Welcome to the headquarters of Atrigeas!

Atrigeas was founded on February 2rd, 2012, as "a peaceful place to grow your nation." After being featured just four days later, it started its first government, a direct democracy. We have had a parliament, constitution, and now a transitional government, but each has continued the tradition of a democracy.

XKI Update

Date: May, 2013
Population: 2,605
Delegate Endorsements: 687
Forum: 10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi

Political Events

There is a lot of news to report from the XKI political sphere for May.


* Elections were held for 3 senate seats. The seat for Blue Canaria North was uncontested and therefore retained by incumbent Malecia
* With the retirement of 3lit3 from the Senate, 3 candidates vied for the New Republica South Seat. This was a very long race and ultimately had to be decided by the Council of 9. The candidates were The Islands Party Candidate Tsim Sha Tsui, Valoniah, representing The Defender Party, and Ketab, carrying the banner of the Mayor Shelter Political Party. Per 10000 Islands Election Law, with no candidate receiving a 50% majority in the General election, a runoff had to be held between the top two candidates. The runoff ended in a tie between Valoniah and Tsim Sha Tsui. The race then moved into the Council of 9 where Tsim prevailed in a very close vote.
* With Aersoldorf now serving as Immigration Minister, a special election was held for the Himes West seat. MSPP candidate Randomain prevailed over Olivia the Pig and Duckyian Empire, and will serve out the remainder of Aerso’s term. This seat will be contested again in July.
* With the new Senators, the current Council of 9 is:

Grub (Founder)
Cerb (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Woonsocket (WA Delegate)
Malecia (Senior Senator, Blue Canaria North)
Humansanity (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Randomain (Senator, Himes West)


The Council held the following votes:

By a vote of 7-1, the Embassy with The North Pacific has been closed and our emissary has been recalled.
By a vote of 8-0, the Council declined to establish an Embassy with the Royal Alliance
By a vote of 8-0, the council declined to establish an embassy with The Rejected Realms
By a vote of 8-0, the Council voted to establish a “Fund to Advance XKI.” Details can be found here: Fund for XKI

Taco Island

Among the events on Taco Island this month: Werewolves 26, moderated by Lyonesse East Senator Humansanity, is underway. This month’s game is patterned after the Salem, MA witch trials of 1692.

Random Happenings


Aersoldorf received the Improving Wordiness Cerulean Star for brining in 3000 confirmed Recruits.
Malecia received the Lockeria Green Star for brining in 450 confirmed recruits.
For his outstanding work as a recruiter, the Council of 9 has granted Ater Nox his own House.

3LiT3's note: I apologise for the delay on opening the consulate. The council were very busy with our forums being upgraded, which resulted in a massive loss in data. I was also very busy as a result of my schooling. It should be fine for a while, though.

In June, ProBoards upgraded the forum and this caused a great deal of upheaval to our home board. As it stands now, most of the issues have been resolved. The Awards system, Taco system and shop have yet to be restored. However, Founder Grub is hard at work on these issues and we anticipate that the forum will be restored within a relatively short period of time.

Political Events

No elections were held in June. In July, the Senate seats of Himes West and Lyonesse East will be up for grabs.

The Council of 9 is:

Grub (Founder)
Cerb (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Woonsocket (WA Delegate)
Malecia (Senior Senator, Blue Canaria North)
Humansanity (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Randomain (Senator, Himes West)

Delegate Woonsocket has announced the appointment of four new Emissaries: Duckyian Empire - Texas, New Ecopia - Jethnea, Benevolent Thomas - FRA, and Land Filled With People- The South Pacific. Good luck to our four newest Emissaries in your missions to your respective regions!

TITO News


  • TITO Battles in June included: Quebec, Band Camp.

  • There were several changes to TITO Command in June. Improving Wordiness has moved on and her replacement is the very capable Land Filled with People.
  • Tactical Officers Eist and Boltor, as well as XO Ad Infinitum have stepped aside and have been replaced by T.O. Benevolent Thomas and XO Kanaia.

  • We should take a moment to remember the service of Wordy, who led TITO through some of its finest hours, including the recent liberation of The South Pacific.
  • We should also take a moment to remember the contributions of Bolt, Eist, and PAI. To paraphrase a great leader of the last century: Never has so much been owed by so many to so few.

  • Last, As Senior Senator, I want to convey my fondest and most sincere wishes of good luck to Field Commander Land Filled With People, Tactical Officer Benevolent Thomas, and Executive Officer Kanaia. Public Service, whether as Delegate, a Senator, a Minister, or a TITO Command Officer is oft times very burdensome. Many do not realize the demands placed on those who serve in these posts. This is particularly true of TITO staff. While Senators have the tri-annual challenge of running for office, TITO staff and the decisions they make are a direct reflection on the Islands and on our claim as the "Finest Fighting Force in Nation States." So please join me in wishing all three of our new officers the very best in the challenges they will be facing.


TITO Command is:

Grub (Commander in Chief)
Land Filled With People (Field Commander)
Benevolent Thomas (Tactical Officer)
Kanaia (Executive Officer

The following is the Emissary Report for September, 2013.

Political Events:

September was election time again in the Islands. Here is the run down of what occured including an interesting political Shell game.

Elections were held to fill the office of the Delegate and the senatorial seats for Blue Canaria North and New Republica south.
The New Republica south race was fought out between new comer Duckyian Empire, vs incumbent Tsim Sha Tsui. Tsim came out on top despite a well fought campaign by Ducky.
Incumbent Malecia ran unopposed in Blue Canaria North and continued on as Senior Senator, for a few seconds...
Long time TITO member and Tactical Officer Benevolent Thomas ran against Minister of Labor Cerberion for the Delegate position, with Cerberion taking the seat.

Round 1 of the Shell Game... find the Senator for Blue Canaria North.

Roll up roll up ladies and gents! Here we have Senior Senator Malecia, all you have to do is find what roll he's filling. Watch the hands closely now... place your bets!
I'm sorry you lose... Malecia is now the Minister of Labor and coming out of left field, Valoniah is appointed to fill the open seat of Blue Canaria North.

Due to the vacancy created by Cerb taking Delegate, Malecia was snapped up to fill the permanent CO9 role as Minister of Labor, so congrats to him!
Valoniah was appointed to fill the vacant seat by Grub, probably because Val is really funny when he is drunk. Sure he is a long term TITO Knight, has served in the 9 as a senator before, but mostly he is just funny drunk (He didn't write this bit, can you tell?).

The shuffle caused more complications though as our Senior Senator had been snaffled to fill the open ministerial seat, and Tsim was found to be next in line, so congrats to him.

After all the shuffling we have the following:

The current Council of Nine (the government of 10000 Islands) is:

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Randomain (Senator, Himes West)
Ater Nox (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Valoniah (Senator,Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

Magthere has reached 100 battle stars and been named Tito Knight Commander. Tito missions continue as usual, the war on invaders never ends. Significant missions in September include The East Pacific, Monkey Island, and Scotland.

Taco Island

It is with great regret that I announce the Mayor of Taco Island, Shelter from the Storm, has passed away. His mayors mansion is filled with flowers presented by friends from NationStates. He was loved by all, and kept Taco Island a fun and inviting place. The spamming in Taco Islands continues, just as we know Shelter would have wished.

The marathon werewolves game continues. We are now on Werewolves episode 30. The current game is being run by Witchcraft and Sorcery, who has opted for a Skyrim theme for this game. If you ever feel like stopping by to participate I'm sure they would love to have extra players.

The following is the Emissary Report for October, 2013.
Political Events:October is a non election month in the Islands, so no surprises there. Our New Republica South Senator, Tsim, had a baby daughter, so at least we know someone's been getting some around here, married men, am I right! ..... *ahem*.

