| Thank You, Starblaydia. |

| That is actually a bit more than what I was thinking of for my expansion, especially since Nova Roma roleplayed to expand into the same general area as well. I was thinking something more along the lines of this: http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bordersmap2rj.jpg The area in black is what I think NR was going for, while the area that remains red will be what I was thinking I would expand into. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the added land, so long as NR doesn't have a problem. I just didn't want my neighbor to loose some land that he had RP'd for. |

The new map definitely looks cleaner than the old one.  And, to the people of AO, my apologies for just kinda dropping out of the map-maintaining business without notice. As I'm sure those of you who've been there know, university can take up great amounts of your time, especially near the end of the semester, and I was getting a bit overloaded. Here's hoping CH can do what I couldn't. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Dec 6 2005, 03:05 PM |
| Hey, Bedi, you did a good job - don't beat yourself up! I liked your maps. But I do agree, CH will probably do a great job as well. Look forward to seeing a big fat "P" in that map. |

| Paci, Khazaron: Will be updated in the next map. Star/Vil:
With all of the cleanup, I’m thinking a borderless, labelless full-size map wouldn’t be too big of a file—I might just upload that instead of cutting out sections of a borderless, labelless full-size map for certain people. |
| Posted by: Vilita Dec 7 2005, 04:58 AM | ||
Sure, it's called "File: Save As" |

| Have I earned former Diamindokere yet (number 3) yet? |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Dec 7 2005, 12:23 PM | ||
Simply: No. |
| Posted by: Falcania Dec 7 2005, 01:26 PM |
| Meh. I suppose the 300 million Falcanian people currently living there are of no consequence. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Dec 7 2005, 02:31 PM |
| Was it one million airliners or a three hundred million rafts that took them there, then? |
| Posted by: Commerce Heights Dec 7 2005, 02:51 PM | ||||
No, it’s called “I’m not going to lie about the file type just because you’re too lazy to change one slani configuration option.”  |
| Posted by: Falcania Dec 7 2005, 02:59 PM | ||
It was the 150,000 ships, actually. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Dec 7 2005, 03:28 PM |
| 150,000 ships? Wow. Where'd you find all those? :S |
| Posted by: Falcania Dec 7 2005, 04:05 PM |
| Well, it would be more accurate to say 150,000 crossings. The operation took about a month. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Dec 7 2005, 05:06 PM |
| Ah so where did I miss the RP that covered 'about a month' of crossings? |
| Posted by: Lamoni Dec 7 2005, 07:02 PM | ||
I have to agree with Star on this. I haven't seen such an RP either. |
| Posted by: Falcania Dec 8 2005, 11:57 AM |
| It was in the RP thread I made a while back. You know, the one which everyone hated me in and then ignored. I'm starting to think it might just be easier to say I never had anybody on the damn island. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Dec 8 2005, 10:30 PM |
| Indeed? |
| Posted by: Vilita Dec 10 2005, 12:58 AM | ||
So you sailed 150,000 ships accross waters blockaded/guarded by one of the strongest naval forces in the Nationstates World with no consequence? 'Godmod' anyone? |
| Posted by: Krytenia Dec 10 2005, 11:29 AM | ||

