Oh it's an OOC (Out Of Character) element of NS, it's related to the WA, here's a link if you need more info on the WA as a whole: page=faq (go to the World Assembly section). It's advised for members in the WA to endorse every other member in here, especially our delegate Lesser Velutaria
Endorsing is like "voting" for somebody to become our WA delegate.
ok
Yo, people have been talking about overeacting to the virus. Look at themessages further up for more information.
If you need an idea, I set a low level travel warning specific to the Abjekh region that the virus is in. So citizens are encouraged to avoid to the region for travel, not banned.
You are overreacting. If we were to close down borders any time there is an epidemic somewhere, you country would be closed down almost permanently...
I will say it again to those not listening. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, both IC AND OOC.
As I said, the RP Council would ban any pandemic and everyone here is just overreacting IC. Gass summed it up really well:
Please people, I know we are in the middle of a pandemic, but not every outbreak is like that, so do not make a mountain out of a molehill.

A return in economic development had shed light to Hoterallia after a strike of deals made with Krenya, the country returns to experience fast growth in development, economic and integration with the world.
In the past few weeks, Hoterallian economy begins to gain experience high growth as well as making new diplomatic action with the outside world, even though seeing the Krenyan oil crisis from afar, the country understand multiple actions that can help both Hoterallia and the world economy raise.
Compare from the annual report of the economy, compare to the Hoterallian Great Start in 1900 and the Market Launch of 1961, the decade starting point seems to be in a great success with a high rate of the economy still gaining it momentum for the years following.
A large percentage of the economy still cover education, as the literacy in Hoterallia is 99.9%, the status quo is still in check, outside education, the military continues to takes its chunk, the Hoterallian Self-defense Force still required conscription as well training the recruits to be prepared for both war time situation and everyday life situation.
"…Only after that, he realized that his work still in hundreds [to help escape hell], but with motivation, he tasted that bittersweet experience, bitter that he still have works, sweet that he know that he had done what he needed…"

Preparations for the Eastern Conference Begin
Delegations from various regional eastern powers will meet at the World Diplomatic Tower in Alexandria, Layfet next week to discuss a variety of topics specifically related to the eastern hemisphere. The Eastern Conference has taken place every five years since 1996 and is considered one of the most important recurring diplomatic conferences across the world. The conference usually covers general security, economic, and political concerns, however the 2021 Eastern Conference is different. Given what preliminary topics were negotiated by the participating nations to be placed on the docket earlier this year, this conference is surely to be quite an exciting one.
Delegations from Gran Rudgio, Gavrilia, Layfet, Moroavia, and Vultesia will all participate. The conference's discussion points have been released and are as follows:
1- General Concerns Regarding the Eastern Hemisphere
2 - The drought in Gran Rudigo
3 - Security concerns regarding measures made by the Rohynian Government
4 - Effects of the Krenyan Oil Crisis on the east
5 - Increasing eastern energy self-sufficiency
6 - Possible protectionist agreements that would benefit a increased reliance of "eastern bloc" nations on each other.
7 - Environmental concerns and their impact on defense and the regional economy
8 - Increasing investments in "eastern bloc" nations' infrastructure
9 - Reducing and policing piracy in the Eastern Hemisphere
10 - Expansion and reform of the Santa Elisa Accords
11 - Planning and Holding an eastern military solidarity exercise
12 - Creation of an "eastern bloc" free trade/customs union
Executive Minister Spencer Hastings will be away on holiday, thus the Layfetian Government will send Deputy Executive Minister Francisco Lascano to be Layfet's chief negotiator.

Tabuluan Infantry Engage in Firefight with Insurgents, Suffer Severe Casualties
As part of an anti-insurgent operation conducted in the late hours of the night, a platoon of Tabuluan soldiers engaged with pro-republic insurgents near the Loakinu suburb. Responding to an anonymous tip, the soldiers set up outside a house that supposedly harbored insurgents - only to get shot at by an insurgent setup. During the retreat, two dead soldiers were left behind, and the insurgents claim capture of at least 5 soldiers.
Using this power, the insurgents have demanded a ransom, forcing the release of the currently-imprisoned Ocan T'fiki, the Tabuluan president. the Junta has not responded diplomatically, rather they have launched a full-scale assault on the neighborhood. Civilians have been forced into the surrounding areas, and homelessness has peaked overall.
Several insurgent cells have been using Marlenkan-made firearms, suggesting a large-scale black market supplying of Marlenkan items. Many police and military forces have demanded civilians turn in their Marlenkan-arms, in order to easily mark which individuals are possible members of the insurgent forces.
The Tabuluan Republic's official stance has been one of calling for peace, although smaller insurgent cells have protested this action. As violence engulfs Ka'kua, many civilians have turned their backs on all forms of governments and small defence coalitions have drastically risen in number. Reporters have confirmed that at least 220 different organizations are currently vying for survival, domination, or liberation within Tabulu. Because of this, the junta has turned off water filtration for "rebellious" districts, causing a cholera outbreak throughout Ka'kua. With very little outside support, the Tabuluan situation has become an example of modern-day anarchy: perhaps a warning to other nations, tread the line between a riot and a rebellion very carefully.

Hey there, not sure if anyone has let you know, but we've a 28 day probationary period before military/armed RPs can be conducted, as well as other criteria that can be found in Rules of War, please adhere to thr Regions RP guidelines and feel free to reach out if you've any questions.
The Anterian roleplay is a modern tech world completely unrelated to Earth. That means that the roleplay takes place in the current year; 2021, and any real-life countries, as well as the Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, etc simply don't exist. But how does it work?
First things first
- - The No. 1 rule in roleplay and worldbuilding is consent. So before you go and declare war on other countries, you need to understand that in order to include other countries into your roleplay, worldbuilding and lore, you have to get their permission to do so! That's why Anterian roleplay isn't just only acting and reacting, but often creating and discussing scenarios and events together with other members. Of course, foreign policy that includes other nations like for example travel bans, condemnations, or embargoes, which don't necessarily have to directly harm or generally affect the nation, are an exception.
- Since this is a realtime RP in 2021, please stay realistic, especially when worldbuilding and roleplaying military. If you don’t know what is realistic and what’s not, just ask the Director of Roleplay (DoRP), a Councilor, or someone with enough knowledge to advise you.
- In order for roleplay-posts to be canon, they have to be posted on the Regional Message Board (RMB), even if you already posted it in #today-in-anteria on the regional Discord!
How does one start roleplaying?
That is fairly simple. Whenever a new nation joins the roleplay, everyone acts like they have always existed. That way people are free to create their lore as they wish. If you don't know what to post or want to contact other roleplayers on a simpler way than having to write telegrams, there are several channels on our regional Discord server dedicated to roleplay and worldbuilding, which is why I highly recommend joining it!
On the other side, whenever a nation leaves the roleplay, may it be due to inactivity and CTEing (Nations "cease to exist" after 28/60 days of inactivity on NationStates, depending on if they are on Vacation Mode or not), leaving Anteria, or the player changing their nation in the roleplay, everyone acts as if the nation never existed in the first place.
If you want to add some spice to your worldbuilding, you can also create a wikipedia-like article about your nation on a website called IIWiki. Don’t know how it works or how to start? Just ask Registrars or people with knowledge for help and take a look in #wiki-requests on Discord. We already have lots of articles, including one about Anteria itself! When looking at the iiwiki-page, you might notice that Anteria is treated as a planet in the "Tendor System", which means that planets like Mars don't exist and that our system looks different. Anteria is the name of the planet, similar to how our planet is called "Earth" or "Terra". Same goes with our irl countries. As England doesn't exist in our roleplay, the universal language is often referred to as "Common".
Now we get to the most complicated part of Anterian roleplay: War.
Anteria works so well because we have the rules stated here. And that also applies to roleplaying warfare. To prevent newer players from jumping into the RP and directly trying to start wars or similar, we have several rules in order to restrict warfare. One of those being that you as a new player are not allowed to start conflicts like wars (including insurgencies and civil wars) for the first 28 days of your stay in Anteria. That way, we can ensure that people get to know our RP and rules well enough instead of heading right into low-quality and/or badly prepared warfare roleplay.
Additional to that, in order to start wars, there should be some kind of buildup and casus belli (so a valid reason for war), instead of just declaring it out of the blue.
Those are just some examples, so please make sure to read the
Rules of War!
When talking about war history, we do have worldbuilt our own equivalent to the two irl World Wars; The Great War. In order to participate, I recommend contacting Zhousheng (Discord Fjana#6634).
The Map
Of course, roleplaying and worldbuilding without having an idea of where nations are is almost impossible. That is why we maintain a map of Anteria. In order to get a spot on the map, you have to claim the area you want your nation to be. You can do that by either downloading it or taking a screenshot (The latest map is linked on Anteria's World Factbook Entry, as well as in the #map-submissions channel on Discord), marking your claim (make sure it is reasonably sized and consider other maps like climate, tropical storms, etc.), and sending the claim to the Director of Cartography, Foxomexra, either by sending a telegram or posting the claim in #map-submissions on Discord.
When you have claimed a spot, your nation will be added in the next map update, which is every Wednesday and Saturday
White spots on the map are unclaimed land. It is complicated on how much one can interact with it, as there neither a void, nor complete anarchy with no governing structure, but rather some kind of governments noone can roleplay with, since there is no player to roleplay with. That also makes expansion of territory into unclaimed land for roleplay purposes a complicated topic, but not an impossible one. If you have something like that in mind for a roleplay idea, just talk with the Director of Cartography or Roleplay.

