Introduce yourselves!

[Phoenix]

It's always good to get to know your members and fellow citizens. If you feel like introducing yourselves so we can know a bit more about yourself, that would be awesome! Please keep personal details to a minimum though, a nickname and you're age is sufficient. Never give away your city or place of residence though.

I guess I'll introduce myself first!

I'm Nick and I'm 26 right now whose birthday is coming up pretty quick (12/08)! I use to go to college to learn about Software Development but I had to stop due to money becoming an issue. I have been apart of online communities for a while now, as early as being about 10 years old. My first was amusingly an Aussie Gaming Community called =AMGC=. I eventually moved on to find new friends after the founders of that community closed it down and found myself on the platform called XFire, the grandfather to Discord basically! I met someone called ArticWolf and he got me into my most suscessful (in terms of personal devlopment) community called Warrior Nation Network (WNx). I went on to become the leader there that I am today, obviously with more growth than back then. That community is still around but is far from its former self. I found myself on NationStates actually when I was first with AMGC I believe, but only remained there for a few months before CTEing. My main nation now (Phoenix Coalition) came to be when I was in my Junior year of High School. I was in many regions and even had a few regions myself, two were suscessful but eventually died. Now you all know me from being here, and I love it here!

 

[Phoenix of the Sun]

yowaddup I'm Phoenix, 21 yrs old, studying computer programming stuff in college atm. I like fire. Uh, a little more about myself on NS, I joined like May 2019 and RPed in TSP before becoming active in TSP's government and becoming active in the SPSF. More recently I have started venturing out of my comfort zone and getting involved in regions I like :> That's basically all there really is to know about me heh.

 

[Zukchiva]

My name is Zukchiva! But you can call me Zuk if you feel like it.

My birthday is actually Union Day (isn't that sweet?).

I found NS around three years ago (December 2017). Got involved within the East Pacific for the next three years and had the blessing of seeing TEP rise from the ashes like a phoenix (haha im so funny) after the Fedele coup. I used to be a big RMB RPer in TEP, but not really anymore sadly. But I do government there. Has to count for something, right? ;~;

I was assigned to serve as Ambassador to the Union sometime in mid-2018. So, I crashlanded here and got used to the community over the next two years. In February 2020, I took the leap and became a Citizen. For no good reason whatsoever, I ran in the August Senate elections, won second place, became Speaker, and did some stuff. And now I'm here, hello!

IDK how to end this so bye. but remember: i am goose

 

[EUKBICR]

hello, I am Isles. I am from India. I am 60 years old. I am a retired diplomat. I retired in 2012, due to medical reasons. I travel a lot with my wife since we are both pretty much free from jobs. I spend a quarter of a year in United Kingdom where my son lives, another quarter with my children in Australia and Canada, visiting one of them every year. I am a birdwatcher and like to travel the world to watch them. I have been to Chile, Falklands, Antarctica, Papua New Guinea, and most of the Commonwealth nations. I am also a monarchist and an Anglophile. Of the many great moments of my life, meeting the Queen is one of them. I joined Nationstates in 2013. Then birdwatching took over and I let myself sway away but then I returned to it when COVID-19 led to nationwide lockdown and no birding. So here I am. A married old fool, who travels more than necessary, and wrecks young folk on discord.

 

[Kade]

Hey, I'm Kade! I ended up in the UDS by complete accident. I originally joined NS with a school friend, and we discovered the UDS in 2016. Never left since, even as I occasionally explored another region. The R/D minigame is what keeps me around. I remember spending wayyy too many late nights with Kurio, Kang, and the gang at 0000 for major update. Who would've thought that a political simulator would have that!

I've been around long enough to remember when the government was ran out of a discord group chat , although I really haven't IC gov'd except for a few stints as MoCen.

