We should probably find a new food to put as the last option of every poll.

Key word in that study is "suggests". For all we know the most valuable prison commodity could be something else. (Imagine at own risk)

Actually, from what I've read, Ramen Noodles have indeed become the most valuable commodity in U.S. Prisons. And so what if they are? It doesn't mean they can't be valuable here, too.

Stop there,

Many honorable inhabitants have held a seat in the Council of Elders, including members who are no longer with us, either in game and/or IRL, members such as RedIron, and King Lionheart IV.

There are times for war, and times for weapons, unfortunately, but to aim them at those who take their time and devote it to the Realm is a disgusting insult.

I advise you to lower your weapons and apologize for the heinous and unfathomable actions you took at not only present members but past members of the Council of Elders.

  • The LinkRealm of Yggdrasil and Valhalla is a beautiful tree that lives in its dream for a utopian existence. The trees two largest branches, which are its two regions, are the focal points to the smaller branches' communities, which are the nations of said regions. Their unique sovereignty is held above all else, yet a pact of mutual defense and co-prosperity is eternally preserved. The branches of the tree grow of their own accord, but they all receive nourishment from the same roots.

    The Realm's role in the world is homologous to that of Switzerland. It remains neutral to world affairs. Exceptions, albeit rare, occur when sovereignty's are provoked. The willingness to lend aid to both its friends and military allies have given the Realm a name which NationStates has come to cherish throughout history.

    History


    Yggdrasil was first founded sometime in December of 2002 or January of 2003 by what is believed to be LinkThe Commonwealth of Mercadia. Some of its first inhabitants were Baronica, Qogu, New Lahan, Eternal Xmas, Nevia, and Mercadia. Sometime in December of 2005, Yggdrasil entered a period now known as the Dark Ages. Beginning due to external threats from a lack of internal activity, either Delegate Sijil or Renopia locked the region away for its own well-being from the rest of the Universe. This period of time lasted for nine months ending in August of 2006 with the entirety of the region being left to the confines of history.

    In October of 2006, Goddess Relief Office restored the region of Yggdrasil and brought life back to the grand tree. Since the re-founding, Goddess Relief Office, known to many as GRO, has declared their eternal devotion to the protection of the Realm.

    Foreign Relations & Military


    Embassies
    Yggdrasil has relations with a total of twenty regions.

    Regional Tags
    Yggdrasil has thirteen public tags, they are: Enormous, Offsite Forums, Anime, Social, Casual, Neutral, Map, Featured, Eco-friendly, Role Player, Multi-Species, Regional Government, and World Assembly. One of the most recently added tags is the Multi-Species tag. Another tag for "Anime" is often Yggdrasil's defining descriptor, the majority of the region contains individual nations who are fans of the Japanese hand-drawn or computer animation phenomenon known as "Anime."

    International Perception
    Many regions, including Yggdrasil itself, perceive Yggdrasil as the "Switzerland of NationStates" because of the regions devotion to international neutrality. Despite this, Yggdrasil still maintains its own standing army known as the Yggdrasil Defense Service (YDS). The YDS was established for the purpose of defending the region itself, or to defend regions it holds an alliance with because it is bound by treaty.

    International Intervention & Politics
    In recent history, California became founderless and needed to be re-founded to ensure its future security and survival. 10000 Islands (10KI) responded to the call, but not before the invader armies of DEN came. TITO, the name of the 10KI army, asked for support and in response the YDS was dispatched. In an attempt to smear the name of TITO and the YDS (which was dubbed "miniTITO") General Knot of the invading DEN army claimed that the defender armies of TITO and YDS were attempting to take-over the region of California and that TITO was doing this to claim a "trophy." Fortunately, the Security Council saw past the malign attempts to smear and defame defenders, who have time and time again defeated the evil forces of invaders. Today, DEN is nothing more than a shadow of its past. Filled with failure after being banned by the NationStates administrators for its top ranking members having used password decrypters.

    Yggdrasil Defense Service

    The Yggdrasil Defense Service is the standing army of the Realms. The YDS is classified as a defender army and is only dispatched once the Council of Elders agree upon a mission tasked to them from another region. The objective for the YDS, like all other defender armies, is to ensure that the standing, native delegate of a region isn't surpassed in World Assembly Endorsements so a raiding army cannot takeover. If raiders were to takeover a region, it would result in either the destruction of the region, or it being used as a Base of Operations by said invader army.

    Yggdrasil Defense Service Mission Statement:

    The Blessed Realm of Yggdrasil is one that stands for Peace, Equality, and Justice. While our arms are always extended to regions in goodwill, we will not hesitate to act upon those who threaten our security. The Yggdrasil Defense Service (YDS) forms the defense force of the Realm. It's first and foremost mission is to protect our shores, our values, our honor, and our laws.

    When not defending ourselves or our allies, Yggdrasil reserves the right to defend other like-minded regions. As a region for peace, we view any region that invade others with contempt. The act of invading founderless regions "for fun" is a dishonorable and cowardly practice. Yggdrasil will stand up to the bullies of this game to protect the weak and the defenseless.

    The motto of the YDS is "Pax Per Vires" (Peace through Strength) and the logo is called the Righteous Wing.

    The citizens of Eurasia have created their unofficial anthem for the Council of Elders.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAccZrwOJcw

    It is sung on occasions such as the departure and arrival of all new Senators Ministers and Delegates and if Yggdrasil hosts any national/international meetings.

    See, but the instant ramen isn't even the good stuff... I've been trying to import ramen that cooks like normal noodles lately (usually takes about 5-7 minutes to cook to full, which is a bit short compared to spaghetti), and while they do take more effort to cook, they're so much better.

If raiders were to takeover a region, it would result in either the destruction of the region, or it being used as a Base of Operations by said invader army.

    Yggdrasil Defense Service Mission Statement:

    The Blessed Realm of Yggdrasil is one that stands for Peace, Equality, and Justice. While our arms are always extended to regions in goodwill, we will not hesitate to act upon those who threaten our security. The Yggdrasil Defense Service (YDS) forms the defense force of the Realm. It's first and foremost mission is to protect our shores, our values, our honor, and our laws.

    When not defending ourselves or our allies, Yggdrasil reserves the right to defend other like-minded regions. As a region for peace, we view any region that invade others with contempt. The act of invading founderless regions "for fun" is a dishonorable and cowardly practice. Yggdrasil will stand up to the bullies of this game to protect the weak and the defenseless.

    The motto of the YDS is "Pax Per Vires" (Peace through Strength) and the logo is called the Righteous Wing.

I've been trying to import ramen that cooks like normal noodles lately (usually takes about 5-7 minutes to cook to full, which is a bit short compared to spaghetti), and while they do take more effort to cook, they're so much better.

    Ramen is good but I prefer soba. The best one I ever had was when my friend and I got completely lost in Japan at night and an old couple beckoned us into their really old looking hole in the wall restaurant and gave us a whole meal for like 2 bucks then showed us how to get back to our hotel in a different city. They kept on giving us food and we didn't want to be rude refusing it. There was this hilarious language barrier between us. It was a pretty mystical experience.

    No one is banning Ramen, or putting an embargo on it. Simply finding a new food to use at the end of polls.

    It's difficult to share a staple of culture when that staple is also prison currency.

    Those examples aren't supporting your case as they aren't staples of Yggdrasil culture. As far as I have seen it, Yggdrasil's staple and Culture is rooted in the preservation of peace and justice throughout nation by means of respecting sovereignty.
