World Factbook Entry

Independent of larger organizations and factions, Valkyrie Valentijn Samantha Constantine and The Sixty leads the way to a better future on their own.

Created exactly on Valentine's Day (well, at least for most timezones), this place serves as a chill-out place for Valentine Z and his friends!

I might be doing some Factbook shoutout thing, the one where I will choose the ones that truly captivated me. May or may not become a regular occurrence, but I'll try!

Yes... all the Regional Officers so far are me. (Minus the Successors, both are different people.)

Please direct ALL TGs to Valentine Z.

Hello

Tao Valentine cookies for everyone!
(::)(::)(::)(::)
(::)(::)(::)(::)
(::)(::)(::)(::)

Just another traveller, rolling along with the "Geese and friends road show".

Happy Valentines Day, Peeps.

So happy to have spent Valentine's Day in this happy region, but now we need to resume our flight pattern.

Time to roll on, See you next year.

Part 3 has come to an end. With that:

We must say goodbye to Mk. 3 for its wonderful times and fantastic capacity that it showed my photos.

And with that:

Valentine Z's Photography Adventures - Mk. 4

As some of you can tell by now, I do a lot of photography in my free time! Almost all the time it is a hobby thing - there were times when I do take photos with my family, or friends... and even then, I would not receive any money from it*. Not that I want to, actually. I do this for fun first and foremost, and being able to hone my skills just by taking a lot of photos have been nothing short of fantastic! And hey, you're your own boss in a hobby. I get free reign on where I want to go, and where I want to take shots!

* If in the event that I entered a photo for a competition with actual money involved, I will NOT be using NationStates to promote or involve it in any way, and will not tell about the contest until it's over.

My current equipment:
- Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- LG V60.
- DSLR first and foremost - NIKON D850 w/ 24-105 mm f/4 Sigma, attached with 24-105 mm Sigma Lens, full-frame.
- Sony AXP-35 (a camcorder, might do some little shorts, too).

A lot of my photos are now on Flickr, I am only using the Dispatch now for my highlights. Flickr account here: https://www.flickr.com/people/146486195@N08

What better way to make a new one, with new photos?

We must say goodbye to Mk. 3 for its wonderful times and fantastic capacity that it showed my photos.

And with that:

Valentine Z's Photography Adventures - Mk. 4

As some of you can tell by now, I do a lot of photography in my free time! Almost all the time it is a hobby thing - there were times when I do take photos with my family, or friends... and even then, I would not receive any money from it*. Not that I want to, actually. I do this for fun first and foremost, and being able to hone my skills just by taking a lot of photos have been nothing short of fantastic! And hey, you're your own boss in a hobby. I get free reign on where I want to go, and where I want to take shots!

* If in the event that I entered a photo for a competition with actual money involved, I will NOT be using NationStates to promote or involve it in any way, and will not tell about the contest until it's over.

My current equipment:
- Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- LG V60.
- DSLR first and foremost - NIKON D850 w/ 24-105 mm f/4 Sigma, attached with 24-105 mm Sigma Lens, full-frame.
- Sony AXP-35 (a camcorder, might do some little shorts, too).

A lot of my photos are now on Flickr, I am only using the Dispatch now for my highlights. Flickr account here: https://www.flickr.com/people/146486195@N08

Read dispatch

I do wish I can take my camera with me to hikes, but I kind of couldn't.
- These are mostly done after I have done my morning exercise at an army camp. I rather not explain and complicate bringing a DSLR into an army camp.
- It's hot, humid, and very very sweaty. Don't want to dirty my equipment.

Huh.

This makes first for unplaceable regions.
...Mostly because I have a region to look into.

Anyways,

7/10.

So, you've had your region visited by this Probe...


GOOD REASONS
- Rosettan Overwatch has taken interest in your region for the sake of seeking embassies,
- COR is looking into your region due to similar ideologues,
- COR is looking for members,
- Curiosity.


BAD REASONS
- Rosettan Overwatch is looking into your region due to opposing ideologues,
- Your region is under investigation by COR due to opposing ideologues,
- Other reasons.



CURRENT STATUS
- Scout for members.

#2, AnCat: Dead region.
#4, TTR: Hypocritical antifur capita-communists. More self-contradicting than a bloody pseudo-archaeology post. Typical, of course.
#5, : They don't deserve the light of day. Let 'em be cast into the forgetful void.
#9, LDU: Conflicted. On one hand; partially similar ideologues. On the other; chaos, as expected from a democracy.
#10, TFNR: Quiet region.
#11, Kylaris: Dead region.
#12, TGA: Self-contradicting. Embassied with raiders. Expected a "Kill Or Be Killed" event to fall in their favor.
#16, REI: ...What even is this place?
#17, GTM: Yet another utopian idealist settlement. Unsurprising. Nothing to do here.
#21, TD: Confused, though should probably give it a day or two. Dunno what to make of 'em.
#24, MLPE: hell yeah
#25, RMBSP: HOW?!
