As you may already know, Nanakaland has two moon claims. Claim A, Nanakaland Moon Colony, has already been colonized. Claim B, the Scientific Sector, is being used for scientific studies. The border territory is not officially claimed, but used as a buffer between the scientific sector and the moon colony. If you have any moon claims, please post here and I'll add it to the map. Please actually RP the claims, though. I hope to soon have a map of the moon with all claims.

OOC: This appears to be the 'light' side of the moon only - I've taken a look for a good full lunar map but nothing has popped up. Apparently the 'dark' side is heavily cratered though and I would suggest people with small claims take a look at something there - it would be very simple to put down a simple geodesic dome to cap a crater and have a lot of space with a little work.

Luna has a surface area of 37.8 million square km - the current approx Earth population (RL) would have an average population density of 150 people per square km if they were to all colonize.

I only have a map for the light side so far. I'll put up two maps (light side and dark side) when I find some better ones.

New Empirian Marines establish Base at Copernicus Crater (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=123439&highlight=)

The nation of FuXz0r would like to purchase around 10,000km2 of moon space since we dont yet have the technology to land never mind build bases on the moon. We would much appriciate it if you could secure this area for us. :D

The Armed Republic of Friyusistan establishes a cientific base in the Sea of Tranquillity

The Republic of New Kingman is making a claim for research and colonization purposes.

OOC: I had a moon colony RP but it got purged and now I don't remember where I had it. However, I do have land somewhere on the moon.

The Armed Republic of Shadai claims 100 km² in any area of the light side of the moon for use in scientific experiments - tbd by any nation coordinating the claims.

FYI: This is not moon territory for sale, but a map of moon territory already claimed and will only be updated once a week!

oops i openned a new post , :oops:

ok, then i can't establish my base now, so i claim the sea of tranquillity as mine, unless someone else has a claim, if that happens, we'll have todo RP it :D

The Free Land of Wazzu Asgard

Lunar Lunatics!

UN Category: Civil Rights Lovefest
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Excellent

Location: ISAF Lunar Region

The Free Land of Wazzu Asgard is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.867 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, a survey of the nation’s rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and Wazzu Asgard's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of educational acheivement. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wazzu Asgard's national animal is the suicide ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the beggar.

Wazzu Asgard is ranked 1st in the region and 2,915th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

ISAF Lunar Region

World Factbook Entry: The ISAF (Independent States Allied Forces) Lunar Region includes those nations that have made the move into or hail from space, with a fair portion of its member nations located on the surface of Earth's moon. ISAF's regional delgate, MoCORP, welcomes all nations with open arms. We look forward to peace, prosperity and advancment in the ISAF.

UN Delegate: None.

ISAF Lunar Region is home to a single nation.

Lunies Expand Their Influence
by George Barker, SNN Luna Correspondant

While the aftereffects of War ravage the colony of Elysium, and a ready alert due to recent Imperium threats is mobilizing Wazzu proper, the Asgard colony has been buisily going about its own buisness. The abandonment of the region by the Menelmacari, Pilonese, and New Dixians have left Wazzu's first extra-terrestrial colony with an abundance of growing room.

Even though the nations of the ISAF, and others, took their technology when they left, the large developed areas are providing Asgardians with the best standard of living in Wazzu. Homes are spacious, underground gardens and forests are open and free, and abandoned resources are plentiful. More then this though, Wazzuians living in the colony are hoping that the recent recognition of Luna as valued real-estate will be a boon for the Asgard economy. Wazzu economists and buisness leaders are also hoping that this will help Wazzu recover from the damage done on Mars, and the expensive preperations for war on Earth.

But even on the moon, not everything is peacefull.

"We really aren't too worried about enemy invasion." says Luny Marissa Lonzo, "What really worries us is Imperium aggression on Earth. A lot of solar-system trade comes through here, and hurting that trade could slow down the economic growth we are hoping for."

Still, with recent events, what was once Wazzu's earliest colony could come to house the most well-to-do citizens in the Dominion.

****OOC****

OK, the idea here is simple. The ISAF Lunar Region used to be one of the most populus regions on the moon, and fairly large...but Wazzu is the only one left.

I am assuming that all the "ceased to exist" really just means that entire nations have moved on (as they are wont to do in NS), abandoning their territory but taking their people and technology with them.

