Tethys 13:

A long time hallmark of the community of Osiris, a riveting character and a pleasure to share a region with.
The kind of player I'm still in the game for.
- Malphe II

United Calanworie:

Great player, I know her through her puppet Astrellin and her founding of my home region, Sildoria.
- The Orwell Society

NewTexas:

For their sense of community, always displaying a good nature and good humor, and especially for their Saturday Breakfasts!

Hermes Express 123:

Honestly, he’s always been super nice and friendly to me. Not only that, but he gave me a ton of advice on how to play NationStates, and after I expressed that I didn’t really know a good region to stay in, he invited me to his.
- North Queensland

Bakivaland:

I'd like to nominate Bakivaland for the nice list, as they are a major contributor to International Incidents and F7.
- Cachard Calia

NinjitsUtopia:

Within a region
Alight with brilliant wordplay
Their light shines so bright

Lucklife:

Lucklife has been a great presence in our region. He is always giving us an amazing vibe and he looks after us. Not only that he is calm and collected whenever there is someone who is hostile, he never goes mad.
I want to put him on the list because he genuinely cares for us.
- Bendicion

Ruinenlust:

Their care for their region is apparent, and the warmth with which they engage with its members is really aspirational. A pillar to rely upon, and a model to be looked up to.

Valoptia:

For their generous nature :)
- Yuletide Yggdrasil

Southeast Marajarbia:

I would like to nominate Southeast Marajarbia for the nice list. Although they've had their rough times, ultimately, their good actions and good roleplaying have truly improved International Incidents.
- Bakivaland

Cretanja:

Hands down one of the most wholesome people I've ever interacted with, an absolute treasure of a person, been a long time since I've seen them be genuinely mean to someone. Really glad they're in several of the same communities I am.
- Wascoitan

Thick-Billed Longspur:

For seamlessly roleplaying as a non-speaking, Cthulhu-worshiping bird for over a year and never breaking character. Not once. Quite an accomplishment.

Zany Zanes | Drunkndisorderly | Zombie Penguins:

For keeping the lights on, the shelves stocked, the jukebox playing, and the poetry contest running for years at The Bar on the Corner of Every Region, and making it a fun place for customers to hang out--in spite of the annoyance of managing that damned janitorial staff every day. Salute!

Maple Hockey Canadia:

For being a good sport about the ongoing "We Hate Canadians" thing, even though ze's clearly Canadian (which ze refuses to admit, but we're on to hir).

UFROE / Lowe:

Lowe is one of my best friends in TCB and everyone in my TCB appreciates your constant hard work and effort. Thank you so much for everything!
- Ruben

Free-Reorganized-States:

The dude can be a pain sometimes, but we know he means well, even if his views are a bit odd at times. He's a great roleplayer, and a good guy, although sometimes he's a bit dramatic.
- Astarter

Courelli:

Courelli has been a fantastic, no-nonsense mentor to countless new players in The Social Liberal Union for years, while constantly putting himself forward to pick up responsibilities that go far and beyond any of his regional titles, from being the caretaker of the mult-regional NSLeft Discord server to coding bots, helping make flags for nations old and new to revitalizing countless regional wiki pages, ceaselessly providing thoughtful commentary on roleplay to taking care of the commended The Red Fleet while humbly turning down offers to be commended himself, he's a living, breathing example of the kind of player I wish there more of, and a wonderful friend besides.
- Toonela

Boratstans:

I would like to nominate Boratstans into the Nice List, as he has been a good friend to me and everyone in CK.
- Scorpia/Ruski

Nitropol

- From Culway

Indersdorf:

- From Boratstans / Tohi

Scorpia:

- From Boratstans / Tohi

Neutrality Foundation:

For continuing to undo everyone's destructive shenanigans with few complaints, and being patient and kind.
- Nekojin

Brocklandia:

Because I know nominating them will spoil their naughty list plans.

And because they manage to be fun-snarky and not offensive-snarky and have a sense of humor I find amusing. Their dedication to keeping up this region is also quite impressive, and their willingness to play along with the weirdness of other players makes them fun to have around. Gives me the impression they could be a character from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and yet for the most part seems "Mostly Harmless."
- Nekojin

Nekojin:

For poetry and kittens, and for (mostly) resisting the temptation to nominate naughty people to the Nice list.

Yuletide Yggdrasil:

Because no one gives the world tree enough respect or recognizes all the effort that goes into putting this list together, getting the word out, and keeping things updated for Santa.
[Editorial Note: Sent in by an anonymous player. It's not me, I swear I'm not nominating myself 😛]

Super Awesome Fun Times:

She keeps giving me her extra TCB cards, she bought me site supporter unprompted, and she's overall a very nice and wonderful person :)
- New Astri

Badiou:

Badiou has joined my Region and their contributions and enthusiasm has been nothing but beneficial.

I created a map of my own nation and placed Badiou north of my country, which prompted them to also create a map of their own country, thus furthering the expanse of our region nicely.
During this process Badiou and my nation began to develop a great deal of mutal respect and friendship.

The impact of Badiou has inspired me to write an article about them in a newsletter which my Region is creating.
They're one of the nicest nations I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with.
- Nitropol

Culway:

I can say the same about Culway [see above nomination of Badiou]. Although we do not always see eye-to-eye, Culway is open, friendly and kind in any situation.
Culway and I also have cooperated a great deal in our Region.
- Nitropol

Godular:

Godular is an amazing player all round. Thank you for helping me with my military, offering advice while still being polite about it, and responding to me like I was being reasonable when I still didn't understand exactly how to play on II. Thank you for everything!
- Cachard Calia

Andinla:

For a random act of kindness they showed me, as well as countless others, which happened to come at a timely moment.
- Panther

Polish Prussian Commonwealth:

They have a good vibe and they've improved II. Also, their signature has a funni scp reference
- Bakivaland

Non opresive German Empire:

For being an awesome person in our region and giving me their extra Legendary/Epic cards out of pure generosity!
- North Macaronesa

Free-Reorganized-States:

Despite having some controversial political views, for being generous and always being there to help when someone is in need! (Citation: He bought one of my cards so I could get extra bank)
- North Macaronesa

Norse Inuit Union:

For being an absolutely amazing person on the forums, especially in F7! They're super encouraging to new players, and brimming with compliments!
- North Macaronesa

Northern Wood:

For having a wonderful flag and well-brewed lore, and for always being thoughtful and polite and acting with humility.

Verdant Haven:

For their everlasting devotion to NationStates through a multitude of avenues. From the greatest endeavors to the smallest acts of kindness and generosity, VH can always be relied upon as a hardworking ally and a stand-up player.

Cuillin:

For always being kind, compassionate, and meditative on the Forest RMB. I admire the way that you frankly and carefully voice your thoughts on matters that are important to you without a hint of punditry or self-righteousness.

Zommo:

Reason: is my friend & long-time follower. I got trust in she.
- Hahqsthqstan

Emiline:

A very kind, polite, and fair administrator for the entire Augustin Alliance.
- Magna-Scientia

Socialist Platypus:

An amazing, friendly, helpful member of the Augustin Alliance's community, great person all round.
- Arstotskiano

The 21 Hot Air Balloonists:

This nation has for several years kept a running log of all the travels of the travellers of Travelling Region. Also this nation keeps our own "naughty or nice" list of regions.
- Migrating Geese

Skoda-Truck Drivers:

After being nuked for wishing The Kingdom of Burgundy a merry Christmas, he refounded that same region and invites everyone to post Christmas greetings.
