Despite being usually quiet, Forest had a very eventful spring. We began spring with a bang...and I mean that quite literally. As apart of the annual April Fools' Day prank all nations gained nuclear capabilities overnight. Long story, the forest is now radioactive and a barren wasteland. During the event Europeia was especially targeted, however both our regions sought peace in the end through a weekend of games. Perhaps the biggest event to occur, Forest was commended! On April 12, 2017 Forest was commended by a resolution proposed by The Rouge Christmas State and co-authored with United Massachusetts. Along with the shiny badge, Forest welcomed new nations which came in numbers to the region during the voting and shortly after the resolution passed. As a region we are proud of the commendation and hope that we live up to it. After the hoopla of the commendation subsided, Forestians voted to recognize June 8th as Forest Day. Forest Day celebrates the regional culture and history of Forest. The 8th of June was selected because it is the anniversary in which Forest was refounded following attacks from raiders. This years Forest Day also commemorated Forest's 10th anniversary since refounding. On May 7 our friends in Yggdrasil were commended. The resolution was written by our WA Delegate Ransium. Forest is renowned for its annual picture competition. Mount Seymour, head of government recently introduced a regional flag competition which recognizes unique and well designed flags within Forest. As of the writing of this post voting is currently taking place. Lastly, Drasnia was commended last Friday in a landslide victory within the Security Council. Drasnia is an active member in Forest with the nation of The Aldurfens. Many congratulations to Drasnia on this major achievement!

What's this about? We are organising a regional visit to New Warsaw Pact (NWP), International Democratic Union (IDU) and Eientei Gensokyo (EG)! It's our region's tradition to visit friendly regions once in a while. We had recently exchanged embassy relations with NWP and IDU, opened relations with EG in 2015. We have never visited all of these regions, it's time for a visit to spread the love! When is it? Tentatively, we will be sticking with the following schedule: Who can join? This field trip is open to everybody! Ygg and Val residents obviously and also any friends from embassied regions who wish to join the fun! How to sign-up? Sign up below if you wish to be part of the tour! Make a post so I know who is going! We have chartered a plane large enough for everyone in first class comfort! Smaller nations can also hitch a ride with me! Important rules If your nation is a WA nation, please endorse the sitting delegate when you have arrived at the region. We don't want to accidentally "invade" them by endorsing someone else... (no, really!) Once there, chat on their RMB! Find something to talk about and make friends! Be nice and have fun! Sign up below! (Even if you can only join part of the trip, just sign up and move to that specific region when you are around! We'll love to have as many on tour as possible.) Nation who signed up: Definitely going: @Miriliarith, @Thembria SSR, @Vrolondia, @particle, @Tzuland, @Sternberg, @Napantis, @NationHelper, @Laes, @Aerospace Forces, @Watersville, @Allemeine, @Valhyria, @Wan Nyan, @Miporin, @Brad Conley Might go: @Gravitonia, @Carrasastova, @Tiku, @Ramsea

Thank you all for participating! Did you manage to chat with some people and had fun doing it? Which region out of the 3: New Warsaw Pact, International Democratic Union or Eientei Gensokyo did you like the best? All three of them are kind of different isn't it? I'm very proud of you all for being so well behaved and active. To commemorate our field trip this year, I have made a pin for everyone who participated --> [img=http://www.half-hp.net/uploads/pins/xpin_small_visit17v2.png] Please feel free to include that in your forum signature, if you want. Those nations that are part of YDS will have their dossier updated to include the pin. Again, thank you all for joining! I hope everyone had fun!! ~GRO~

Good question.... Go to the top right corner, click Account Settings Then on the new page, go to the left hand side, and click Signature The system uses "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET" so pasting the link by itself (without the Tags) should be enough to convert any links to images. I've edited it for you.

I 'd like to request Dardona to have the Tropic of Cancer runs across her with long coast stretching from north to south and vast land area in the north eastern region (something like Chile and Bolivia combined). If possible, I want fertile land for agriculture, river, lush pine forests and high mountain range. Thanks
