The sky was pitch black with no stars adorning it, it's only source of light was the moon, which was almost completely covered in fluffy, sheep-like clouds.
Tall mountains towered above everything else in the distance, some of them even seemed to touch the sky.
Near one of those mountains was a dense, picturesque forest. Packed with snow-covered pine trees, and a thick white blanket covering the ground.
Snowflakes drifted down slowly like little dandelions dancing in the wind, and in the middle of that forest, resting on a carefully-arranged pile of leaves, was a small deer.
The hours passed and eventually the sun slowly began to rise. The fawn awoke and stood up, it's brown fur was covered in white spots, like small pearls adorning it's body.
It wandered around the forest, searching for food. It found and ate some leaves, twigs and buds, but that still wasn't enough.
It continued walking, passing by many trees, until it found an apple tree. The deer got on it's hind legs and knocked some apples off the tree, then it ate them. On the ground lied some acorns, which the deer also ate.
While the deer was too distracted eating, a dark silhouette silently approached, hiding behind the trees.
The silhouette belonged to a lone wolf, whose body was covered in many scars. His fur was a gray-ish black, and his teeth were sharp and intimidating.
Fortunately, the wolf accidentally stepped on a nearby twig, alerting the fawn, which promptly ran away.
The fawn ran until it thought it was out of danger, and yet, more wolves approached. This time it was a pack, and while the deer may have been able to run away from one wolf, it would definitely not be able to outrun a whole pack. Still, the deer ran until it was exhausted, but the wolves quickly caught up to it.
After quite a gruesome scene, the wolves were now well fed and swiftly took their leave.

So what you’re telling me is, if I can seize the productions of pistachios forcibly and provide myself with a functioning monopoly and get that many nuts per day, I can become a Demi god and then activate the dream of taking over the world by hiring waves of private militias from my pistachio fortune?

I'm sorry that's not the answer we were looking for. The correct answer is "cancer causing automobiles". Thank you for playing and please enjoy this parting gift of a pair of rabid flea infested penguins shipped directly to you from the wonderous land of Volaworand.

Huge amounts of water are diverted from the delta to feed the farms and cities of the Central Valley and southern CA. They plant thousands of acres of orchards then use tricks to get water allocations.

Do you not also feed your nation? It would be better if you had more water, perhaps. Do look into that, would you dear?

Howdy folks, the Cabinet has released a statement about the current SC resolution that y'all should all take a look at.
11 NOVEMBER 2020
Fellow South Pacificans and friends abroad,
This week, our Office of WA Legislation (OWL) noticed suspicious activity in its surveys on Security Council resolutions. In an effort to increase to participation and representation in the World Assembly, OWL holds regular RMB-based debates on World Assembly resolutions. The outcome of these debates strongly influences our Delegate’s vote on the resolutions.
Our allies in 10000 Islands also alerted the Cabinet and the Council on Regional Security on this suspicious activity and provided more information. We have strong evidence that members of The Black Hawks attempted to manipulate the outcome of Security Council votes related to their interests.
The nation “Rebbid” belongs to known player Martyn, who is a corporal in The Black Hawks, and was founded merely 2 days before immediately joining the World Assembly and casting a vote, without explanation, in favor of “Commend Twobagger.”
The nation “GlowGolden” was founded at the same time and also immediately joined the World Assembly and cast a vote, without explanation, in favor of “Commend Twobagger.” We believe this nation may belong to Steak Paul, a known member of The Black Hawks, due to Steak Paul resigning from the World Assembly a mere 30 seconds before GlowGolden was admitted.
Both Rebbid and GlowGolden nations had moved into newly-founded passworded regions before moving into The South Pacific. We believe this may have been part of an alternate plan to pad “Commend Twobagger” with approvals by creating small single-purposes Delegates, in case it could not reach the voting queue organically.
A similar pattern was spotted with the nation “Seltin.” This nation is older, founded in September 2020 but only days ago rejoined the World Assembly. Their only activity in The South Pacific has been to vote in OWL and their votes track with the interests of The Black Hawks. They voted in favor of “Condemn Ever-Wandering Souls”, which was widely considered to be a thinly-veiled congratulation for the well-known raider. They also voted in favor of “Commend Twobagger.”
The Cabinet of The South Pacific considers this a grave and gross violation of our regional sovereignty by The Black Hawks. We endeavor to create an open community and foster a representative government, and the OWL program has been a great vehicle to introduce the community to the World Assembly. To abuse and attempt to manipulate the outcome of these votes to serve a foreign enemy’s interest is an attack on the integrity of our democracy. The Cabinet retains the authority to override an OWL vote, exactly to prevent something like this from succeeding. We shall do so when necessary. Let it be known to all enemies of the Coalition, and those who would think we can be so easily manipulated, that The South Pacific and our allies are watching.
The Cabinet also takes this opportunity to address the Security Council resolution that has inspired The Black Hawks to again attempt to violate our sovereignty. “Commend Twobagger” is a product of the worst habits of the Security Council and the Gameplay community in general. Let’s be clear: Twobagger betrayed 10000 Islands and joined their enemies in The Black Hawks. Regardless of the motive or anybody’s opinion on that, they are not an active defender and 10000 Islands does not approve of being used in such a manipulative way to commend them. The commendation purposefully misleads the rest of the game into thinking that Twobagger is a current wonderous defender, when in all actuality they are a turncoat raider.
“Commend Twobagger” represents the epitome of bad faith, pettiness, dishonesty, and disrespect that we have sadly come to expect from The Black Hawks. This kind of abuse of the Security Council debases the institution. When a resolution can be pushed through using such dishonest and despicable bad faith, it devalues the whole purpose of Commendations and the Security Council itself. Too many regions underestimate the damage these stunts do. The Black Hawks, and those who aid and abet their remorseless bad faith, are sowing a momentary and fleeting feeling of joy in sticking it to defenders. But we will all reap the disillusionment and discontent that comes when we throw the principles of honestly, good faith, and honorable conduct out of the window.
The South Pacific has voted against this commendation, and we encourage all regions, and all of our allies and partners to join us in doing so. It’s time to stand up for what’s right and foster a game that no longer promotes and rewards manipulation, bad faith, and trolling.
Faithfully yours,
The Cabinet

