I like a lot of different colors but if I had to pick favorites I guess I’d choose purple and green. I care more about the brightness than anything else, I’m not a huge fan of really bright colors, they mess with my eyes. I dislike neon things for example.

I feel like Corngold is also obligated to say yellow or gold. Or maybe some other fun color that corn can be that isn’t seen as often. Regardless, some kind of corn color is necessary or I’m afraid the universe might implode or something.

Also here's myyyyyy recommandations:

WA: AGAINST - I don't have that much time to go deep into why - but tl;dr: It's not that well written, and has a lot of flaws. For a in debth reasoning I'd recommend reading this:

International Nuclear Compliance Commission
Voting Recommendation: AGAINST
Written by: Hesitant Dispatch 440

This resolution has numerous flaws: the definition of "Nuclear Energy" being confined to only include national infrastructures with "more than one structure" appears to create a needless exception for single nuclear production buildings that, while not as potentially impactful or harmful as mass nuclear operations, still require appropriate oversight. Furthermore, "SCRAM" as a defined concept is needless and is used only once by the text in a way that could be replaced by its definition.

The need for an overarching international organisation, the International Nuclear Compliance Commission (INCC), that sets out operational regulations for nuclear infrastructure is unclear. Furthermore, the INCC is responsible for "Maintain[ing] a safe clause of security around nuclear power", which safely escapes the realm of international law as applied by a Committee and should instead, at most, be a responsability delegated to member-states directly.

The sub-Committees assigned to INCC are equally questionable where international relevance is concerned. The Emergency Nuclear Response Organization would've been, by itself, a Committee worthy of standing on its own, if applied to situations where a nuclear incident would affect multiple nations as an organisation that'd seek to provide immediate assistance, relief, and international coordination.

And I’m relieved to say that some varieties of heirloom corn can actually be naturally light pink! That must be why the world didn’t end.

The flag in the poll was Chad's. The only way to have known for sure was either if your device tells you when you hover over the emoji what it is or by copying the emoji and searching it as it would've shown that it was Chad. But honestly, if you didn't do something like that to find the answer, that's awesome even if you didn't get it correct.

I voted off of vibes :D

By the way, if you ever receive an inappropriate telegram from a random nation, just report the telegram and do not engage. The NS mods will take care of it. If that nation is in this region, please also do tell the Ops Councilor. Writing this as someone who has now repeatedly received an inappropriate telegram from the same nobody on different burner accounts.

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well!

After the currency exchange rate thread, I had the idea for an international organization for the solidarity-based trade of commodities. I'd like to have others' opinions and suggestions if you find it interesting. Here is the thread. Obviously, I'd like you to join the previous thread too.

Thank you!

I feel like for the latest poll, you would have done dress for every occasion. Radiation will heat everything up for a little while but then what natural disasters will happen

Hi Refugia! I would like to inform you that I have been elected as the new Delegate of 10000 Islands. You can find out some information about me and the elections in this Dispatch:


A Shelter from the Storm!
Greetings, Islanders and the rest of the World!


As of 17/09/2026 at 05:50 UTC, I, Juiulia have become the official Delegate-Elect of 10000 Islands. It is admittedly something I never foresaw in my time here at XKI. When I first joined, my impression of a Delegate was similar to the one felt when thinking of the serving President or head of state whilst being an average citizen. Now, I not only get to bear that title as soon as the transition is over, but I also get to carry the responsibilities it comes adorned with.

Whether you cast your vote in my favor or not, I want to thank you for your initiative to take part in the political aspect of XKI. I'll try and do my best to deliver as much as it is expected of me.

I joined XKI back in 2019, and have been blinking in and out of activity since then. I joined TITO in 2021 because I believed that every region had the right to self-determination, safe from the hands of those ill-intentioned who wish to conquer and take them as trophies. In 2023, Chief Executive Markanite called upon my name to be included in the Hall of Heroes as the 135th Knight of TITO. In late 2025, I was elected for my first term as Senator for Blue Canaria North, and was re-elected once in 2026. As part of the Special Elections held this very month, I had cast my candidacy to eventually win uncontested. I choose to believe that I won because of the genuine will of having me in office rather than because there was no-one else to vote for.

Please make sure to endorse both Pantso and Juiulia during this transition period!

Why I'm here


I have stated in my campaign post Linkright here that it is my intention to focus mainly on two issues that have gradually undermined our region: Inactivity and the Population Decline. Although I may have other goals in mind, these two are the principal issues that I believe we should all work together, as a region, to solve. It is not my intention to discredit the efforts of our very hard-working officials, be it serving in office or not; these problems are infinitely more structural than they are anyone's failure.
I will address these affairs soon enough, and with the help of anyone who expresses their initiative. For now, anyone is welcome to suggest courses of action that we could begin to discuss.


Due gratitude


Please join me in thanking Pantso for his tenure as Delegate from July 2025, and as Senator for 2 years before that. His term has shown a great deal of excellence, and set the bar perhaps too high for me. Also, another round of thanks is due to all XKI officials for keeping the region alive and kicking. Without their efforts, we would have been long gone.



Thank you Delegate Pantso!


Thank you Chief Executive The United Royal Islands of Euramathania!


... and a thank you to every Islander, whether in office or not!

A message to the rest of the world


Whether you are an Islander reading this or the citizen of a foreign region, I wish to extend my willingness to take part in peaceful cooperation. However, there are some principles that I believe should not be ignored. Whatever political alignment I might consider myself a part of, it is crucial that the will of our Islanders is respected. 10000 Islands has historically refrained from taking sides (when it doesn't come to Gameplay, of course), often being considered a neutral region in terms of ideologies. This is mainly because most of those serving in the government of XKI believed that every opinion matters regardless what they personally believe in. While I would gladly take a certain position, it may not be what most Islanders feel inclined towards. It would not be the course established by our history. This applies the other way around, too. It is true that you cannot satisfy everyone at once, and that is why I place all my bets on proportional representation. On the outside, XKI seems neutral; but on the inside, there are many citizens with diverse opinions, all of whom deserve theirs to be respected.

If you're interested in reaching out to discuss matters pertaining to the World Assembly, please contact me via NS Telegram or LinkDiscord.
If you seek to establish an embassy between our regions, you are welcome to do so by following the steps, if you meet the requirements, found Linkhere.

I will also designate a Foreign Affairs Secretary to aid me in all relevant matters. This designation will be announced in a dispatch as well.



Thank you for your attention! - Juiulia
