An Idea for a 'New World' (OOC Thread)

I was just seeing all of these new Earths, just a second ago I saw 'Earth IV' (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=355368) and I was wondering if anyone would be up for maybe 'The Ultimate Earth' And on this earth someone could make a map that was of terrains of different sorts and this earth would be massive. The map should be on a grid and each square of the grid could loosely fit 1 billion people. I would think that this earth would need to be around 500 squares, or bigger depending on the turn out. It would also help any warfare, and better the mental picture of your fighting terrain.

Anyhoo, if you have any ideas or suggestions, or are against this, just let me know.

I can do this, but I see no point. It would just be like a region with a map.

Well, it's just an idea, but if no one wants to than I'll just forget it.

Its quite a good idea. Maybe we could make a region about it... check your TGs later.

Maybe it could be combined with my idea?

They do this because most people can't give up the idea that NationStates is not set in Earth. It's set in an Earth-Like Planet that somehow is able to manifest entire nations due to it's unbalanced Polar Icecaps (which accounts for nations disappearing in a day, and reappearing in a day). The people in it are Pikmin like creatures which reproduce at an amazing rate, and rarely ever die of mortal means *thus there is no depopulation*.

These people who keep land-grabbing on Earth's that actually are not there are just uncreative because they aren't willing to go through the trouble of actually sculpting out what they want their nation to look like (it doesn't have to look good either. Stop being self-conscious about your MSPaint.exe skills). I mostly ignore it because I believe it's so silly, as does most of the NS Population.

What you are trying to accomplish would essentially be a map of NS-Earth (as it is called anyway), which would be quite impossible due to, as previously stated, the rising waves from the Unstable Ice Caps. Albeit that there would have to be a square for each region represented, and each square the region would have to be mapped (It would only be fair).

It'd be nice to have, really, but why bother?

If we can make so many earths, why not make a million Moons with them, and a million Marses and Venuses and Jupiters and Saturns as well and no one will ever have any complaints about space-bases. How's that for genius?
