Hi, nice to see you! Bit of background if you want it (I know a few of the recent intro posts didn't include it, but I don't like single-sentence posts) I've been on and off NS for years, usually getting bored and letting my nations CTE before wanting back in and creating a new nation... Anywho, Roglaria is my latest attempt, and this is me introducing myself. Hi!

A few months back, our Yggdrasil Defense Service Officer, Wordy had ceased to exist. In the meantime, our founder Goddess Relief Office temporarily took the position. Happily for everyone, Wordy returned about a month ago and reclaimed command of the YDS. The first mission after Wordy was refounded was to [b]10000 islands[/b] to secure Markanite's position of delegate after Markanite had accidentally resigned from the WA. YDS also deployed to [b]Wysteria[/b] to place [b]Hydroponic Nation[/b] back into the delegate's seat after the region was hit by an update raid. The most recently deployed mission of YDS was to defend the region of [b]Philippines[/b] after the region was being invaded by The West Pacific and other invaders, which removed the rightful delegate [b]Ariusgrad[/b]. Evidence shows that the invasion happened shortly after its founder, The Holy Kingdom of Zombies of Puan Puri Naduk, ceased to exist. Spear Danes, along with other regions including Yggdrasil had come to an agreement to defend Philippines against The West Pacific. The mission ended successfully with Ariusgrad retaking the position of delegate. [IMG]http://www.half-hp.net/uploads/observer%20inbrief.JPG[/IMG] [b][u]Philippines Proposed Embassy[/u][/b] Following our defense of Philippines, Yggdrasil has received an invitation to construct embassies with them. As Ramsea, our delegate stated on the RMB on the 27th of July: [i] Philippines proposed to construct embassies with us... we did help liberate them[/i] - Ramsea It is understood that the Foreign Minister has gotten in touch with the Philippines to process the application. [b][u]Tea Time With Who?[/u][/b] A year ago, [b]Gahiland[/b] started the interviewing series, “Tea Time With Gahiland”. The series included interviews with Vrolondia and South Titania. With Gahiland's CTE, the interview series came to an end. Unsatisfied with this situation, Tiku suggested that the series be continued as everyone missed it. Conversations started as many opinions are stated that how should it be done. Telegram out for participants in the region is also suggested. The person who would take over the series is also unclear. So the series is now an unaddressed issue. Until lately, [b]Imperium Germania[/b] stated in the RMB that he might be able to do with the series. Keep it up! We are looking forward to the series! [i]I'm sad I'm just discovering this now.

[b]Nlfn[/b] is banned for moving through our region to help with a misguided raid against our friends in Forest. As Nfln was relocated to the rejected realms, it moved to Forest, and was ejected, then Texas, and was ejected, then it moved to [b]Violet Irises[/b] and resigned from the WA. [b][u]New Editor For The Observer[/u][/b] Yggdrasil’s The Observer was inactive for the past year.

Recently GRO has appointed [b]Miriliarith[/b] as the new representative for the committee and the committee has published a list of member of committee for 2018, as follows; The PotPourri Octo of Herzil, Wysteria.