| Oh, -explicitive removed- it. Someone delete the thread. The whole thing can be IGNORED because even I knew it was a godmod. |
| Posted by: Legalese Dec 10 2005, 11:56 PM |
| Excuse my curiosity, but what's that little red area just off of Nojika/Xile? |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Dec 11 2005, 06:43 AM | ||
That used to be Wapakhoneta and is now used as a territory for the Atlantian Oceania Regional Council - best to think of it as the Atlantian Oceania (the Drone Negotiator of...) nation's land. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Dec 11 2005, 07:34 PM |
| You can try and take it, just RP it properly first. |
| Posted by: Krytenia Dec 12 2005, 01:26 PM | ||
Surely this would be a knock on from the IGNORE effect? |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Dec 12 2005, 01:28 PM | ||
Indeed. If you intend no threats to Sarzonia, or if you don't intend to take it away from Crystilakere by force, you'd need to make overtures to both countries since Diamindokere is Crys's property and the wording of your previous IC messages was perceived by Sarzonians as a threat. |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Dec 12 2005, 01:31 PM | ||||
But the problem with an ignore on that one thread is that thread has ripple effects on other threads (one example being my government's decision to leave the SDI at the altar and build up for a massive military strike against Falcania itself). If Falcania didn't try to make a move for Diamindokere or if Falcania had made an effort to assuage Sarzonian or Crystilakerian concerns from the outset, Sarzonia would have been happily ensconsed in the SDI staring down the SAAS down the barrel of its 30 inch naval guns. Now I'd need to come up with a way to explain how Sarzonia has not been involved in the SDI in the past if I choose to join it. |
| Posted by: Khazaron Dec 12 2005, 01:43 PM |
| Maybe you could just explain it all as the whole affair being held up in your legislature or something? I remember you said that joining would require their affirmative before it went ahead. Perhaps someone in the legislature decided to filibuster against it or something. |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Dec 12 2005, 02:28 PM |
| Yeah, my government system is basically a tweak of the U.S. government system (where the Senate apparently ratifies treaties; in my case, it's the House of Delegates, in other words, my replacement for the House of Representatives), so I could have a few Delegates filibuster it or something. The point behind my comment wasn't that I couldn't work around a thread that ended up being ignored; it was that I'd have to do something to work around it. |
| Posted by: Krytenia Dec 12 2005, 03:47 PM | ||
On second thoughts... |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Dec 12 2005, 03:52 PM | ||
I think Nova Moepoeia is actually run by another player. She's a good friend of Pacitalia's player, but she's still a different player nonetheless. |
| Posted by: Falcania Dec 12 2005, 05:07 PM | ||||||
Perhaps it was all a dream... Or perhaps the entire government's been drinking. |
| Posted by: Commerce Heights Dec 13 2005, 01:42 AM | ||
That’s true, which is why I said “semi-puppet-like entity” rather than “puppet.” It was Pacitalia who made the request for NM to be put on the map, so until NM RPs here on its own, I’ll treat it like a puppet. |

| Chicanada, being of sound mind but unable to start a generic RP for my nation magically appearing in the region, would like to request if possible a part of #21. The nation would really like to include the two small islands off the coast of the area in conjunction with the northern section of the territory, but will be pleased with any area we can utilize to begin our era in the region. Now, off to find some thread to rp in until I can start a thread with basic info about us! |

Ah yes, this will be interesting. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Jan 30 2006, 10:05 AM |
| SU, if you are truly desperate to piss me off OOCly then expand into Land 5. That's small enough (compared to the size of the region) for no new nation to really want it, but its still a sizeable expansion claim. #4 would make a nice home for a new nation. Map key updated in the first post, also. And, in other news, no more -explicitive removed-ing expansions! There's little enough free space as there is. |
| Posted by: Bettia Jan 30 2006, 11:41 AM | ||
Hmm... I think a little regional expansion is in order... |
| Posted by: Space Union Jan 30 2006, 12:07 PM | ||

| Posted by: Starblaydia Jan 30 2006, 03:57 PM |
| Yes, SU, we can make new continents. So far we've added two new ones, and thats merely been to accomodate long-standing nations who have specific maps of their own, specifically Commerce Heights and Friends, and Pacitalia. The point (one which I've made in its http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=842 a while back) is, however, that using up perfectly-good map space just because you want to pat yourself on the back for being so wonderful is a crock of -explicitive removed-. Leave the green, numbered bits for new nations. No more chuffing expansions. When our map is full, then we can think about more continents. |

