RE New Year's poll, given we've already lost Adobe Flash and the city of F--king, Austria, I suspect this is a worse year than 2020 already.
I thought Adobe Flash was pretty much a hacker's dream. Did I miss something?
What happened to F--king, Australia? Giant sinkhole?
Hey Texas! It seems like the December Emissary Report for XKI is out, so I encourage you all to check it out! This month’s report features an interview with Grea Kriopia, a relatively new player who currently holds the positions of Minister of Education and TITO Tactical Officer, and has formerly held the positions of Senator for Blue Canaria North and Cultural Officer too.
10000 Islands Emissary Report
Date: November 2020
Population: 1,344
Delegate Endorsement: 438
Forum:
https://10000islands.proboards.com/ Discord:
https://discord.gg/4uWZbNS Has your region been invaded, or do you want to get in touch with TITO? If so, contact one of the following nations:
~Chief Executive: Markanite
~Field Commander: Kanta Hame
~Tactical Officers: Shy Guyia, Smugglers and Mercs (TITO EF), Controlitia, Grea Kriopia, Kuriko, Wischland
~Executive Officers: Hakketomat, Aschente
As of this report's publication, the Government of 10000 Islands consists of:
~Chief Executive: Markanite
~WA Delegate: HumanSanity
~Senior Senator for New Republica South (Debates and Discussions): Controlitia
~Senator for Himes West (RP): Wille-Harlia
~Senator for Blue Canaria North (Emissary Report): Wischland
~Senator for Lyonnesse East (Houses): Aschente
~Minister of Education: Grea Kriopia
~Minister of Labor: Free Las Pinas
~Minister of Immigration: Thedairos
Information about other government officials of 10000 Islands can be found here.
~Minister of Education Grea Kriopia hired Dokansia to serve as Deputy Minister of Education and assist in organizing and updating The Great Library of 10000 Islands and coordinating the mentorship of new Islanders.
~GK also hired Murphtannia as XKI’s latest Welcome Buddy to help greet new Islanders and get them adjusted to life in the region.
~Secretary of State Margaux hired Sulenia to serve as the new emissary to Europe, Megistos as emissary to Canada, Dokansia as emissary to Thaecia, and Astrobolt as emissary to the International Democratic Union.
~December’s
Featured Nation is Megistos, who, besides being a frequent roleplayer, has also joined the Card Co-op and been appointed as emissary to Canada. Congrats Megistos, we’re excited to see where the future takes you!~Islanders took a trip to the Wintreath forum to play a very intense game of Lord of the Rings-themed
Werewolf. Members from both regions worked hard to hunt down Sauron’s forces (the wolves) and translate between the playing styles of each region. In the end, the Fellowship (the town), after plenty of arguments and a few false lynches, managed to deduce the wolves’ identities and secure victory. XKI looks forward to hosting Wintreath for another game of WW next month!~The holiday season brought plenty of festivities to XKI, with the Cultural Office planning a
variety of events throughout the month. Islanders traded presents in a Secret Santa Exchange, anonymously gifting music playlists, drawings, and pictures of cute Christmas animals. The Cultural Office also hosted two Game Sundays, with round of Among Us, Skribble.io, and Uno. Thedairos invited Islanders to participate in a XKI Kahoot, offering several valuable cards to those with the most knowledge about 10000 Islands. With plenty of fun festivities, XKI spent a delightful holiday season together.~Chief Executive Markanite also got Islanders into the gift-giving mood by setting up the
Rudolph’s Presents function on the forum. Islanders were able to collect gift tokens by posting of the forum, then send other nation’s all sorts of delightful gifts, picking from a wide range of animal, food, and other emojis. On Christmas Day, receiving Islanders could open up their gifts and enjoy the appreciation (and humor) shown by their friends.~As the year approached it’s end, Islanders realized they were still miles away from success in the forums
Count to 2021 before 2021 thread. Islanders old and new stepped up to the task and spammed like never before to reach the 2021 goal before the end of the year. On December 31st, Islanders pushed for the finish line with over 200 posts, with Echolilia bringing XKI home with the final 2021 post!~Dokansia took his first foray into issue authorship with his draft
Baptism of Liars, about the fallout of religious scams. Dok isn’t the only aspiring issue author though, as Wille-Harlia is also hard at work with his draft Congressional Non-Concession. Best of luck to the both of them in getting their issues published, and in their future issue writing endeavors!~Several of the region’s newer members proved themselves to be promising issue players by gathering up their first few top 1% stats. Belize and honduras achieved their first 1% badge early in the month, with the second one not far behind. Meanwhile Porymonia managed to achieve their third 1% badge Although they still have a long way to go before they reach the level of NS’s top issue players, these Islander’s dedication to their stats is already proving to be impressive. Their stat rankings are sure to improve as they continue to play.
