Exploration
OOC:Last thread sparked no interest...
IC:Chellian craft have discovered a new continent far south of it, a place where our initial reports view it to be mildly jungle and desert, with small regions of cold. Chellis invites interested nations to send exploration parties and colonials, and while chellis claims the land for itself, it is greatly recommended taking a share in getting your companies in, with mining, etc...
Continent about the size of africa, with a shape like australia, except more crescent like.

How can you just discover a continent in this day and age?
Simple. There are 72k nations or so in ns. There used to be 400k. That leaves tons of unused land, land we previously didnt know about. What about regions that people moved out of, and no one moved back into? What about the lands where the 5m's take over?
Biocorp is very interested in exploiting.. umm.. er.. I mean exploring this new land mass. We have assembled a team of 20 personnel. A small research vessel carrying a CV-22 and a small, "Dragon Eye" UAV will be dispatched to explore this new land.

(((OOC: with satelite mapping tech/ spy sats it would be very unlikely an entire continent could go undiscovered. But we'll pretend that's not so!)))
Biologics, I dont have satelites that can do that. The only satelites we own are privatly owned communications satelites. Also, all those new nations have to come from somewhere.

The Five Civilized Nations have maps of this "newly discovered" continent that were created two millenia ago... Your discovery is not a new one...

And you didn't make any effort at colonizing it? Err...ok then, we will just take it then...

the holy empire of falastur would like to know how big this new continent is....we would certainly be interested in mining it, or industrialising it in some way.....
It is about the size of africa, although shaped like australia(roundish), except for a long curve...its kind of like a crescent...
The deserts are expected to be heavy prospects for mining, and we ask you feel free to send men to search for possible mining sites/eventually set some up..

we would most certainly like to do so......
would you be willing to give a small part of this continent away, for us to colonise? its about time we ventured out, as falastur is getting very overcrowded....im sure we would only require quite a bit less than even 1% for this.....but seeing as you claim the land....its your choice.....
We claim the land, but its open land; Feel free to send colonials to colonize a part, and while we have technical control over it, you of course would get pretty much say there(I just have say over actions of the continent as a whole, basically)... Then again, things can always be worked out...

cool....well...we will colonise the areas around those places we would like mine, to keep our assets together, and we will colonise however much land you will allow us to "own".....we will try to keep our "assets" in one place, but i spose you have to expect a few "sub-colonies" where we find other places you grant us access too, a little way away....and naturally, we offer you to put a small delegation in to sit at the head of our Government there, with the Governor, so you can maintain some control.....
That sounds fine to me... Chellian colonizers have been mostly setting up in the jungle areas, so there should be a large range of land for you to pick from.

well, falasturians prefer living near rivers or the coast, or at the base of mountains....so if there are any mineral-rich places there, we would like them....

oh, and what is the name of this new continent?
Torrus, named after the chellian philosopher Mark Torrus.
Since we sent a ship as part of your exploration fleet, we have claimed portions of this continent. A colony will be created.
OOC: Chellis, how about you start a region for nations that represent our colonies. You know, they don't add to our population, they just represent a part of it...
OOC:I would prefer not to make puppets for this, i am heavily against puppets in teh same timeline, even in this case
IC:Chellis is glad that Feline sent a small number of ships to help, and would like to colonize parts of it, but chellis does hold ownership of the continent as a whole.

The Five Civilized Nations have only recently discovered these millenia-old maps...
We currently have a scientist team studying the flora and fauna of the region... They are collecting specimens for research and study. In addition, we are collecting volcanic and geological samples for further study... It will be great, if we can have additional scientific research in this newly discovered region.

OOC although i have to say i like this idea, i will respect your wish to not make a puppet, chellis....
FCN, we would never hinder scientific research, and we would be glad to have you come. We openly invite people to come here, as its largely unexplored, other than aerial exploration, for us anyways...
