Hello! I’m a new member who just joined. I just wanted to introduce myself, that way you at least know who I am when I actually ask questions and fully participate in the forum. The last one I was in had a whole other website, and I just didn’t want to do that, so here I am! Hello, and thank you for reading
Wintermoot, Fwifwo, and Dolcemare
Welcome, Republic of Skaleez!
What is your favorite pie? Please note this is Round 1.
In honor of Pi Day.

My automobile industry is slowly falling and It's the best thing I have, I also wanna focus on Improving environment Into habitable conditions, Any tips?
I’ve been here a few times
What do you think of my modified German Empire flag?
what is the symbol in the middle?
Hey, Wintreath! I hope everyone had a great weekend...I spent mine IRL rearranging my bedroom and decluttering. I guess you could call it spring cleaning lol. :) Also played some Stellaris since I've finally caught up on all the DLC for it!
We've had some new nations join us over the weekend! Welcome to Repubblica socialpopolare italiana, 
Welchshire, 
Flotran, 
Skaleez, 
Peregrini Optimisti, 
Florencea1, The most averagestest (I don't think I've ever seen a nation aim for that before!), Wolfford, 
-02, and Sounni. Wow, that's a lot! If you feel comfortable, feel free to post here, introduce yourself, and let us know what made you decide to join in with us. We'd love to hear from you. :)
Hey! It's good to see you around. How are you liking things so far?
Hey there, and welcome again! Wintreath has a website/forum and Discord as well, but those are optional to use. We have plenty of people who just vibe here on the region page. :)
It looks like your image URLs aren't actual image links, so NS uses a placeholder so the ugly no image frame doesn't show up. For your image host, go to the image page (for example, https://imgbb.host/R4aB), then go down to the BBCode option and hit the copy button beside it. Then use that URL in your img tags instead. Let me know if you need help with that. :)
It all goes back to how you answer issues...since you only get a handful a day, progress will be slow. You'll also have some setbacks...this is a political sim parody, so sometimes the answers you pick won't have the result you imagine it will. In general, when possible select answers that emphasis the environment over other areas like business.
I too am curious what the symbol is. It looks like half a symbol, actually
We have for a few years, but it's understandable that it's not well-known. Wintreath isn't the most active in foreign affairs these days...either way, welcome to our RMB. :)
Go to wintreath.com/forums, then click the Register button and follow the directions on the page. Afterwards, go to the page I linked to before, hit the post button, and type in your Minecraft username.

