1885 CE: The territories are declare themselves "The Peace zone" - a war-neutral zone for accepting refugees.
1886 CE: The Peace zone slowly begins to grow. As more and more people arrive, more refugee camps are built and the Peace zone itself is overseen by the United Camps Council - a Council of representatives of each camp (1 person per camp) who are elected democratically by a majority vote.
1887 CE: The amount of people populating the Peace Zone becomes too big for them to rely on hunting and collecting shrooms and berries for food, and so they focus on constructing farms. The Camps Council focuses on economic self-sustainability of the zone.
1888 CE: The farms are not being constructed quickly enough, and as such, a famine breaks out with hundreds of people dying of starvation. The Camps Council temporarily legalizes cannibalism.

1896 CE: The zone is reformed into "The republic of Blupolia" With the directoriate and intelligentsia saloons as it's government.
1899 CE: The constitution of Blupolia is written. Though it has many holes in it and leaves some questions open, it does guarantee equal rights to all men and forbids Blupolia from participating in massive foreign conflicts.

1909 CE: Blupolia proceeds to build up their industrial sector.
1911 CE: Economic panic in Blupolia. Rise of the oligarchs and financial pyramids. The oligarchs making money out of their financial pyramid scheme bribe the Intelligentsia into submission by providing the money the government desperately needs for Major Corporations Bailouts.
1913 CE: Douglas Henrison, leader of the Blue Star Militia, begins to speak out against the Intelligentsia. The oligarchs and the Intelligentsia opt to turn a blind eye and ignore him.
1914 CE: As the living conditions in Blupolia slowly go from below average to miserable, strikes begin to happen here and there.
1916 CE: Nationwide strikes. The entire industrial sector is shut down. The people call for an improval of the working conditions and re-distribution of wealth in the nation. Douglas Henrison gives passionate speeches in all the major cities claiming that an end to corruption and oppression of the lower classes can only end if the Intelligentsia is removed from power. Douglas becomes incredibly popular among the Blupolian population.
1917 CE: Herbert Jatish, who is known for his ignorance and corruption, is elected the director by the intelligentsia. Seeing the writing on the wall, he attempts to assassinate Douglas pn multiple occasions - by poisoning his wine (the poison was neutralized by the alcohol), by hiring an assassin to kill him in his sleep (but Douglas was awake that night as he had caught a cold and his runny nose kept him awake at night) and finally attaching a bomb to his car (but Douglas decided to jog to the camp that day). Of course, Douglas soon found out about that and began planning a military coup to overthrow the Intelligentsia.
1918 CE: Following Herbert Jatish's signing of the law that allows the corporations to physically abuse the children who work for them, strikes once again errupt across the country. The blue star militia moves in to establish a temporary dictatorship with captain Douglas Henrison at it's head. Though many people fear that a military dictatorship could have negative consequences, those fears are proven unnecesary as Douglas Henrison's first act as the dictator is to repeal the children abuse law.
1919 CE: Douglas Henrison updates the constitution. In it, he states that all the genders and all the races are to be treated equally by both the government and the society. He also outlaws child labor. The nation is renamed into "Novoblupolia".
1920 CE: Douglas Henrison holds the Senate elections - a system, which proves to be much less corrupt than the intelligentsia, as the senators live in the capitals and are being tracked to ensure their integrity and honesty.
1921 CE: "The peaceful purge" - all of the government officials who are proven to have had connection with the passage of the Child Labour Permission act are Publically trialed, fired from the government poitions and forbidden from ever participating in events connected to the government again. None are executed, but many people are sent away with a prohibition of ever coming to Zvezdow again.

If there's anything you would like to know about Novoblupolian history that isn't mentioned in the factbook, what would it be?
What about native languages? Are there any?
traditional suit:
The most ancient archeological discoveries of Novoblupolia suggest that Rseckongtalriongarto tribe appeared in somewhere between 2500-2000 BC.
In around 500 BC their language started to sound the way it sounds today
In 231 BC they invented writing
the Rseckongtalriongarto tribe soon embraced the imperialist leadership led by a certain Garkinhulooka Ferjiklanthatra, who led the tribe in it's grand campaign against the island's other tribes, establishing Rseckongtalriongarto empire in 67 AD.