Moving on, there is a discussion in the Council of 9 on renaming Taco Island to "Shelter's Taco Island", in honor of our recently passed Mayor of Taco Island, Shelter from the Storm.
The current Council of Nine (the government of 10000 Islands) is:Grub (Founder)Malecia (Minister of Labor)Markanite, (Minister of Education)Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)Cerberion (WA Delegate) Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)Randomain (Senator, Himes West)Ater Nox (Senator, Lyonesse East) Valoniah (Senator,Blue Canaria North)

TITO NewsThe merciless slaughter if invaders continues for TITO. Big profile mission for the month of October include Discordia 1 million, I mean 5, as well as a liberation of Middle Earth. You think those hobbits could look after themselves... Aersoldorf received his 100th battle star, and has thus been promoted to the rank of TITO Knightt Commander. As is tradition here in the Islands, we ripped off the the arm of the invader lead from his 100th mission and mounted above his door.

Taco IslandThe chaos continues in Taco Island, with the spamming and whatever the heck it is they do in there. Werewolf 31 is on like donkey kong, so get your silver bullets ready, daddy needs him self a new throw rug!

Also, Aersoldorf won the poet laureate contest.

The following is the Emissary Report for November, 2013.

Political Events:

November was an exciting month in XKI politics. Elections were held for the Himes West and Lyonesse East senate seats. When the dust cleared, the winners were Benevolent Thomas for the East seat and Witchcraft and Sorcery for the West seat.

It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Council of 9 unanimously voted to rename Taco Islands to Shelter's Taco Island as a memorial for our late and sorely missed Shelter.

The Council also voted to expand the reward system for immigration. There are two new medals for recruiters, the Bolter Lightning Badge and the Woonsocket Saffron Lighthouse. Those sound fabulous!



The current Council of Nine (the government of 10000 Islands) is:

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Wictcraft and Sorcery (Senator, Himes West)
Benevolent Thomas (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Valoniah (Senator,Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

There have been some TITO Knight milestones this last month. Ananke II has reached 200 battlestars, giving her the rank of Tito Knight Master Commander. Ater Knox has reacher 150 battle stars, giving him the title Tito Knight battalion Commander, and Benevolent Thomas has reached 100 battle stars, giving him the rank Tito Knight Commander. They are all fine examples of invader slaying steely eyed killers. Congrats knights!

Taco Island

The spamming continues in Shelter's Taco Island. I struggle to comprehend what they do in there. Werewolf 32 is on, so they're doing whatever the hell it is they do there. Casting spells, typing furiously, drinking coffee. I do know that they are having fun, and that's what counts. There is a tug of war competition between House Wordy and House Aersoldorf. My money is on the spawn of our sassy Australian lady friend! Othe than that, the endless threads of spam continue to grow!

Until next time my friends.

Forum: 10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi

The following is the Emissary Report for January, 2014.

Political Events:

January was the first month of the new year, and to ring it in the Islands, elections for Blue Canaria North and New Republica South. Tsim Sha Tsui retained his seat of New Republica South without opposition whilst the Council of Nine welcomed Duckyian Empire as Senator of Blue Canaria North as a result of a three-way race.


The current Council of Nine (the government of 10000 Islands) is:

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Randomain (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Wictcraft and Sorcery (Senator, Himes West)
Benevolent Thomas (Senator, Lyonnesse East)
Duckyian Empire (Senator, Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

There were 12 successful deployments, including the Maknovia Liberation and Christmas from some members of the Lone Wolves United region (along with members of the Brotherhood of Malice), a region which had declared war on the 10000 Islands a few years ago.

We'd like to welcome TITO's newest member, Witchcraft and Sorcery. It appears that he is off to a fantastic start. Also, Tsim Sha Tsui reached the milestone of completing 150 missions, earning the title of TITO Knight Battalion Commander. Finally, Land has decided to step down as Field Commander and no replacement has been named for the time being.

Taco Island

There has been a Werewolves game based on Ghostbusters in progress, under the supervision of Ater Nox. Also, a competition has been started by Free Guns For All, in which a funny picture is posted and all participants must create a suitable caption. The winner then gets to post the next picture.
