It just kind of happened that way, honestly. When we were first trying to grow the NS-side community, a lot of the people who showed up (or, rather, the people who stuck around) happened to be lgbt. So now we have a large, though not exclusively, lgbt population. It's fun and it's become kind of a calling card point for the community.

Refuge Isle and I are pretty big environmentalists (we live in a temperate rainforest surrounded by old-growth forest) and care a lot about the environment, so when we were creating the region, it just made sense that that would be our focus. Given the general leftist slant and social-issue interests of a lot of the people who have come afterward, the environment is a massive overlap in interest for all of us.

That's something that unlocks at a certain population, though I don't remember exactly how much. Maybe 500 million?

Well, what would you like to do? We're a casual community, so if you just want to hang out in the RMB, Discord server, and forum to chat with us, that's entirely acceptable. We have RPs and spam games on the forum, we sometimes play games together as a group, and we're involved in a lot of things all around NS as a region here. We have a World Assembly presence (feel free to register for the WA and endorse people in the region, if you're interested!) where we discuss stuff here, we have a lot of the best card players in the game in the region, we do events and have elections and we even have a map! A big focus of Calamity Refuge (the community behind Refugia) is giving as many options as possible to our members, and having a place where everyone can help everyone else accomplish the things they're interested in doing.
