Good evening people from Yggdrasil. I have a question: is there a way to know when I started playing NS?
I am wondering when I begun this adventure, I think it was during my 4th year of University
Your nation was founded on 3/14/2017.

You must be some kind of wizard. Thank you

A new month means a new Forester environmental agenda. If you are interested, it can be found below. Please remember that these are merely suggestions and bits of information! If you do not wish to participate,Forester black ops will not throw you in Tree Gulag! If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to TG my main (Turbeaux)!
“A 2018 study by researchers at the University of Oxford showed that producing a glass of dairy milk results in almost three times more greenhouse gas emissions than any plant-based milk and it consumes nine times more land than any of the milk alternatives. (Land is required to pasture the cows and grow their feed, which the animals belch out in the form of methane.)
Dairy contains cholesterol and human bodies can produce it by themselves so the added cholesterol is definitely unhealthy! Also, keep in mind that dairy's vitamin D is added artificially.
However, vegan options have drawbacks of their own...
Less preferable alternatives:
Unfortunately, “almonds require more water than any other dairy alternative, consuming 130 pints of water to produce a single glass of almond milk.” Additionally, “satisfying continual demands for larger almond crops is also placing unsustainable pressures on US commercial beekeepers. Nearly 70% of commercial bees in the US are drafted every spring to pollinate almonds. Last year, a record number –over one-third of them– died by season’s end as a result of these pressures and other environmental threats.”
Most coconuts grown for their milk lead to deforestation (“Between 2007 to 2014 rainforests in Indonesia were clearcut at the rate of three acres every minute to make way for coconut palm trees.”) and unfair labor practices (coconut pickers are often paid less than a dollar a day). Fortunately, Fair Trade certified organic coconut products are more environmentally and socially sustainable.
Rice grown for milk consumes massive quantities of water. Also, bacteria growing in rice paddies emit large quantities of methane (a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide). In addition to these issues, rice milk is nutritionally empty compared to other plant milks.
Preferable alternatives:
Hemp and flax milks are produced in such small quantities that they do not have significant environmental footprints.
Hazelnuts grown for milk are wind-pollinated, sequester carbon (temporarily), and are grown in naturally moist areas.
Soy grown for milk has very low environmental and social footprints if it is grown organically in the US or Canada. If a soy milk’s origin is unlabeled or specified as being sourced from a tropical country, there is a high chance that rainforest was cleared to grow soybeans that were used to produce it. Read the container! Additionally, soy milk is very healthy and its consistency is quite dairy-like. Fears of its endocrine disruption potential are baseless unless it is consumed in far greater quantities than a human could manage. Also, animal milk is full of animal hormones that are far more likely to cause endocrine disruption than the hormone-like substances that are present in soy products. As a matter of fact, these substances are healthy for most women.
Oat milk has a very small environmental footprint as most oats used for milk would otherwise be used as animal feed. One problem with oat milk is glyphosate contamination but certified glyphosate-free brands are available.
I have made almond and soy milk from scratch and I highly recommend looking into it rather than sticking to premade commercial plant milks. All you need is water and a mesh bag.
All plant milks are preferable to dairy, so there is no need to focus on the details unless you want to be as environmentally responsible as you possibly can!
In addition to milk awareness, I encourage everybody to consider planting a vegetable garden after the last frost occurs in your location! It is a wonderful way to bond with your food and the outdoors. It also provides an obvious use for compost. If you plant a garden, it will be good for your physical and mental health. Also it is a way to develop more self-sufficiency, so any survivalist friends or family will approve even before you share your produce with them!
Thank you for reading this dispatch and happy February from Forest and Turbeaux!

I just got a warning for a telegram I sent.
Can't repeat it on the factbook because of swearing, but I forgot about it, so when I read what they highlighted I died laughing... Hahahahaha
Did you make a typo and accidentally insult someone? I can't imagine you getting a warning ever..
Pookyvania and Tiku
There are no accidents. Only freudian slips.
Pookyvania and Inpendiiium
Ooooo that makes me curious. Is it a 4 letter word?
The nCOV is getting serious. Everyone please protect yourselves and wash hands and wear face masks, especially if you live in a large city. This is a public health crisis. I think tomorrow I'm gonna drive to work to avoid public transport even though that will delay my go-home time.
Thembria SSR: I'll respond to an earlier post of yours. I happen to think condemns are easier to pass, so long as they are written by neutrals and not "self-condemns" written by invaders. However though they are easy to pass, neutrals usually don't have enough info to write good proposals.
Pookyvania and Tiku
Stay safe GRO!
It was, indeed, a 4 letter word. Vaguely about doing something unpleasent involving a cactus.
I then made the mistake of reiterating in a second telegram, in graphic detail, about the proper order of steps in which they should proceed to light a cactus on fire, and stick it up their butt.
Regretfully I am unable to utilize the telegram feature for the next 24 hours.

Ah, well I thought you were warned for "Meat Sweats"
Vrolondia, Pookyvania, Inpendiiium, and April Ludgate
HAA! man it makes me wonder what they did for you to feel the need to tell them to go squeak themselves with a flaming cactus..
Also we have a really good chance of snow on Wednesday.. saying possible 3-5 inches of ice and snow.. I don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed like the last two failed snow chances..
9 hours ago: The Pink vibes of RiderSyl arrived from Osiris.
EEP a SylSyl!

That might be a new feature. I have swore in a telegram before and didn't get a warning. It might be because you did it twice.
I actually censored it out with stars in place of the word, leaving only the first letter. The swearing really isn't the issue, the issue was that it was flamming a WA mass telegram for a since rejected commendation on ridiculous grounds, and the author decided to report it.
The telegram ban didn't come until after I got the warning and decided to send another telegram, which also contained no swearing, but explicit instructions on how to perform human-cactus relations because I thought it was absolutely hilarious the mods put into the warning "there are far more rule abiding ways to express your disagreement with WA proposals than telling the authors to

I mean, they're not wrong.
Vrolondia, Pookyvania, Tiku, and April Ludgate
yeah im going to have to agree with Gamhound on this one
Vrolondia, Pookyvania, and April Ludgate
HA! That's meaner than anything I've ever said! and i'm a psychotic dictator!
Oh, I see. I give you points for originality.
So what about the changes in Gawhool?
