https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/sui+juris They have the capacity to manage their own affairs. Thank you, I appreciate the clarification. I hadn't been able to find it myself. Didn't know legal experts used broken Latin, but I'm not surprised. And my own Latin is rusty, so I might be ...

Option #2:

These malcontent students are sui juris.

"These malcontent students are its own/his/their right"? What does that mean? The Latin statements from option #1 were perfectly fine, but the last 2 in option #2 seem rather strange. Is that deliberate?

The issues engine seems to increase the chance of issues you haven't answered in a while, or issues that you've only just become eligible for. So, since becoming Socialist 4 days ago, not only are you eligible for issues like #1301 or #1325, you've got a higher chance of receiving those issues that...

Good day. I'm not sure if this is a question or a bug report, and if this is the right place to post it... For some reason, I've been getting issues related to socialism and communism the past 2 days, and I was wondering if that was normal, given my nation's category and enacted policies. Nation cat...

My main problem with NS is that there just aren't enough issues per day. When I came back after 10 years of inactivity I thought that amount had changed to something like one issue every hour or two. Turns out that was only temporary for a day or so, which is unfortunate because if it was at least ...

Just wanted to say that it is not clear within the survey whether "forum" refers to an offsite service or not. I filled it out under the assumption that an offsite facility was meant, but, in my opinion, people might get confused. Could you please clarify it? Thank you.

Option #1:

become an endangered species

"becomes", perhaps?

OOC: You can make them pay for it. It just has to be accessible and affordable. No, it doesn't have to. Why should taxpayers be paying for cosmetic surgery? Especially for cosmetic surgery that not only does not reduce the suicide and homicide rates but actually increases the risk for them? OOC: &q...

Sounds like their call. If it's their call, they should be paying for it, not the government. It is truly a shame and a disgrace that a platform like NationStates that is also used for learning propagates false beliefs. It doesn't do anyone any good, including people suffering from gender dysphoria...

"You don't exist" qualifies for trolling. Appeal denied. You next, and final step, is a final appeal. For that you need to file a Getting Help Request. Ok. Not sure why you are quoting a phrase I have never uttered, but whatever. If I said G-d didn't exist, would that somehow magically qu...

Good day. I have been recently issued a warning for "trolling" . In my opinion, the message I have been warned for does not violate any rules. If anything, my other message is a much better reason for a warning, even though it is meant as a joke. As far as I am aware, it is not prohibited ...

OOC: I am a non-binary transmale and I have a gender diagnosis to prove it. Anyone claiming that is not a real thing, can feel free to take it up with the Real Life state of Finland. Also, unless you have an official paper declaring your gender - not your sex - why should I believe you claiming to ...

People are seriously voting for this? I don't even want to go into ridiculing affordable treatments for mentally ill people (yes, "gender dysphoria" is a mental illness, despite what the resolution says), but one of the statements in the resolution is a blatant, unscientific lie: "gen...

Can be either, depending on British/American English. https://www.dictionary.com/e/collective-nouns/ Our normal rule is that we adopt British or American spellings or grammar depending on the identity of the author. Given the author's name, I think we assumed British English, though Lancaster of We...

Option #3:

my collection of 250 perfumes are a vital part

Should be:

my collection of 250 perfumes is a vital part

"Collection" is singular, not plural.

Might have something to do with the nation having been restored from the dead.

Why does option #3 (compulsory drinking) decrease recreational drug use?

I know the whole gender debate is crazy these days, but isn't "Monica" a female name?

Option #2:

exclaims Monica Gutnick, the ambassador from the United Federation, adjusting his over-sized Stetson and shooting open his bottle of beer

Option #2:

For goodness sake

There should be an apostrophe after "goodness".

I have managed to reproduce it. It seems to only occur if the issue before the last issue is dismissed. Then you end up on the issues page with 1 issue and 1 timer until the next one.

Option #1:

if I’ll allow

Was Future Tense in an if clause intended?

It also appears for nations with a Government Size of 0. Probably because if there was literally no government, then there would be no government leader- no you (the player). That means I am mixing things up. I apologise. Here is a screenshot for the timer issue I've mentioned beforehand: http://im...

But what if they're law-abiding bicycle gangs? I don't have a problem with any of that - in fact, I am a big fan of that paragraph myself, and I've missed it a lot since a ton of new issues was added that has been preventing me from achieving Anarchy like before (not that it was an easy task in the...

Option #3:

whom has now wandered away

"who has now wandered away"...

The Anarchy description of biker gangs is definitely an odd one, as it's based purely on your nation category, which in turn is based purely on your civil rights, political and economic freedoms. That means you can still get that category if you have massive police spending, no crime, a well enforc...