The rseckongtalriongarto rarely built stone houses- they were much more used to the special wooden houses, which had special sticks underneath them, allowing the people in large groups to move houses.
In 1253 AD an english expidition arrived in greenland territories, but was annihilated after an unsuccesful attempt to collect gold from the empire.
From the rseckongtalriongarto writings:
"They told us to bring gold into their camp. We didn't have any gold in our village, so we decided to gift them tomahawks as a gesture of good instead. Unfortunately, they didn't tell us where to put the things we were supposed to bring, so we left the tomahawks in their heads"
In 1634, the danish expidition arrived in greenland territories. Rather then to fight, they've decided to cooperate with the tribe, and the rest of the story can be found in history factbook.
The natives are very technologicaly advanced, thanks to the cooperation with colonists. Although they do still hold ritual parties to have fun.
Native villages:
How they used to look like(the remains of one of the oldest villages):
How they currently look like:
Native languages were a mix of IRL Zulu and Swahili.
Of course, this factbook is ancient so it doesnt fit with my lore but main characteristics are similar.
Nice. I meant for myself. Also, I'm trying to card farm. I'm not doing great though.
"a Council of representatives of each camp (1 person per camp) who are elected democratically my a majority vote."
Noticed a grammatical error, you can fix it.
Firefox includes a feature that lets you use multiple identities (multiple accounts) on one site, with each account in a distinct, colour-coded "container". What this means for NationStates is that you can be logged in to multiple nations in different tabs all at once, without having to switch between them. This allows to greatly speed up card farming, as switching between nations can take a considerable amount of time. Of course, the more farming puppets you have, the greater the time savings.
In essence, containers can be thought of as if you're using a different browser (or private browsing) for each nation, but all within a single browser instance.
This feature stems from Firefox' desire to be a privacy-focused browser. So far, it is exclusive to Firefox, and won't work in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera...).
One of the many extensions leveraging the power of Firefox' containers is Containerise, which lets you automagically open a tab with a different, logged-in nation (without having to log out from all of your other ones) by simply clicking a link.
TL;DR: Containers are a Firefox exclusive feature that enables you to be logged in to multiple nations without having to switch and relogin.
You can install Firefox through your package manager or download it here.
The default Multi-Account Containers extension is cumbersome to use with lots of puppets: each separate container must be opened manually through clicking in a menu.
Containerise is an extension that lets you dynamically change the nation you're logged into (the container) based on the content of the address bar. You can get it here.
TL;DR: Install Firefox and Containerise.
I've created a python script that can automate this step for you (along with some other features).
This is the most confusing step of all. Containerise uses a special syntax, Regex, to choose when to switch to a different "container" (nation).
There's two main ways in which you can configure the extension to switch to a nation: nation=puppet or container=puppet.
nation=puppet:
Instant switching when visiting the puppet's nation page (ex. nationstates.net/nation=my_secret_puppet switches to "My Secret Puppet")
Does not work on N-Day/Z-Day and possibly other events (it will switch you to the puppet, preventing you from shielding/healing it)
container=puppet:
container=puppet has to be manually added to the address to switch to a puppet (ex. nationstates.net/container=my_secret_puppet to switch to "My Secret Puppet")
Does work on N-Day/Z-Day (will not switch you to the puppet unless container= is in the address)
If in doubt, nation=puppet is usually easiest for beginners and will work out of the box.
You will have to generate a rule for each puppet, like this:
@^.*\.nationstates\.net/(.*/)?nation=puppet_number_1(/.*)?$ , Puppet Number 1
@^.*\.nationstates\.net/(.*/)?nation=puppet_number_2(/.*)?$ , Puppet Number 2
(etc.)
@^.*\.nationstates\.net/(.*/)?container=puppet_number_1(/.*)?$ , Puppet Number 1
@^.*\.nationstates\.net/(.*/)?container=puppet_number_2(/.*)?$ , Puppet Number 2
(etc.)
The part before the comma is the puppet's name, all lowercase, spaces replaced with underscores. The part after the comma is any name that uniquely identifies your puppet (purely cosmetic, but it has to be unique — I recommend just using the puppet's name). The easiest way to generate these rules is with a spreadsheet.
