| The nation of Bullet wounds would like to settle in the eastern tip of the central west continent , please. As much coastline along the northern and westard rivers would be preferred, please. |

| THS government officials would like to request the right 1/2 of the bottom island. Gratzi. (ooc: and i take it that the white island is the representation of a glassed tachbe?) |

Hmmm.... We'll consider your request when finding why/where/when/how ; other wise, HALF the island?? hmmm.... Yes, that is the representation of a Glassed Tachbe. when the Glass is removed and the land is barren, it may be used for research purposes with no official division of land, such as the former Irsland.
PSP
See Above... Wait thats dumb I can copy and paste. That is the representation of the former lands of Tachbe. when the Glass is removed and the land is barren, it may be used for research purposes with no official division of land, such as the former Irsland. You are the first new member since Tachbe has gone so you're lack of knowledge on this is forgivable |

| Posted by: Vilita May 27 2004, 05:27 PM | ||
Bullet Wounds is a recognized "puppet" of another nation in Atlantian Oceania. Theoretically it should be in the region "stars" for nice organized keeping. To quote the "Puppet-Mapping" rules (at the expensive of actually formally writing a global set which will have to be done eventually) This is how it works, This would be considered "Colonization" - You would have to RP on the half of the (MASTER) government claiming something like you discovered the land, there were uncivilized people there, they have agreed to be colonized by (MASTER), keeping there seperation from being an entire entity of Nemya but still integrating with the (MASTER) Government, a whole load like that, making sure it fits in the guidelines set, like making sure you mention why (MASTER) is colonizing the land, etc... |
| Posted by: Holy Saints May 27 2004, 08:09 PM | ||||
well, consdering i have .8 billion people more than Xile, and he has about 4/5ths the size of the amount of land im asking for, i would hope its reasonable, otherwise, i can accept 1/3 as well. |
| Posted by: Vilita May 27 2004, 08:10 PM |
| If you take a cut of the map and draw up a sketch of what you are looking for we can discuss! |
| Posted by: Holy Saints May 27 2004, 09:23 PM |
 seeing as i cant fill in the areas i want with painbucket, thats the best i could do. also, for that small section at the other end, i could RP the 'assimilation'/'takeover' of that area if that is what is required. |
| Posted by: Abattoir May 28 2004, 11:22 AM |
| I wouldn't mind allowing THS to obtain this amount of land since he is now back in the region. Maybe if you post a nice little RP about your inhabitants and a brief history of the culture and how long they've been living there, something of this sort, it would probably be unoppossed. |
| Posted by: Vilita May 28 2004, 11:30 AM |
Agreed, THS may obtain a similar piece of land in the eastern end of the southern island, fitting the general guide set by his mainland inhabitence, pending a descriptive RP about the natives, the acquisition, reason for ac...yea you know the whole 9 yards  |

| Nice new map... I give it an A+! |

| We have mentioned our beautiful South Coast in the past - that area to the south of Abattoir would be most aesthetically pleasing - and a short hop for Vilita for any sporting contest you care to mention. |

Agreed, I would even take it a step higher and say it IS the best. Granted; Closed |
| Posted by: Xile Jun 1 2004, 08:53 AM |
The nation of Xile plans over the next few years to transfer it's entire populace to the region of land just east of Soul Expression. They plan to make the move to
A few rebel holdouts exist, but all remaining after the grace period of the move will be declared expatriates, their citizenships revoked, and further immigration into the area from these people will be processed the same as all others. We expect that only perhaps a few thousand will remain, and these will consist of farmers and their workforce. We will drop all claims to the land, and will not resist against any other nation's will to claim it. We will not answer defense calls from these remainders, unless it is a humanitarian problem. The move begins in the next six months, as New Babylonia is already being constructed to be much more energy efficient. Xile will listen to all complaints from residents of the part of the region, but ultimately will have to make the move regardless of all opposition. Xile requests the aid of Abattoir and THS in this venture, as it would need a small standing force to protect construction of the city and ward of acts of agression while Xilian Forces watch over the old land area to make sure the move goes smoothly. Xile would also appreciate aid from the VOIA to keep its ears and eyes open in terrorist networks to find knowledge of terrorist threats that may be coalescing. Any monetary investments in the creation of this new nation would be issued in the form of stock, which would raise in prices as corporations vied for control of land with a greatly increased value. The city is located at the southeastern part of the landmass, where the rivers(?) converge. To promote unity within the nation about the move, the government of Xile plans to A) Adopt a new flag for all members of the population moving to the area B) Offer tax breaks for all early settlers and corporations to move to the area (OOC: If Vilita or someone would help me in making the new flag, I'd appreciate it, my PSP and photoshop are dead) |

| The Rogue Nation of Milito wishes to settle its people on the north-western tip of the south-western most contenant. Thank you Regional Ambassador from Milito |
| Posted by: Abattoir Jun 3 2004, 08:34 PM |
| Write a little history of your people and its current government, and I will not object. |
| Posted by: Milito Jun 4 2004, 11:38 AM |
| Okay, just to make things clear I would like to settle the north-western (upper-left) tip of the larger PINK landmass (as mentioned in the naming the landmasses post). If this is okay, I will post some historical stuff and RP the colonization in the Regional Discussion fourm. Thank you Regional Ambassador from Milito |

This is fine, RP away! (Also to note, the dark green stuff is marshland so you may want to include that in your RP |

| I don't understand u Vilita, it seems u r going out of ur way to make it difficult 4 everyone. The first thing I mentioned in my request was for Bullet Wounds to connect to Soul Expression's southern borders. Not only was that ignored but you removed Soul Expression form that area. Why is Nojika now strecthed to divide my 2 nations? What happened to Soul Expression's port and shipyards? Are they now Nojika property? |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 8 2004, 06:08 PM |
| nojika also handed in a request to reach the southern border. you specifically requested bullet wounds to have the land where the 3 rivers met, which is something i was against from the start, but have granted to you anyway. originally to get that going there needed to be dual SE/nojika land to connect the two, however to avoid this, i moved SE to the other side of the river so it could have direct close access to BW. this is the best possible scenario with all 4 natiosn. ports and other things were already in place on the new land, so dont worry. trust me i tried 7 or 8 different layouts and this is the one that works out best for everyone. i gave you what you wanted for bullet wounds after always saying you wouldnt get it, and now you complain after that about something else? Everyone wanted the same piece of land, Bullet Wounds, Nojika and Xile. You got it, so be happy. |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 8 2004, 07:45 PM |
| I dint ask for something else. How many people actually read what I write? Go back through all my posts and pms and you will see that from the day Bullet Wounds requested the land, the story has remained the same. Its you who keep bringing in new elements. So basicly, you accomodated everyone who wanted what I had requested. This region has been in existance for who knows how long and only when I arrive and request a spot, does everyone decides they want that exact spot too. And you're trying to accomodate all your buddies, oblivious to my real concerns on the matter, just caring about what you think would make me happy. And then you amazingly wonder why Im not. u say u did all these things I requested but you did none of it. u dint want me in the corner and Im not there, Xile is(u made sure of that), so dont insult me by thinking Im so stupid, I read like others in this region do. And u also made sure Bullet Wounds wasnt touching Soul Expression. In fact, u made it even more of a nuisance for me, inserting a nation to split mine up. The moment I arrived and registered in this forum, u have behaved very unprofessionally. u changed my registered name without asking me or even telling me that u did so. i didnt say a word and just took it in stride. Then, my first action in the region is to request a land extension. It was approved, then erased, then I had to request again and that was stalled for almost 2 weeks. All the while, nations are moving left and right, extensions and puppets and canals. But no, I had to repeat myself over and over again and was only approved when I reposted the original request, go figure. Maybe I should have requested 2 or 3 times from the start. Finally, when the request is finally effected by a very hesitant Vilita, I start to think about my next move, bringing my puppet here, as a few of you suggested. Bullet Wounds arrives in the area and requests a small piece of land and all of a sudden, everyone seems to want it. Shame on all of you greedy f**ks. And shame on Vilita for losing credibility in game management, u'll never be a successful gm with ur dictatorial attitude. Ive manage to accomplish 1 thing here, get a land Extension to the river point but even that has been erased. Yea, I still touch the river, but thats no longer the point now is it? All in all it was a very unproductive few weeks. In fact, Vilita, u r greatly responsible for my wasted time here and I dont hold u in great esteem for it. Now its no longer about getting what I want, its about respect or ur lack thereof. Soul Expression and Bullet Wounds are vacating the regions, it is apparent our kind are not welcome. I hold no ill feelings towards any of u, though Vilita, dont come knocking for any favors. I will still give u a choice. One I always give to any as a chance to redeem their past mistakes or, as a confirmation of intentions. You can say good-bye, we're better off without you(which is what I am expecting) or You will apologize for your lack of respect and my wasted time in YOUR area, where YOU invited me(I don't think u r capable of such humility, it would necessitate a certain amount of wisdom to just see that I speak the truth). Btw, I am an Atlantian. Everything that bares the name Atlantis is my domain. This is the main reason I have stayed when I would have left the moment I realized I was dealing with childishness. GenGangrene1 founded Angels of Avalon and Beyond Atlantis. This, way before I was invited here |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 8 2004, 10:55 PM | ||||||||||||
The telegram I send out to new nations is specific in stating you have to use your NATION NAME when signing up, everyone else did, I wasn't going to make an exception.
I do apologize for that but that was Tachbe's issue not mine, I took over the map as a pre-war map like I have said many times before, anything happening during and after the war was not considered.
In the end, Only Xile and Nojika have requested the same land as you and Nojika is quite obvious why. Xile had offered to move to the other side of the River, but no one posted a definate scenario for me so I just tried to work all 3 nations into the same spot.
If that isn't the point, please explain to me what is, I don't understand it or the purpose of this 'canal'
You can expect what you want but I will never give up on a member who is active and honest, and does not post in kanji. I still hope you remain in the region and we can put the Bullet Wounds affair behind us. I have been in and out of the doctors for the past weeks with some crazy throat problem that no one knew what it was, but i couldn't swallow, eat, or drink without incredible pains. But I've tried by best to read what everyone was doing and think of solutions to the map problems that would keep everyone happy. I drew up nearly 10 different combinations on the section of land in question, just trying to find a way to accomodate all 4 Nations who requested to be in the same exact spot, including ones that had some land under dual ownership to connect SE and BW. I concluded on this one by allowing BW and SE to be opposite each other on the river, the most productive way i could think to solve everything due to the fact that BW requested all the coastland from the eastern point, making it nearly impossible to honor nojika's request for access to southern waters. I am sorry I could not please all with the new map, but if you have any new ideas I would be happy to hear them.
It's nice to know there is another like me out there, in some way |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 9 2004, 12:08 AM | ||
Hmm, how much do you remember? |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 9 2004, 01:23 AM |
| Actually, you said you didn't mind if I created another nation as long as the flag was within reegion specs. You invited the colony of Eric Short from the region Beyond Atlantis. This is not me being difficult because I dont get my way, I am usually quite conciliant but when I join a rp campain, I expect minimum standards that have been lacking here. I have been playing games since before most of you were born as well as effectively run a forum elsewhere as well as assist with the game itself. Go to www.eSorcery.org to see what Im talking about. In the forum, I am the main moderator and in the game, I am #1(hard earned, btw). Suffice it to say I know what I'm talking about. This place needs structure or it will never get off the ground. No amount of charters or organizations will survive without initial stucture. That means, #1, an economy. Going by the NS GDP calc wont do it either because it will not add any structure, just the disproportions between nations will be enough to create more inequity. Then you get game pieces. Swords or spaceships, it doesn't matter, you just need them or war means nothing, nor does peace. So far, you would agree, its been close to anarchy. The proper things to do would have been; 1) Ask me to change my name, I would have done it. Instead, your doing it without warbing me or even telling me afterwards that you did it and why, only offended me, even though I said nothing. 2) Once a request has been approved, you don't reverse that decision. So if a man was shot, he's now unshot? All that did was launch the following. 3) In the Crystilakere affaire, you lost your place in rp. Proper international proceedures would be, who cares what a bunch of tree huggers with poor civil rights think when the mass majority of nations approve. Yet, you insisted I repeat myself or, as you put it, answer the question. I don't care how important a person is here, you still have to maintain your rp despite your personal feelings. 4) When Xile asked for something that was clearly stepping on another's toes, you should of said " you want what?!? Look there's plenty of room and possibilities, settle where ever is not taken, especially that you are leaving forsaken lands in your wake and BW just arrived. Once that is done, Nojika can then decide where they want to expand to. How about if SE requested an expansion to the east to the canal. If anybody wants more, then rp it, negotiate to redefine borders or go to war for territory. But you can only do that if you have a valid economy. 5) All the while you are trying to accomodate your friends, Im still trying to maintain rp. The millions it cost SE, the port I was building, the sea exploration SE was planning, and you were talking to me about accomodating Xile, my flag, my name(I personaly think Bullet Wounds is a great name). The map in the area of SE's expansion has changed so many times, its sad. Before I even arrived, I wanted the center block of the continent because it didn't touch water and it was isolated. Next thing you know, map changes and I now have 2 nations on my borders. Now I have to rerequest that which had already been approved. Bullet Wounds asked to be located touching SE and the canal, it has neither. Why does Xile have to have 2 of 3 corners? All this has flattered me because you all think my ideas are great but trying to steal them from me will not endear youreslf to me. Now, what I would do with the map to accomodate everyone; If its fair you want, you lower Abattoir so they touch canal, You raise Lieno so they also do and you raise BW around the cape(bend) so that all 3 sides are share(to a certain degree) by 2 nations each. Switch Nojika and SE on the map, they'll have their coast to coast there as well. All this has flattered me some for you all thinking my ideas are that good that you would steal them from me, only some though. Mostly, its a quality I dont find endearing. Thou shalt not covet... |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 9 2004, 06:30 AM |
| SE - I did not invite the Colony of Eric Short as that is an odd named nation as well. List some of your other nations and I will tell you which one I invited. I didnt read anything else as I am off to work, will read later |

| Posted by: Holy Saints Jun 9 2004, 12:15 PM |
| wait, if i remember correctly, there was a nation called gengangrene 1, who was quite active on the forums. tell me, did you have a nation called that long ago and when was it active? |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 9 2004, 03:04 PM | ||
| SE, thank you for answering my question. You wonder why I dont give everything to you on a silver platter this is a great example. THS- yes he is GanGrene1 Anyway, to the point, I looked at my saved telegrams and the nation I invited was "The Armed Republic of Tathar Calmcacil"
Certainly a more fitting, unique name than "Soul Expression" or "Bullet Wounds", or whatever name it is you claim i'd invited. |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 9 2004, 03:18 PM | ||||||||||||||||
Ehhh I decided to read it anyway...
Agreed and I think a commitee of you, THS, xile & abbattoir would be perfect to set something like this in place. The proper things to do would have been;
Sorry, this is a personal problem, I am very shy with approaching people about things especially when it is my screw up to begin with, but my girlfriend is working with me on it and we are making progress, i am proud to say.
Like I've said a million times before, I never had anything to do with approving the request. Legislation was passed that stated that RP and such would be required before approval, but Tachbe was pissed about the war and purposely ignored the legislation to spite all of us, this is why when I took over the map I went back to the Pre-War map, because once Tachbe got ticked off he just started throwing things all over the place...
I was affected by the fact that i didnt see anything Crystilakere had done wrong to warrant the accusation that were seemingly being made to counter the request in the expansion RP
Xile is an important member of the region and i was not in a position to deny a good RP. This kind of thing is best settled amongst the nations in question
I'm honestly terrified of death so whenever I see Bullet Wounds I really dont like it, but it's just personal preference i dont have much to do about it. I don't have friends but those who take the time to talk to me on MSN or AIM tend to get more of what they want then those who just post around and what not. The map has changed a lot because of the war and because of the canal being added, which is cool, i like the canal
Like I say I can't speak for anything from before tachbe left, I had ZERO influence on the map then. I don't understand what the difference is from BW being where it is, or 3 pixels higher, it is all the same water system and it is all connected?
I don't understand what Lieno and Abattoir have anything to do with anything, but I would be MORE THAN MORE THAN MORE THAN happy to switch Nojika and SE, If I knew you were open to that kind of thing I would have loved to have done it originally but was afraid everyone would throw a tantrum over nations moving so drastically, and don't tell me standing in my position you wouldnt think that SE would have some harsh words about such a move |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 9 2004, 04:00 PM |
| What u call gloating, I call the only way to prove what I say. Its not like Im trying to gain anything here, Im already well established, with responsibilities, in more than one place. Well, u and ur friends deciding what u want behind closed doors just doesnt do it for me, as Im sure it wont sit well with many people who eventually join. ur going through all these map changes and it never occured to u to talk to me about anything? Did it not occur to u that u might have to talk to me sometime? Would u have had to write so much? My suggestions about Abattoir and Lieno were for fairness in the region. Xile's original request has apparently expanded and now Xile holds 2 corners on 2 continents. If its only a matter of a few milimeters, what difference was it 2 u in the 1st place to make an issue out of it? Every time u speak, u bring up points u dint mention before and I know longer know how to read what u say. |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 9 2004, 04:06 PM |
| Do u find it normal, that with so little accomplished in so much time, I am close to the 3rd highest poster in the region? |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 9 2004, 04:10 PM |
| so Dont Read it, because obviously it's not important enough to you. I'm at the point where i am forced to bring my personal life onto the forums to try an appease to someone who just takes one word that i wrote, focuses on that, and ignores everything else, and that makes ME feel like crap, so i'm not going to bother for the rest of the day, i'm going to do something else, if you have further concerns send them to xile or novus atlantica they are online a lot |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 9 2004, 04:12 PM | ||
You aren't anywhere near it, because ex-nations like mitsunne konno and tachbe who are each well over 600 posts are hidden from the rankings. And no it wouldnt surprise me because you post consecutive posts to add one line when you could have added it to your last post... it's quality that counts and not quantity. A Nation like Nojika who has like 10 or 20 posts is a much better contributor than a nation like stralphi who has a lot more, because stralphi posts just because he can say something. Nojika posts because he has something to say. That saves us all from the crap and nonsense and makes for a better forum environment |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 9 2004, 05:01 PM |
| And what word am I focussing on? u r just being contrdictory for the sake of being so. I have brought up many issues, not focussed on 1 word. Its you who has made me post so much. Anyways, stand your ground all you want, I already backed down. I have said what I needed to say and even repeated it. You dont see anything wrong with your methods and actions, well, you dont have to change anything now. Just keep doing what you do, just without me is all. |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 9 2004, 07:45 PM |
| If you leave it's on your own accord, so don't sit there and blame anyone but yourself as no one has done anything but waste theirown time trying to accomodate you. |
| Posted by: Nojika Jun 9 2004, 08:23 PM |
| Um, yeah I'll have to refuse your offer to switch Nojika's location with SE's... |
| Posted by: Xile Jun 9 2004, 10:39 PM |
| How about you just take me out of that continent altogether and put me above Lieno. I would be just as happy. |
| Posted by: Soul Expression Jun 9 2004, 11:01 PM | ||
Do you actually believe what u say? |
| Posted by: Vilita Jun 10 2004, 05:37 AM |
| Very Confused now As I have no idea where you've manufactured that quote from or what a "volition" is |

He has a point, and a good one at that. You'd never see, in reality, a country called, for example, "France92" or "United States of America12". Otherwise, why are you still complaining Soul, in all seriousness, you've left the region because you can't get your way yet you are still complaining. If you don't want to be here and don't like how things are going, then just leave permanetly, otherwise, deal with it. Mmkay? Mmkay. |
| Posted by: Nova Roma Jun 10 2004, 06:41 PM |
| I am in no way making fun of your name. I asked a simple (apparently not for you) question which you still haven't answered. |
| Posted by: Abattoir Jun 10 2004, 07:28 PM |
| Okay, this discussion should not at all be going on in the regional map thread. That's one of the main problems I have with you SE, you clutter up forums with useless information. How many threads did you bring up the land expansion situation in? I for one, would like my topics to stay on target, and not bring in outside information, regardless of your situation. So if you all would like to talk about this, start a new topic, so this one can remain entirely on expansion needs and not about arguing.

Jesus H Christ, you are a Grade A Snot Nozed Nerd stating 'The world is against me!'. Go screw yourself if thats your belief, cause its not gonna get you -explicitive removed- in this world. Take what you are -explicitive removed-ing given and stop whining. If i had just as many rejections, i would try in another place another time. I would not clutter up everything with insane messages of 'I WANT ATTENTION'. Really, just take what you are given. You are getting on my nerves trying to claim things like this with your -explicitive removed-ing puppet when obviously its a puppet and has no need for land. Move it to a -explicitive removed-ing other region and leave it as is. For christs sake, stop bugging people when they are obviously tired of it and are ready to snap you like wood. Give up. And I restate, in a frustrated notion quite impossible to get through to you: TAKE WHAT YOUR -explicitive removed-ING GIVEN, and LEAVE IT. puppets dont need to be connected. for -explicitive removed-s sake, Vilita could boot my puppet and say move it somewhere because i happen to hate the city of Arnhem, and i would take it and move it. Its a game, so stop whining. |

In fact the mountains are more important than a port, to be honest. Ideally, we would like to fit snugly between the lake and the empty-flagged nation at the northern tip, having the bit of coast between the yellow&black greek flag nation and the empty-flagged one.

| I do not object to him getting the island and helping staff the base, however Lamoni, if you were to help fund the completion of it, you would of course be acting against the better wishes of myself and Kyrentia. This is up to you of course, but with the Olympics upcoming in Kyrentia, any help to re-ignite hostilities would more than likely be frowned upon by other nations within the region. |
| Posted by: Lamoni Aug 24 2004, 05:29 PM | ||
Funding the completion of the base (once it's under Wapahkoneta control) will not reignite hostilities. Nor would Lamoni's help in staffing the base. The Free Republic only plans on using the base to help defend Wapahkoneta (with their agreement). We would not use it to invade ANYONE. Hopefully, that will be acceptable to yourself and Krytenia, but if not, then not. |

I am sorry, I have to retract this statement as it was actually posted by Abattoir who forgot to log out of my account. I do have a problem with it. I have maintained that after myself and Novvs Atlantis eventually do not need the base anymore - then Wapahkoneta make assume control of it. Until this time we need no assistance staffing or funding the project, as it is our project and its use at our sole discretion. Therefore, Lamoni, you will not be allowed to interfere or 'help' the base in any way. And Wapahkoneta, the base will belong to you after all problems with Krytenia/Abattoir will be resolved. |

The sovereignty of Balaal, Queen Masira, request permission to land, and occupy, her 6 milljon people on the main (green) island as shown in picture, keeping a reserve for future expansion on the small neighbouring island on the left.  We are a friendly kingdom who set out to populate a new land after the eviromental destruction of our homelands in a galaxy far away. Our former planet of Balaal suffered from raging ice and snow storms, and eventhough we got accustomed to the weather conditions by moving our beef-production underground, we were no longer able to maintain a steady production in sight of our growing community. After the greatest ice storm in 2000 years, known as Humesi, destroying more then 75% of our upper land resourses, we fled our homes and underground farmlands in search for a new peace, now offering our expertise in underground farming to the regions counsil. You can contact us through our Queen and Goddess, Masira, who wishes you all blue berries. ~o~ |

| Posted by: Big Pimento Oct 28 2004, 04:29 PM | ||
| Origins: Big Pimento was founded when leaders of the Pimana and Huarento tribes signed the Treaty of Lekakis 50 years ago. The city of Lekakis was agreed upon, as it was the midpoint between Pimana territory to the west and Huarento territory to the east. The tribes had been rivalling each other ever since the Huarentos set foot on Big Pimento land over 200 years before. The Huarentos were a violent and nomadic people, willing to fight for territory where ever they went. The Pimanas, a sedentary tribe with a complex structure of government, attempted to resist the invasion of the Huarento through military action, but could not match the level of violence exhibited by the Huarentos. A concession was made splitting the island, leaving the Pimana with approximately 2/3rds of the territory and conceding the remaining eastern third to the Huarentos. However, after a few invasions by various colonialists, chiefs from both tribes realized the best solution for the security of the island was to unite together. After the signing of the Lekakis treaty, the city became known as Pimento City, becoming the capital of the new found nation. Trade: Big Pimento, despite their high regard for human values, often coming at a cost to business and profitability, is enjoying an emerging economy. Retail is by far the biggest industry in Big Pimento, along with notable sized industries in Woodchip Exports and Automobiles. The governments' commitment to reforestation allows the Woodchip industry to be viable, all while not losing the natural beauty of the nation. Big Pimento also exports a large quantity of high quality tropical fruit. Sports: The people of Big Pimento love their sports at all levels from professional to amateur. The nation's national sport has to be that of Basketball, as it holds its place as the nation's most prosporous league, as the Pimento team are one of the top squads in the World (OOC - Speaking of basketball, there's a http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=368829 that's going to get underway). Football is also gaining popularity as the national team continues to enjoy more and more success. Gymnastics are also very popular in Big Pimento, as the nation enjoys a well-coached and well-funded program. The Olympic Games are taking place as we speak and Pimentos are definately counting on good results in artistic gymanstics. Big Pimento are also highly involved in extreme sports or action sports, and plan to hold the first competition of its kind in the near future with the http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=366939. The local game of Three Corners or Triball, which came from the Huarento tribe, is still very popular. The game is played with three teams of four, two attackers, one defender and one pinkeeper. The pin is made from a lightweight wood, measures one metre and stands precariously on its own. In modern times, the ball is an inflated one similar in dimensions to a volleyball. A goal is scored when a player knocks over another team's pin. Contact in the form of hip and shoulder checks are accepted and encouraged. When a team's pin has been knocked over three times, they get knocked out of the game. The last team standing is declared the winner. The field is the shape of an equilateral triangle with each edge measuring 80m. The field is seperated into four zones by a smaller triangle being drawn up at the 40m mark of each edge.
The use of hands is only permitted in the neutral zone (represented by N) and on power plays. Power plays occur when a player commits a foul (Illegal use of hands, wrap tackling, tripping...) and is forced to sit out for 30 seconds. During that time, all players are permitted to use their hands in the guilty players' zone. This greatly helps the attacking teams, as goals are scored when the opposing team's pin has been knocked over and it's a much easier task to do this throwing than kicking and aids in defending since all players can use their hands, contrary to just the pinkeeper. Three corners is unique, as no modern sports require players from opposing teams to co-exist at certain times. According to legend, entire villages would play against each other in ancient times with deaths occuring frequently as a result of settling off-field business. Location: Big Pimento is located on an island on the southern fringes of Atlantian Oceania on a moderately sized island. The island is located to the east of Exham and can be found on the map if you directly follow the straight eastward (The island that remotely looks like Cuba). Neighbours in the surrounding areas are mostly ragtag tribes, somewhat like the Pimana and Huarentos once were, not having yet organized themselves for national status. These areas have yet to have been colonized by industrialized nations also. |

Cheers The Protectorate of Legalese Founded by a group of exiled lawyers, Legalese has grown to incorporate 350 million citizens. The capital is in Legalese City, in the center of the state, with additional cities serving as hubs for the mini-regions within the Protectorate. The passions of the Legalites lie in Sports, as well as the Law. 75% of the adult population is trained in the law, having received their Juris Doctorate at one of Legalese's publicly-financed universities. In the sporting realm, Legalese's latest endeavour has been the Legalese Association Football Confederation, which governs the game known inside the country as soccer. The Black and Red, so named after the national colors, have quickly risen to contention for a World Cup spot, having finished as runner-up in the Tenth Cup of Harmony. Legalese's domestic league, the Legalese Soccer Championships, will soon be underway as well. Additionally, Legalese has fielded a national team in Cricket, holding a place in the INSCC. Legalese is located on Atlantian Oceania's largest island, sharing a small portion of coast line on the lake set internally within the Island itself. Neighbors include Starbladyia to the North, as well as NEWI Cefn Druids to the west. |

| Posted by: South Osettia Dec 6 2004, 02:45 PM |
| After South Osettia's breakaway from the Republic of Georgia, and the election of Eduard Shevarnadze as national leader, the army placed C4 along the border between South Osettia and the rest of Georgia. At 0515 GMT this morning, a detonation party was held, during which the borders were blown up, thus turning South Osettia into an island. Unfortunately, the army calculations were slightly incorrect, and a small part of South Osettia broke off, forming a separate island. Nevertheless, the air force succeeded in transporting the two islands of South Osettia to their current location, Atlantian Ocenia. The two islands, aptly named East South Osettia and West South Osettia, can be located to the north of Nova Brittanicus and to the west of Ainorpisp. East South Osettia is home to all the major industrial cities, such as Ts'khinvali and Tblisi, whereas West South Osettia is a rural/residential island. The Eastern island has a population of 7 million, and the Western island 2 million (although these values are multiplying everyday). The islands are to be connected by a bridge, the name of which is still to be decided upon, which should be completed within the next few years. |

IT is said he started of as a free civil rights activist, but has moved towards economic rule. At the momment, they are tyring to encorperate larger corperations to go with the nations extreme uranium harvesters. The Kingdom was founded only around two months ago, but is fastly developing into a large and powerful nation. It has a little over 500 million residents and is gaining very quickly. In its short history, King Phoenix III had started a region with people from a video game music forum and turned it into a region, but with dwindling interest from the other nations, The Kingdom of Fmjphoenix took its leave and went to New York, where it resided for a few weeks. There it immediatly was entered inbetween a war between two nations for it was located on the borders of both of the nations. After the minor war that King Phoenix III had decided to enlarge its defense and security. After a the Regional Delegate was overtaken, Fmjphoenix's major ally in the region was taken out of its position and left. After that happened, King Phoenix III needed to find a more hospitle region, as arguements aroused within and conflict was inevitable and King Phoenix III had no want to place Fmjphoeinx into any type of problems where he had no allies. Thus begot the move to Atlantian Oceania, where The Kingdom of Fmjphoenix has meet several nations and leaders through the great sport of football. Now that it resides in Atlantian Oceania, it is looking for a good place to be, and it was looking for a nice large island, like the area at the bottom-left of the map. King Phoenix III asks if it would be allowed to set up its entirety there. [ooc]is that good? i am still learning |

| Right. We've moved in, apparently - and even though we haven't limited ourselves to geography before, this may be a good time to start. The Street - by virtue of its name (yes, it's probably not ONE street any more, but we kept the name because it sounds nice) - would probably be a long and thin landmass, preferably on the green land east of Xile, for example. We'd like a coastline - because Streetian technology is so backward, all travel in and out of the country has to be done either by ship or by zeppelin. Also, given that the large troll and dwarf population has to have come from somewhere, we'd like some mountains and caves inland.

| Florianopolis wishes to describe its area of habitation on the regional map. The area lies in the Pink realm; the slender coastline west of Fmjpheonix, and desires to include the two small islands directly off the western coast. A relaxed, developing tropical nation, Florianopolis offers a stunning environment of low lying mountains descending to white sand beaches boasting excellent surfing and snorkeling/diving opportunities. This contrasts with popular hiking and mountain biking opportunities between the peppering of smalls towns and villages, mainly along the coast and some inland. The country itself is still developing economically after a long bout with a corrupt dictatorship, which while not violent or terribly oppressive, cares more for its own longevity then the countries wellbeing. From this experience, the people of Florianopolis are generally an easy going bunch, particular to recreation and very social. Some may find them boisterous and annoying at times, but are good hearted and very friendly towards each other as well as tourists and foreigners. The first comprehensive census is underway, with the results forthcoming.   |

The nation is extremely diverse, from large snowy mountain ranges to tight sunny mountain cities with large open land to forested areas. There are no smaller towns except farming and other agriculturally producing collectives. Mescar Mountain Range is one of the most beautiful areas in Emagol  |

Emagol - Please RP the acquisition of the land. There is an RP idea, if you search the forums look for all posts by the nation "Taaru". This nation used to reside on those lands, you can RP something related to taking the land from them if you want  |

| On the grounds that our two-and-three-quarters-of-a-million people are beginning to feel extremely crowded in what you must admit is a rather small amount of land, even I, Emperor Pedro IV, must acknowledge the people's request for an additional appropriation of land for the Empire of Pedriana. As Emperor, I believe the land most appropriate to the desires of the people lies to the north. However, as I am their evil Emperor, I must instead request an appropriation of land to the east and southeast, down to the northern border of the newly-united Druida and the western shore of the great Bekk Lake. |

I assume its Estryck. And *another* Bekkside nation? Bloomin' 'eck. |

On a side note, would it help if I had seperate IDs for West and East Ainorpisp? West Ainorpisp is my main country here now, so the East could be considered a puppet, if that helps. |

| It was a tense time. The massive fleet of transports moved forward at the highest possible speed, however, this was low as several vessels had to be towed, their engines having given out, or been rendered inoperable due to battle damage. Malnuitrition, poor sanitation, and overcrowing had become a serious problem, numerous vessels having had to been abandoned. Fortunately, the end was in sight. Their sanctuary, the waters of Sarzonia, were ahead. Sarzonia had sent out a group of anti-air craft destoyers to defend the fleet from the constant harrasment of the Inter-Regional "Peace" Conference of the RIA's long range fighter bombers. The attacks had subsided for several days, and the civilians aboard the transports prayed they had finally eluded their grasp. 12 minutes away from the rendevous point with the destroyer group and safety at last, long range radar on the last remaining AWACS plane from the only remaining carrier, a Publius-class battle carrier built by Portland Iron Works, warned of incoming fighter/bombers. The only 2 ships left in the once proud Rylossian navy readied what was left of their weapons. They were the only survivors of the delaying attack made by the entire Rylossian navy. The survivors had limped back, the Publius-battlecarrier and a Calypso-class dreadnought. The numerous machinegun emplacements hastily welded onto some of the less damaged transports were quickly manned, though these were more for the morale of the civilians than defense. The attackers came into view, and the fleet opened fire. The sheer amount of tracer rounds being fired in various directions made the scene appear to be an upside down rainstorm in a strong wind, where the rain drops are light. Various emplacements tracked numerous fighters, not attempting to destroy, just keeping them from attacking until they rendevoused with the destroyer group sent by Sarzonia. As ammunition stores grew low, guns began clicking empty. Gunners dropped to their needs, feeling physically struck down with the need to pray for their loved ones, doing the last thing they could to protect them. Those who were armed, staggered to their feet and began firing at the jet bombers with handguns, feeling the need to do something. At last, the guns of the remaining 'navy' fell silent, having no more rounds to fire. All who saw closed their eyes and prayed, bracing themselves for the explosions they knew to be imminent. They did come, and forcefully, knocking down many on the decks of the ship. All was quiet for a while, then a brave soul opened his eyes, and saw not the face of God, but a group of destroyer's, bearing the proud flag of SARZONIA! 3 days later: After the sick and wounded had been evacuated to Sarzonian hospitals, the remaining goverment of Ryloss submitted a formal request for asylum and the right to colonize the area of land just northeast of Sarzonia. (OOC: How's that? First real NS RP I've done where I care about what the reader's think. It's late, and not very good, so I'll clean it up tomorrow and add a section where the refugees begin rebuilding.) |

| Posted by: Nova Mercia Mar 30 2005, 10:40 PM |
| OOC: Can't put this anywhere else, so... NOVA MERCIA FACTFILE Nova Mercia was, until recently, a governed colony of Krytenia until they declared independence during the South Cove Conflict. First Minister Douglas Gould recently met with the Krytenian government to discuss the future of the state, and the two nations will now remain independent, whilst retaining trade and logistical links under the newly-formed Krytenian Union. There are just under two hundred million people living in Nova Mercia, of which roughly 12.5 million live in the nation's capital, Bromham. They live under the rule of the autocratic First Minister (a relic of a title, left from colonial times), who controls much of the state's business enterprises - though much money is brought into the contry from Krytenian mining operations. Much of the land is a mix of urban sprawl surrounded by green belt, however Heforia and Rutelia contain much beautiful scenery, and are popular with Mercian tourists. Nova Mercia requests a piece of land directly south of Krytenia, on the north-west coastline of the continent there (OOC: Can't remember the colour off-hand, it's the one CS is on.) |

