| Our current cartographer is Commerce Heights. Full-size map (2406×2106): http://www.thirdgeek.com/maps/ao/cities/ Claims map: http://www.thirdgeek.com/maps/ao/ Nations with grayed-out abbreviations are puppets. Brown areas are ex-nations which are reserved for various reasons. The numbered regions are unclaimed. There is no defined scale for the map; each nation can decide how much land their area on the map represents. 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 Key (note: Eystrck [EYS], Sorthern Northland [SNO], Tachbe [TCH], and Wapahkoneta [WAP] are all former nations with their lands reserved for other usages):

| Per the http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2289 thread, the city of "Irougil" is no longer inhabited. The location of the new city is shown below, however, the accepted spelling of the city is now "Irottea" - contrary to the spelling on the graphic. Additionally, the city described as "Lusira Lionta" should be "Nusira Lionta" Irougil >>> Irottea (Relocated) Lusira Lionta >> Nusira Lionta  |

| Been meaning to post in here for a while. Um... I already did http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/JNVsoldier/rabastoroutline-1.png of Osarius (and Kryosis) so could that be added? or would it be better to make a claim on an existing spot (and possibly split it)? As for the RP about the nation... I've done a bit of history and such on http://nswiki.net/index.php?title=Osarius (though I think it still needs a bit of work) if that counts. Not so much for Kryosis yet, but that can be easily arranged. |
| Posted by: Vilita Jan 17 2012, 08:26 AM | ||
You'll probably have to post a little more on the forum to get the cartographers to do some custom coastlines for you, though, the generic shape minus the eroded coastline i could easily see fitting into the upper half of land mass 9 |

| Why does Osarius sound familiar to me? |
| Posted by: Osarius Jan 17 2012, 11:52 AM | ||
I was thinking something similar when I was looking at the map earlier. I'd have to fiddle my map a little but nothing too serious to fit in there. Might be the easier option, really. I don't really know how complicated or time-consuming NS cartography is, and I'd rather not ask for something complex. I always forget to check the regional forum (and message board on NS, even) although I'm usually just floating about in NS Sports. We'll see how it goes, though. |

| Posted by: The Icemark Feb 26 2012, 10:46 PM |
| I'd like to request a tiny spot of land. I'm not overly concerned about where it is (but somewhere to the north would suit my nation better). Heres a link to my http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=The_Icemark page. |

Note that when you say "9 or 12" Those are not full land areas that you would claim. Your land would be taken from in one of those areas, the majority of which would remain unoccupied at CH's discretion, unless you have a map outline/shape already that CH will use as a guide. |
| Posted by: Whittoria Mar 4 2012, 01:18 AM | ||||||
Would something like this work?  I'll probably whittle that down a lot, but the southern part of 9 and a few of those smaller islands were what I had in mind. |

| So is Sarzonia proper gone forever then? |
| Posted by: Vilita Mar 4 2012, 10:31 AM |
| Well most of the land Whittoria is requesting was the Crystlkere land We should TG Sarzonia on the matter though, or simply award Whittoria the former Crystlkere land and not intrude on the Sarzonia land? |
| Posted by: Vettrera Mar 4 2012, 11:50 AM |
Hi, I would like to request a portion of landmass 5. To be more specific, that includes 14 islands that would serve as the various "states/provinces" of Vettrera.  My nswiki can be found on: http://nswiki.net/index.php?title=Vettrera |
| Posted by: Vettrera Mar 4 2012, 12:30 PM | ||
sorry I meant 12 islands also my factbook can be found here: http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2333 |

