Nice List | 2023

From the Desk of the Elfin Scribe
Napapiiri, Rovaniemi, FIN


Well, it seems the seasons have gone ‘round, once again, arriving back to us with all the telltale signs. The night grows long. The sun grows cold. And overheard on the street goes the familiar refrain, “I gave at the office.”

We, here, at the region of Christmas, invite you to give with us, as well. As we compile our (semi)annual Nice List, we ask that you take a bit of time to write in to us with the names of those you feel deserving. The hope for this list is that it serve as a spotlight for generosity, a friendly nod to those whose toil brought pleasure, and whose hearthful presence was sufficient to fill the room with warmth.

As many niches that exist within NationStates, there are ways for someone to have an impact. Whether their impact was felt by many or few, that they had one at all is all that matters! Please send us their names, and let us laud them.
