Simonia

## Overview (in character)

The Kingdom of Simonia (Simonía in Spanish) (pronounced si-MOH-nee-a or /sɪ’moʊ,niæ/) is a nation first thought of in December 17-20 2022 and created their NationStates region (the other regions are on the planets of Elle 11 and Majestia) in August 13, 2023. Simonia is very small in Elle 11, big (and sparsely populated) in Majestia (not the NationStates Majestia), and very big but not at all sparsely populated in NationStates.

Simonia's two-letter code and domain name is SN and its three-letter code is SMN.

Simonia's capital cities are Pink Castle City (executive), Simonia City (legislative), and Alliyora (judicial) (see Simonia's Provinces).

For those wondering why Simonia still has colonies/outposts, it's because Simonia is made out of three pieces of land of different planets, not because the Simonians wanted to start an empire. Well, they kinda did, but they didn't claim land the way the Mongol Empire did it. The Simonians peacefully claimed the 3 pieces of land when they were still uninhabited. Simone, the leader of Simonia, also founded Payoniaand ”adopted” Floricia-Leanna.

Simonia as a whole is known for environmental protection. Simonia-Elle 11 is known for its Pink Castle, Simonia's main government building. Pink Castle City has nine buildings, including the Pink Castle, four pink towers and four skyscrapers. Simonia-Majestia is known for its distinctive cities and provinces. For example, just imagine a Winter Province next to a Desert Province. Simonia-NationStates is mostly known for its magical fog that can mysteriously make people disappear and its ultra-fast intercity subway system.

## Simonia and Friendly Pacifists

Simonia posts on the forums very often. That's how they met Thal Dorthat and North Freachikion. Since their region, Majestia, is an embassy collector region, they sent embassy requests to their regions, (the old) Dorthat Islands and (the current) Friendly Pacifists. Both Thal Dorthat and North Freachikion agreed to construct embassies with Majestia. One day, to Simonia's surprise, Thal Dorthat switched regions to Friendly Pacifists. For unknown reasons, Simonia posted on Friendly Pacifists' RMB at page 30, posted more and more often, almost joined the region, and at page 86, Majestia and Friendly Pacifists became official allies. Since then, relations between Friendly Pacifists and Majestia continued to develop, though there were a few ‘violent points”.

Overall, Simonia used to have a good reputation in Friendly Pacifists. Their alt accounts Friendly Simonian Pacifists and Symonya reside in the region as Majestian ambassadors. On December 17, 2023, Thal Dorthat decided to accuse Simonia of tyranny, closed embassies with Majestia, renounced the alliance declaration, and inspired a mass condemnation of Simonia.

## Selanophobia

On 2 December 2023, it was suspected that Simonia has joined the ranks of selanophobia, due to its defamation of the Selanese Empire over the closure of embassies between Friendly Pacifists and True Waskaria, where the latter region is known for using various extortion tactics to force its embassy onto other unconsenting regions, a move widely known as "embassy imperialism". Simonia insists, without proof, that the Selanese Empire defamed Peoples of Waskar, despite the former itself being a victim of defamation by the latter. In Friendly Pacifists, there was a poll regarding closure of embassies with True Waskaria, which gained support of the majority of the region, but Simonia insists that the Selanese Empire somehow "misinformed" those who voted for, despite the Selanese Empire never having interacted with any of them, and everyone is free to voice their own opinions. It ended on the same day when Simonia scheduled for closure the embassies between True Waskaria and Majestia.