IRL, I spend my time as a general purpose systems administrator. "If it plugs into the wall, its Kade's responsibility" - except the forklift

 

[Prorescia]

Hi everyone! I'm Wesley/Prorescia. I go online by Socialist Anxiety (a pun I made up based off of Socialism and my diagnosed social anxiety). I don't participate all too much in the UDS right now because of my schooling, but previously, I have been a Senator and I am still an ambassador. I joined the UDS as part of the "Drewpocalypse" in March after YouTuber Drew Durnil made a video on NationStates and I haven't CTE'd yet. I run a few other nation in other regions such as Mystery Gang and Tomato Republic. My favorite UDS thing is the roleplay.

I spend most of my time online or reading fiction novels, but I also play soccer/football and practice 5 days of the week. I also enjoy roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons with friends. I live with two roommates, one 2 years younger and one significantly older. As previously stated, I am a student and I am currently unemployed. My birthday is April 30th which is also the anniversary of Hitler's suicide.

 

[Dawnsland]

Hello people, I am Dawn. I am currently a student. My birthday is 27th of May. I like playing and watching sports and reading stuffs online like blogs and novels. I also enjoy reading poetry and write some sometimes. Other than that, I'm interested in learning coding/programming . I am just a beginner though, learning Javascript.
I actually found about Nationstates about 3 years ago. I joined it but I didn't find things much interesting back then so I didn't stick with it. But a few months back(In July), when I had nothing to do really due to the Lockdown, I recalled playing NS so I started again. That's when I came to know about and joined this amazing region . Shortly after joining, I was elected a senator. Since then I've been involved in UDS, although I was inactive for a span of about a month. I'm back and active now.
That's all, I guess.

 

[Zen]

Huehue I'm Zen, but Lex is my name. My birthday is 18 September, and I have way too many hobbies. I started NationStates four or five months ago, and have been in the Union of Democratic States that entire time. I won't lie, NationStates has actually inspired some stories and character backstories, which is pretty funny to think about.
Anywho if you got questions for me you can dm me or just ping me wherever .

 

[Dyl]

Hey all! Bit of an old thread but I thought I'd make my contribution. Most of you here know me by the name of my main nation, Khevo, though over time I've shifted to using Dyl throughout the wider NS-sphere. I joined NS almost five years ago, found the UDS nearly immediately, and have remained here ever since. Over the years I've served in most roles the region has to offer, with some admittedly being more successful than others. The Union is my home region, but I've also had the chance to spend some time in TSP (was part of SPSF) and, more recently, get involved in TRR's government.

Outside of NS - I'm 16, play soccer, and have an interest in coding. I'm also teaching myself to play the ukulele through loads of trial and error. That's all I've got, so thanks for reading!

 

[Sacento]

Hi, I'm also a bit late to the trend but who cares? My name is Sacento but my real name is James, my birthday is on the 13th May and I'm still relatively new in NationStates and the region. I joined back in maybe May last year and lurked just answering issues for a month or more until I posted my first message on the RMB and everything got better from then on! I am currently serving my second term as a senator after trying the whole of last year to be elected! This is my first region and I really enjoy it here! In my RL life I love movies (maybe a little too much) and I am obsessed with multiple franchises!! Hehehehehhehe byeee

 

[Josephto]

I suppose better late than never. I'm Josephto, but folks call me Joe or Joseph (I know, I am so creative with names). I first joined NS in early December. I was born into the West Pacific, but almost immediately joined the UDS upon receiving the telegram. I applied for citizenship, and within a day, I began annoying old members by picking a debate over just about everything. When Zen became chairperson, he asked me to be his Deputy, so that's what I do now. I have been fired as deputy, at the time of this writing, I believe 7 times, and I am going for a record. I pretty much run the assembly, and I quite enjoy my time in the Union.

Besides my time arguing with Phoenix and Mr. Isles, I am 16, I am in school, and I love sweet tea. I also have a healthy obsession with politics and the news. And that's all I have to say about that.

 

[The Seal in Black]

Welp i might as well. My nation in Nation States is Fremore. You can just call me Seal . Joined NS in August of 2020. Saw the UDS in a recruitment message and just said, "Lets see what they are like!". and I have been here ever since! Some of the things in my nation are inspired by things like the game "Control", and the book series "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". I like it here and I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon!
