Statement on The Leftist Assembly

---

Greetings Refugia,

Refugia and The Leftist Assembly share many ties together. We shared member states, and we share leftist ideals. They are the largest leftist region in NationStates, with a highly active government system. They are, to quote, "chill people".

My predecessors had put in a lot of work into restoring our embassy with them, and I am please to announce that we are ready for the final step.

I am hereby invoking RRS 7(b)(iv) to call a referendum on opening an embassy with The Leftist Assembly.

All Member States may vote on this referendum here: https://vote.calref.ca/vote/80

Your Humble Servant,
The Star Enpire
Councillor of Foreign Affairs, Refugia

Read dispatch

A copy of our most recent Foreign Affairs dispatch.

The Office of Foreign Affairs, currently overseen by Councillor Purple gold, works to establish and maintain positive relationships with other regions on NationStates. We are responsible for overseeing the development of travel runes for embassy regions, as well as maintaining and cleaning the gates that will sweep our Envoys from the safety of Refugia and deposit them in different regions around the world. Once in place, our envoys maintain a presence in the diplomatic sector of that region, delivering news from Refugia to our friends, as well as delivering information about the goings-on of that region back to us.

Refugia is a region that prides itself on its stability. We’ve had a steady arc of population growth since 2019, most of our embassies are several years old, and our community has maintained a positive, inclusive equilibrium since it was founded. The community is generally made up of irreverent heckposters. We love the environment and deeply care about environmental issues, as well as human rights. We generally try to seek out other regions with similar tones and ideals, so we can share the hard-won enthusiasm and positivity with others. Because of this outlook, the things we look for in other embassies aren’t concrete numbers and figures. We simply want regions that share our ideals and are stable. If your region fills these requirements and has been around for over a year and is either maintaining its population or growing, that's usually enough to give you a chance.

Before opening or closing any embassies, we put the question to the region’s Member States with a four-day referendum. This means we will never accept an unprompted embassy request. If you’re interested in opening an embassy with us, contact the Councillor of Foreign Affairs. We’ll spend some time watching or participating in your community to see if we’d get along, and then put it to a vote. Because of this, the process will usually take at least two weeks before an embassy could be opened. If your region is fascist or in any way anti-left or anti-LGBT, or if you share embassies with regions that are, don't bother reaching out. Your request will be denied outright.

Refugi are always interested in keeping up contact with our friends! If you're in one of our embassy regions, we'd love to have you chat with us through our RMB. While we've historically been a bit isolationist, that doesn't extend to our embassies. Please forward any offers of shared regional events, game nights, movie nights, etc. to the Councillor of Foreign Affairs, or share the offer in our RMB! We've almost always accepted invitations to events, whether that be an N-Day faction with our embassies, inter-regional culture events, or discord festivals.