Bedistan plans to occupy the land south of Abattoir and the Lowland Clans and north and east of Krytenia, as well as a strip along the east coast of the continent south of there continuing to the border with Cockbill Street. In addition, we claim at least one of the islands just west of Sarzonia. |

The point is that I asked what I needed to do to claim the THREE islands close to my land mass, I was told I had to RP out their discovery and place the claim legitimately and I did those things. ONE of the three islands was shaded in blue for a while and then was UNSHADED later on. |
| Posted by: Bedistan Apr 8 2005, 06:23 PM | ||||

| hello, I've moved in and posted a nice story as to why I am coming to AO. I'd like the area between Lamoni and Holy Saints. Not all of it, I don't want to be South of Lamoni, just go right up to him. Best I can tell, that's about as much land as the other countries that have as many people as I have have within their borders. I'd have to go red with my color....blood red. Not saying I'm warlike, just that it matches colors I have already established for my country. |
| Posted by: Nedalia Apr 13 2005, 10:58 PM |
| OOC: I dont know if I get to pick where I want Nedalia to be, but if possible, the land between Lamoni and Holy Saints would be a good location. If thats not possible, there is an island in the north of the map that is unoccupied, the rather large one. IC: Not much is known about the history of Nedalia as the recorded history of the nation are closely guarded in the capital of Kafra, held in the highest level of secrecy. Having been an isolationist country until recently, it was the President Bren, a very liberal globalist, who opened Nedalia's door to the outside world. What is known about Nedalia is that it was not always as united as it is now. The country's Christian and Shi'te Muslim sects are the majority in the country, and appear to live in perfect harmony, but sometime during the country's history, it is known that there was battles that took place. Now that Nedalians have access to the outside world (or universe I should say), there are stories that have been revealed. The most famous ones are about a national legend called Nedal, the man who the country was supposedly named after. It is not known for sure whether this man was myth and legend, or actually existed, but the tales of his heroics are known by every Nedalian alive. It is unclear when this legendary man lived, but it is believed that he was responsible for taking down a magical, very powerful evil in an epic battle, and brought Nedalia together as one nation. However, what is clear is that as time goes by, more and more will be known about the country's mythical history... |

| Posted by: Vilita Apr 16 2005, 01:45 PM |
| Aye, Weather patterns are independent. Vilita is obviously a very tropical area, and it's smack in the middle, so take from that what you want Latao - they aren't country codes, just labels. I'd prefer to keep it "Lt" as it's easily identifiable with "Latao" - if i changed it to "CL" it would make people think it was some nation starting with a C. Again, not official Country Codes, those can be whatever you would like, and would make for an interesting topic under National Information. |

| The southern coastline of Land No. 20 is currently being colonized by Nedalia. Could you add that in as well? |

| Could I get a closeup map of Nedalia, if possible? |
| Posted by: Khazaron Apr 27 2005, 11:35 PM |
| Well, I've been told I should come in here and request a homeland to make things official. So here goes. I was thinking maybe the area of 14, next to Nova Roma, if that seems ok with everyone. I'll posts some stuff about my nation's history, or if you would prefer I could just post a link to that news report I had in my first post. Either way, just let me know. Also, thanks to everyone for welcoming me to the region. |

| Hi all. Time for me to get a bit of AO real estate. First of all, a bit of information about your friendly neighbourhood BofF Cup winners... I'm currently working on my http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Bettia, so there a bit of info on that. Hopefully I can expand on that on here as time goes on (maybe after the World Cup finishes). As for which plotof land I fancy... well I don't fancy anything TOO big - we're only a small-ish country. Land borders with some friendly neighbours would help, and seeing as Bettia was a landlocked mountainous country before we decided to move to the seaside, I think an area like #20 will suit us down to the ground. Just one thing though - where's the border between 20 and 21? |
| Posted by: Vilita Apr 28 2005, 06:49 AM | ||
That gets determined by the magic map maker when he re-draws the map based and highly prejudice from the amount and quality of your RP contributions to the region since signing up |
| Posted by: Bedistan Apr 28 2005, 07:53 PM |
| Say, Vilita, any chance you could get a hi-res map of the Bedistan area to me? My national map needs an update. Then again, on second thought, it can wait until you've placed Bettia on the map. More new neighbors for more World Cup rivalries. |

| The Free Republic requests the strip of unclaimed land to our north since we have been militarily occupying it since the failed Novvs Atlantian invasion. |
| Posted by: Nojika Apr 30 2005, 05:15 PM | ||
Sorry to rain on your parade but that land is not 'unclaimed'. Nojika has claimed it and is currently in the process in gaining legal rights to the land. Not to mention, Nojika paid for the land. |

| Vilita, is it possible, as Bedistan requested, to get a closeup of Nedalia? |
| Posted by: Vilita May 2 2005, 09:01 PM | ||
Noted, and yes i will provide closeups, hopefully sometime this week. |

