My sister just sent my family and I pictures of her neighborhood in El Salvador; she's fine but others aren't as lucky. Last night a tropical storm caused significant flooding throughout ES and Guatemala. Having visited last March, I met a lot of the people being affected and am saddened to see the destruction of practically all they have. I pray they have a speedy cleanup and that those effected will be safe.

I hate posting this after the last post, but... I finally did the guide on writing dispatches on Nation States ->

This is a guide, or an instruction on the categories around Nation States for all the users that like Nation States based role-play, especially in-depth. After reading this you'll be ready to write down a dispatch or post on the RMB!
  • Factbook - Think of them as an official international article about your nation using most objective data possible. You can think of it as a Wikipedia page type of thing.

    • Overview - It is rather sparse information about your nation. Preferably keep it short. It is usually clicked by the people that want quick information on your nation without much reading. It is an invitation to read the rest of your factbooks and it can have links to your most interesting Accounts.

    • History - Every important event that happened in the past and your overall timeline should be written in a factbook in this category.

    • Geography - Everything about your country's forests, mountains, cities and maps should go here.

    • Culture - This is where you should keep articles about your national language, ethnicity, folklore and such.

    • Politics - This category is for all the stories about your votes, important political campaigns that have impact on your people and all current politics that is not legislation.

    • Legislation - From the constitution to the most ridiculous laws of your nation state.

    • Religion - Here you can post articles about religion of your citizens including all religion that does not exist in the real world.

    • Military - Most agree that you should put military operations here as well as a description of your army and its equipment, as well as possible laws regarding them.

    • Economy - All the things regarding money that are not taxes, because that would be legislation. You can also write down your most influential companies here, or worker unions.

    • International - From international foundations similar to the red cross, all the way to military alliances and federations, but only if all other nations included already agreed on being part of it, otherwise post on the Regional Message Board (RMB) or send them a Telegram.

    • Trivia - Useless information that you find interesting about your nation.

    • Miscellenious - That's just a very fancy way of calling it "other".

  • Account - It's a non-interactive story from the reality of your nation. If no other nation can have any say on the matter, then it's best to put it in an Account and only share a link to it in the RMB.

    • Military - Stories about your soldiers and such.

    • Trade - All stories about international and national transactions.

    • Sport - Stories about sporting events, fan fights and such.

    • Drama - Personal stories of regular civilians that happen to shake the nation and make "drama".

    • Diplomacy - All stories about things that happened in embassies and dignitaries from different nations that visited your country, or your people visiting other countries.

    • Science - Stories about your scientists and their discoveries.

    • Culture - Those may vary from descriptions of operas, tv shows to cultural festivals.

    • Other - Any story that is interesting, happening in your nation, but does not fit in any category.

  • Regional Message Board - RMB is for things that need discussion with other nations from the region and at the same time need publicity, with the possibility of other region members joining into the discussion.

    • You should learn how to use NSCodes in order to write quality Factbooks, Accounts and Regional Message Board Posts! Here's a link to an existing guide to all of it: page=dispatch/id=330837

The Rouge Christmas State, United massachusetts, and Lagrodia

The most important issue in this presidential election is foreign relations. In the past few months, the pro-choice faction in the World Assembly made two attempts to enact a proposal called "Access to Abortion," which would force WA member nations to fund abortions. Both attempts came very close to bringing this proposal to a vote, where it would have likely passed. Therefore, it is very likely that its supporters will make a third attempt to get it passed, so we must elect a President who would be able to marshal effective opposition against such an attempt.

RIGHT TO LIFE REGIONAL ELECTION

Nominations are now open for the June 2020 presidential election:

WA members* will also find a telegram in their inbox. The mass telegram system is the fastest and easiest way to obtain an accurate list of the WA members present in Right to Life at any given time. (Send the telegram, and then check the "Delivery Reports.")

I don't know about other players' computers, but I think the dispatch that Under ledzia posted is distorting the appearance of the regional message board. It's not his fault. There appears to be an error in NationStates' code.

I have noticed this phenomenon as well.

I am referring to the regional election.

What’s happening for you? I’m on mobile, everything is normal except that the “Read Dispatch” button is below the comment-writing textbox rather than underneath the preview of the dispatch.

I did not get the telegram, but I also checked my filters and I accept regionwide telegrams...

I just sent a copy of it to you via telegram, hopefully that works. If that didn't come through just check the forums.

It does do that for me... No idea why would that happen...

3 minutes ago: The Rouge Christmas State was reclassified from "Corporate Bordello" to "Anarchy".

You didn't offer any third-party options in the presidential election.

Do you block WA telegrams? I sent the telegram under the criteria of residence plus WA membership.

Stellonia wrote:You didn't offer any third-party options in the presidential election.

I'll just point out that their poll asked "who will win the US Presidential election." I suppose the victory of a third-party candidate is theoretically possible, but it's never happened in the nation's history.

Welcome to Right to Life, American antartica!

I'm curious. What slice of the Antarctic continent is yours?

I do block WA campaign telegrams.

The Gallant Old Republic wrote:I do block WA campaign telegrams.

Ok, that must be the cause.

Also, it's ironic that the Minister of World Assembly Affairs blocks WA campaign telegrams.

:P

Over the two years I've had this nation, the back story has changed a lot (it once even owned all of Antarctica but that's boring) but as of now it's story is that it is located in an area from Marie Byrd land all the way to the end of the Antarctic Peninsula and the surrounding islands.

Greetings, RtL!

I would like to inform you about the creation of a new tournament I'm doing to fill in my crippling hockey withdrawal desire to build relationships and run a sports tournament. To that end, I have created the first Conservative Hockey Cup, which pretty much does what it says on the tin. You can sign up here: viewtopic.php?ns=1&f=7&t=486545&p=37216098#p37216098

I hope to see you all on the ice! (looking at you, UM, I know you're a hockey fan)

This is a fantastic insight into Orthodox monasticism. Their level of devotion is phenomenal:
