I no longer care for anthems, and I no longer care even for nations. They too are transient. The truth of who we are lies elsewhere, in the way we order our inner lives as we drift over unknown seas. (Arnold Zable, "Cafe Scheherazade")

Origin

</div>

When Errinundera moved to Forest, the founder, Devdan, had already faded away. A fragment of the World Factbook Entry is remembered from that time: "The Region of Forest is rich with wildlife of all shapes and sizes and is completely covered by a large forest."

Errinundera was elected delegate to the United Nations on 3 May 2006 and was able to re-activate regional control.

Another nation that faded away was The Free Land of Hope in Nature. It had an appropriate motto: "Without nature, we are nothing".

Events

Nations affiliated with the region of Silent attempted to region crash Forest on 3 July 2006. Errinundera ejected and banned the nations. Another attempt was made on 7 July. Again the invaders were ejected and banned.

After more unsuccessful invasions, the region was successfully crashed on 19 November 2006 by a group calling themselves The Black Hawks with assistance from "Dream Raiders". Wicketkeeper became the new UN delegate.

On 23 November 2006 the invaders departed leaving everyone scratching their heads. Errinundera resumed as delegate until late February 2007 when, believing that membership held back their political development, they resigned from the UN.

The Dawn Tiger found themselves as a reluctant delegate until, by mutual agreement, Ransium took over the position on 20 March 2007.

The founder of the region, Devdan was resurrected on 27 March 2007 but, to date, has not visited its former home or responded to any contact from other nations.

In an effort to allow Errinundera to become the new founder of Forest, on 1 June 2007 Ransium's established Forest 2, and encouraged all members of Forest to move there temporarily. By June 5th, all nations but Errinundera and his puppets had either left Forest for Forest 2 or were ejected from forest.

Forest was refounded on 8 June 2007 (9 June for some, depending on longitude) by Errinundera. A new age for the region began at this time. Developments progressed rapidly. A forum was established at NationStates Forest on 10 June 2007; a recruiting nation, The Growing Forest was established on 24 June 2007 and targeted recruiting began on 27 June 2007 using words by Ransium and artwork by My Beloved Lúthien.