I am also assuming that the population of Wazzu Asgard only started expanding into abandoned territories recently (when it became apparant that the other nations were not comming back), and that they can't possibly expand into the entire region over so short a period (a few years?).

Lastly, I am assuming that those two nations that came and left real quick were never really there for anything more then a look-see ICly as well as OOCly.

This would give Wazzu Asgard a very good amount of land while still allowing plenty of room for other people who want to join the region. It would also prevent anyone from making those sudden, 1NS year reverse-engineering jumps in technology and stealing Menelmacar's or Pilon's technology.

So could you please set aside a sizable portion of land for the ISAF Lunar Region on the near side of the moon and give Wazzu Asgard 25-50% of it? The rest I'll assume is open for any takers (who actually put a nation in the region)


NOTE: For those people worried about puppet-wanking.... Wazzu has three colonies, Wazzu Asgard, Wazzu Elysium, and Wazzu Cytherea. NONE of these factor into Wazzu's military, population, economy, or similar. They are for RP purposes ONLY.

The Eternal Dominion of Wretchengard lays claim to Mare Serenitatis and the three craters Archimedes, Aristillus, and Autolycus. We have not colonized them yet, but we make it known now that those lands are Wretchengard's. Ignoring our claim would be...foolish.

Arman Grimwald
Lord of Foreign Relations

I maintain a civilian space station in orbit around the Moon. Its primary purpose is to allow for passengers from short-range interplanetary spacecraft to change to long-range interstellar spacecraft.

On the Moon's surface, I maintain installations near the South Pole of the moon. I possess two small research installations at the Tycho and Longomontanus craters and a colony of 532,000 known as Von Braun at the Haidinger crater.

as it seems that nobody has claims over the sea of tanquillity, the goverment board of Friyusistan has aproved the building of a scientific base on it
the construction will be finished in 3 years (lets say about 2 days in real time, if theres no problem)

OOC: Nanakaland (and all others), please note that Wazzu's claim to much of the land I described above is almost as old as this nation/puppet, and that the ISAF Lunar Region existed before it.

I think that, along with all the RP stuff in here and before, has a lot of berring on "who claims what" in this thread.

It already existed, and was fairly sizable.

Otherwise, I don't care where it is located, only that it is on the near (Earth) side of the moon. That bit is important for continuity.

Thanks.

An Official Announcement of the Aumanii ministry of Foriegn affairs:

"As of 0830MT the Aumanii government has dispatched some 300 scientists, labourers and soldiers to the Southern polar region of Luna. There our claim will be made to all the lands and resources within 200km of our landing site. The Aumanii government has pledged to keep a large scale military presence off of Luna and we strongly urge others to follow suit."

`General Xavier, Aumanii Special Weapons Division.

in response to auman sending of troops, the goverment board of Friyusistan has decided to send a military contingent to the base when the construction of the base is finished. it will be formed with 300 highly trained imperial guards.
this troops will only defend our base. they dont represent any harm to the nations with presence on the moon.

Lunar Rheinland

It was a nice, pleasent day in the colony domes of Lunar Rheinland. Surprisingly few biker gangs terrorised and/ or enthusiastically violated other people, it was actually safe to go out.

Siesta, so to speak.

Adam Smith was reading the newspaper, scrolling down line for line while drinking his coffee. At his side, Elaine, his second wife. Suddenly, he read something interesting.

"Hey, Elaine?"
"Yes?"
"You wont believe it. This earthers... They make claims on the moon."
"Are they actually here?"
"Not yet, no... It´s fascinating. It looks like the moon is the new big thing... Bigger than mars, perhaps."
"We´re less than half the diame-"
"Yes, yes I know. Anyway... What do you think we should do?"
"Welcome them, I guess. A big party. Heck, they will be surprised seeing us, here."
"Yeah. And after travelling such a long distance... I`m sure they will enjoy it here. Except for the biker gangs..."
"Oh... I`m sure they will be polite enough not to kill them. Just raping. Tea?"
"Yes, thanks. Well... We will see. Hopefully there aren´t too many coming, our space is limited..."
"True. God, I wonder what will happen... suddenly being in the center of international politics..."
"I`m sure it will work out. And it`s a nice boost for the economy, too."
"I`m sure you´re right, my dear. Wanna pie?"
"Yes... Oh, look, the Moon Rangers defeated the Lunar Wolves 4:2..."

if any country is dissapointed with our decision, we will not deploy our troops, with the condicion that none of the countries in the moon can have military presence on it :)

Friyusistan, go away, you don't have any space capabilities, so everything you've said have been ignored.

Auman, if you even think about sending troops to the Moon, Wazzu or somebody else is gonna get quite pissed off...

Statement from Manar Tawam, Speaker for Wazzu:

"Wazzu has had a colony on Luna for hundreads of years. Attempts to fight over territory and cause mass devistation will be...

"...watched with great amusement by Wazzuians everywhere and boadcast live to nations throughout the solar system. National media networks may contact South Northmen News, a subsidy of Elegant Solutions for information regarding purchacing of radio, television, and tri-D content of any such conflict.

"Thank you for your time."


EDIT: Newsline: "The Speaker also asked off camera that any nations landing on Luna please ignore sheep grazing on the surface. The animals are forign bioengineered products meant to revolutionize the vacuum-based wool and meat markets. All the products are owned by a forign corporation and molestation of the sheep may result in legal action on behalf of Wazzu and Forign corporations.

Wazzu, perhaps the ISAF could have Oceanus Procellarum, located to the west on the light side of the moon.

OOC: Bah...err...umm...*shrug* I don't care where Nanakaland chooses to locate it, as long as it is fairly sizable and on the near-side of the moon (to be consistant with NS history/continuum).

Five Civilized Nations, im playing this game for a short time so i didn't know that i don't have space capabilities, and i think that you can respond in a less despective way, making use of your "civilized" modals

how do i know if i have space capabiilties? thanks! :D

Well, the area I suggested meets your criteria, but so too do a number of others.

There's link to a map of the moon I found, in case you'd like to look for yourself.

how do i know if i have space capabiilties?

Is that question serious or is it supposed to be funny?

Steel-Butterfly, he's serious, as he's a n00b. *Gives Steel-Butterfly the pleasure of explaining*

OOC:

Five Civilised Nations: I only have 50 Military policemen on Luna, Iam not by any means assembling a grand army on the moon.

Friyusistan: You can have space capabilities at your level, I dont like how nations claim that you 'must' have a certain population to do so...cause its ridiculous. All you have to do is build a space program thats within your means and its should be fine. But I should remind you that my military is probably a lot larger than yours...and if your goal is to threaten my troops with manpower, then well, you're not really going to succeed.

I say let Friyusistan have a colony on the moon...he'll get some experience out of it.

I've had a fair size conlony and ship yard at the southpole of the moon for several NS decades and it takes up about 1/5th of the south pole

thanks auman! i didn't wanted to threaten by sending troops, i just wanted to keep my future base safe, and i know that you've a larger army so it would be suicide to try to threaten you. to demostrate my good will, the government board has decided to send only 50 specially-trained-for-the-moon-conditions policemen, to keep our cientists "under control"

OOC:

Good, may'be the Moon will actually be the only peaceful planetary body in the solar system...but this is NS, so I reckon that wont ever happen.

Damnit, and I hoped I could get some good war footage...

It´s not like my equatorial colony up there has anything else to do... *cough*

From memory, I used an identicle map to yours, and....

*looks through picture history*

Yeah, the crater above your colonised position is domed over and belonging to the Free and Peacefull land of Pablicosta.

Menelmacar does not abandon colonies. If Wazzu persists in this action we will be forced to consider it an unprovoked invasion of our lands and react accordingly.

Newsblip: George Barker fired.

SNN Luna Correspondant George Barker was fired earlier this week for missreporting Wazzu colonial movements. The formor reporter claimed such ludricris things as Menelmacar and Pilon have abandoned lunar colonies and that Wazzu citizens have moved in.

SNN would like to appologize to our readers for this blatently false information.

While Wazzu colonists have moved into abandoned habitats of formor ISAF Lunar Region nations, and while Wazzu has extended it's claim over these territories, no Wazzu Asgardian's have settled in currently inhabited portions of the moon.

The Praetonian government is requesting a friendly space nation to secure a small section of the light side of the moon for future development by the Praetonian space authorities, when sufficient technology is available to exploit such territory.
