NationStates Jolt Archive

OMGz I am now organised! w00t.

*ahem*

I've enlisted the help of Holy Panooly / Guffingford to get this project going again. He's going to do the maps, which he is very good at (http://img86.exs.cx/img86/1708/map0xe.jpg). Now for him to do that I need the following information filled out:

1) What is your nation name?

2) Provide a link to a map of your nation with link.

3) Do you want to be attached to another nation(s)? If so which (please ask the other nation(s) players first)?

4) Which nations do you want to be near (not attached to)?

Sounds like a good idea if enough people are willing to give it a try. It would be alot of work for you to keep the map updated though.

I like it! I know many regions create there own map with all thier member nations inside. It might be simpler just to add up all the regions at first. I'll talk to my delegate for Texas and see what he thinks.

If you think you can keep up with the amount of work, I think it'd be a terrific idea.

Well, my nation is completely covered in snow, landlocked, except with a small river that reaches the sea. It's shaped like a cross.

You should look out for regional maps to help you: Aperin has a beautiful map for example (I'll give you a link if you want).

Keep up with the work, and I'm all for it. Should help with RPing military engagements as well.

Excellent this would sort out all the problems of whos where and wars.
i have created a map of my region and would be glad to lend you it and help with this. tg me if you want

Union of soviet republics (http://img96.exs.cx/img96/9319/unionofsovietrepublics3cv.gif)

the blue circle shows the sort of boundary of it, im currently waiting for replys to land claimage.

OOC: Great idea but this WILL be very work intensive, I hope you could keep the map of Haven intact.

I'm with you all the way on this Prae, if you need any help, just holler...or IM me, I doubt I'd hear you holler!

Great idea but like everyone says lots and lots of hard work. Let me just dig my map out of the archives and put it through some internet site again to link.

I do hope lots of people come in to support this since its one of the smarter ideas ive seen lately.

OOC: I seriously doubt he'll put everyone's map in, it simply isn't feasible, it's more likely he'll make a big map and everyone can pick spots on it.

If you neeed any help.... TG me.

I know that one. I am looking for the map of the whole earth that shows where i am roughly not my actual map.

fair enough but I doubt he is even doing a real world map, otherwise, this map wouldn't be "the answer to earths" but rather a another piece of the Earths problem added one.

I too think it would be a great idea. Daunting task, but if you are up for it, go for it! Maybe the regional delegates of the regions involved could sort out where the regions are in relation to each other. I'd wager to say nearly all the large regions have a map showing at least some nations of the region. I may be able to assist a little as well, let me know.

BTW that USR must be a pretty cold place, is that N.E. Asia east of Sakha?

Good Idea ANY HELP AT ALL! Im By the PC

I could probably help you by integrating my NS Earth into your program. NS Earth is basically this concept, people just join and it's their NS Nation. Anyone who joins could supply a map of their nation and I could give it to you.

Will it be possible to plot region maps AS IS? Several regions already have drawn out maps that are over a year old in RL and would not want to have to change their maps. Plus it would probably be a lot easier to do it that way anyway.

Thanks for the enthusiasm! This is going to be hard... and I'll need all the help I can get.

If possible, can all those who are interested provide me with:

1) A map of their nation / a detailed verbal description

2) Who they want to be near to / attached to.

Ooh, boy... This is going to be a huuuge planet... No matter, I'm going half-space-nation soon anyways

You can find my pretty overly sized map from the link in my sig... If you take it, nevermind the km-count in the lower corner

Can Regions submit thier maps "as is"??

I know of three major regions that would be willing to do this under the condition that the project does not interfere with the maps they've created. (and workered very hard on)

Ok, this is my plan to replace earths forever.

I propose we create a map of "NS Earth" including all of the International Incidents mainlands and colonisation RP continents. Maybe even the earths. Now, these are the things I DONT want to here in this thread, because these ludicrous arguments have stopped all preivious attempts at this, except maybe Eropid:

"Yeah but there's like 100,000 nations"

I dont care. There are only a few dozen II nations.

"Well... nations are always being created."

Yah... I can update it.

"But... but... must... ruin... idea... how will you design each nation? And who will they be near?"

People can say who they want their nations to be near, and people can describe their nations to me. We could even get OMG ajoined nations and not just islands!


Anyway, is there interest in this idea?
Here I'll give you my map, and you can add it on: http://www.geocities.com/funkmasterflex43/map.jpg (Yes, I know its crappy, but it'll do in my opinion) I'd like to be next to Roach-Busters and Pacitalia.

http://img50.exs.cx/img50/8382/buechoria6hh.jpg

Have fun. A map of Buechoria

I'm all for the idea, I claim Israel post-6 day war borders, Kerguellen, and NW Indiana and NE Illinois

Yar.

I cant promise they will look exactly thr same, for issues of scale, but the nations will be the same shape and place proportional to each other.

I'm all for the idea, I claim Israel post-6 day war borders, Kerguellen, and NW Indiana and NE Illinois
I can give you a nation that looks like that, but I cant give you Israel, and you cant claim it, because this isnt an Earth thread.

sounds interesting... of course I'll need time to dig my maps up and make them scannable and so in the interim, I'll just watch...

hum...interesting like the idea......add all the small earths into an uber earth to cut down spam on the forum......genuis

OOC: are you talking about making an whole new earth or simply adding up the whole earths into an world using the diffrent earths (earth v/ earth vi) and using them as a kind of region?

bump

Sounds like an awesome idea. Anyway, here's a map of the lands that I RP with:

http://uploads.savefile.com/users/uploads/malkyer.gif

I'm sure it interferes with some other people's claims or whatever, so I can negotiate to figure it out if you need me to.

Guys, this ISN'T EARTH. It's just NS nations, not real life ones.

Guys, this ISN'T EARTH. It's just NS nations, not real life ones.

I know, but that map shows the boundary of the lands I RP as, in other words, my NS nation. I know this isn't an Earth x+1

Great idea, Prae. I'll send you a map ASAP on this thread.

The only problem you'll have is nation overlap and the resulting arguements. For example, I have territory on Earth I took in a war. But that territory resulted from an IGNORE of another nation, who I took the territory from.

I might as well join in. After all, this is a pretty good idea. Anyways, heres the map of my nation:

http://img141.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img141&image=billy2fs.png


EDIT:

If you don't mind, I think my nation would be best suited to Section 3.

Wow, quite the project to undertake. You have my support. :)

http://kfox.gamehorizons.net/Pacitalia/pacitalia_officialmap.jpg - there's an example of the map you should submit (if I may be so blunt as to use my own map as one :p)

As long as I don't have to do any updating of the map-things...I don't have that much free time. Looks like a sound idea, but the updating of the maps...could be a chore. And I don't know that it will replace all the Earths...I don't like them, but I don't know if the people that do will give it up for this.

My map and my region should be easy to plug in to this project, because my region is a series of isles (no land borders between nations) surrounded by thousands of miles of vast expanses of ocean. I made it like that for this purpose, so I can easily put it in anywhere depending on the roleplay.

My map is right here (http://home.ripway.com/2004-1/54396/my_map.jpg) although it would be easier for you if you just drew a few squiggly land masses, surrounded it with plenty of sea, and captioned it 'Here be the Isles of Arden.'

I decided something very similar. :p I've yet to formalize a map for my nation yet... but I really like the sound of this project, if you care for a newbie's opinion. ;)

If you want to give it a shot, go ahead but the problem is that any attempts are usually futile because maps get out of date so quickly.

I'd still be interested to see what you come up with or whoever does this comes up with.

Well Prae, I say break the map into about 10 sub maps....that will help somewhat.

You should know what my nation is (If Phoenixius did what he said he would do) but if not I will submit mine soon.

Great idea, I was kind of getting sick of those earths myself. (Did I just say that?)
I'll discuss this with my allies and region members.

I like the Earths but w/e ill join just stick me w/e im an archapelo....

http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/maps/philippines.manila.jpg

yes i know these isnt an earth but im AWFUL at making maps so just use that as my map i guess

again stick me anywere you'd like....in an ocean or island chain....better an island chain....

Wow Prae, nice idea.

I am with you all the way. Here are some suggestions if you are willing to hear them:

Try getting a large world map and using that. Most people will say about where and some nations have actually RolePlayed taking over the lands.

Yes, this will have some people overlapping, and this would mean some would not like this map, but who cares?

Here is some details you may want (With my information put in):

General Location on RL Earth: Inbetween S. America and Africa
Size in Compairason to RL Nations: Entire of China and North/South Korea Combined
Terrian: Islands
Any Colonies or Territories: One; Thunder Bolt (Entire of Manchuria)

Of cource that could over lay with others, but it gives a good idea of what it should look like. Also, try getting regions like

Great Idea...just one question. Can we still RP in Earths if we join??

I have a map of my country in my sig. Island chain in the Indain Ocean...

I'm on the Wysterian maps, which could almost be described as a separate "Earth," though I always get off it with ships.