| OOC: WOAH, WOAH, WOAH... I requested Island #4 back in '04 and was never told that I didn't get it. If someone would be assed to TELL me if I wasn't going to get an island when I RP'd its discovery and sending people to it, I might not be so ticked. But you're taking territory from me I legitimately RP'd acquiring. |
| Posted by: Kakin Feb 4 2006, 02:30 AM |
| OOC: Woah im sorry Sarzonia..... I will take a different place if you like. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Feb 4 2006, 03:48 AM |
| OOC: How about we settle this in some sort of arbitration? It appears Sarz didn't hold it after all, especially if CH still had it as an empty space. And Sarz *did* have two days to see Kakin's request and raise a red flag before CH updated. So I don't know - is this a "you snooze, you lose" situation, or something else? |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Feb 4 2006, 03:18 PM |
| Bull[EXPLETIVE DELETED]. If I didn't get that island after my RP of its discovery and its acquisition, someone should have told me after I made the RP, not months later. I recall that I raised this very issue MONTHS ago and I was told to "calm down," but no action was taken when I raised it previously. I will not submit to arbitration, nor will I agree to have an island I've RP'd as mine for well over a year be taken by someone else unless it's taken in a war. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Feb 4 2006, 03:59 PM |
| This was the only thing I could find remotely related to a Sarzonian expansion, and it was into the rest of Chacor. http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=809 And this, about your island expansion: http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=285 However, looking at your map, the eastern island has absolutely no resemblance in shape, location or size to the island on the AO Map. So, perhaps the best thing to do would be to have CH add in the appropriately-sized island just off your coast. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/msarzo/Sarzonia_Map.gif http://www.thirdgeek.com/aomap.png See the difference there? |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 4 2006, 06:02 PM |
| Assuming that the island listed as #4 on both v. 3.0 and 2.5 of the map is the island Sarz refers to as New Granzi, there does appear to be a conflict in its location between the two, as the cartographers have always placed it north of Sarz's placement, putting it off the coast of Ryloss, rather than Sarzonia. That doesn't make the island any less Sarz's, but it should be noted. Actually, looking at both the 3.0 and 2.5 maps, I'm not sure why CH made the mention of numbering islands near Sarzonia, as the only difference was the numbering of island 1, south of Milchama. Island #4 has been island 4 even before now, and he didn't number your claims in the Crystilakerean Channel, which are clearly yours. |

| OOC: Hey, i'm new I saw what I need to do. Can someone tell me if spot 18 is still open? IC: Toro, The Federal Republic of Northern Sushi (former name, prior to 91’) November 13, 1990 6:25 am A tall and bulky man in a coat arrives in front of the gates at the Presidential Manor. The chauffer gets back in the car and drives away. The solider at the gates walks towards the man to try and talk to him. Instead the mysterious man shouts a cry: “ARISE, YE MEN!” All of a sudden men, women and children come out from the street behind the position where the car came from. The youngest of which is at the front. The young child opened a pocket and pulled out an old fashioned revolver and shot the guard in the leg. He killed the guard. The mobs lead by the man in the coat break through the gates of the palace. He yells again to his followers: “My dream is true; this weakling will pay the price. I will name myself King Harr the Great!” The palace was taken in a breeze. (OOC: I will contine and go into more depth at a later time, if that is okay) |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 4 2006, 06:31 PM | ||
yes, it is. the size of your country will depend on the cartographer, of course, but you may request certain features in your RP (like a long coastline, to be landlocked in 18, etc., for example) |
| Posted by: Northern Sushi Feb 4 2006, 06:32 PM | ||||
How do I go about doing this? |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 4 2006, 07:15 PM |
| Well, the best way is by making a new thread RPing the acquisition of the land. You can come up with things like settling it, how your people originated from there, etc. 'Go to the first post in this thread for examples of decent RPs to claim land. Also, don't forget to get yourself an original flag, to post as an avatar. There's a flag request thread somewhere in one of the Regional Discussion subforums, if you need assistance. |

| The People's Democratic Republic of Northern Sushi (2003- ) The People's Republic of Northern Sushi (1991-2003) The Federal Republic of Northern Sushi (1948-1990) The Unincorporated Tribal Communal of the Sushiian States (prior to 1948) Quick Background The nation was founded by several groups of indigenous speakers of the language known now as Sushiian Symbol. These tribes include the Gunkans in the Northwest, the Ikuran in the East, the Jades in the Southwest, and the Nimamaroni in the North. Prior to symbol tribes, there were tribes that spoke an unknown dead language known as Nilimishawi. The Nimamaroni is the tribe closest related to the psat tribes. Geography According to the AO regional map, the nation of Northern Sushi has a legitimate claim to spot 18. The tallest mountain in the nation is Mt. Vilidulawaskinish near the center of the nation northeast of Toro. The mountain is 8,052 ft. tall. The lowest place in the nation is Seawater Gulch, near the Milchama border, at a level of -13 ft. The southern seas of the nation are warm for the most part and have a Mediterranean style climate. Temperatures peak at about 80 degrees F. The inland valleys are usually between 70 and 90 degrees F. The northern coasts have a marine west coast climate and temperatures peak at about 65 F. The nation is mostly dry, except the high northern inland mountains and areas near Mt. Vilidulawaskinish. Natural resources in the nation include small deposits of gold and silver. The main resources however are agriculture products like tomatoes, grapes, and wheat. 72% of the inland valleys are irrigated, while 84% is arable. Natural disasters include wildfires and earthquakes. The Oceanic fault curves through the nation and splits it in two.

