history of Ropanama's diverse ecosystems. To unravel their origins, scientists have delved into a wealth of paleontological and genetic evidence, painting a vivid picture of how these remarkable creatures emerged from the depths of prehistory. Predecessors in the Fossil Record The story begins with the discovery of ancient fossil remains, hinting at the gradual emergence of a lineage that would eventually give rise to the Animal Similehomini. Fossils dating back millions of years exhibit a mosaic of features, bridging the gap between humans and the animal kingdom. These ancestral creatures showcased a mix of animalistic traits and early signs of cognitive development, suggesting the first steps toward the unique blend seen in their descendants today. Convergent Evolution and Adaptation As Ropanama's ecosystems evolved over time, distinct niches emerged that would play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the Animal Similehomini lineage. Through a phenomenon known as convergent evolution, various species within this lineage developed traits that closely resembled those of the animals occupying these niches. This evolutionary strategy allowed them to exploit specific environments, resulting in a diverse array of forms that incorporated elements of mammals, birds, reptiles, and more. Emergence of Cognition The cognitive abilities observed in the Animal Similehomini can be traced back to the development of their brain structures over millennia. Comparative studies of fossilized brain cases and neural pathways suggest a gradual increase in neural complexity, paving the way for enhanced problem-solving, memory retention, and social interaction. This cognitive growth likely played a critical role in the survival and adaptation of these creatures, as they navigated the challenges of their changing environments. Genetic Insights and Ancestral Links Genetic analyses have further illuminated the evolutionary history of the Animal Similehomini. By studying their DNA and comparing it to that of other species, researchers have identified genetic markers indicative of shared ancestry. The identification of genetic sequences associated with both animalistic traits and cognitive development underscores the intricate interplay between genetics and environmental pressures that sculpted the lineage over time. However, the coexistence of humans and the Animal Similehomini also presents challenges. Conflicts over resources, territory, and misunderstandings due to differing communication methods have been reported. Additionally, as with any semi-intelligent species, ethical considerations regarding their rights and treatment have sparked ongoing debates within both academic and public spheres. With intelligence akin to that of crows, the Animal Similehomini exhibit advanced cognitive capabilities not typically observed in the animal kingdom. This level of intelligence facilitates problem-solving, rudimentary tool use, and intricate social interactions. Such cognitive prowess allows them to adapt to dynamic environments, locate food sources, and navigate complex social hierarchies. Yet, despite their cognitive abilities, the Animal Similehomini remain deeply connected to their animalistic behaviors. This unique blend of intelligence and instinct creates a dynamic that has given rise to intricate cultural practices and social structures. Vocalizations, body language, and basic tool use constitute their primary communication methods, fostering a society in which advanced cognition is interwoven with primal instincts. Cultural Significance and Interaction with Humans The presence of the Animal Similehomini has left an indelible mark on Ropanaman culture and society. Revered for their unique abilities, these creatures have inspired tales, artworks, and even spiritual beliefs among the Ropanaman population.

WARNING! ANY LEAKAGE OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FROM THE A.C.C LOGS WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT TERMINATION. SHARE INFORMATION ONLY VIABLE TO YOUR CLASSES.  The Anomaly Catching Company, often referred to as the A.C.C, is a highly specialized organization operating within the borders of Ropanama. The A.C.C's primary mission is the detection, capture, and containment of anomalies—unexplained phenomena, entities, or artifacts that possess unique and often dangerous characteristics. Established under the Ropanaman Ministry of Safety, the A.C.C is a clandestine group with a well-documented history of anomaly management.Origins and Establishment The A.C.C traces its origins to the early 20th century when Ropanama began encountering an increasing number of enigmatic and potentially hazardous anomalies. These anomalies defied conventional scientific explanation and posed a growing threat to public safety. In response to these challenges, the Ropanaman government formed a specialized task force, which would later become the A.C.C, in 1934. Key Objectives and Operations Detection and Monitoring: The A.C.C is responsible for the monitoring of various phenomena and anomalies. It employs a vast network of surveillance equipment, data analysts, and field operatives to track unusual events and entities. This extensive network helps to ensure timely identification and response to potential anomalies. Capture and Containment: When an anomaly is detected, the A.C.C dispatches highly trained teams to capture and contain the entity or phenomenon. These operations can range from relatively straightforward to highly complex, depending on the nature of the anomaly. Specialized containment facilities exist throughout Ropanama for this purpose. Research and Analysis: The A.C.C conducts in-depth research and analysis on contained anomalies. This scientific exploration aims to understand the origins, properties, and potential applications of the anomalies. Findings are shared with other government departments and, in some cases, with international scientific organizations. Public Safety and Anomaly Response: A critical component of the A.C.C's mission is ensuring public safety. In the event of an anomaly posing an immediate threat, rapid response teams are dispatched to mitigate the situation and safeguard citizens. Secrecy and Discretion The A.C.C's existence is acknowledged but not discussed openly, and the public largely remains unaware of the full extent of its responsibilities and accomplishments. It functions independently but coordinates closely with other government departments and security agencies to fulfill its mission. The Anomaly Catching Company is an integral part of Ropanama's commitment to safeguarding its citizens from the mysteries and challenges presented by unexplained phenomena. Its quiet, determined efforts continue to contribute to the nation's safety and security, making it a vital but often overlooked element of Ropanama's societal fabric. |