I used to have a alt in RGBN and I’m pretty sure I’ve posted here before
RGBN is a cool region! Though I often have no clue what's being said on their Discord...goes right over my head lol
OOC: it's my first time back in a long time, most y'all don't know me but hello!
IC: -Outer Core of the Andromeda Galaxy, 245 years after Aiden Allo's arrival and discovery of Allouxia-
Many moons ago, a team of scientists and researchers on the Earth's Moon discovered a relic of unknown origin, the discovery of which was hidden by the governments of earth until its purpose and reason for existence could be discovered, communication with the research team on the moon ceased one day and a search team was sent to the moon to find out why communication ended. The relic, now named the hyper gate was in ruins, a single note left. "Humanity is doomed, through us it will survive"
In an instant, 200 researchers were gone, but countless of light years away in a distant galaxy the researchers found themselves on a new world, similar to the one they had left behind, before centuries of pollution and man made catastrophes had poisoned and rotted their former home. Aiden Allo during his time on the moon had become obsessed with the relic now known by the group as the Hyper Gate, a point instantaneous travel was possible between Earth's Moon and this new world the researchers found themselves in. For years Dr. Allo spent countless hours trying to crack the secret of it's functionality until he was atlast given insight one fateful day, which the others initially precieved as madness, such knowledge would drive anyone else insane in mere moments but Dr. Allo persevered. He rallied and convinced his fellow researchers that Earth and it's people are doomed, but though themselves they can travel to the other side of the Hyper Gate and restart Humanity anew, free of Earth's governments, religions, and constructions, and so the researchers agreed bringing them to the new world now names Allouxia, in honor of Dr.Allo.
In a few centuries, the Allouxians had manage to fully colonize the planet and built themselves a civilization that made a mockery of the ones their ancestors had left behind. Dr. Allo's knowledge of the ones who originally built the Hyper Gate was passed down to his descendents as the centuries went on. The Founding, as the Allouxians had come to know it, saw them address the immediate issue, the limited gene pool. To correct this, Dr. Allo and a handful of researchers had looked further into genetic engineering, expanding the gene pool while also removing undesired genes that could have plagued the next generations. A few alterations here and there created entirely diffent people from their originals hosts. Their offspring created humans stronger, taller, and a greater capacity for holding knowledge. Many were skeptical of this practice but soon fell in line seeing it was the only way to ensure the survival of the Allouxian people.
One century after the formation of Allouxia, two political parties had arrisen, the Isolationist, and the Reunificationists. The Isolationist advocated for Allouxia to maintain its solitude from Old Humanity, the ones they had left behind, who's ideologies and greed had brought the Earth to the state it was in. The Reunificationists, however wished for Allouxia to re build the Hyper Gate and help Earth rebuild from its current state, or the state in which they had originally left it in. They felt the technology they had developed were meant to be shared, not hidden. For decades the two sides were at odds with one another, however, the Autarch's strong hand maintained the peace, Allouxians blood was never spilled by their own hand, that is until Autarch Aurellus Allo took the throne.
-Vyra, Allouxian Capital-
The differences between the Isolationist and Reunificationists was reaching a boiling point, the Reunificationists threatened secession. Something Autarch Aurellus feared would damn Allouxia to the same fate suffered by Earth and inevitably would fall upon Allouxia. Autarch Aurellus summoned the leaders of the Reunificationists to the imperial palace to allow them to set the terms for them to remain part of the Empire. Little did they know this would not be the case, having gathered his enemies in one room, Autarch Aurellus's Imperial Guard slaughtered the politicians, and once given the command, the Imperial Guard marched on the Reunificationist's headquarters burning it to the ground, executing or arresting all members of the political party. Branded as traitors to Allouxia, there would be no mercy for them. The Night Of Embers would ensure Allouxia's complete detachment from Old Humanity would be finally complete.
I searched the word "Ceiling" for fun in tennessine flag designer, and no, that's the full thing
Good morning, Wintreath! xD Today is the last day of the Capitalist/Communist poll, and Capitalism continues to win by a huge margin. A bit surprising, but I guess we all love making money...especially when it's more money and not less money. :P
On the World Assembly side, Statistical Data Practice has just come up to vote. Does anyone have any thoughts on that one? Does anyone even care about General Assembly resolutions? I know I struggle too lol.
We have some new and returning nations today, too! Welcome to 
Southwest lox, Deezican 3, 
Sillolis, 
Seethesail, 
China of Yerrey, Deeprest, and 
Korf, and welcome back to Allouxia and 
Ponderosa (who has been here on another nation the whole time but I didn't want to leave any nations out)! I'm glad you joined up with us, and hope Wintreath will end up being everything you want in your NationStates home. If you feel comfortable, feel free to introduce yourself...we'd love to hear from you. If you have any questions or need help settling in, we're here for you too. =]
Hey, and welcome back again! It's been a long time since I've seen a significant RP post in Wintreath...hopefully with the wave of new nations coming in that's something that will return soon. :)
Huh...well, it stands out so that's a good thing about it :)
Check my alt, 
Aeiling it has the same symbol

All the latest news from 10000 Islands: Feb - March 2024
by Chelsea Boots
Republic of Pantso
Office of Senator for Blue Canaria North
10,000 Islands is governed by the Council of Nine, made up of a Chief Executive, an elected Delegate and four elected Senators, and three appointed Ministers. The Council votes on legislation, embassy openings and closures, and other matters as required by the Chief Executive.
Discussions over most legislation take place in the 
Non-Secure Chamber.