| Official Factbook Information from the Foreign Department, Allied States of Myrtannia Country Name - native full - The Allied States of Myrtannia Country Name - native short - Myrtannia, A.S.M. Pronnunciation: Murr-Tah-nee-ah Population: Approximately 7 million National Capitol: Halosen Government Type: Federal Republic In Myrtannian elections, the people of each of Myrtannia's eight states vote in a popular election for both the Senate of the Republic and the Presidency. A candidate must have a majority of the vote (above 50%) to be elected, or face a run-off with the closest finishing opponent two weeks from the originally scheduled election date. Each state has three senators, who serve a four year term after being elected with no term limit. The President serves a five year term, and has a three term limit. In addition, there is a High Court of Justice that judges whether certain laws are constitutional or not. Five judges sit on the High Court, and serve ten year terms once confirmed by the Senate. Nominees must also be endorsed by the Ministry of Justice and the President before being put up for confirmation. Current Administartion: President: Sean Holton Vice President: Robert Jett Minister of State and Foreign Affairs: Mohammed Akbar-Maheed Minister of Education: William Tinsdale Minsiter of Justice: Selene Hodge Minister of Defense: Tariq Sha'Kar Major Political Parties: National Party (Liberal) Federal Party (Moderate) Conservative Party (Conservative) Worker's Party (Socialist) Geographic location: According to Myrtannian sources, the Allied States would be located in location number 2, just south of Lamoni and east of Hiraan. While only a moderate sized nation, it occupies more than one island. The main island (just south of Lamoni) is mostly filled with naturalized vegitation (trees, brush, etc.), though it does boast the impressive Mt. Campbell, a permanantly dormant shield volcano 13,000 feet high and several miles wide at its base. Foothills dot the landscape for miles around the mountain, and the terrain is a popular tourist spot. Other features include a long coast line on one of the secondary islands, which also sports much vegitation and a few ranges of hills, as well as two as yet unnamed mountains farther inland. Languages: English (official), Arabic (unofficial), Hebrew (unofficial) Currency: The Sohnner Major Religions: Bhuddism (49%), Islam (40%), Judaism (6%), Non-religious (5%) Major Ethnicities: Caucasian (80%), Middle Eastern Descent (10%), Asian (5%), Other (5%) Military Service: While military service is required by law of able bodied men and women between the ages of 18-24 for a minimum of 2 years, recruits are allowed to select the service branch they wish to serve in. In addition, some (though few) religious exemptions are given. National Sports: Basketball, Lacrosse, and Bowling Brief history: The Allied States of Myrtannia began life as two separate entities - the Tans of the main island, who were largely Bhuddists of pale complexion, and the Mrytas of parts of the main island as well as the secondary islands who were largely Muslim. After initial discovery of each other, the two sides grew to respect each other, and relied on one another for support. Finally, approximately a century and a half ago, the two socities had merged into one. The Allied States were founded on the symbiotic relationship that had developed over years of brotherhood. Since the founding, immigrants have added more diversity to Myrtannia, the largest group of which indentifies themselves as Lamonian-Myrtannians. |

| I just can’t seem to run anything without causing problems with Sarzonia. There are, in fact, two areas numbered 4: one before Kakin’s claim, and one after. The area that Kakin claimed, as shown on the map, is the island known to Commerce Heights as Penguinata Island, which they share with Communist Rejistania. If Sarzonia really did claim this island, he should have popped into Terranordalis and told us. I then recycled the number 4 to refer to the island to the east of Sarzonia, which had no number before then. The island was marked as unclaimed on Bedi’s map, and no post has been made in this thread to claim it. It is currently open to claims by any nation, including Sarzonia, unless the Expansion Nazi—er, WCC President—wants to get involved. |

He hasn't to me either. |

| Nope. In fact, I've PM'd Vilita both here and on the main Nationstates site and not recieved any feedback. |
| Posted by: Lamoni Feb 5 2006, 10:17 PM |
| I'm not surprised. Vil hasn't been doing too many things in a timely manner around here. |

Believe it or not, there IS a claim thread and a thread where I announced almost TWO YEARS AGO that I was claiming what were then the three islands closest to the landmass where my mainland has been. |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 6 2006, 11:32 AM |
| Sarz: it should be noted that the two of these three islands are yours already. Only island 4 appears to have not been recognized the first time. That, or there's a lot of dirt being dumped in the water between Sarzonia and Paripana |
| Posted by: Falcania Feb 6 2006, 01:27 PM | ||
You say that like it's not possible. Please note the fact that on old maps the Falcanian Mainland was not featured. |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 6 2006, 01:32 PM | ||||
Oh, of course it's definitely possible. The Northwestern Island alone has changed forms a few times, and land has been added/altered in AO. It's obviously not the case in this situation, since Sarz isn't asking for land to be added to the map, but to enforce a claim he made. |
| Posted by: Casari Feb 7 2006, 01:56 AM |
| Aah. Now that I've moved Casari to the good ol' AO, and considering that I even managed to turn out an http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=981 for you guys, I'm somewhat interested in the fate of island number 16. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Feb 7 2006, 04:35 AM | ||
Ahh, number 16. Formerly Psytroxia - an odd semi-Rejistanian puppet - and just within blowing-your-head-off range for my armed forces. Excellent choice, Cas. |
| Posted by: Casari Feb 7 2006, 10:47 AM |
| Ugh, crap. We're going to be cleaning up all those va'karela for months. |
| Posted by: Falcania Feb 7 2006, 01:45 PM | ||||
Don't mind him. If he does anything, Falcania will protect you. Oh yes. |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Feb 7 2006, 04:58 PM |
| Either that or Sarzonia will level Jhanna with a few well placed Godrods. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Feb 7 2006, 05:25 PM | ||
But can you give the order if the Gray House is one smoking crater? And for Falcania, get bent. |
| Posted by: Khazaron Feb 7 2006, 05:29 PM |
| Well it's good to see that international tensions have died down. |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Feb 7 2006, 05:41 PM |
| If you make the Gray House a smoking crater, trust me, SOMEONE will give the order. And Star, I know you're pretty powerful in AO, but that's no license to flame Falcania. |
| Posted by: Khazaron Feb 7 2006, 05:44 PM |
| I think Star was just playing with Falcania Sarz. |
| Posted by: Sarzonia Feb 7 2006, 05:46 PM |
| It didn't look too playful to me. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Feb 7 2006, 05:57 PM |
| No it was a playful 'i'm going to ignore cannon your PTD, and i think your mutation thing is stupid'. Playful, though. |
| Posted by: Casari Feb 7 2006, 05:59 PM |
| Yeah, well, as long as it's playful and all. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Feb 7 2006, 06:55 PM |
| Or Star and Falc like to irritate each other, so it's all good. Carry on. |

| Everyone Play Nice... Don't forget, It's all just make believe. |
| Posted by: Kakin Feb 8 2006, 05:22 AM |
| Could i please ask why the rest of my island is in a different colour? |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 8 2006, 08:49 AM | ||
Because parts of your island, as well as the two east of it, are not in AO. That area was part of the Terranordalis region, until CH decided to move the region to AO. Therefore, the land came with it, but not all of the countries did. Those white areas indicate lands occupied by Terranordalian nations that have not joined AO. |
| Posted by: Pacitalia Feb 8 2006, 01:17 PM |
| The part in question is Communist Rejistania, I believe. |
| Posted by: Falcania Feb 8 2006, 02:07 PM | ||
I suppose it would be stupid to someone whose world view was "RAWR I WILL CRUSH YOU." Honestly. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Feb 8 2006, 02:43 PM | ||
Oh please that's only my OOC view. Or is that IC? Or both? Hmmm |
| Posted by: Falcania Feb 9 2006, 11:53 AM |

Two years ago? There aren’t any claims in this thread from two years ago. Now, if you just happened to have a link to the thread you’re referring to… |

| Not to be pushy, but will the regional map be updated anytime soon? I'd really like to start posting IC, but can't do much until Myrtannia is officially part of the region. I understand if there's RL constraints on time, but soon would be nice. |