Having done this, click on the Containerise extension's button (four colourful squares).
TL;DR: Read the damn step, it's important. Or use the python script.
Note: you don't need to follow this step if you're using the python script.
It's a good idea to generate clickable links to each of your nations, so that it automagically opens a new container-tab. If you don't want to use the script from the previous step, use a spreadsheet. You can also add additional links that redirect you to any NS page, like your puppet's issues or it's deck page.
The links should be in this format:
container=puppet:
https://www.nationstates.net/container=my_puppet_1
Issues link: https://www.nationstates.net/container=my_puppet_1/page=dilemmasnation=puppet:
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=my_puppet_1
Issues link: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=my_puppet_1/page=dilemmas
TL;DR: Too lazy to read an optional step? Your loss.
Now that you've configured the extension comes the mundane task of having to log in to each of your puppets. The upside is you'll only have to do this once every few months!
Open a new container-tab according to the rules format you chose:
container=puppet:
https://www.nationstates.net/container=my_puppet_1nation=puppet:
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=my_puppet_1
Click the Login button
Enter your credentials and click the Stay logged in/Remember me checkbox.
(If you don't you'll have to login next time — that defeats the purpose of containers)Click the Log in button
TL;DR: You'll figure this out sooner or later. Or you could just read the 84 words.
There's a lot of scripts created by the community that you can use to speed up farming even more.
I've created a set of 3 simple ones to make issue answering easier (they'll have to be all installed).
The rest of the repository contains other useful cards-related scripts, I encourage you to take a look at them too.
If you're new to cards, I recommend reading this excellent guide by DGES/TNP's Cards Guild.
You can also join the cards discord for more tips, tricks & tools.
I advise you read this. It makes going through 100 puppets a breeze.
There are a few things I've yet to discover too, for example, how do I manage the decks, how do I make bank, and other things.
Racoda, Wrangleria, and Rho Ophiuchi
I'm quarantined again. yay.......
Thanks!
Thank you.
While I'm quarantined I will make a history factbook. I will start making it tomorrow.
Zachary Marshall: "Wonderful. In that case, I look forward to seeing you in Rho Ophiuchi at some point in the future! Have a great day!"
OOC: I suppose this is the end of the contact?
Landon: Thank you so much!
OOC: Yes.
Arthralonian clubs be like:

Without alcohol, drugs, and smoking now.
I have a short story essay about the lottery by Shirley Jackson and I cannot find the energy to care at all.
Yesterday I learned that Mesto is Czech for City.
Your factbook for etymology must be interesting now
Well, Mestovakia is now an autonomous port city in the Republic of Chernarus.
MPz.57's and 67's are being turned into scrap for the sake of making more MPz.220's.
We object to this proposal.
And now I tell you Berg is mountain in German. So I let you guess what iceberg means.
Does anyone 3d print?
As he receives the Arthralonian president’s gift and hands it to an aide, State Minister Majewski remarks: “Ah yes, thank you very much. It’s quite lovely. You know, one of the most remarkable things one can see when wading through this building is the very similar projector that the late Head Chancellor Kasinova gave to my predecessor. We will cherish this one as we have done so with that particular artifact. Holographic instruments seem to be your nation’s thing. They must contain some sort of diplomatic charm,” he adds jokingly before proceeding: “Of course we where all horrified at the Head Chancellor’s death and the subsequent pandemonium that engulfed your nation. I hope that the minister here has made that clear.” The Norrhan minister of External Affairs lowers her head, instead perusing through her papers. The Norrhan head of government continues speaking: “Terrible thing when an entire population has to go through such traumatic events. Naturally, we understood when you decided to suspend any potential agreements between our nations. It’s not every day entire systems collapse. Nevertheless, you will have to forgive me. I am not up to date on the discussions you held with the previous Norrhan government. Seems everytime my team seeks to arrange a meeting with Mr. Jamieson he suddenly has to leave the country for one of his endless lecture tours. Been like that for almost a year, the 'elder statesman.'” Majewski laughs whilst his team smirks. From the Norrhan field, a voice emerges suggesting the Arthralonian delegation elaborates on the issue.
