This is only inflaming tensions and leading to a dark road. | |||
The Desk of The Western Isles Office of Information And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a weekly report from The Western Isles Office of Information that all the preceding week should be reported. . . . The Western Isles Office of Information
Every month, the office selects a dispatch posted within the month that it has deemed exceptionally unique, creative and informative and deserves the recognition it needs. The dispatch is then featured here, as part of our Dispatch of the Month program. As long as the original author of the dispatch is in this region and exists on our Regional Map, the dispatch meets our requirements for the program. Is there a dispatch you know that you feel is worthy of the award? If so, please do not hesitate to inform our Officer of Recognition - the official organizer of the program - of it. The office very much appreciates such nominations, as we are unable to keep track of every dispatch within the region. 📖 Dispatch of the Month (Month)

Do you have any future plans for your nation in terms of nation-building? Any advice for other nations making dispatches? Anything else you'd like to say? ❔ About the Dispatch of the Month The Dispatch of the Month is a program launched and run by the Office of Information. As stated before, the program involves the office featuring a dispatch it likes and feels the need to commend. The program was done in order to stimulate regional activity, encourage creativity, improve writing skills, and boost the overall nationbuilding quality. The following requirements need to be met in order for a dispatch to be eligible for nomination:
We determine the Dispatch of the Month results through a number of criteria. Each are worth 10 points, and the highest total score you can achieve is 40. The criteria are:
Athara magarat, Wellsia, and San Montagna | |||
The United Commonwealths of Alteran Republics Aye, people need to let Altera and the coalition get on with things in the north; that way we can get back to running the corporate empire country. | |||
The Elective Kingdom of Ioudaia Oh, look, Ioudaia has grown some natural resources: Ioudaia's natural resources listed in order relative to domestic needs for them. Bold print indicates large deposits or large agricultural capacity. Agricultural Products Significant Exports Slight Exports Slight Imports Significant Imports Ioudaia can, in a physical sense, feed itself, However, as Metal Ores Significant Exports Slight Exports Slight Imports Significant Imports All other minerals < 20% domestic needs. Ioudaia lacks Other Resources Fossil Fuels Coal: significant reserves, but coal is rarely used domestically as fuel any longer. Coal is mostly used by the Ioudaian steel industry, so export quantities are available. Natural gas: minor reserves mostly due to our coal fields, but we have a small amount of shale gas. Ioudaia is a major importer. Oil: significant reserves of heavy, sour crude offshore in Kolpos Aremikos. Domestic production and refining capability are maintained by the Ioudaian Navy as a strategic asset at some expense. However, because of the cost of refining and Uranium/Thorium: minor reserves as a side effect of rare earth element production. Ioudaia makes only modest use of nuclear power. Precious Stones The main gem-producing area in Ioudaia is the foothills of Sarhat Tukidas near Nilakabat. Ruby has been mined, polished, and cut since antiquity, however, the veins are nearly exhausted. Gem-quality rubies found now are on 1 carat or less, though industrial ruby is still plentiful. Sapphire is still abundant, but blue sapphire is relatively rare, and fancy sapphire is relatively common. Large gem-quality stones occasionally still turn up. Moonstone, peridot, and garnet are also found near Nilakabat. Jaspers of all kinds and sizes are commonly found around Shariyath, giving the city its name (literally, "city of jasper"). In addition, picture jasper/landscape jasper is found in a layer up to several meters thick west of the city, and is cut into large blocks for building facades and table- and counter-tops. X-ray tomography is used to select directions for cutting to maximize value, based on the patterns that will result. Dimensional Stone Marble is found in both of our major mountain ranges. Three types are available:
We have extensive deposits of sandstone in and around Sahel Tufani. It's available in several colors and textures. Nearly all of our domestic granite is grey speckled with black. It is at best plain and at worst ugly, but it's found in many places. A very small amount of pink granite is quarried, but as with our white marble, is expensive. Building Materials The raw materials for concrete and brick are common, and both are made locally. Cinder blocks are manufactured as well. As we're both importers and exporters of various sorts of natural resources, there are also sorts of preferential deals to be worked out. | |||