What portion was Sarzonia's? And has he left AO? |
| Posted by: Vilita Mar 4 2012, 03:19 PM | ||||
Sarzonia hasn't left but they have 'vanished' Basically, the land you requested was previously the land of Sarzonia AND Crtslkere So probably its still a bit big. Here is the map from before they were removed: http://www.thirdgeek.com/maps/ao/2005/12/10/ |
| Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Mar 4 2012, 05:17 PM |
| With the amount of empty space on the map these days and the number of nations who come asking for inserting their premade map onto the base regional map, I don't see a reason to block a thoughtful request for a portion of some of the larger unclaimed plats. Specifically:
|
| Posted by: Legalese Mar 4 2012, 07:13 PM |
| Like 95X, I also have no objection to Whittoria taking what they offered, if not the entirety of 9, or even 12 instead. Calania is getting kind of empty, after all... As for Sarzonia, you said the key word there, Vil, they "vanished". They don't exist in the real (er, NS-real) world. Their myth and history survives, but that's all that does, unless the decision is to turn Sarzonia into a Bermuda Triangle-like area, or let Tiberius use up any un-used godrods that Starblaydia has floating in orbit. |
| Posted by: Vilita Mar 4 2012, 07:19 PM |
| I don't have any objection to giving Whittoria or Vettrera exactly what they've asked for. I'm just saying, should Sarzonia have a change of heart, there might be discussions to be had between them and Whittoria  Nevertheless, the other half of Whittoria's claim I would expect to be completely uncontested as it has been empty for quite some time. |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Mar 4 2012, 07:22 PM |
| I agree with 95X and Legal on this one. Vettrera’s claim should be granted as that space has been open for quite some time. Whittoria’s claim should be granted, though it may be a bit big and need trimmed down. If CH does choose to cut down the size of the claim, former occupants should not factor in the decision. The land below Sarzonia was more recently Delaclava. However both of them chose to leave with Sarzonia going as far as to attempt to erase himself from history. The fact that CH did not mark former Sarzonia as “reserved” as he has done with Sorthern Northland says he agrees with me at least a bit. IF and when Sarz chooses to make a return he will have to figure out his place on the map, just as I had to do when I came back to find 95X had moved north to my former home. The size of Whitt’s claim could be an issue, but that is for CH and others to decide. If former occupants wanted the space, they would still be there. |
| Posted by: Audioslavia Mar 4 2012, 07:34 PM |
| Audioslavia would like to claim the small island with the hole in it at the top of Section 5 as its Atlantian Oceanian home. The bulk of Audioslavia is still an unspeakably vast, irradiated desert somewhere in the northern hemisphere, with only two population centres housing about 200,000 people in all (down from 13 billion all those years ago). Audioslavia are using this tiny island - with its arrid soil, poorly oxygenated lake, bland flora and faunae and small, ugly, bored looking animals - as a place to put its new football stadium, with our reasons being we can't very well expect foreign football teams to trek for a day in a jeep, bounding accross miles of desert with only the click of a geiger counter for comfort, on their way for what should be a routine football game. Here is a small diagram of our claim:  |
| Posted by: Falcania Mar 4 2012, 09:30 PM | ||
I remember those! I wonder if they still work... |
| Posted by: Whittoria Mar 4 2012, 10:31 PM |
| Did I make my military that big? I haven't updated my factbook in maybe a year or so before my land claim. I should mention that the land I'm claiming in AO is a new territory for Whittoria, as I'd like to keep my original continent that it grew into originally (which is located outside of AO). I'd have no problem taking Crystlkere's former lands and leaving Sarzonia's previous lands as they are, or even having a smaller area. As long as I touch some coast and reach to some plains and mountains I'm totally down. Edit: That number of total troops enlisted I'm going to edit to reflect total personnel, active and reserves. |
| Posted by: Legalese Mar 4 2012, 11:31 PM |
| I'll also add to ASMV's examples with one of my own - Star and TLC took over my land during one of my absences, which is how I ended up with half the mainland I used to have, so if Sarz does decide to return, he can go wherever there's space ;-) On a side note, I'm glad to see the area 5 archipelago filling up. Good to have neighbours again... |
| Posted by: Vilita Mar 4 2012, 11:34 PM |
| Don't forget, *some* re-drawing of land is allowed if the proper RP accompanies it. Sea levels can rise/fall, man made projects can come along etc. - Thats how we ended up with landmass 5 and 10 to begin with. And 17 - well I have no idea how that happened |
| Posted by: Falcania Mar 4 2012, 11:56 PM |
| Still no takers for #19? I get lonely sometimes. |
| Posted by: Vilita Mar 4 2012, 11:57 PM |
| Theres a new nation kicking around one of the other regions called "Falconfar" You should get them to come be your neighbor |
| Posted by: Falcania Mar 4 2012, 11:59 PM |
| Fledgling nation Falconfar federates not far from Falcania. I can see the headlines now. |
| Posted by: Legalese Mar 5 2012, 12:32 AM | ||
I believe that the proper term here is "hilarity ensues". On an actual comment though, however: I would like to see landmasses on the map filled before we build new landmasses for new nations, especially considering the amount of land now available. Back in the earlier days, when the landmasses were fuller, it was cool, but now that many of them (like Calania) have huge gaps, we should try to fill those first, IMO. |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Mar 5 2012, 12:43 AM |
| The newly-founded Confederation of Common States officially petitions the powers that be to allow the new alliance, and more specifically the Draco-Falcani part of that alliance, to hold dominion over the stretch of land that runs the length of Sorthern Northland’s Eastern border from north to south. This stretch of land should be 32 km wide (19.88 Miles) and fall completely under the jurisdiction of the CCS. Recent events on and around this border of Sorthern Northland have left the CCS in serious doubt as to that beleaguered nation’s safety and sanctity when it comes to defending itself from unknown outside forces. OOC - regardless of the area being granted or not, I will probably RP in and around the area in order to continue storylines that began in the rescue operations thread. The IC request is just to base RP from no matter what the decision is. |

It's a puppet of Yesopalitha. |
| Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Mar 5 2012, 07:05 PM | ||
Judging by the amount of detail compared to other portions of your factbook, it'd seem to be a large IC priority. Another nonbinding suggestion is indicating what you'd do with the land; location of cities, bases, things like that. Somewhere I have an old file that gives city locations in 95X I've been meaning to dig up. |
| Posted by: Whittoria Mar 6 2012, 01:29 PM | ||||
I'll have to come up with a new division for this new territory, then. And a name for it, too. There will be many road courses! The original settlement will be Ronstown, though. |
| Posted by: Legalese Mar 9 2012, 12:14 AM |
| Additional map info: as I needed to place stadia and cities for AOCAF XXXIV, I made the map featured in http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=8589270#p8589270 to highlight them. For the next update of the cities map, those can go in where needed, with notes that the capital is Legalese City, and the major cities are Quinfrancis, Tiberia, Sagdineo, and Tyrellia. |

| Hi, I'm still working on a factbook, as well as a map of my nation itself, but would it be possible to claim one of the two small islands south of the 19 plot? |
| Posted by: Vilita Apr 22 2012, 11:18 AM | ||
Whittoria previously entered a claim including those islands, i don't know if it still does include them however |
| Posted by: Kiryu-shi Apr 23 2012, 10:16 AM |

The nation itself is divided into three republics; Natal, Transvaal, Cape and Winburg. These individual Republics handle the majority of the public services such as healthcare and education with the Federal Government handling foreign affairs and defence.

| Posted by: Legalese May 6 2012, 02:42 PM | ||
Seconded. With Krytenia no longer on the map, and Starblaydia's slow return, it's nice to see someone on Calania other than On that note, I'd advocate for NWG and C&R's respective borders to be adjusted just enough to fill the space between them appropriately. Unless someone wants to create a little coastal nation between the two. Of course, an updated map would be awesome, too.  |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega May 6 2012, 09:50 PM |
| Not trying to be too demanding but... Map updated 2011-12-07: with the number of nations wishing to become involved regionally, it might be time for another update. Just sayin' |
| Posted by: Falcania May 7 2012, 06:56 AM |
| Traditionally it has been my job to go and bother CH about map updates, but I'm sleepy. |
| Posted by: Legalese May 7 2012, 04:17 PM | ||
Fair, but still, the fact that the cartographer doesn't even bother to come in and see that there's updates that need to be made is a little disconcerting. Now, don't get me wrong, CH has made/updated an awesome map, and I'm certainly grateful for it (if you've seen my "art", you'd understand why). But as previously pointed out, it's been a long time since the last update, with so many nations making claims - and hell, even having a number of them leave/CTE before even getting their claim fulfilled - that remain unwanted. Granted, the forum activity is low in general, but if that's too much to ask from the cartographer, then well, I don't know. |
| Posted by: 95X-Scottfire May 9 2012, 05:16 PM |
| I think we've averaged what, about 1 map update per RL year now? That's probably fair, given the amount of time/energy one must spend on other things these days. Maybe we should simply discuss a rules change, stating something like a nation who whose map claim is accepted/unopposed by other nations and is reasonable is welcome to use it IC between map updates. In terms of "reasonable," making a claim for a small island and/or area of a larger landmass is reasonable; making a claim for all of area 17, for example, wouldn't. Just some thoughts. |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega May 15 2012, 12:22 PM |
| Just so nations making new claims will know generally what land is available and nations can get an idea of where their RP boundaries are... IF, and it is not likely, every claim is awarded as requested - or as close to requested as is possible, this is what the new AO map would generally look like. The final decisions come down to CH's judgement on official boundaries and adjustments will need to be made. This is intended only as a general idea of where we stand.  |

Nations in white would be in danger of being removed. Hutt River part of Ipeland claim located in Rejected Realms. Kyrosis part of Osarius claim does not exist Estresse Intenso does not exist Added Kyru-shi, Osarius, Kyrosis, Ipeland, Hutt River, New West Guiana, Carpathia and Ruthenia, Demot, CCS Protection Zone, Whittoria, Mysrantis, The Icemark, Savski Venac, Audislavia, Vettrera, Hyppocria Removed Krytenia, Burchadinger Like I said, just my take - not really official.  |

In reference to your post on the RMB, 1st - my map is in no way official. 2nd - In my version, I decided to grant a small piece of land due to your wishy-washy time in AO. You're here, then gone, then here, then gone, and back again. Your requests have been for all over the map with #8 being TG'd to me just prior to your final request here. My advice would be to stick around, get involved in the region's sporting events or political RP. Do something here in AO. After you have proved yourself willing and ready to be a part of this region, we could talk of expanding your borders. 3rd - refer back to the 1st point I made. |

| To whoever is doing the map: Can we keep the former Krytenia blocked out for the time being? Its my closest land border and if Kry doesn't come back I may want to do some kind of RP involving it along with the currently blocked out "EYS" land that borders it (and me) |

| Posted by: Falcania May 28 2012, 04:20 AM |
| Your new territory is also the size of about three nations in the olden days. Not that I'm jealous. But I'd totally go to war for your southern coast. |
| Posted by: Legalese May 28 2012, 11:23 PM | ||
Eh, it's all relative. The Karin Islands (fmr. Casari/Unreal) are pretty close in size to mainland Legalese, but I perceive it to be much smaller, and much more isolated, and should it ever come up, will RP it as such. Cheers to ASMV for the new map and key! Additional Cheers for a growing Calania! On a side note, does anyone still have the bodies of water names handy? Figure it might be useful for many of the newcomers (as well as for someone who only cares about Lake Bekk, the Nemyan Strait, and the Crystilakere Channel) |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega May 29 2012, 03:28 AM |
| I do have most of the waterway names as well as the landmasses. Will try to get that added by the weekend or early next week. |
| Posted by: Falcania May 29 2012, 07:26 AM | ||||
The FORMER Crystilakere channel. Now just one of the three or four bodies of water that Falcania ruthlessly controls from the sky. (I still remember exactly who bordered me in the olden days. Cockbill Street to the south, Diamindokere and Crystilakere to the north. Nothing to the southeast, because it hadn't been invented yet. Happy days) |
| Posted by: Legalese May 29 2012, 01:58 PM | ||
Last I checked, it runs up to meet the Nemyan Strait, and forms the water border between Legalese and Kyrosis, so pretty sure it's still the Crystilakere Channel That said, that area isn't very Channel-like. How about we start calling it the Calania Sound instead? (I too remember my initial borders - a land buffer between me and Starblaydia to the north, The Allied States (before they added #9) to the south, and the Druidish Lands (using a number of names) opposite me on Bekk. Krytenia, for some reason, thought the Druidish Lands would be livable) |
| Posted by: Legalese May 31 2012, 10:05 PM |
Speaking of water, I like the next new evolution of the map - a channel turning Cyanea into three land bodies  Might be hell for whoever claims 9 one of these days. |

| How did I manage to lose that northern island to Demot? It belonged to me on the first map... and now it's not mine anymore.... |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Jun 4 2012, 03:12 AM |
| Here is the link to the map with waterways and landmasses named, as promised. http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/ASMVandDandS/52312-1.png To Mantwenic: It was my unserstanding that the island in question was a part of Demot before that nation had CETd and was removed. Valanora requested that Demot be reinstated as it is a puppet of Vals. Since your original claim did not include the island in question I made the assumption (obviously wrong as it stands now) to include the island in that reinstatement. If you wish, I can place the island in question back under your control as it was yours on the map I began editing. That is an issue both IC and OOC between you and Demot. Just let me know what you want done. Thanks |

| Pick a spot and make a nice RP about who,what, when, where, and why and your borders can be expanded Falcania. There is plenty of open room on the map. |
| Posted by: Falcania Jun 4 2012, 11:08 AM |
| I'm mainly just making bad jokes about my previous history of land hunger. Did you know I started on just the little island? Not many people know that. If you were of a mood to alter the map for me though, it'd be great if you could add a bunch of tiny little islands (like Region 5 size) and dot them around the waters surrounding me. |
| Posted by: Valanora Jun 6 2012, 11:42 AM |
| That island is Demot's and given the OOC circumstances (I was without internet for 2 months), it should remain Demot's. I'm not interested in any war either, that's not an option. And as there was no official request in this thread either for the island, nor an RP regarding the expansion as has been a guideline for expansion, the island should remain Demot's. |
| Posted by: New Pebble Island Jun 8 2012, 10:18 AM |
| Okay, it looks like I need a spot on the map. Because my nation is based off of a real island(just google Pebble Island) in the Falkland Islands, I now have two solutions. 1)I make a puppet that's people are refugees of some major nation's capital (or major)city that fled and are starting the "(City Name Here)ian Empire" or something like that. 2)We could add a tiny little copy-and-pasted version of the real Pebble Island to the corner of the map. I am open to either. |

Demot RP'd the claim to that Island in 2008. http://www.atlantianoceania.com/index.php?showtopic=2019&hl= I couldn't actually find anywhere that you RP'd any map claim, no less the one for that Island, so I'd have to say given the evidence that Island belongs to Demot? |

| Posted by: Wight Jun 25 2012, 05:34 PM |
| Wight in the house! My thanks to ASMV for inviting me. I have this whole RP plan for Cup of Harmony 52 that will explain why Wight has suddenly appeared in AO. In summary: It dates back to WC-58, Wight's debut tournament, and the obsession Búa, the haphazard founder and leader of Wight, developed for the Mitrin Vega (or Mittykins as he irreverently called her in a letter in WC-59, following a session of strong S&M). As will be revealed in the Cup of Harmony, and I have been leading up to it through World Cup 60 qualifying with the Seven Cardinal Sins RP, Búa has decided to materialise Wight in AO for two reasons - one is to be closer to ASMV, in a vaguely creepy stalker kind of way, and the second reason... well, that comes later. Next WCC cycle. I hope you'll bear with me. In the meantime, my slowly developing NS factbook is here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=159924&p=8166686#p8166686 I mean to settle in AO and become active here as I have been in NS Sports, and I'm looking forward to working in collaboration with some top RPers. I will build a factbook here over the coming months. I would like to have a small island archipelago in the far northern latitudes if possible, the main island about the size of Turori, and on a longitudinal equivalent of ASMV's middle island. I have mailed an outline of Wight to ASMV via NS TG. |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Jun 26 2012, 12:58 AM |
| I have your info Wight and you will be included on the next update which will probably be the 1st of July. Further updates to the Working Map will probably be posted once per month on the 1st of each month. CH will continue to update the Official Cities Map as time permits. |
| Posted by: Legalese Jun 26 2012, 11:17 AM |
| Welcome Wight! Throwing out an idea that ASMV might already have: the portion of 11 on the left of the inlet that island makes looks to be about the size of Turori (from the edge of the inlet, and heading towards water). What if your planned entrance includes the "rupture" of 11 into an Archipelago? |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Jun 26 2012, 11:42 AM |
| Wow. I hadnt even thought of that, but it would make a brilliant entrance and would make sense with one such as Bua coming into the region. It would also open up a possible ton of RP opportunity as a rendering of that magnitude would cause damage all over the northeastern quadrant of the map. That being said, I already have Wight's plans and am prepared to have those followed through on the map. But if he changes his mind... |
| Posted by: The Bear Islands Jun 26 2012, 11:52 AM |
At least it's the north-east hrrather than the north-west...  |
| Posted by: Legalese Jun 26 2012, 02:44 PM | ||
The north-west has been nuked. Twice. Once by one of its own nations. I think it's had enough damage for a bit. Hell, plan the other thing right, and you could have tidal wave disasters in Ipeland, Hutt River, Starblaydia (probably the island), possibly even The Karin Islands and the Schiavone Archipelago take a hit. Good way to eliminate some islands in five that aren't needed, though with the potential downside of Audio describing Jaffacake in a bathing suit. |
| Posted by: Falcania Jun 27 2012, 01:59 AM |

Really, whatever makes the rest of the process more convenient for people with stronger RP connections to specific territories.

| Posted by: Wight Jul 1 2012, 03:38 AM |
| I love the natural disaster idea! I'm well up for such a thing. So my plan had been to write a comic but altogether humdrum move into a new property, although I had wondered how I could mix 'buying' a property with having one created for me in AO. But ASMVs & Legal's idea sounds great. Could my map of Wight (sent to ASMV) replace island 11, or at least, a part of it, with a small archipelago that I could also use? Those who want to could then use the supernatural explanation - this slightly bonkers being creating a new island and having a small accident while he was at it, while those who prefer modern realism can explain it away by a plate shift and massive earthquake and volcanic eruption. How it ended up populated so soon I'd be glad to work through with anyone interested in (and more knowledgeable than me on) plate tectonics! |
| Posted by: Urbis Tractus Jul 1 2012, 10:02 AM |
| Right, I've finally decided to get my arse in gear and make a map claim, though I'm not sure whether I've missed ASMV's deadline. It's a pretty confusing claim to be honest. This puppet is basically a moving city (which I'll give some history to in WC61Q). My two ideas of how to accommodate it were: 1) With permission from people that would be affected, have a trail, looking sort of like a railway line, passing through one of AO's continents. That would represent Urbis Tractus' usual trail. I personally would prefer this, though I understand the difficulty of it, both map-making wise and for the people that would suddenly find out they had a new neighbour 2) I would claim an area of land, that I would probably let ASMV choose, where Urbis Tractus would move around freely without annoying anyone else Feedback is appreciated, because I can't choose between the two myself to be honest Licen/UT |
| Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Jul 2 2012, 01:29 AM | ||
What I ultimately decided to do was give a cut in of your nation in the corner of the map, like WTQ and K&P have/ This will allow your nation to be mobile and any form of "rail" system can be developed via RP. |

That's likely doable; several of the numbered areas are much larger than a single nation (even if a single nation had an entire area at one point). All they'd have to do is write a suitable factbook and make an acceptable claim. |
| Posted by: Legalese Jul 11 2012, 06:48 PM | ||||
