I always appreciate you taking the time to give me some insight. It is very much appreciated. If we had more people like you in the world, things wouldn't be as stark! ☺️
When I have a chance, I will try and cobble up a proper response when I am not juggling my clients. ❤️
Perhaps because the QWERTY keyboard layout was designed before lazy people abbreviated everything?
fr bru ppl b so lazy js write normally
It’s cool seeing nations grow up
My first NS nation had over 3 bil population before i created this one
Cool TBH I meant personality wise
I’m going to start card apocalypse now
Card apocalypse NS trivia rare card question:
Who was the first delegate of Europe
idk was it Alsted?
I know you posted this an hour ago but like why are you one to talk, for example, "fr bru ppl b so lazy js write normally"
This has many shortened words such as fr (for real), ppl (people), b (be), and js (just), those are examples of lazy typing.

And returning to the original text.
Three years after blowing past the 10th anniversary of NationStates, just a few of the old political orders and regions remain. After over 12 years of history and many changing lives and situations, many of the oldest amongst us have left or forgotten the ancient and storied pasts of ancient lands.
The start of this story begins before Twitter, Facebook, and the iPhone, as Europe is one of the oldest regions in NationStates. Its history, however, is shrouded in the fog of time. Tracing the exact age of the region is a problem which has eluded many a good nation and citizen of these storied shores.
To trace the history of Europe, we must also trace the history of NationStates. From this year, 2015, we must look back beyond the passage of the last WA resolution; the Delegacies of myself, Jenesia, Jeux II, Alsted, to Gallantaria; the creation of the World Assembly itself; the demise of Jolt; the rise of Unibot; the limit of 200 nations to a ban-list; the introduction of influence; the Delegacy of Kandarin in the Rejected Realms; the rise of the New Pacific Order; the conquests of Francos Spain; and into the aged documents of history.
Origins
We know that Europe already existed by 26 January 2003, as Europe's first forums attest to its existence. Since the forum, which was quite popular, was run by the nations of Grated Cheese and Schumania, we can also conclude that these are some of the earliest leaders in European history.
The first copy of the Region's page was taken 4 May 2003. Due to the changing nature of NationStates' URL format at this time, a number of different URLs have been archived by the Internet Archives. The early archives are separated into three sections: one which uses a 'pin=-1' input (the first document), one which maintains the 'page=display_region', and one which uses the current system.
The oldest publicly available record shows the nation of Grated Cheese as then-United Nations delegate. However, it does not show a founder of the region. If we are to recognise (1) Europe has had no attested re-foundings, (2) multiple persons have claimed that it has been in continuous existence, (3) Founder positions were granted by moderators in the past, and (4) Europe at this time was already home to 753 nations, it is very likely that Europe was founded before the creation of Founders in regions.
From this, Europe is a peer of other ancient regions like the Pacifics, Lazarus, Balder, the Rejected Realms, NationStates, and Canada, all of whom have histories which predate Founders.
However it is, we know that Europe likely originated very shortly 13 November 2002, when NationStates was released to the public. Testimony from members of Europe's off-site forum state that the region was founded in the days following NationStates's release to the public, so Europe dates to some time in November 2002.
The region was originally founder-less, like the region NationStates today. But the region had two founders appointed by moderator action after a number of illegal raids: Schumania and after he ceased to exist, EuroFounder.
History
After May 2003, with the introduction of automated logging software in the form of NSDossier, records are inaccurate (due to infrequent web scraping), but extant. For example, we now have today easily accessible records on population movements in Europe. Earlier data-points can be added manually, but information on non-numerical data is not as readily available.
Below is a chart of Europe's population with the best available accuracy from 4 May 2003 to 14 October 2019.
Since the United Nations and its successor organisation have pretty much always been part of the game, Europe has had a Delegate pretty much since the start of NationStates.
This line of delegates starts with Grated Cheese, the first recorded Delegate of Europe, starting his tenure in May 2003. Since the records are spotty, not much is known of his Delegacy or any accomplishments. Such is the same with many of Europe's Delegates until the start of Alsted's reign in 2009.
Following Grated Cheese, East Colorado took the Delegacy, who was followed by Nendeln (whose Delegacy accompanies an unexplained gap in July 2003). However, following Nendeln, Seo de Urgel took the position in late 2004. He was followed by Arthuria-Elizabetia in November, The County of Worksop in May 2005, Bachir Gemayel in March 2006, and Byzantople in April 2006.
Byzantople's reign of around 45 days was followed by a short term of instability, putting Monkecia, Kaihola, The Grey Messiah, Kaihola (again), Short Shorts, and Hexola on the Delegacy over a period of three months.
The stability of the region's leadership was stabilised by September 2006, when Short Shorts took control of the Delegacy for around 100 days, relinquishing it to Gallantaria in December 2006. Gallantaria was unseated in May 2007 for nearly a month before retaking the Delegacy in July.
After another unseating in September 2007 by Neueuropa, Gallantaria took the Delegacy in December for nearly more than a year before relinquishing it to Alsted on 2 February 2009.
Alsted, then known as the United States of Alsted, took control of the region with some 101 votes in the then-new World Assembly. Under his reign, Europe's population expanded from a low of 313 in July 2009 to its second-highest level ever, adding nearly 125 nations per month, and again breaking 800 and reaching 810 in November 2009.
By Alsted's retirement on 8 February 2011, Europe still remained at nearly 600 nations and under his tenure, and had become one of the most powerful voices in the World Assembly with nearly 300 Delegate endorsements. One of the greatest accomplishments of this time was also the creation of Europe's reputation of being one of the most prolific World Assembly vote stackers (voting early and strategically so that people who vote in line with the majority will vote in your favour) in history.
Delegates
This is a table of the Delegates of Europe with confirmed dates. Credible sources have provided all the dates for the reigns herein described. Information before 26 December 2007 is unreliable or missing, but if you can find anything, please telegram it to me forthwith.
The publicly available records of Europe begin on 4 May 2003. It appears that EuroFounder was made founder of the region sometime before 18 February 2004 after an earlier founder, Schumania, ceased to exist on 22 October 2003. However, the first records from May 2003 show no founder whatsoever, so the question remains to be answered. Some forum members state that EuroFounder was made founder by moderator intervention after a nasty raid, although this is unconfirmed.

