How to Acquire a Homeland:
1) To Acquire a homeland, you must reply in this thread noting the location you which to inhabit. A Homeland will not be granted unless you first post a little something about your nation. - http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=213 - http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=152 -

2) When responding in this thread, you must decide which area of the map you would like to settle. Simply tell us which area you would prefer to settle into uing the handy numbers. You can see which continent is which with our also-handy http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185 )

3) Link to your RP when requesting land in this thread

3) Nations in breach of the http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95 will not be granted land until after they have updated their flag.


The How to Expand / Conquer Existing Land (Under Review):

To prevent excess land being taken on the Regional Map by anyone, The following guidelines should be followed before a Nation acquires new land via expansion or colonization through a puppet.


a ) If Expansion is un-oppossed, an approved RP will be required detailing the discovery, acquisition and future usage of the new lands; Before the land will be granted.

b ) If Expansion is opposed, Both sides will have to prevent their case to the council who will make a decision, at which point, an approved RP will be required detailing the discovery, acquisition and future usage of the new lands; Before the land will be granted.

Map updated 2006–07–10:
  • Added Abattoir [ABA].
  • Added Hiiraan [HIR].
  • Added Neu Amerika [NEA].
  • Added Rendition [REN].
  • Did not add Carrar due to Vilita’s laziness.
  • Did not add My Patio due to United Meridian’s lack of unique flag.
  • Did not add United Meridian due to lack of unique flag.
  • Changed all of the codes to three letters, to avoid ugly name collisions like Casari/Carrar, neu amerika/USSNA, and Chacor/Chicanada/Commerce Heights/Communist Heights. The new legend is at the end of this post.
  • Labeled Eystrck [EYS], Tachbe [TCH], and Wapahkoneta [WAP], in an attempt to help avoid confusion. Star, please make a note in the first post that these nations don’t exist; hopefully no random n00bs will have to ask about them again. tongue.gif

Yes, but you didn't ask for it. If I can't have 7, though I've been here a lot longer than Qutar, could I have drawn up a few very small islands somewhere in the North-West?

I don't suppose you could shift Quirris's border just a little bit smaller? That way I don't have to share the border. It doesn't look very tidy.

Professor Christopher Ash of the Royal Cartographical Association has been doing detailed research in tandem with Professor Harman Scout, formerly of the Falcanian Space Project, into the satellite technology used to map the region of Atlantian Oceania. They have concluded that imperfections in the radio transmitter could have resulted in a distorted image of the south of the region, in particular Falcania. The current portrayal of Falcania, Quirrith and Eastern Hypocria looks like this:

Accounting for radiographical error, the scientists have concluded that the principal Falcanian landmass is much larger than previously considered. The revised version of the above map reads thusly:

The RCA have published the following revision into the existing mapping data, and produced the following, more accurate map of Atlantian Oceania:

King Alfons urgently wonders why the fine nation of Spruitland is no longer designated on the map with the traditional "SPR" but with a 1. We managed to calm down His Majesty for the time being by explaining that it is our AOCAF ranking, but please correct this mistake before he finds out the truth, thank you.

Az-cz would like to request number 17.

That way we're just a quick boat ride from Bazalonia to teach them Kleptochase, learn Bazalope racing, or just for a quick cuddle.

Posted by: Vilita Aug 15 2006, 11:43 PM
As a new nation it would be fair to assume that you will not be awarded the full plot as it is a large plot, but a good question is, assuming you would like a border to the north, would you also prefer sharing a border with Nedalia, or on the other side with fmjphoenix?

Île-Royale too, but some random guy (If I didn't want to name him, I'd say Bedi) gave it to me. Now, as far as it goes, I'd let Khazaron get that island. It is too little for any new nation to get there anyway

EDIT: YAY! 100th post!!

Posted by: Az-cz Aug 16 2006, 12:18 AM
If I have to choose I'll take a border with Nedalia. That way it's easy come easy go for worldcup qualifying. However, since I'm an oughly active new region........

  • Re-added Spruitland [SPR].

  • Adjusted the border of Quirrith.
  • Enlarged The Islands of Qutar.
  • Did not add Demot, as all of Spruitland’s land was returned to them.
  • Did not expand Falcania due to anti-expansion policy and lack of RP.
  • Removed Atheistic Right.
  • Removed Legalese.
  • Removed Nova Roma.
  • Removed Ryloss.
  • Removed Space Union.

Unlikely, I think, the map fills up incredibly fast when expansions come along, leaving very little room for new nations. In addition to the downsizing that'll happen with a bit of this Quirrithian Plague on the inactive nations with too much land, we should have enough for another bout of nations, should one come along.

Posted by: Geisenfried Aug 16 2006, 08:07 PM
It's simply that the south-east of #18 would put you right next to me, and I'm not looking for neighbors. If you want a piece of #18, how about trying somewhere closer to Lamoni?

Posted by: Vilita Aug 17 2006, 09:17 PM
The only way to settle this dispute is to RP it.

If you want the demottian ships carrying millions of demottian citizens to land on a different part of the shore, i suggest you start firing arrows... or missiles, depending on your tech level, accross their bows smile.gif

Posted by: Geisenfried Aug 18 2006, 03:23 PM
I wasn't talking about against AO in general, just Demot, Star. I know my defense budget's pitiful in comparison to yours. If someone like you decided to move next door, I'd learn to live with it.

Posted by: Khazaron Aug 18 2006, 03:32 PM
Not to sound mean, but what does their defense budget have to do with whether or not you could live with them as a neighbor? If anything I personally would want weaker nations next to mine so I knew I had nothing to fear. I just don't understand why you don't want a neighbor. The spot will fill up sooner or latter.