The essentials of your worldbuillding
What you definitely need are the population and GDP of your country. Those are one of the most defining factors of how your country is gonna look like. Since NationStates-stats are highly unrealistic, you will have to come up with your own. For that I recommend the following:
-
1. Ask the cartographer Foxomexra about the size of your claim.
2. Settle on a population density, taking climate and other stuff into account.
3. Calculate your Population (Pop. Density × Size)
4. Settle on a GDP per capita (if you plan on being as wealthy as European nations, anything in a range of 10,000-45,000 ACU range is recommended, 50,000 ACU and above is quite wealthy, and countries even wealthier than that are usually smaller in population, like Switzerland, Qatar, Norway, etc.)
5. Calculate your GDP (GDP per capita × Population)
Please be reasonable with your nation's population density and most importantly GDP per capita. Trying to be a world-dominating economic power like the irl USA will not work!
For population density and GDP per capita, I suggest taking real-life countries as a reference. If you are wondering what “ACU” (or sign ₳) is, it’s an abbreviation for “Anterian Currency Unit”. Though it’s not a currency but only a unit of measurement for international trade. 1 ACU is 1 USD. Similar concept extends to the so called “Anterian Wealth Unit” (AWU, ₩), which is equal to one International (Geary–Khamis) Dollar and is used as a unit of measurement for the Purchasing power parity.

I also want to point out on this that a near 1:1 kill/capture ratio is ridiculous, most people surrender after 15% casualties. Even for supposed terrorists, this is an absurdly high number.

After the Scandal Hands Clean, where about 17 ministers including the Minister Wilzina had ties to powerful underworld organizations. The government resigned and the members of the Nationalist and Liberal-Democratic blocs ,flanked by members of the armed forces, gave birth to a confederate interim government with the Hongheria, outlining the two state and administrative entities of the nation : the valkist republic of Volomia and the valkist republic of Hongheria. The new Prime Representstive Minister of the Valkist Republics has been elected today. The new Prime Representstive Minister of the Valkist Republics is Edvard Grieg

85% of Gran Rugido face drought conditions.
Adrián Fonseca
Laurua, Gran Rugido. 17/05/2021
Drought conditions now cover 85% of Gran Rugido and residents of the nation’s central region said Thursday that lakes and reservoirs are simply drying up, including certain sections of Lake Girón. It has also been reported that several dams are in less than 50% of capacity.
President Matias Torres and the CONAGUA (National Comission of Water) has called citizens three levels of government to use water responsibly as fears of a scarce reality could be anywhere soon. President Torres also addressed that this drought could be the worst since the times of the “País Seco” in the early 1960’s.
Related to the drought phenomena, the Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Sustentabilidad (MIMAS) also issued that possible dust storms in the region of the Jilachi Desert and has recommended the government to act against the vulnerable people in the areas of risk as water and food supply could shorten due to the drought. Drought conditions are expected to continue in 2021 although the rainy season, which usually begins in June or August, should bring some relief.
The CONAGUA said that it will be implementing a plan to mitigate the drought’s effects and will launch a publicity campaign to promote water-saving measures in a variety of settings.
Since 1 October 2020, the meteorological service informed that the country had 20% less precipitation than average. Several areas on the central, northern, and southeastern región of Gran Rugido reached temperatures superior to 35 °C (95° F).

