Welcome back.

One nation saves me from having the least cheerful citizens in Canada. Thank you Mornangren.

Hello friends in Canada,

Forest's third annual Photo Contest is beginning and as has been the case in past years, submissions are open to anyone from our embassy regions. We'd love to see some submissions from y'all! :)

You can find more information here:

Yes, it's that time of year (and a little bit more)! Whether you're still eating leftover turkey or just looking forward to being done with 2017 already, the third annual Forest Photo Contest is back to spice up the last month of the year!

Here's what you need to know:

🌲 This year we have more categories than ever before! Our four categories will be:

• Trees (this category is permanent each year)

• Weather

• Sunrise / Sunset

• Flowers in the Concrete - Nature in Unexpected Places

🌲 You may submit up to 12 photos total. You may choose how to divide those among the different categories, but please do not submit more than 12.

🌲 Please post your photos in the appropriate thread on our forums, located here.

🌲 The photos must be taken by you.

🌲 Anyone in Forest or in a region which has an embassy with Forest may submit photographs for the Contest.

🌲 Timing:

• Submissions will be open from November 26th at 23:59 GMT (7pm EST) to December 23rd at 23:59 GMT.

• Voting will begin on December 24th at 23:59 GMT and end December 31st at 23:59 GMT, so that we will select the winners in the first minutes of 2018!

🌲 Due to the larger numbers this year and the restraints of forum polls, voting will take place on a Google Form. Needless to say, please no puppeteering!

🌲 The photographers with the top three photographs in each category will have their photos acknowledged on our RMB and in our regional newspaper, the Forest News Leaf. A banner will also be created with a collage of the top photos to applaud the winners, and participants in the competition will be encouraged to add it as their nation's custom banner. Forest's flag will also be changed to the 1st place photos in each category for a week after the Contest.

Now it's time to head out and start photographing!

Good luck to everyone!

A note on the forums: Forest's longtime forum host, InvisionFree, is currently closing and transferring all their forums to Tapatalk. Forest's forum was unfortunately transferred early and so we'll be operating on this platform until we can resolve the problem and hopefully move to Zetaboards or a similar, more familiar and customisable software. Apologies to everyone for any features which may be inaccessible while we're temporarily on Tapatalk.

(This is not recruitment) To anyone that will listen, there is a relatively new region that I have been monitering for a while. (I have created this nation to hide my identity) This region is in a very likely position to become another dangerous raider region! This region is called The Atlantic Cooperative. This region is highly nationalist and imperialist and has already made an attempt at taking over another region! However, I do not know if it was ultimately a success or not. Now, they have begun the process of creating a regional invasion military! Please, I am here to spread awarness. If we could get anyone to create a resolution condeming this region, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Mon dieu, ça c'est un autre example des anglophone nous silencer. Nous devons la savior depuis le début.

Hello, please consider taking the time to listen to this very important mini-broadcast:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16z9zkeNSWhVhwrZb6DPS6adT5kfr9Mhb/view?usp=sharing

It's best listened to on a mobile device that can use GoogleDrive, such as an Android phone or tablet.

This broadcast is entitled, "What is Child Abuse?" and was made for the Europeia Ministry of Radio's Microcast Reel as part of my activities in that region.

It details the definitions and signs of child abuse, as well as how to report it and/or seek help.

At a later date, I will be producing a dispatch version with an actual external link but I wanted to share this now that it's been published, as so many in the NationStates community are vulnerable to this kind of abuse.

My French is kinda bad but I'll try...
Bonjour, je suis une Canadienne qui est un vrai Canuck dans en vraie vie. Puis-je vivre dans ce pays? Désolé, mon français est mauvais.

On another note, I would like to invite you all to visit our booth at the Nation States World Fair

To submit, you can either post on the forum, here:

https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/nationstatesforest/open-forum-f4/

(if you do, please upload your photo to a site like Imgur and then post just the link without any tags on the forum - otherwise we can't see it), or you can simply telegram me with links to your uploaded photos!

You don't have to be a professional photographer or anything to take part - the more, the merrier!
