I didn't get lost. I was invited by a poster on another Forum who had created a new region, but after all the posters from that Board had ceased to exist, I just stuck around.
Also, any of you good chaps happen to know what's going on with the random links from new nations in rmb's? Possible IP laundering?
Problems with links for new nations? I haven't noticed. Could you provide an example?
Hello people the governor decided to make 2 day poll. You can vote. If one them get choosen the govenor will do it.
page=poll/p=301071
uh why are you reading this.
Is water wet?
Irrelevant. It is but mere water, and thus it is like asking if something like liquid mercury was wet or something.
Simply put, the term of "is [OBJECT] wet/similar-things" is but merely irrelvant, only solids and occasionally gas (As in the atmosphere usually) can have that question applied, liquids cannot.
That is the debate sealed, it is but a mere Irrelevant question that doesn't even make sense.
I need you to come perform at my party this Friday.
Water makes items wet. Wet is a descriptor of something that has absorbed, or is covered in a liquid (Usually water-based).
BEHOLD!

----------------------------------------------------------
To ensure my happiness, stability,
power and general wellbeing as well
as that of my cronies I find myself using lawful exercise of power
which is bestowed by the officers amongst us to create this document
which outlines the general guidelines on the faculties of said
officers, citizens, and plebians. The constitution must form
the basis of all lawful acts of government. Any attempt to undermine
it shall be dealt with the removal of the individuals faculties of existence.
------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter I (The supreme leader, personalized his thickness)
The official name for the position of the ruler of the region shall be known as 'Supreme Leader' though if the leader prefers it it can also go for a personalized title in addition to the official name in this case the officer, Nikocado Avocado from Mother Knows Best State is the incumbent supreme leader but chose the personalized moniker 'His Thickness' to refer to himself.
The Supreme Leader is an unnelected position and one may only become it through succession from the previous one. The faculties of the Supreme Leader include:
I. Proposing legislation that must first go through the lower house (Spammy Powder) and then if approved to the upper house (Supreme Spammy Court) if the supreme court rejects the legislation then it must be sent back to the Spammy Powder for ammendments and then voted again. The Supreme leader vote however is worth 15 as opposed to the Lardeputies and Court Officials, 1.
II. Building embassies.
III. Banning people for violations of Lardish law or personal grief.
IV. Elaborating polls.
V. Appointing elected and unelected officers.
VI. Dismissing officers.
VII. Ratifying or dismissing the results of the elections.
VIII. Altering the regional symbols as well as the WFE.
IX. Keeping activity healthy.
X. Engage in diplomacy.
XI. Do whatever he thinks he's right (must justify it to the court first.)
XII. Issue constitutional decrees. (Only applies to enshrining the faculties of new officers)
XIII. Declaring war.
The leader may only be dismissed if a vote of no confidence is held in the Supreme Spammy Court in which the supreme leader is not allowed to vote and if at least 80% of the region's population sees him as illegitimate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter II (Officers)
The WA delegate is an imposition force fed to us from the secret world shadow government bent in establishing global socialism. The WA delegate shall have no faculties, though currently due to the absence of the governor in turn to resign and acknowledge Nikocado Avocado from Mother Knows Best State as the rightful Supreme Leader, the WA position shall do temporarily until governorship is aquired afterwards it shall be left as a token position with no actual power.
The Supreme leader in turn can at any moment create a new random position that may have whatever powers he wishes that position to have. It can be enshrined into the consitution through decree.
Only 3 of the 16 total deputies will be given regional powers. The Spammy Powder can propose candidates but the Supreme Leader has the final say. The Lardeputy that is given power can be given all powers except succession
and border control. The position lasts a year but can be prolonged if the Supreme Leader deems so. Lardeputies will be dismissed if the recipient of the position fails to meet 2 of the 4 responsabilities within a month period. Here are the Lardeputies protocols if given any of the following powers, keep in mind that which each new power given there comes a new responsability except for appeareance.
If given embassies, the Lardeputy must build a minimum of 20 within a month to keep his position.
If given communications, the Lardeputy must post at least 10 posts a month.
If given polls, the Lardeputy must vote at least in one poll or create one.
In addition he or she must send at least 5 recruitment TG's per month.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faculties of the elected Lardeputy.