Office of WA Legislation Notification (OWL)
A new proposal has reached the voting floor in the Security Council. OWL has written up a recommendation and collated opinions, and posted them to our Dashboard.
SC: Commend Twobagger
OWL Recommendation: AGAINST
OWL recommends voting FOR the at-vote resolution, "On the Supremacy of the Potato". The Delegate has been asked to cast their vote accordingly.
Please find below the Office's Analysis for an examination of the resolution and the reasons for the final recommendation.
Acclaiming potatoes as a widely enjoyed, versatile, and important food, the at-vote resolution "On the Supremacy of the Potato" would declare potatoes the WA's official food. Its arguments include further nods to several potato-related events in NationStates history, such as an Issue, their role in the incumbent WA Secretary-General's 2020 election campaign, and the multi-time N-Day "Potato Alliance" faction, among others.
While pie, ice cream, and especially cake 🍰🍰🍰 are objectively superior to the potato in every way possibly imaginable, the Office finds this to be only a minor concern, since an international increase in demand for potatoes after the passage of this resolution would in turn leave more of the aforementioned desserts free to delight South Pacifican taste buds. We specifically acknowledge the potential of the potato to be used in recipes for the same, combining their benefits.
Furthermore, if ignoring the lack of a sentence subject, the proposal is adequately written and incorporates the illustrious history of potatoes in NationStates well. Especially as a fellow member of the N-Day Potato Alliance and treatied ally of the centre of all potato efforts Spiritus, the South Pacific is happy to support the promotion of potatoes.
Thus, OWL recommends a vote FOR the at-vote resolution, "On the Supremacy of the Potato".

you will need:
• high quality cow juice (what? you think we use low quality shtukovino here? Xa!)
• buttermilk
• cheese cloth
• time
davai!
day 1
first, let the milk and buttermilk come to room temperature
once thats done pour the milk and buttermilk into pot
cover it and put it in warm (around 37 celsius) oven for 1 hour
take it out of oven and place it in warm place and let it sit for one day, when its done it should have the consistency of sgushyonka
day 2
place on stove uncovered over low heat for 40 minutes until its warm
then remove from stove and put it in warm place again, let it sit for one day
day 3
place on stove uncovered over low heat for 40 minutes, if the cheese starts separating from the whey you're doing it right, if not then start again
turn off the heat and let it sit covered for an hour
afterwards, place 4 layers of cheese cloth over a big colander set inside a large bowl
then pour the cheese mixture over the cheese cloth
tie a knot to your cheese cloth and hang it over the kitchen faucet for 8 to 10 hours
congratulations, you have now made cheese
and if you're not slav enough and need a translation for some of the words i said, here it is:
davai means come on
sgushyonka is sweetened condensed milk
shtukovino means stuff

You gotta look out on the cow juice, if it's "ultra pasteurized" the proteins have been destroyed and it wont form curds.