| I don't suppose I could lay claim to plot no. 14 for my country, Lesser Ribena? I realise that I need to make a country factfile post, but can't get access to the National Information Board. Is it locked or do I need some sort of access clearance? |
| Posted by: Hypocria May 10 2005, 02:00 PM |
| Would it be possible for the helicopters to set Hypocria down in 12? I'm working on a national factbook and i'll post it ASAP. |
| Posted by: Vilita May 10 2005, 02:12 PM | ||
14 has already been requested |
| Posted by: Hypocria May 10 2005, 02:35 PM |
| Is 12 a possibility? |
| Posted by: Vilita May 10 2005, 03:01 PM |
| Yes, but not until we get a permanent flag for you, which is good however, it gives you more time to RP. The more participant you are, the more likely to get a generous plot of land |
| Posted by: Hypocria May 10 2005, 04:26 PM | ||
I some point i will find i flag i want to stick with. You know what they say, fifth time lucky. Oh and when you say more time to RP do you mean in the form of a factbook? (god, im such a newbie  ) |
| Posted by: Starblaydia May 10 2005, 04:31 PM |
| As long as you've got a realistic-looking flag which isn't a real-life one, you can keep changing it if you want to, its your nation And the RP is all sorts of RPs.... a factbook thread is most common, but you've started well with your diplomatic ties and your football manager threads. Post a little something about your nation and it's people and you'll get a nice spot of land, I'm sure. |
| Posted by: Lesser Ribena May 11 2005, 02:04 AM | ||
Ah OK then, maybe I can have 16, 15 or 10. It's just that I want a rough idea of the sort of physical appearence that my country will have before I write my factbook. It may affect the political system and whatever and I prefer island nations. Is this OK? If so i'll get my factbook up this afternoon after I get back from school providing all goes well. |
| Posted by: Latao May 11 2005, 02:13 AM |
| Geoligical aspects affect the political system ? Like democracy is not possible above 1000 meter over sea level ? ;-) |
| Posted by: Lesser Ribena May 11 2005, 10:15 AM |
| Well not quite as dramatic as that! But if I have a lot of small widespread islands then i'd have to have a larger administration sector and divide up into states in a different way than if I had one large landmass. It's no big deal and I can always amend my factbook at a later date. Speaking of which I should be able to get one up soon. Just need to finish a few things off... |
| Posted by: Lesser Ribena May 11 2005, 11:16 AM |
| OK I have my factbook ready to post, at last! It seems that I can't start a new topic on the national info board. Is there anyway I can rectify this? |
| Posted by: Vilita May 11 2005, 12:34 PM |
| By posting more than in the map thread |

| I previously asked about the availability of #12 and I just thought I’d say why that particular area interests me and that it wasn’t just a random choice. I originally planed for Hypocria to be completely landlocked but as this would create obvious limitations a small coastline is desirable. Now if I’m reading the border between #11 and #12 right then there is a nice small stretch of coastline (aside from Lake Bekk of course) in the north between #11 and Nova Britannicus which would be ideal. Also living next door to a number of footballing nations would create the opportunity for a few local derbies and #12 shares borders with Nova Britannicus, Druida and Starblaydia. Plus being a native Brit I’d quite like Hypocria to be reasonably close to the cold north to provide some nice British weather, again #12 would be perfect. See, there is method behind the madness . |
| Posted by: Starblaydia May 12 2005, 06:26 PM | ||
The darker-shaded area of 11 is where Xile used to be, and it makes an obvious visual border for 11 and 12. Bear in mind also that the territory that 12 seems to encompass is actually a -explicitive removed-load of territory for a 250 mil nation And oh dear god how I hate having so many bloomin' Bekkside derbys... there's too many already, its worse than London teams in the Premiership. |
| Posted by: Vilita May 12 2005, 06:40 PM |
| Obviously the numbers represent general areas, and unless it is an island, does not encompass the actual landmass you will receive, just that it will be in the vacinity of that number. AS for the Shaded lands of Xile, there are hostile natives left behind in old babylonia, so buyer beware. |
| Posted by: Hypocria May 13 2005, 05:45 AM |
| I’m painfully aware of how ridiculous this will sound when you consider my previous post but here goes . . . After praising everything about #12 I started thinking (which is always dangerous) that perhaps there is a location more suited to our status as region new boys. Consequently, if at all possible, I’d like to amend my request to location #21. It is a lot smaller and it’s out of the way (giving me a chance to build up my reputation in the region, which will be sorely needed after this I reckon). Although it has more coastline than I originally wanted that isn’t really a problem, plus those small islands to the south could make for some interesting RP ideas. Yes I am an indecisive fool  .I’m really sorry for messing everyone about like this and I hereby swear on The Holy Hyppo of Hypocria that this is the last request I make concerning nation placements in this thread. From now on it will be RPs all the way. *Dives out of nearest window before the yelling starts. Unfortunately this particular window is shut and there is no dramatic, Hollywood style sound, of smashing glass, more a dull thud followed by groaning* |
| Posted by: Spruitland May 13 2005, 09:29 AM |
| The Spruitland government has decided to participate in the Atlantian Oceania Land Race and would like to indictate their preference to plant a flag in area #15. Being an island nation, this area seems most compatible with Spruitland's current map (on the wiki page for those interested), and it would allow me to roughly keep the relative locations of my cities. I'll need to flip the map a bit, and tighten it up somewhat, but that's not a big deal. There are a few other islands which would match the description, but none of those seem available at the moment, so 15 would suit us just fine. |
| Posted by: Krytenia May 13 2005, 09:58 PM |
| As per the thread "Uproar in Outer Cities", the 18-month (RL: six week) period of transition has now occured and these lands are now officially Krytenian. Map of new acquisition is in the above thread. |
| Posted by: Bettia May 17 2005, 03:49 AM |
| Would it be possible to confirm whether our claim for plot 20 has been accepted or not, and what the exact border is between 20 and 21? We're only asking because our crack team of cartographers are itching to prepare roadmaps of our fair nation but are currently unable to do so. Even as we speak, thousands of motorists are getting lost because their road atlases are so badly out of date. |

| NEWI Cefn Druids would like to claim the smallest island of the group numbered 10, as RPed in the thread "A New Star?" |
| Posted by: Lesser Ribena May 17 2005, 02:59 PM |
| Would it be possible for Lesser Ribena to stake a claim on the no. 16 island group please? I am waiting to make a map of my area for RP purposes and just so I can work out where to station my military. My factbook is up and I have RPed a welcome thread as well as military purchases. Is that enough or is more needed? |
| Posted by: The Eagles Nest May 19 2005, 05:05 PM |
| FYI, i'm going to post a thread about wanting one or two of the two islands just SW of my current state sometime this weekend. I don't have time today because I am about to leave for Star Was Ep. III, but I might be able tomorrow. Just noting the OCC post. IC request to follow tomorrow or Saturday by the latest. |