Of course, as the great philosopher Dennis Miller said "That's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

Posted by: Geisenfried Aug 18 2006, 04:39 PM
Right now, I just don't want any neighbors. The difference is that a weak one I can scare off, a strong one I can't.

Why do that when it's probably not going to change anything in the end? I don't know, maybe I'm holding out some hope I can expand, or maybe I just want to remain neighborless with the exception of Milchama. Or maybe I plan on bringing in a puppet I want to have nearby. Who knows?

I do, but I don't feel like being straight-forward. tongue.gif

The point I think was more on the lines of, if you want to attack Demot just because he's moving near you, you'll have a lot bigger problems to deal with than demot.

In the meantime, I will content myself with a like to Footballia's http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Greater_Footballia. We will also strive to be more active in the region this time.

Posted by: Frontene Nov 23 2006, 11:43 AM
Just a couple of things before I actually get down to posting the damn thing; it takes a couple of liberties with other nations, namely a unit of Crystilakerian troops and the leader of a nation I haven't decided upon (doesn't really matter who it is, I just need somebody of note to formally welcome our nation into the region). Further, the island will effectively become a no-go zone for the sides in Operation Galactica, but this is something "I" will address further later on.

Yes, an RP will be required.

Ah....It's nice to finally be back on the map...

Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Dec 12 2006, 01:29 AM
This sounds like a dumb question I'm sure, but I'm trying to get a better sense of what's happened around here by reading previous threads, the archives, and some of the entries on NSwiki, but one thing I keep wondering is what is the scale of the regional map? How many miles (or km) per 10 pixels or whatever?

Posted by: Bazalonia Dec 12 2006, 01:41 AM
The Simple answer is that Scales are upto Individual Nations... It has been commented in fact that it can be shorter going "the long way" to some destination then going "the direct line"

but yeah... no officially defined regional map scale

Posted by: Az-cz Dec 12 2006, 10:59 AM
and that goes for many other things as well, such as time. There are a few things that are set (AOCAF rankings) for example, but most things are pretty danged flexible.

Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Dec 12 2006, 09:29 PM
Thanks, and I think I figured out what you mean by time, Ac-Cz, since I read about AOTC and not everyone liked it or wanted to use it, and looking at some of the AOCAF rosters and some teams get 4 years older every year, some don't, some... ??? And, on the same token, the amount of time between 12-11-06 and 12-12-06 IRL is different than 12-12-06 and 12-13-06 IRL.

So it sounds like this region is based on string theory - time and space are an illusion (or, at least that's what I read about it); and if someone RPs an event/distance/etc., than it becomes valid unless deemed invalid.

This is all good to know, since I was getting ready to do an RP for a place on the map.

I'm sure those words by themselves make some sense - even maybe when grouped in small phrases. But as for an actual paragraph or two?

Not a clue what you're on about.

Posted by: Bazalonia Dec 14 2006, 08:49 PM
Basically while reading up on things like the AOTC he noticed that....

Not everyone uses AOTC
People Age differently in AOCAF rosters (ie one teams players Age 4 years while others don't)
That IC time that had passed between 11th and 12 of dec where differnt to the IC time that had passed between the 12 and 13th of Dec.

In the 2nd paragraph he was saying that time and space is very flexible in AO and as long as it's not accepted due to various circumstances then it's what it is.

Star,

It happens so often that you don't understand something that when you say it as a joke we can't tell. We have to explain everything to you using very small words, so....

This is Bettia's puppet Morgrugyn requesting spot #4 (the narrow strip to the north of Bettia stretching to the eastern corner of Verdena). The RP about its formation can be found here:

*curses* I was going to come back and get that land (what with it being formerly Druida). Well, it could all prove quite interesting...

Posted by: Starblaydia Jan 10 2007, 11:23 AM
I'm sure it could be divided up - Druida does have a history of being in lots of little bits (NEWI, Druida, Flexsys etc)

Well, Druida will be laying claim to any of area 12 not claimed already. This will be RPed gradually in the thread "We Are Not Hockey Canadian".

The Federation of Ubundi would like to claim number 10. Our nation fact book can be viewed http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1875&st=0&#entry17364.

I would like 8, if that is at all possible.

Schiavonia has recently entered Atlantian Oceania, but already has a http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/NEWI/Schiavone%20maps/schiavoniamap.gif.

If at all possible, we would like to be located just to the north east of Qutar and north of Dorian and Sonya. Somewhere around there. And a guide to scale would be that the large island in the south east should be approximately a half the size of Dorian and Sonya's main island. All that's for if we're considered deserving of a spot on the map. And CH ever gets bored enough. Forty-six islands is a lot.

I'm sure a lot of AO nations will already know Schiavonia from their exploits in the World Cup, but for those of you who don't, http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Schiavonia's a little something about who we are. Or, in some parts, were.

Number 4 has already been requested, but we'll see how CH (or whoever does the next version of the map) divides it up.

Posted by: Falcania Apr 11 2007, 04:55 AM
4 has indeed been requested, more than six months ago. They didn't follow up on it, and CH ignored it in his next update.

I say go for it - we freak folk love neighbours.

Posted by: Bettia Apr 11 2007, 05:19 AM
Ah yes, so it was. However, the nation who requested has now joined The League.

As for dividing #4 up, I wouldn't really mind. A good halfway point would be where the Hypocrian border juts up a bit towards the Falcanian border.

Posted by: Western Afghanistan Apr 17 2007, 10:21 AM
Hey can I request a map plot? The only problem is that I already have a map (http://www.freewebs.com/abduldukhirahiq/Western%20Afghanistan%20Map%205.bmp); plus I am hoping I can find a place that's landlocked. Could I just get like a tiny chunk in the middle of either 8, 10, or 18? I don't need the whole thing, Western Afghanistan is really small.
