Ahh yes, a fellow Roman.
The Guy from Finding Nemo, Dory, I think. I forgot what this was all about v_v
Hello

Stonefish, I once learned about them in a National Geographic documentary and they kinda stuck on my mind.
Question Of The Day!!
What invention do you think is under-appreciated, but has greatly improved the world?
Dragonian Alliance, Scorched Ice, Nova constanis, The ordangen union, and 2 othersRussia 2 electric boogalo, and OH YEAH MR KRABS
The internet. There are some bad things with it in terms up stupid stuff on social media and like the dark web but most of the internet's pretty amazing and now that it's like everywhere people take it for granted
haha lol no
probably toilet paper tbh
Well like 99% of the Internet is the deepweb and 50% is Dark web. So to be honest most of the Internet is bad but majority of people can only access that slim 1%.
I personally think that Bazelgette's Sewers are under-appreciated (Admittedly we did learn about him in History). But his sewers helped to ensure diseases such as cholera didn't spread. It also helped combat the Great Stink.
People don't really appreciate them and the sewer workers, they demonstrate this by flushing wet wipes, Nappies and Sanitary Pads. As well as pouring oil and fat down the sink.
Vaccines.
Money.
I think water filtration and pumping, irrigation, sewer systems, and the immense system it takes to produce food for everyone.
We turn on the water without thinking, flush the toilette without paying it any mind, we go buy Groceries in a moments notice and take no time to think of the effort it took to make those groceries available.
Our world of convenience is truly amazing, no other Prior Generation could have dreamt of what we have today.
Statistically, there are only around 5,000 accessible darknet sites. Most of the inaccessible web is made up of databases, your email inboxes, stuff like that.
I will say... the scientific method because Tethys stole my first reaction. Still the scientific method provides a framework and methodology to attempt to understand the world in a rational nonphilosophical manner. This has led to the rigorous testing of various physical materials to produce many wonderful invention and insights into our beautiful world.
Light bulbs because no one notices them in there daily lives or if they do then they don’t care

Kranostav wins TNP delegate election
Incumbent delegate Prydania chose not to stand due to RL commitments, so it was a race between various other notable members of the region for the delegacy. Former Minister of World Assembly Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs Kranostav ran a campaign that promised making improvements to the North Pacific Army, more work in the World Assembly to increase TNP's power, and reaching out to UCRs, alongside a sizable amount of domestic policies. Meanwhile former Foreign Affairs Minister Praeceps's campaign focused on administration and culture, with a promise to open up applications to become a minister to the public. Also running was Pigeonstan, former Speaker Gorundu and famous card collector 9003.
The results were fairly close, as Kranostav pulled out an early lead in the first preference votes, but picked up few second and third preference votes, meaning that the race came down between them and Praeceps for the victory. Kranostav just about held on and officially became delegate-elect of The North Pacific while the transfer between delegates happens. In the race for Vice-Delegate, only two candidates stood, Dreadton and Bobberino. Dreadton received over 72% of the votes, winning the race for Vice-Delegate. Three candidates stood for Speaker, Comfed, Lady Raven Wing and Madjack, who won with a commanding 74% of the vote.
There is not much unusual about this election, as the policies proposed by the candidates are standard for GCRs and TNP in particular, yet this is an
interesting time at the moment, as TNP's power and influence grows in the WA. Whether this growth will continue, or will the power of large UCRs overpower this influence, is something that no-one can predict.
Mysterious TBH puppet relocation?
Possibly the most obvious reason would be that it is a new jump point, which is a region where raiders move from into regions being raided, and are used because they update later than all other regions. However, this is quickly disproved as the region's regional officers are not from military regions, such as Thalassia and Refugia. Also, the region updates much earlier than required for a jump point. Another possibility is card farming, but we would probably see much more issue-answering and inter-regional co-operation for card farming is rare.
I think one of the most likely possibilities is N-day. We are already seeing inter-regional alliances being created for N-day, and co-operation between these regions is probably only possible under those circumstances, but we would probably be seeing embassies being created with the involved regions. Also the name is very unusual for an N-day faction. One may suspect the regions are simply trying to hide this information, but this might not be true. There is little need to hide information about N-day factions until N-day itself arrives, by when plans are usually kept secret, aside from the fact that some cannot access means to communicate such as discord, but that is a different matter.
I still see very few reasons why this region has been created aside from N-day or possibly card farming. If this becomes an N-day faction, then it is more proof of what this year's N-day is already shaping up to be. Big inter-regional factions with mass puppet armies. However there are still mysteries, such as why such fundamentally different regions are co-operating, or why embassies haven't been created and why the name is so weird. We will no doubt know soon
🟥How Large are Regional Communities?
Let's take a look at a relatively large defender region, Order of the Gray Wardens. The region has 222 nations at the time of writing. TGW has a purely onsite defender role, known as the Guardians. By looking at the data from these operations, we find that in the past 2 and a half months, 20 nations have taken part in operations. In terms of the wardens, who are the offsite-based defenders, numbers are harder to come by without combing through loads of forum posts. But what we do know, is that these players are not going to be the other 200 nations in the region. A realistic estimate would be about 15-40 nations. Now some puppets are in the region some of the time, but the vast majority are either inactive or simply answering issues.
Now let's look at RP. The Western Isles is a region that is mainly focused on RP, although there is a relatively sizable focus on regional politics. By looking at the region's actively updated map, and using the raw feature and google chrome's find feature, we find that there are 52 nations involved. This is just over a quarter of the region's 192 nations. A safe assumption when including puppets and politics-focused nations would still mean that less than half of the region is involved in regional activities.
To conclude, there is no simple way to work out how many nations are actively involved in regions, because of puppets and some information that isn't available. But I'd say from pure experience of regions that less than half of the nations in a region are involved in activities beyond occasional RMB posts. One possible way to work this out could be election turnouts, but this relies on citizenship, which can sometimes complicate matters. NS was designed to be a game played for a very short time, that's why only 30 issues were originally made, and why RMB posts originally disappeared after only 10 posts. We, the NS community made it into what it is today, through roleplay, politics and R/D. No wonder some new players aren't involved in their regions, or only answer issues. Issues appear as a notification, something that makes the player want to answer them. 'Military gameplay' can sometimes confuse new players, and new players don't always understand RP. Does this matter? Probably not; there's no problem with players just answering issues, although they might go inactive quicker
🟥Sorry about the delay in publishing this issue, both real-life and NS commitments got in the way. Some readers might have noticed a news reporter who has been copying articles from the NationStates Chronicle and other notable news reporters. Please do not upvote these dispatches and avoid giving them too much attention, and hold up reputable NS news dispatches instead.
Have any news stories that you would like to see in here? Then TG me with a brief explanation of what has happened/what you want to be in the story. Please make sure that it is NS-related, interesting to the general NS community and notable. Please do not ask me to make a story about moderator actions. I reserve the right to reject any story that I believe shouldn't be in The NationStates Chronicle.

Think about it. At some point, some madlad decided “These feet protectors are not enough. I must protect my feet from the feet protectors.” And now we have cozy socks.
Question Of The Day!!
If you could visit one other planet, which one would it be?
Dragonian Alliance, Arkadia Universalis, Scorched Ice, The ordangen union, and 1 otherIstanhaust
Provided I would not be destroyed, I would visit Pluto. It has ground I can walk on. It has a cool design. It occupies a unique part of our cultural conciousness. It was also my favorite planet since I was tiny.
Luna State and The ordangen union
A trans-dimensional planet
