The Gorii Incident: 49 Years Later

The Zima household, taken in 1971, 2
years before its disappearance.

The Gorii Incident, a mind-boggling event that occurred just outside of Gorii beside the Vuoksi River, had recently been brought back into view after Sara Zima's skeletal remains had been found. Sara, the mother of the family, had been found just a kilometre outside Kozlovo, a village west of Gorii. The home of the family, along with government records of its existence (as well as the family's records), had supposedly disappeared 2 days before notice. A search team had recently been sent to survey the area near both villages in hopes of finding the 4 other victims' remains. Read More

It depicts three people hugging, representing remorse and love for the injured and passed. Read More

Kuuntäytär’s immigration policy grows tighter as refugees escape to border.

The devastating Russo-Ukrainian war has displaced millions. As the Ukrainian forces begin to make a comeback, many Russian citizens have fled the border, bringing refugees to Noristoniaka’s border. Parties stand divided as they question the antics of Minister of Immigration, Anita Kuuntäytär. Read More

Economy set to fail as administration forces restrictions.

In the past few months, the national economic output had seen steep declines as reported by the Bureau of Commercialism, which has thought to be traced to the strict enforcement of laws affecting most industries, including agriculture, mining, and timber. Conservative groups had recently been rallying to heavily loosen these restrictions, causing stir among folk religious members, who are protected by these regulations. Read More

Yes, thank you and thank you for being a good opponent.

Now, time for the December elections, which will hopefully propel me back into commission. Hopefully this December election will be uneventful....

Hello friends!

Forest's eighth 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:

2023 Ninth Annual Forest Photo Contest - Entries Open!

.

Forest Photo Contest 2023

.

It's been an important year for Forest. After a prolonged period of founderlessness, the introduction of strongholds allowed us to regain stability in the form of a Governor (and a new WA delegate as well). In the past year, we've moved into a new chapter of our history, and even as we will inevitably continue to confront challenges, the lively discussions on the RMB attest to the fact that our Forest remains as verdant as ever -- constantly evolving and, simultaneously, continuing to maintain the values and traditions that we have held for 16 years and counting.

One of those traditions -- admittedly not quite 16 years old, but still well up there -- is our annual Photo Contest. Started in 2015 by then-Culture Minister Frieden-und Freudenland, it gives us the chance to mark the end of each year and reflect back on it for at least a moment before diving into the next one. Whether you've participated for all the iterations, or this is your first time -- and whether you're a Forestian denizen or a friend from one of our embassies -- we invite you to join in: it's time for the ninth annual Forest Photo Contest!

Here's what you need to know:

🌲 We have four categories once again this year:

Trees (this category is permanent each year)
Colour (photos that highlight, draw attention to, or hinge on colour(s) and hues)
Sky (astrophotography, clouds and weather, birds flying... anything that happens in the great above)
Geometry in Nature (photos presenting the patterns, structures, arrangements, and regularities of the natural world, broadly conceived)

🌲 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 Link here. You may also submit photos via a link to an image hosting site (we like Link Imgur) in a telegram to Mount Seymour or via Discord to @somyrion.

🌲 The photos must be taken by you, but can be taken at any time (not just during the contest).

🌲 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 December 3 at 05:00 GMT (12:00am Dec 3 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 2024!

🌲 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, on our World Factbook Entry, and potentially in our next foreign update. A banner will also (hopefully) 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!

Any questions about the Contest should be directed to Mount Seymour.

Forest Photo Contest 2022

.

The year is drawing to a close, and soon we'll be entering 2023. That means 2019 will be four years ago. NationStates has now lasted more than two decades, quite an impressive feat for an author's hacked-together text-based brower game on the margins of the internet. It's all a little hard to process. And worst of all, time doesn't stop to wait for you to process it! Just when you feel comfortable writing '22' in your dates, you have to switch it up again. Here in Forest, though, we have a bit of a tradition to mark the end of each year, and hopefully give everyone a chance to reflect back on it for at least a moment before diving into the next one. Whether you've participated for all the iterations, or this is your first time, we invite you to join in: it's time for the eighth annual Photo Contest!

Here's what you need to know:

🌲 We have four categories once again this year:

Trees (this category is permanent each year)
Motion (photos portraying movement, action, and dynamicity)
Sunrise/Sunset (for all your dawns and dusks)
Humans in Nature (photos presenting human signs or objects set within the vastness of nature: how human presence is subsumed by, blends into, or imitates into the natural world)

🌲 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 Link here. You may also submit photos via a link to an image hosting site in a telegram to Mount Seymour.

🌲 The photos must be taken by you, but can be taken at any time (not just during the contest).

🌲 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 December 1 at 09:00 GMT (4:00am Dec 1 EST) to December 23rd December 31st at 23:59 GMT.
Voting will begin on December 24th January 1st at 23:59 GMT and end December 31st January 6th at 23:59 GMT.

🌲 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, on our World Factbook Entry, and potentially in our next foreign update. A banner will also (hopefully) 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.
