Well, who would have though Max would have lifted all the zombie border closings? I used to put a manual one on, before I even realized there was a zombie one, but then I had to go back and remember to get rid it. Just a bit of laziness on my part.

There were a lot of glitches I also had to reset the cure twice and everything was running slow and sometimes timing out. Makes you wonder why/how that region found us to invade.

We're famous, remember?

Here's the tally. Most of the travellers are in Big Belly Empire. if I missed anyone, let me know:

1. Most Survivors:
Top 1%: Kalmukia.
Top 5%: The Eternal Sightseer, Drifter, Ducks Looking For Grapes, Herby. 21 hot air balloon historians.
Top 10%: Euron, The Postman, Volkswagen microbuses.

Most Dead:
Top 1%: More Migrating Geese, Where Is My Passport.
Top 5%: Tao the wanderer, Migrating Geese.
Top 10%: Stone Circle Aviators.

Most zombies:
Top 1%: Orehaj, Tao.
Top 5%: Lac Valley, SkodaTruck Drivers.

Hope everyone made as best as possible.

Top 1% ! Not bad, considering I have done absolutely nothing to deserve it.

And that's what makes it all worthwhile!

Still got the numerals to go.

Not surprising as this is the first years i didn't participate in the Zombie event.

Maybe we should go crazy next year and embrace the zombies!

That would be a big change of pace, completely going against everything I've stood for in past events across all of my nations.
I'm game.

There are 15 nations here. Everybody must be limiting their travel because of Covid.

That would lighten the load for me in other areas, hold that thought

Covid is one of the new words of the year adopted by the Oxford English dictionary.

No kidding. What a world.

So the geese were banned again, probably for flying airspace, from Cyrancorpian Free Market Organization by Orbouria. Orbouria must either be a newbie or be deranged.

Alright, I've taken a few hours to update the Travelling Balloonists dispatch. Will have a poll up for a Guild nominee in a few moments, and I just added a couple of disgraced regions to the blacklist:

Merry Christmas to all, have a good day and stay safe in the new year

🎄 Merry Christmas from your old friends of Eurth.

We were very happy to have you visit this past July.

Published July 2020

In the first week of July, our region received a surprise visit from the Travelling Region. When I say "surprise", it was actually only a surprise for us. Because for the travellers, Eurth was on their planned itinerary for visiting all regions from Z to A to 0 (zero). Their efforts were recognised by the World Assembly in Security Council Resolution #186 Commending the Travelling Region. First to arrive was a flock of Migrating Geese. After pitching their tent and a wild night at the bar, we sat down with one of our guests for a friendly Q&A.


Members of the Travelling Region visit all NationStates regions from Z to A to 0 (zero).

Orioni — Honk honk and a quackity quacking day to you. Please help us get to know you. Can you tell us something about yourself?

Migrating Geese — I can tell you about the geese, but not about my personal self. Actually, the geese is not my first nation. I've been in NS for over 16 years. I am female, which I think makes me a minority.

What inspired you to visit all NationStates regions from Z to A?

One of my first nations was Happy wanderers. It ceased to exist way back in 2008. I used it to travel randomly. It was such fun that I created the Migrating Geese to continue my travels. But doing the same sort of random traveling seemed too redundant. So I figured since actual geese migrated south, we'd go from Z to A.

What has the experience been like so far in other regions you have travelled to and from?

We have a forum which has some of our experiences on it: Linktravellingregion.proboards.com One thing I hate is to fly over a region and get banned for it. We keep a record now of those mishaps. I was a solo traveler until I reached the W's and hit Wyndia. That is when SkodaTruck Drivers joined me. We were a happy couple for a long time.

Along the way, we got a bunch of nations that wanted to come with us -- so many that some regions got nervous and thought they were being invaded. Now we have had to make very, very stringent Linkrequirements to join our group, which can be viewed in our forum.

Before the mods were aware of us, Skoda actually got nuked in The Kingdom of Burgundy for stopping in and wishing them a Merry Christmas. The Skoda traveling with us now is his puppet. Now the mods know that we're a traveling region and pretty much leave us alone.

How exciting! What about hospitality? Are players generally accepting of temporary guests?

Most regions are hospitable. Some know us from before. Some get a boost in membership and interest. I always TG the founder when we arrive to let him know who we are and ask him to notify me if we're not welcome so that we can move along. If you see our list of disgraced nations in our WFE in Travelling Region you can see that this doesn't always work.

There are several travellers and wanderers in NationStates. Have you run into any of them?

Yes! So many nations are out there sampling NS. Our home region often attracts them in between travels. One nation traveling with us now is an old solo migrant who decided to join us.

Are there any plans for creating a NationStates travel guide?

We hadn't thought about a travel guide. But we do keep a list in our home region of regions which have been above and beyond interesting and friendly.

Last question. Do you have any advice for other players who may be inspired by your travels?

My advice is simply to enjoy yourself. And stop in our home region to introduce yourself.

Thank you for your time. It's been a great pleasure to host this friendly flock of world-wise travellers here in Eurth. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. You are, of course, welcome to stay as long as you like. And feel free to re-visit at any moment. Please accept this artistic impression as a sign of our appreciation.

All the best and see you again in 2021!

Happy New Year everyone! This year the flock visited ~88 Regions, covering M through A in our reverse-alphabetic migration. 8 regions were added to the blacklist (they will remain unnamed) while only 2 were inducted into the Guild, Eurth and Arctic. Here's to a happy and healthy 2021! As we round out Migration 5 I hope we encounter many new, interesting, and welcoming regions.

Much love <3 I'll follow your advice and plan a personal visit to Arctic.

What happened to Tao the wanderer? Did I miss something?

I don't know, I haven't had contact with him but looking around he seemed upset one of his friends had been deleted?

^-^
Yup. That is what i was able to find out also, plus RL.