I. The Lardeputy may make liberal use of communication powers.
II. The Lardeputy may make liberal use of appearence powers.
The Lardeputy may make liberal use of poll powers.
The Lardeputy may make liberal use of embassy powers.
Cleans the toilets of the Spammy Court, that's it. He may do as he please otherwise. Position expires never.
Only 5 of the 16 Supreme Spammy Court may be given regional powers, the position lasts for a year but may be prolonged if Supreme Leader deems so. 2 Supreme Spammy Court members are permanent North Cromch, and Captian Lard. The rest will be elected through elections. All powers can be given no strings attached, the Despot may do as he pleases as long as he doesn't threaten regional security.
Only Gustatopolis may get this position. He can assign a successor at any time. Expires never.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter III (The Regime)
The regime shall be known colloquially as the Riceist Regime and officially as the Regime of the Rising Sun hence the diminutive (Riceist) The regime shall always be praised with devotion by all it's followers as the true and only sovereign regime of Lardyland. The official party of the revolution is the Riceist party. 12 of the 16 Supreme Spammy Court members must also belong to the party, and at least 5 from the Spammy Powder must belong to it as well. The rest may belong to other parties.
The official flag of the regime is the 'Rising Stripes' flag it may only be altered through legislation. This flag shall represent Lardyland in the international stage. However any officer may change the regional flag if he pleases, it won't just become the official flag.
The regime must be upholded at any cost. In the face of invasion citizens must praise the regime and chant it's greatness, in the face of defeat claim victory and sacrifice their lives for the values that give us hope.
The following is Lardyland's regional anthem it may be changed through legislation.
In the dawn of a brand new day,
Underneath the sun's bright ray,
We stand as one, hearts beating strong,
In a land where we all belong.
(Chorus)
Oh, sing with pride, our anthem rings,
In harmony, our spirit sings,
United we stand, hand in hand,
In this vibrant, diverse land.
(Verse 2)
From mountains high to oceans wide,
In every valley, every stride,
We build our dreams, we reach for the sky,
With hope that never will die.
(Chorus)
Oh, sing with pride, our anthem rings,
In harmony, our spirit sings,
United we stand, hand in hand,
In this vibrant, diverse land.
(Bridge)
Through trials and triumphs, we endure,
With courage strong, our hearts secure,
For in our unity, we find our might,
Guided by truth, embracing the light.
(Chorus)
Oh, sing with pride, our anthem rings,
In harmony, our spirit sings,
United we stand, hand in hand,
In this vibrant, diverse land.
(Outro)
So let our voices blend as one,
In the glory of the rising sun,
For in our unity, we shall thrive,
In this nation, our spirits alive.

From my observations across NS as a whole, within the last 24 hours a multitude of regions have had day old nations arriving, posting a link in the RMB, and then terminating. I assume since they are being terminated someone higher up has noticed something is fishy, so it's probably nothing to worry about. For now at least. (The link I clicked on took me to some random blogging site about a guy talking about 80's rock, but I was redirected multiple times and told 'This website is not secure'
Thank you. An interesting question, obviously intended to promote discussion on the RMB. The wettability does not depend on the water, but upon the properties of the thing being wet. For example, water will spread across a car windshield because glass has a high wettability, but water will bead-up on a Teflon skillet, because Teflon has a low wettability. So is water wet? Maybe...
Sounds like an organized spamming effort. We should thank our Moderators for being on the ball!
I found NationStates when going on a Wikipedia rabbit hole about…would you believe it, political simulation games! I really wanted Democracy 4 then.
Yeah don't think I am able to get a flight by this friday to your party anyway so...
Man I want democracy 4 to it's just that I don't have a computer
Welcome to our RMB.
There was an attempted raid of my region. But I don't know what organization did it since the puppets all came from random regions rather then a jump point. Anyone got any ideas?
Possibly alts sinking in other regions, possibly newly created alts in frontiers or feeders, a multicoordinated attack on your region, or even a planned assault from multiple regions to try to partially throw off suspicion! The raiding business is quite... complicated.
Probably organized on Discord. That makes it difficult to investigate on the game side.
How much sawdust can you put into Rice Krispie Treats before people start to notice?
To be fair, probably more than most people are comfortable with