Sick Vermonter Saddled With Extra Work While Big Boss Retires to Tropical Paradise
Chief Executive Markanite, in a stunning abuse of power, has taken it upon himself to force Lenlyvit to take up his entire portfolio as Chief Executive. Lenlyvit’s additional responsibilities come just as he begins recovering from a severe cold while trapped in the frozen wilderness of Vermont. In the meantime, Markanite will be retiring to the balmy frontier A Taco Paradise, removing Lenlyvit from the coveted post and evicting him from the Governor’s Mansion there.
Markanite has attempted to justify this astounding act of open corruption by citing the Constitution of 10,000 Islands, which reads “The Chief Executive authority of 10000 Islands shall be vested in the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive shall hold Office for life, and shall be responsible for the conferral of the Chief Executive’s authority to a successor of the Chief Executive’s sole choosing.” Markanite has creatively interpreted this passage to mean that he, as Chief Executive, has the power to name his successor, and that his successor will take the Chief Executive post as Markanite steps down..
Taco Island lawyers we spoke to were inclined to disagree. One, under the condition of anonymity said, “I’ll say anything you want me to if you give me enough Tacos. So, no, Markanite clearly doesn’t have the authority to do . . . whatever you just said. Now I’ll take three soft tacos, one beef, one veggie, and one fish, with salsa and sour cream.” Some people have said that Lenlyvit has been pressured by Markanite’s supporters through encouragement, high-five emojis, well-wishing, and generally being solicitous and helpful. Are these offers genuine? Or a clear and unconscionable act of manipulation on the part of Markanite’s duplicitous and hypocritical followers? Only time will tell.
In all seriousness, Markanite has stepped down from his role as Chief Executive. His Successor, Lenlyvit, will take his place while Markanite takes the lead at A Taco Paradise. Markanite’s full statement is available on the 10,000 Islands Proboards forum here. Please join me in thanking Markanite for his long service to the Islands and in welcoming our new Chief Executive Lenlyvit.
In the wake of Markanite’s departure to A Taco Paradise and Lenlyvit’s succession there are now three Senate seats up for election this month, as well as the Delegacy. Astrobolt, AxeCapital, and Keswickholt have all announced their intention to defend their positions, However, there is a race for the empty New Republica South seat between Wazeww and The World Defense Organization. Both are newcomers to the political scene at XKI and both appear to have grand plans to revitalize debate culture in the Islands. Read more about it in The Breaking Wave - Election Edition!
Cultural Officer Aquachromia, hired just last month, has been hard at work hosting several events for Islanders. This month they are putting on a month-long Music March Madness event featuring games, music-themed movies, and a music submission contest with generous Taco rewards provided through the Ministry of Culture. We had a chance to “sit down” with Aquachromia on Discord to ask a few questions. The following transcript has been edited for clarity and to avoid shaming our keyboarding instructors:
Pantso: Hey, I'm starting to work on the next issue of the Wave and I'm planning on doing a bit about the recent cultural events and the Music March Madness event. Do you mind answering a few questions for the article?
Acquachromia: Sure!
Pantso: Great! What inspired you to take on the role of cultural officer?
Acquachromia: I noticed how my friend Venvee Republic had his own job in the 10,000 Islands, so I wanted to involve myself too and become active in the community!
Pantso: Are you friends outside NationStates? Did the two of you join together, or did one of you recruit the other?
Acquachromia: We're friends outside Nation States, I introduced Venvee to NS about 2 or 3 years ago I believe.
Pantso: And then they got a job, and you got jealous about all their great Tacos, and you decided to get one too 🙂
Acquachromia: lol, nah just wanted to be involved
Pantso: So far you've hosted a movie night where we saw Migration, and a flag contest, and now we're entering the Music March Madness where there will be an event every weekend. What other kinds of events are you considering?
Acquachromia: We'll have a gaming night, and a photo contest, not sure what else after March!
Pantso: What, if any, would you say is your overall goal or mission as Cultural Officer? (I will double check the actual title; I can never remember) (Editor’s Note: It is Cultural Officer; the Cultural Office Assistant role was retired)
Acquachromia: I think there's assistant in that title
I think my goal is to make the community of 10,000 Islands more connected, and allow XKI to become an even more friendly and welcoming place!
Pantso: That sounds great! Seems like you're off to a great start, with an event planned every weekend for six weeks running so far. You've set quite a pace for yourself.
Is there anything else you'd like to say for the article? It will be sent out to Islanders, Paradisers, and our friends and allies in other regions.
Acquachromia: If there's anything you can learn from me it's get involved! You never know what you could find if you involve yourself in your regions, or really anything in life!
Nations interested in participating in Music March Madness should check out this dispatch:

The War on Terror continues, with the anti-terrorist factions recruiting more nations into the fight and gradually pushing back on the terrorist organizations. Al-Caeda in particular has lost a great deal of territory to Macrasetia’s Anti-Terrorist Coalition of Defense while ACOD’s newer members claim the recaptured land for themselves.
In the meantime, New Sahulland, Chair Co, South Adria, and Pantso have been working to protect the monarchy in New Sahulland after an unsuccessful assassination attempt.
Nations in 10000 Islands or A Taco Paradise interested in joining the conflict should check out these dispatches about the Green Sky Terror event and RP on A Taco Archipelago. Hope to see you there!

This new segment of The Breaking Wave will feature the beloved pets of the 10000 Islands and A Taco Paradise. This month features [nation]Newlandiquia[/region]’s Pinscher “Doguinho”, or “Dogue” for short. Dogue enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, lifting his rear up to the sun, and has an April Fool’s birthday. The five-year old pupper was picked up from a farm and, while a photo was unavailable, we can’t help but imagine an adorable Pinscher frolicking in a sunny field with his best girlfriend.

How many nations do you have in NationStates?
Hey Wintreath! After the smashing success of the Capitalist/Communist poll (especially for Capitalism, which won 43-17 $$$$$), we have a new poll! How many nations do you have in the game? You can make do with one, but many people have more for card farming, raiding/defending, minigames, and other reasons. Let us know what category you fall in, and if you'd like to tell us more about why you have the number of nations that you do feel free to do so right here. :)
Welcome, weary travelers!
We've also had some new nations join up since my last post! Welcome to 
Fornicans, 
Arconi, 
Solondia, and Sarblzing city! I'm glad you joined us! If you feel comfortable and you haven't already done so, please take a moment to introduce yourself on here and let us know what made you decide to join Wintreath. Or if you have any questions or need help settling in, please let us know here too. We'd love to hear from you. :)
Quotes
Hello, and welcome again! :D
So I see...it's a good flag on both nations, though I see it's black and white now (which I think looks good too). :P
You did more than I did. I just waited to see where most nations in Wintreath were going and joined with them. The General Assembly is kinda boring to me, but I know some people are passionate about it.
Now that I've skimmed through it, it does seem vague and mostly sets up more bureaucracy through this PDAA. It reads more like a solution in search of a problem.
That is a good question. I think it could benefit a host city/country, but I think it often doesn't. They end up being hosted in cities that don't have the infrastructure for them, so they have to build a bunch of stuff that usually ends up setting abandoned after the games are over. It's a big money drain for questionable long-term benefit. Now if they were hosted in cities that required minimal improvements, that might be a different story, but as things are...
Hey there, it's been awhile. I take it this means you'd like to see more RP on here...any thoughts beyond that?
Welcome again! We're glad to have you! :D
How has the region been for you so far? :)
feels the wave break against the frozen shores of Wintreath
Thanks for the update, and congrats on your victory in the House Cup. With 22 recruits it sounds like you're a recruitment powerhouse. :P