The following is a chart from the start of Gallantaria's delegacy to 14 October 2019 that superimposes the Delegate at the time along with the population of the region and the estimated number of endorsements the Delegate had.
Aw thanks, this is what I was trying to find, but wouldn't it be Gallantaria?
(edit) never mind your right it is Grated Cheese.
A lot of them with a tombstone for their nation.
Congratulations on reaching one million influence! My answer is China
Founder activity is Influence exempt. EF didn't lose any.
I now have a population of one billion, yay \(≧▽≦)/
Seevolin is back.
Then I don't understand why I see "Sprat (9,681)" on his page.
UPD: Did I mistakenly remember that he had over a million influence? The graph shows that there was no drop. How stupid... I apologize
Calm down Kkorea.
good morning my beloved Europe
Well good morning mister Armbuster.

I actually did say they aren’t a viable solution. To elaborate on that, ear buds/airpods don’t work as they don’t go far enough into my ears to make a difference unless I pump the volume to max at which point others can hear, pressing the larger phone loud speaker to my head is far more effective (and believe me i try to keep it as low as possible. Over ear headphones which have a louder speaker do work for me and i’ve found soft fabric ones that are comfortable (can’t stand that typical fabric that flakes after a while on the majority of headphones) but they can leak at the highest volume too which is what I often find myself needing to do.
To be frank my hearing is partly neurological i think as theres things it does I can’t really explain if it were purely a physical problem, because it varies between being so loud I can hear a dog whistle and trucks sound like thunder to not being able to hear a thing. Due to this variability, which changes at the most random of times (days, months, years) finding the right solution is difficult.
Frankly I would just rather text because whether my hearing is too loud or too quiet, silence is bliss. When there is literally no-one around I don’t have to strain or anything. If I really do need to pick up a phonecall then i am most fortunate to more often than not be in a place where I can use loudspeaker. What would really be good is subtitles for phone calls, that would be perfect.
That all said it still doesn’t negate my original point about giving the benefit of the doubt to others.