~One of XKI’s longest members and a top issue player The Soylent Green Party reached an impressive population milestone in December. Reaching a population of 20 billion, The Soylent Green Party shows their impressive long-term dedication to the game. Such a high population count is the result of years of work. We cannot thank them enough for choosing XKI as their home.
A regional poll by Jabberwocky asked Islanders which RL national figure had the best hair. Islanders showed their appreciation for Justin Trudeeau’s swoopy brown locks by a wide majority of votes.
The RMB was in an understandably festive mood for the holiday season:
~Liminal Spaces
~Very logical stats
~The very essence of the RMB
~A little endo love
~Not on the regional poll to be sure
~A true Christmas fan
~Step 1: Imprisonment, Step 2: Shut Down, Step 3: Profit
~It’s not a region, it’s a lifestyle
~Viva la Revolución!
Grea Kriopia is an important member of XKI, having served as Senator for Blue Canaria North and Cultural Officer, and now finding her place as Minister of Education and a TITO Tactical Officer. We managed to track GK down between updates to ask a few interview question.
Wischland: With the year approaching its end, let’s take a look back. What’s been your favorite aspect or memory of this past year in XKI?
Grea Kriopia: Oh goodness, I've only been around since January so this past year has been everything for me. If we're going with favorite memories, I would say hosting the XKI Summer Olympics and then growing into my past work as Cultural Officer. I really enjoyed reviving more casual events like our weekly Movie Nights and spending time with our community. My favorite aspect has undoubtedly been the variety of work I've taken on over the last year–every day is something new and different.
Wisch: You sure have taken on a variety of work! With two different Council of Nine positions, Cultural Officer, and TITO Command under your belt, your rise in the region has been meteoric. What would you say contributed to your success in achieving such important roles so quickly?
GK: Is too much time on my hands a valid answer? In all seriousness, I can't say there's one specific reason for everything I've achieved up until now. I simply try to make myself as helpful as possible, do solid work, and not settle for anything less. I genuinely enjoy 99% of everything I do as well, so I'm sure that helps somehow!
Wisch: Let's take a closer look at your current position as Minister of Education. What do you do in this role?
GK: Generally speaking, the MoE is all about education/record keeping (obviously) and regional retention. My primary responsibilities are maintaining our Great Library with its various historical records and managing our Welcome Buddies as they guide new nations in our region. Naturally, this also allows some flexibility for pet projects and new ideas.
Wisch: Could you explain the Welcome Buddies program in more detail? What's the procedure you direct the Buddies to follow?
GK: Our Welcome Buddies are essentially tour guides for new nations when they arrive in XKI after being recruited. Buddies personally telegram new arrivals with helpful tips and starting information that many might not find right away. They also serve to answer starting questions which newer nations might not know how to answer. Each buddy does things differently, but all are meant to help new nations feel noticed and connected to our community.
Wisch: And what sort of advice would you give to such a new nation looking to get involved?
GK: Take your time to look around! Joining NS is an extremely steep learning curve with an overwhelming amount of information to ingest all at once. There's an endless amount of ways to get involved, so take the time to explore areas you didn't look at initially and find the opportunities you want for yourself. And, of course, don't be afraid to put yourself out there when looking for ways to help.
Wisch: Looking forward into the next year, what path do you see for XKI in the future?
GK: Well, nothing is set in stone, but I think this coming year will hold even more outreach and regional cooperation along with new regional improvements. A few large events already come to mind looming on the horizon of 2021, and I have no doubt we'll continue to push much of the hard work begun this year even further.
