    A History of TITO:
    The Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization or TITO was formed in the beginning days of the 10000 Islands. The founding members of Grub, Lyonesse, Blue Canaria, Titanica, and TheSensitiveNewAge all banded together for the mutual defense of the then tiny region.

    As time went on, the 10000 Islands grew slightly, but the region was still small. One night, after several new nations had entered the 10000 Islands, a nation by the name of New Boniventure posted a warning that our region may be the aim of an attack by the Empire of Power.

    The Empire of Power was a region roughly five times the size of the 10000 Islands and was known for attacking regions and then ejecting all of the native countries.

    Thanks to the early warning, the stealth attack was confirmed. As Empire of Power nations flooded into the 10000 Islands, the future looked bleak as we were heavily outnumbered. The only hope was to go to outside unknown regions and ask them for their help.

    The call for help was sent out to many regions that night, and thankfully many responded. Some of the regions that generously lent their help were the Urbanites, Texas, the Heartland, The Rejected Realms Army, and several other regions. When the NationStates update came, our side was victorious by just a single endorsement. The battle went on for two more days, but help flooded in and the region that dwarfed us in size was soundly defeated. Without the help of those outside regions, the 10000 Islands would have been defeated.

    As a result of that time, the 10000 Islands formally signed alliances with Texas and the Urbanites, and established friendly relations with the other regions that lent their help. TITO's goal after that attack was to not only provide for the defense of the 10000 Islands, but to also aid other regions when they are unfairly attacked.

    Recently, the 10000 Islands has helped once again to defeat the Empire of Power when they attacked our ally in the OSA, the Moonlit Islands. Other recent operations were in the Pacific trying to defeat the corrupt ruler, Francos Spain. We were actually on the winning side on that battle, but the NationStates Mods reversed the results because of a technicality. TITO also has a complex intelligence operation but details are classified.

    TITO continues to provide for the freedom not only in our growing region, but also in regions throughout the world.

    Taken from the Early TITO History topic, written by Grub.

    Electoral News:
    With the departure of our previous Delegate, elections were held and Markanite was named as the new Delegate!  Elections for Senators of New Republica South and Blue Canaria North were held, with Ater Nox being named the new Blue Canaria North Senator, and Isles of Nixon being named our new Senator of New Republica South.  In other news, Ayunli was named as the Regional Reserve Chairman.

    Entertainment News:
    A new plugin was installed that allows people to add their own music in their replies.   New ideas are arising for games to create to take advantage of this new feature.

    Werewolf 38: Taco Island's Got Talent has ended!  The good guys have defeated all of the saboteurs, and Barry was crowned as the winner of the show.  Werewolf 39: Rick and Morty's Rushed Unlicensed Inter-dimensional Adventure is currently in progress.  Will the good Ricks be able to stop the evil Ricks and Dark Morty in time?  Click here to check out the game!

    In Resistance news, the resistance members of 11 took the win away from the spies, but who will be the victors in 12?

    Wouldn't that have been 11 years ago? Not really all that recent. :P Also a little curious about 10000 Islands' current stance on The Pacific, since the NPO is still obviously in power.

    Thanks for the update, though!

    That section was taken from the TITO History topic in our Great Library.  I believe our most recent large-scale TITO mission was helping reclaim the South Pacific (which was a good while ago as well), though don't quote me as we tend to have quite a bit of activity in helping defend other regions...so it's difficult for me to keep up sometimes.   ;D

    I edited the snippet in there at the end of that section so as not to confuse anyone else who is familiar with the material mentioned.  :D

    You said 11 years ago, right?  I would have been a Sophomore when it happened, and I didn't even join Nationstates until the year after.

  • I bring you Warm Greetings from the 10000 Islands!

    In light of our previous Ambassadors understandable immigration to the fair Land of Eternal Winter, the 10000 Islands has appointed me as the new Ambassador to serve between our Regions.  I look forward to strengthened relations between our home regions!

    If you are interested, I would be happy to work with you to set up a sign-up thread and carry your entry information back to our Event Headquarters.

    Again, thank you for the opportunity to extend this hand of friendship.

    the changeling horde
  • Village Drifter
  • Hello to all who inhabit the wonderful region of wintreath!

    I Thechangelinghorde have been sent to fill in the role as ambassador to the chilled land of wintreath.

    Admitting I have no clue why scow had left his position to be are ambassador to this wonderful land but I am not one to dive to deep into questions unless they may effect the job.

    In comparison I will attempt to update whenever news is avaliable and and monthly when I have not updated at all.

    If anyone has any personal questions or questions about the isles pm me the message and I will respond as quick as my schedule applies.

    I am saddened to say however due to the policies placed on my position I am unable to go and speak in your chat room without ramifications from my higher ups.

    Inspite of that I will try to integrate and adapt into certain boards of the form to remain close to you all.

    Before I wrap this up I may want to mention for a majority of my interactions on the forums I will most likely be in character as my nations ruler high queen chrysalis of the changeling horde.

    WARNING:any views and or actions done in character do not reflect the values,actions,political ideals, and or mood/attitude of the 10k islands and are just a fun creative outlet for myself.

    I can't belive I have been sent monitor the situation of a frozen region in the middle of nowhere...

    *the guards look confusingly at the portal tilting there heads in it's direction*

    I mean I am high queen of a legion that conquers entire realms in universes that span into infinity and I am sent to monitor the situation of a land that doesn't even have 1 day that raises over 90 degrees Fahrenheit....

    *a guard closer to the portal then others slowly walks to the rip in time and space to enter through*

    Why am I even listening to the commands of a lower species in the first place I should be ruling over my empire right now! Not monitoring the diplomatic relations of a land ruled by a Dracula lookalike from....

    *you can hear the queen scream what before a sheepish voice replies*

    My queen I am afraid you are audible on the other side of the portal, your wonderful opinion had been heard by the individuals on the other side. The voice slowly like choosing his dieing words declares.

    *you hear a nervous giggle on the other end of the portal*

    Wow this is embarrassing and I am glad I have been informed of the situation, but you have inturupted your queen in the middle of speaking so I guess torture will suffice. The voice repplies to the other as screams and sounds of a broken man eminate from the other end.

    *a stunning pale skined woman with blue green hair and black and green dress enters through the portal walking between the guards and up to a podium*

    I apologize for my lateness, I high queen chrysalis of the changeling horde have arrived to act as ambassador to the 10k islands and am willing to say your people are very strong to deal with this cold...

    *servants dressed in odd clunky metal collars carrying ungodly amounts of baggage arrive through the portal*

    Now if anyone need me I will be by the hearth in the 10k islands embassy. She runs off through another portal of her own creation.

  • Greetings again, and welcome to the region! If there's anything I can do to help you get settled in the region as XKI's ambassador, please let me know. I must say that it's going to be interesting seeing you in character form, since that sort of roleplay is very rare in Wintreath...who knows, it may spur on more roleplay in the region. :P

    As far as I know, Scow left his position and XKI because of restrictions on being able to join multiple militaries...he could not join both TITO and Wintreath's military, the Hvitt Riddaral, as both forbid joining other militaries. He left Wintreath for similar reasons shortly afterwards...I think he just wasn't too into gameplay governments in general.

    You may not be one to dive too deep into questions, but I have no problem answering any curiosities you have. :P