Principate to Stand With Olivacian Nation.
V:24, The Principate's News, First, Always
Monday, 17th of May, 2021
With precipitation down and an official state of Drought now in effect across over three quarters of the nation of Gran Rugido, a bill regarding assistance to the Olivacian nation has been submitted by the Chamber Elect. Official Party sources project the proposal will be ratified by the Chamber Select and Princeps imminently.
The generous proposed aid package is, Chamber Members state, designed to take a multi-pronged approach to alleviating Gran Rugido's crisis, and has been engineered by the Elect Executive Committee for International Funds, with Timoday Afwasz CM (Agrarian Farmers) - taking a leading role.
Surplus consumables, set once bound for Krenya before Rudolf Kren's crass attempt at disrupting the global oil trade, will now fittingly, be sent South, where they will aid those who directly felt the impact of the Westerner's power play. Frozen meats & vegetables, as well as long lasting canned and dehydrated foodstuffs are all set to be requisitioned from their storage yards to aid the needy Olivacians.
Bömond Stjepanitt CM (Reservoirs & Water Industries), has also indicated how state firms such as Hydro-Pyper, in which he owns a majority stake, responsible for half a dozen reservoirs around the Principate's largest lake could be utilised both in the issuing of fresh water, and the employment of irrigation specialists should the climatic conditions worsen further.
Speaking on behalf of the Executive Committee, upon officially proposing their plan in the Chamber today, Mister Afwasz CM stated that:
"The needs of Vultesia, and Vultesians, have, and will continue to be placed at the forefront of all this Committee and Chamber do; yet stability, and the cessation of suffering in the homelands of our allies, is essential for the continued reputation and influence of this Great Principate on the the global stage."
V:24 also understands that VNS Damsel, a casualty receiving and crisis relief vessel, and an unspecified number of other vessels currently stationed with the Principate's Sunadic Fleet in Gavrillia, has been stood up on readiness, though Naval Services Command has yet to comment on whether this related to the drought. Closer to the epicentre of the crisis Vultesian airmen deployed to the Gran Rugodian island of Roca Roja, have begun preparations at VAF Red Rock to embark the aid and support expected imminently from the Principate to the Olivacian mainland.

If you haven't already, read the previous submission called Aftermath, it is a fundamental part of understanding what goes on during this submission.
While standing up, his eyes followed the woman's body up to her face at the top to not look rude; At least, that was the idea. She looked at him after having picked up the flowers and smiled a wild flirtatious curve. Sayida couldn't help but feel sorry for all of the locals, so he expressed his sorrow and remorse. "I'm so sorry for what happened here; Even though none of the people who didn't fight died, you all lost those closest, your families and your friends. I can't help but want to make it up to you all personally without the diplomatic extravagance," Sayida said, looking the woman in the eye the entire time. The woman opened her mouth as to speak, hesitated, then spoke, "I know it wasn't your fault, neither was it the soldiers."
"I owe Qui Latine for killing my husband, the soldier. He had not been good to me; Although I loved him deeply, I couldn't stand how he seemed to ignore the family we had built together. I told him time multiple times he would die in whatever war he fought, and over time, my love disappeared," the woman said, still managing to smile while hints of tears formed in her eyes. Sayida put his hand on her shoulder, "Losing enemies is unpleasant too; At first, you heave a sigh of relief, but then you find the things you liked about them, even if you hated the things they chose and whatever things they did.". She looked with a bold curiosity, "My name is 愛するバラ, I've heard of you plenty enough to catch your name, and I'd like to meet with you sometime soon again. It was nice meeting you," Aisuru bara then handed him a rose and continued walking.
Locking down travel to and from Abjekistan hasn't killed my economy
I import few things from Abjekistan
The reason I banned travel to and from Abjekistan was because of the Bulyak Pox, an unknown poxvirus which has the potential to spread to most of the world if not contained!
I do not want my economy to be devastated because of constant lockdowns once the virus reaches my shore!