Wisch: Sounds exciting! And do you have any personal plans? Should we expect you to take on any new positions this coming year?
GK: No plans in terms of positions, I really like what I'm doing right now and would like to keep it up for a longer period of time unless something changes drastically. Otherwise, I know I'll have my hands in some fun festivals and events this upcoming year, maybe I'll try to branch out into some new hobbies. Then again, I always say that before taking on more usual work :P
Wisch Well, whatever you do, I’m sure it’ll turn out great. Any final comments you’d like to make?
GK: Thanks, I appreciate the confidence! Have a great New Year everyone and stay healthy~

Upon hearing what happened in DC today I was really concerned that it might turn into a small skirmish between the Presidents supporters and the Police and or National Guard.
Already is. Got one dead.
This is what happens when a bunch of corrupt officials and judges steal an election from 74 million plus voters. It stands to reason that more than a few of them are going to take that theft personally.
I just saw that but i was meaning like prolonged gun fights for a sec i thought we might be at the head end of a Civil War.
Probably not. But eventually it will get pushed that far.
Probably when the new communist regime tries to come for our guns.
a thought I had: If people were as aggressive at the area 51 "raid" as they were at the capitol yesterday, would they have successfully broken into Area 51?
ROFL...
No. The people guarding that installation have far different rules of engagement.
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas!

National Bobblehead Day
If you find it tough to take bobbleheads seriously, you’re not alone. But perhaps you should. And National Bobblehead Day on January 7 now is a chance to recognize the fun behind these dolls—and admit you like them without feeling self-conscious about it. Although these goofy dolls have become popular in the past couple of decades, bobbleheads have been around for the past few centuries. We bet you there’s a bobblehead version of any famous person you can think of: presidents, sports figures, Supreme Court justices, and the Beatles all have their own bobbleheads. Clearly, National Bobblehead Day is a great idea. And if you don’t believe us, just ask the world’s population of millions of bobbleheads. They’re sure to be nodding in agreement.
NATIONAL BOBBLEHEAD DAY TIMELINE
1700s
First Record of Bobbleheads
Called "temple nodders," the earliest known bobbleheads are modeled after Buddha and other religious figures.
1760s
Bobbleheads Make Their Way West
Made from ceramics, bobbleheads are imported to Europe from China in the 1760s.
1920s
The First Sports Bobbleheads
The first sports bobblehead made features a generic basketball player.
1964
The Beatles Bobbleheads
As one of the first sets of human bobbleheads that aren't athletes, the Fab Four pioneer the U.S.'s pop culture bobblehead explosion.
1999
Bringing Bobbleheads Back
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Candlestick Park, the San Francisco Giants give 20,000 visitors a Willie Mays bobblehead, bringing bobbleheads back in style after interest waned in the 1970s.
2015
National Bobblehead Day
The first ever National Bobblehead Day is celebrated.
2015
Turning Heads
One of two surviving bobbleheads of the 1961-1962 New York Yankees team is auctioned for almost $60,000.
NATIONAL BOBBLEHEAD DAY ACTIVITIES
Visit the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum
The National Bobblehead Museum is still in the planning stages, but you can visit its website and learn more about the history of bobbleheads. You can also see the growing list of bobblehead dolls that have been given away in recent years. Eventually, the museum expects to have a physical presence in Milwaukee. There’s been no official word yet on whether the roof will bounce up and down, though.
See how many heads you can bobble simultaneously
Bobblehead dolls are supposed to be fun, right? So line up a few dozen bobbleheads and see if you can get all of their heads bouncing at the same time. Who knows? Maybe the Guinness Book of World Records will have a new entry when you’re finished.
Visit a sports stadium on bobblehead giveaway day
Nearly every professional sports team, from the major leagues to the minors, offers a bobblehead giveaway day at some point. Purchase some tickets and receive your free gift! Just be sure to get there early. Such giveaways usually have a limited number, and because some people have been known to take their bobblehead collections pretty seriously, you don’t want to be fighting a cutthroat collector for one of the last bobbleheads in the box.
WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL BOBBLEHEAD DAY
They’re sure to make you smile
Bobblehead dolls are designed to be goofy looking, so they’re great for taking a break during a tough day. It’s impossible to look at a bobblehead and not crack a smile. Keeping a bobblehead on your desk is a surefire way to help yourself feel better and relieve some stress.
They're a great addition to any kind of collection
You don’t have to be a bobblehead collector to enjoy these dolls. If you collect items related to a specific sports team, for example, add a few bobbleheads to your collection, and they’ll fit right in with the other items. If you collect super hero figures, bobbleheads give you quite a few options to round out your collection.
They can be really valuable
We wouldn’t recommend spending your retirement plan on your bobblehead collection, but there are some figure out there that have some value. This can be a fun item to collect that also will potentially pay off in appreciation value over the long haul… if you can bring yourself to sell your favorites down the road.

***** Texas Saturday Breakfast *****
New Year, New Taco! All fresh, all new! Saturday Breakfast In Place time! Bring out the Drones! The NewTexas Happy Taco Stands, in conjunction with the NewTexas Incendiary Corporation, has approximately 1 trillion of the fastest, lightest drones you have ever seen. This fleet is specially designed to deliver tacos to every man, woman, child, whatever, in Texas, all 2,452,819,000,000 of you.
For your dining pleasure, today's special breakfast will Saturday Lengua de Res con Huevos Tacos [COVID-19 Week XLII Edition]! We return to the traditional taco menu today with a classic. The Head Griller of Taco Town gets the day off, but the Big Tex Abuelas y Abuelitas have been up all night boiling and peeling cow tongues! Yep, millions of them! Once, that task is complete, they are sliced up, dipped in flour and egg, and fried until golden brown in giant, black, cast-iron skillets. Thye then gently dice up the nuggets of goodness and toss them in with expertly scrambled genuine Texas Grade AA Brown Eggs. Once the marriage is made between the two, they are served up in a fresh homemade corn tortilla made just for you. Remember, a whole egg in every taco!®
Today's Special Salsa is once again, the old standby and friend of every tongue, yours or the cow's - Queso - good and chunky queso made with serranos for a little heat. The tacos are hermetically-sealed in a Stay-Warm® pouch that is wrapped in the same ol' aluminum foil we are all so familiar with for our breakfast taco. The Juice Bar will not be possible this week. But, for your beverage needs, a packet of Sanka, Tang and a Lipton Tea bag will be included with every delivery as well as salt and pepper and a napkin. Yes, it is different, but it works and you do not even have to leave your residence. Woo! And, watch out for the drones! Start your day off the right way; munch out and go back to sleep. You know you want to!®
Stay Safe Texas. Stay Well.
***** Texas Chat Reminder *****
The Texas Weekly Chat Session will be Saturday (TODAY) at High Noon Texas Time (CDT) ***Saturday***. And, if you can't be there right at Noon, that is Ok, Texas Chat usually runs 3, 4, 5 hours with some Chats running as high as 7 or 8 hours.
The Texas Chat Site is here: http://texasregion.net/blab70/login.php
Please register with your nation name. This is a great opportunity for nations old and new to Texas to find out what is going on! We chat, we debate, we talk about the weather, we talk about stuff we like, stuff we hate, random stuff, and more stuff. But, it is never stuffy. Usually, it is about meeting your fellow Texans and talking about the latest and most interesting stuff in NationStates at the moment. But then again, sometimes NationStates does not even come up. It is wide-open chatting with peeps from around The World both IRL and NS. It is Texans, EuroTexans, WannabeTexans, ex-Texans, VirtualTexans, and plenty of Friends of Texans. We have it all and all are welcome. Texas Chat, 820 weeks and running! For the math-challenged, that is over 16¼ years! Check it out! Good stuff!
Somebody tossed out that Katie Couric is going to be an interim host as well. Maybe they are trying to fulfill Alex's desire that he be replaced by a woman.
Kyletana and Talitha macer
I would rather they find the best person for the job instead of trying to be woke as a lot of people on the internet say these days.
Issues Test Bed, Kyletana, and Talitha macer
Possibly. At the same time though I don't know if picking a news reporter is a good idea right now given how... politicized the news seems to be.
WooHootie! Snow in Texas!
