There hasn't been any global warming for 20 years now.

I find your unsourced, wordpress hosted graphic less than compelling.

I researched the dataset used to create that graphic, which comes from https://www.nsstc.uah.edu/climate/, and it doesn't measure global warming directly, but instead radiance from the troposphere. Additionally, the current graph (https://www.nsstc.uah.edu/climate/2019/April2019/tlt_201904_bar.png) clearly shows a continuing trend. That graphic is intentionally deceptive as it chooses a dataset limited in time from the highest previous peak to the lowest recent peak.

I just learned that a member of my church was an astronaut who walked on the moon and I'm astounded

Cool! Not many people have been on the Moon.

Who were they?

I want to be so famous one day I walk into a room and someone sings "WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE WAY FOR A VERY SPECIAL GUY"

WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE WAY FOR A VERY SPECIAL NATION

OOC:
Our little region is getting smaller because of CTE's. Let's just look at the latest regional happenings (abbreviated)
1 day 13 hours ago: Hatsukoi ceased to exist.
1 day 13 hours ago: Alpha2 ceased to exist.
1 day 13 hours ago: Spanakotopia ceased to exist.
5 days ago: Socialinavia ceased to exist.
7 days ago: Yerbia ceased to exist.
8 days ago: The greater nordic empire ceased to exist.

Any ideas of what we can do to make this place more engaging to our member nations? Should we being back WA voting on the board? Controversy? Polls? Arguments over real-world topics? Role-playing? Something that doesn't take very much time in anybody's day but is interesting enough to look at once a week at least seems like it would both keep people alive and interested in the region without burdening anyone's schedules. What do would you like to see in this board?

I like polls. They should be at least somewhat Scandinavia themed. Not generic.

If open to all nations in the world, polls even constitute an interesting form of - very understated - regional advertising; entirely unobtrusive, because they are only found by nations that are interested in looking beyond their current region in the first place.

Hey if I wanted to write about my nation has a Scandinavian style economy, how should I go about that?

Nioya wrote:Hey if I wanted to write about my nation has a Scandinavian style economy, how should I go about that?

It all depends on which country youre going by. But important factors to take into account are:

Corporatism, Union Power, Flexicurity, Progressive Taxing, universal models of welfare along with stuff like electoral systems and ease of doing business

Maybe say that your country has a capitalist feel, but a socialist sway.

Can someone read my factbooks and tell me if they are ok?

Fine enough start but id recommend you start out structuring your articles as wiki-articles as early as you can, it helps you with structure and adds to realism and is additionally easier for readers to digest