East of Starblaydia, I believe. *checks map* Or at least, you were a couple of days ago. CH, what happened? |
| Posted by: Lamoni Feb 15 2006, 06:51 PM |
| It looks like the regional map reverted to the version before what is now considered current, but don't ask me why. |

| Hi, I'm not exactly sure what is open, but I would like to make my homeland #5 on the map. I do have some questions though: Who owns the green land to the east? I feel like the area #5 takes up is just too small for a 3.5 billion pop. And what about weather? I am redoing my nation right now, and after I change everything, it is going to be a very snowy and wintery place with plenty of pine forests and mountains. How will this effect other regions? Do I have to calim up north or is #5 alright? Also, here is some slightly updated info on my nation: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/USSNA |
| Posted by: Lamoni Feb 18 2006, 07:10 PM | ||
As I recall, spot number 5 is in the process of being claimed already. Commerce Heights, an NS celeb. It probably is. There are other open areas on the map that would suit you better. Weather is what you say it is. It shouldn't. We've had a problem with the map reverting from the up to date version to the one just before it (which is displayed at the time of this post). Spots 14, 12, 15, 13, 6, 3, 1, 18, 19, and 17 are currently open. Unless Star or Vil overrules me here, I think that that will work for a national factbook. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Feb 18 2006, 07:37 PM |
| Ooooh aren't we the helpful one all of a sudden? To be honest, I'd prefer to see a post like that on the forums than on the wiki, but thats fine as it is. As for the availability of #5, Space Union is supposedly expanding into that area, iirc. In doing so he's actually irritating me - what with my annoyance at expansion RPs - but if CH wants to put you there instead of SU, I'm not fussed either way. |
| Posted by: USSNA Feb 18 2006, 07:53 PM |
| Ok, thanks. In that case please give me # 18. |
| Posted by: Commerce Heights Feb 18 2006, 08:18 PM | ||||
I have NSI what happened, but I’ve re-uploaded the 2006–02–11 map. I’ll try to add USSNA later. |
| Posted by: Space Union Feb 19 2006, 06:39 PM |
| #5 is clear as I've decided to not do the expansion RP. I don't really need that land and I was doing it for the kicks so you guys can keep it open for others. Thanks. |
| Posted by: Abian Land Mar 2 2006, 11:21 PM |
| As I understand, I can request a land mass to put my highly scienterrific nation on now that I have requested a flag? I would like the 17 area. |
| Posted by: Footballia Mar 5 2006, 06:20 PM |
| is spot 5 just the one place, or all those different colors? can i have 5 if its all of that (i think its still open), and if its not all of that, or if its not open, can i have 12 please?http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Greater_Footballia is the wiki category, to be updated now that ive moved here, with many articles ready for deletion now. ive got an RP thing on moving here, too, but that will have to wait until i can start posts. |
| Posted by: Ollieland Mar 9 2006, 11:00 AM |
| Hello, new to these forums and region and would like to claim a place on the map if possible. I would like to take 15 if it still open, failing that 6 please. If you would like to know anything about my nation you can have a sneaky peek at www.freewebs.com/colonyofollieland |
| Posted by: USSNA Mar 9 2006, 08:09 PM |
| I know I havent been very active on these forums, but IS the map going to be updated soon? I'm still working on my Wiki and I would feel better if my spot was finalized. |

| it would be useful over here too.... |

| Posted by: Commerce Heights Mar 10 2006, 06:02 PM | ||
Yes, but generally not this much time. Now that I’m on spring break (which, of course, means it’s going to snow here ), an update should be posted within the next two hours. |

| Posted by: Lamoni Mar 11 2006, 01:53 PM |
| Last time that I checked, sufficient commerce traveled Lake Bekk that it qualifies as a coastline in it's own right. |

(I see my husband, ASMV, having fun with you guys over here) I hope to become involved in things here. You guys seem really great. The South Pacific is a bunch of deadheads who dont care what happens with most nations. I would like to request #6 on the map, if it is possible for me to get a spot yet. Thanks. Sonya |
| Posted by: Legalese Mar 15 2006, 11:31 AM |
| Two things: - It looks like we have two spots #1 on the map: below Nedalia, and below Falcania. That, or I can't tell my 1s and 7s apart. - With the size of this thread, does anyone else think it's time to split and archive the discussion again? After D & S is updated on the map, of course. |