I just assume either my ships and planes can float in space or there's some sort of portal that goes to everyone else. But, if you can include the Wysterian maps in your maps, that would be good.

Yayness, for this is a neat project.
Anyway.. Here are the images that I've made of Izistan.
Central Izistan (http://img47.exs.cx/img47/3589/IzistaniIslands.jpg)
South Western Izistan (http://img127.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img127&image=izistansouthwest3ec.png)
South Eastern Izistan (http://img104.exs.cx/img104/7446/izistansoutheast4xp.jpg)
North Izistan (http://img147.exs.cx/img147/544/northizistab7wf.png)

I haven't figured out the sizes, but they'd be big. Izistan exists in the North-Western Pacific or a larger NS ocean.

I've always played chellis as being the same land shape as africa. Its similar to siberia in the south of chellis(below sudan, in reference), and warmer(but still frigid) in the north, meaning the nation would probably be in the southern half of the world. None of the regions, cities, etc are the same, and there is no Madagascar.

I also have Torres, but I should leave that out for simplicity...

kroblexskij is basically the north slope borough , except i airbrushed that out.

and yes its quite cold, even thought most of it is under big heated domes and stuff. :D

This may seem confusing, but i'm South of Sel Appa, somewhere near the equator (lots of jungles in MassPwnage)

Here's my basic map:

There is a simple way, ask founders/delegates if they have regional maps. Using those regional maps, draw the layout of the "earth" based on those maps and requests.

Great idea!! First time I've ever heared it. Listen, my Delegate, Cav, is making a regional map, so I'll refer you to him. TG him, and ask him for it.

Alternatively, to keep the map legible and easy on the eye, why not agree on a global legend and colour scheme? That way you can still link to regionals and the end product will look many times more professional.
If webspace becomes an issue, telegram me and I'll set some aside. I also have a map of my nation, and I'm working on one of Atacama.

This sounds like a great idea! Alittle difficult, but if pulled off well, it will turn out great. I'll get my map on a website and post a link here ASAP.

I have to ask, shouldn't we have a form of scale? Like, one centimeter/inch equal ten miles or something?

Lol. So how much bandwith do you want to waste?
Anyways, some regions aren't really regions, more alliences so people can talk to each other easier (like the CFA).
The major problem I see, which can be fixed, is the distribution of resources. We don't want people to be saying "I have 13214234213423421341 million tons of gold and 2342342 billion tons of uranium!"
We could fix this with a commitee deciding stuff.

Or does it even NEED to show the recources? Can't it just show their geographical location?

But ... must ... ruin ... idea ... somehow ... ;)

Anyway, I would be willing to hell, just contact me on the OMP (I'm Tokarev).

As for me, I just use a slightly modified map of Japan, I'll see if I can dig up a copy (I have it handdrawn here, but I don't have a scanner. If I can find a digicam ...)

I will give you my region map soon, for it being made. For now, I claim Sardinia!

The Dominion is located on a continent the general size of Antarctica (called Forlorn Hope) in the southern and central Pacific Ocean. The northern edge of Forlorn Hope just crosses the equator. The continent is roughly 2000 kilometers across.

During the course of play on II, EOE has occupied and fortified several islands and archipelagoes across the Pacific:

The southern half of New Caledonia- S. Pacific, NE of Australia
Howland Island- N. Pacific, 1/2 way between Hawaii and Australia
Baker Island- N. Pacific, near Howland Island
Clipperton Island- N. Pacific, 1200 km SW of Mexico
Johnson Atoll- N. Pacific, 1300 km SW of Hawaii
Palmyra Atoll- N. Pacific, 1/2 way between Samoa and Hawaii
Cook Islands- S. Pacific, 1/2 way from Hawaii to New Zealand
Isla de la Pasqua (Easter Island)- S. Pacific, W of Chile
Islas Juan Fernandez- S. Pacific, W of Santiago, Chile
Jarvis Island- S. Pacific, 1/2 way between Hawaii and Cook Islands
Nauru- S. Pacific, S of Marshall Islands
Sala y Gomez- S. Pacific, W of Chile (near Easter island)
Wallis and Futuna- S. Pacific, 2/3 way between Hawaii and New Zealand
Galapagos Islands- S. Pacific, W. of Ecuador

I have a map of Forlorn Hope (showing the nations there) which I'll be happy to email you if you like.


TEO

I can give you a nation that looks like that, but I cant give you Israel, and you cant claim it, because this isnt an Earth thread.
sounds fair Prae.

Bump!
