Guilders Land on Selene (That's the Moon, FYI)

In order to establish better trade relations with the nations of Earth and its moon, Tripolis has authorized the establishment of a new colony on Selene. Forward bases are to be constructed in Lebedinskiy and Dante, from which further construction will be directed. As craters are necessary for living space, but plains are necessary for spacecraft launch and landing, initial claims extend around the Korolev and Lacus Luxuriae regions. If necessary, future development may take place in Mare Moscoviens. The decision on what, if any, near side territory should be secured has yet to be made.

(OOC: Are Tycho, Grimaldi, Ptolemaeus, Herschel, or Halley currently occupied?)

Another *bump* so people don't forget, and to re-iterate my question.

OOC Tycho is mine since 03. It has a sizeable megacity in the east crater wall.

Ptolemaeus and the surrounds are Kingdom possessions and have been for nearly a year. There's also stuff in geosynch orbit of that.
As for the other places you mentioned I have no idea, but there's 2 regions and several other nations with bits of the moon in their possession, the only one I can name off the top of my head being TRD.

OOC: Geosynch? Dude, geosynch doesn't *exist* around the moon. At would *would* be geosynch altitude if the moon were isolated, you're far outside the moons influence, orbiting Earth on one side or the sun on the other. Anyway, I couldn't find the stuff not in my OOC question mentioned in any of the moon-related threads at the time. I'm pretty much assuming that nobody else has claimed them because almost nobody else has good map of the Farside.
