Political events
- Ananke became the most endorsed delegate in all of NationStates earlier this month! Her current endorsement count stands at 427. Regional power!
- After thorough discussion in the Council of Nine, the Council has set the first ever delegate term lengths. Delegates will now serve no longer than six months in any twelve month period, but are welcome to run again after someone else has had a go.
- Due to real-life pressure, SovietPrussia stepped down from his Senate seat in mid-April. Rather than holding an interim election for just a few days, his replacement will be determined in the current Senate election.
- In political party news, the illustrious Islands Party now has a password-protected board for conducting primary elections for Senate and Delegate elections.
- Ministry of Immigration report (via Minister of Immigration Enigmatic Nation)
Good news kiddies! This has easily been the best month in the history of the Islands. Hands down, the best. None better, None, not a one, in the history of the Islands. This is the best. THE. BEST. But don’t just take my word for it, look at the numbers.
For starters, we have more than a thousand nations. One thousand ninety-three (1093) last I checked. That is HUGE. We’ve never done that. Ever. In the history of the Islands. It’s totally awesome. TOTALLY AWESOME!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, if the above wasn’t enough of a record breaker for you, check this out. Echolilia, in only his second month of recruiting, has recruited an unbelievable 236 confirmed nations. No one has ever done that before. Ever. In the history of the Islands. It’s totally awesome. Needless to say, he’s our top recruiter this month.
Lastly, our runner-up recruiter with 75 confirmed nations, is Ananke who proves just how “leet” she is by sending out 1337 telegrams this month. No one has ev–OK someone probably has, but it’s still totally awesome.
Well done to all the recruiters this month. Rewards are a-comin’ along with a special gift for seeing us to a thousand. I’d also like to say a special thank you to every recruiter ever for playing their part in getting us to a thousand nations. Sorry, a thank you is all you get. If you want something else, get of your lazy behinds and start recruiting again!
–This has been the best synopsis in the history of the Islands. Hands down, the best. THE. BEST.
Taco Islands
- Improving Wordiness was given the green light for her highly popular and terribly fun XKI Auction House. To date, over a half dozen nations have been bought (or sold, depending on your perspective) raising tens of thousands of tacos for the RRC or Taco Island Charities. The auctioned off Islanders have begun preparing and serving http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rpmiscellaneous&action=display&thread=14910&page=1 for their buyers.
- Like the rest of the Internet 10ki seem to have a thing for bacon or as they say in Taco Island http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Entertainment&action=display&thread=14949
- Finding spumming too low for their liking when it comes to earning Tacos, some enterprising Islanders have started a http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Entertainment&action=display&thread=14804&page=1.
- Certain islanders seem to suddenly have found themselves possessing various kinds of http://10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Entertainment&action=display&thread=14935&page=1.
TITO News
- TITO defended 16 regions this month.
- Biblical Importance and Improving Wordiness were both awarded the 10000 Islands Legion of Merit medal.
Random Happenings
- Also by the grace of the Department of Immigration, 10000 Islands finally accomplished a major goal by surpassing one thousand nations earlier last month. Go us!
- The Department of Immigration, and the region as a whole, passed a milestone by crossing the 100,000 telegram mark for nations contacted via Iwerddon’s Accelerator. Hooray!
- In the wake of certain non-WA or non-XKI nations voting in WA Resolution and Security Council polls, MinnaCaroline and Ananke spearheaded an effort to split the voting section of the WA Resolution discussion thread to a more secure location in the Senate Lobby. Links on each of the two threads direct nations to the other thread, allowing a seamless voting process.
- April 28th marked the celebration of Fleeb Day, in honor of one of our oldest and most upstanding citizens. In the true spirit of Fleeb, a selection of popular words were automatically changed to “Fleeb”. This was a hoot.
- Prolific recruiter Markanite has been awarded his very own house! Huzzah!
- Prolific recruiters (100+ telegrams sent) this month were Echolilia, Outsiderz, Cerberion, Ananke, Greek People Nation, Improving Wordiness, Grub, Demean Work and Markanite.

The Story of Ananke and the Three Bears
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Ananke. She went for a walk around Nation States. Pretty soon, she came upon a region called house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.
At the table in the kitchen, there were three jugs of Beer. Ananke was thirsty. She tasted the beer from the first Jug.
“This Beer is too hot!” she exclaimed.
So, she tasted the beer from the second jug.
“This Beer is too cold,” she said
So, she tasted the last jug of beer.
“Ahhh, this beer is just right,” she said happily and she drank it all up.
After she’d drank all of the three bears’ beers she decided she was feeling a little tired. So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Ananke sat in the first chair to rest her feet.
“This chair is too big!” she exclaimed.
So she sat in the second chair.
“This chair is too big, too!” she whined.
So she tried the last and smallest chair.
“Ahhh, this chair is just right,” she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!
Ananke was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay down in Biblcals bed, but it was too pointy.
Then she lay in the Minnas bed, but it was too soft.
Then she lay down on Guys bed and it was just right.
Ananke fell asleep.
As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.
“Someone’s been drinking my beer,” growled Biblical Importance, the Papa bear.
“Someone’s been drinking my beer,” said Minna Caroline the Mama bear.
“Someone’s been drinking my beer and they drank it all up!” cried Guy, the Baby bear.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair,” growled Biblical, the Papa bear.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair,” said Minna, the Mama bear.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair and they’ve broken it all to pieces,” cried Guy the Baby bear.
They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Biblcal the Papa bear growled, “Someone’s been sleeping in my bed,”
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed, too” said Minna the Mama bear
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed and she’s still there!” exclaimed Guy Baby bear. “Must be my lucky Day!”
Just then, Ananke woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed, “Help!” And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Ananke ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three bears.