I never realized how close I was to the international district, hmm. Segentova, Nhoor, and Martenyika | |||
The Unified Electorates of Ainslie don't you... Segentova, Alteran Republics, Nhoor, and Brulafi | |||
Nevermind what Ainslie says. I wanna see what you do to it Ioudaia, Segentova, Dragao do mar, San Montagna, and 2 othersNhoor, and Doravo | |||
Do it. Ioudaia, Segentova, Dragao do mar, San Montagna, and 4 othersAlteran Republics, Nhoor, Brulafi, and Doravo | |||
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=474645&p=37133844#p37133844 A run down of plans for anyone who is interested in the current CCA crisis. Keep yourself informed, I guess? Yes, AM is a flawed country. It has been a united country only three times (when the Noronnican crown won the Khas-Kirat Succession War and placed their prince on our throne, during the Imperial War as Empire of Magarat and after 1995 when the modern Magarati federation was formed). It has had Khumbuwani rebels and Chathaese separatists (and others) carrying out terrorist attacks since the day it was formed in 1995. It has border disputes with all of ts neighbors and even in far-off places. The internal subdivisions (the hangates) all hate each other and the central government. Tapu Sahar (aka the only stable part of AM) and the hangates of the mainland are world apart. The only thing uniting them is the Magarati identity "which is a very broad term". Ioudaia, Dragao do mar, San Montagna, Nhoor, and 3 othersBrulafi, Havalland, and Zargyana | |||
The Elective Kingdom of Ioudaia I'd be tempted to join the fun, but I have only some threadbare sketches of my military. Nothing like actual forces ready to go. :( | |||
Athara magarat, Dragao do mar, and Nhoor | |||
The United Commonwealths of Alteran Republics Isn't Vancouvia still in the ID? | |||
The Unified Electorates of Ainslie Yes, but I have a base there too :p | |||
...forget about me Athara magarat, Dragao do mar, Alteran Republics, and Doravo | |||
The Unified Electorates of Ainslie thank you | |||
Hey, someone had to do it. | |||
Hm. We haven't had a TWIball in a while. Dragao do mar, Roendavar, and Doravo | |||
Was just thinking that | |||
Ainslie Stock Market on Feburary 1981 Causes: Affected Nations: Major Affected Banks: Bank of Gael - Gael Bank Lidara Aruia Lennester Bank Ainslie Bank of Kapolder Dormill and Stiura Alfiris-Elethaci Bank Roendavar Estimated Economical Damage: 65% drop in cumulative regional worth 35% drop of regional GDP 25.8% business in the Gael declared bankruptcy 1 in 15 citizens in Gaeltic nations was unemployed until 1986 Overview The Gael Market Crash of the 80s was a regional economic crisis that involved an extreme value drop in the stock market of the majority of Gaels nations and large economic instability that occurred from the early 1980s all the way to the late 1995s in Gael involving mainly Aruias economic influence over Gaels market, which later would be nicknamed “The Aruian Fumble” a name adopted by both Anhelsen and Aruian economist of the time.

Does anyone know of useful templates for creating a factbook? Also, I've noticed that a lot of nation's histories in this region are collaborative and/or closely intertwined. Are there any nations here that are culturally Indic and would be willing to collab with me on some shared history? | |||
The one by Ponderosa is very helpful. Even though I've been on NS for 5+ years and have tried other formats, it's still my preferred general factbook style
I would be interested. My country isn't exactly Indic, though it's an Indian Ocean country and a large percentage of the citizenry is South Asian in origin. It was also historically influenced by happenings in South Asia so a historical tie in would be very appropriate. Though I should also mention I am not yet on the map (though I plan to join soon) Segentova and Vijayarajya | |||
Athara magarat is someone who does co-history with everyone. Might be Indic too, not too certain so ask him. My and Shanzie's culture might also have some Indic aspects, been personally looking at the Mughals and Pakistan for ideas for culture. Though Persia and other Persianate societies will still be the primary inspiration. Segentova, Athara magarat, Shanzie, and Vijayarajya | |||
If this is the case, we can do a history collab too. A large number of people in my country are from Persian/Turkic countries. Also, I would humbly recommend looking at Turkish societies too if you're into Persian stuff. Especially in South Asia, Persian culture came with the Turks so it has residual (though not insignificant) Turkish influences. A number of historically important Muslim royals in India for example came from prominent Turkish or Mongolian families as opposed to Persian ones. |
