Claiming Territory (MetaEarth)

Euroslavia

As the sun began to rise, the flag of Euroslavia shined brightly on another calm day at sea. Euroslavia has launched plans at colonizing a continent that had yet to be claimed. It's goal was to travel to the south-western side of the continent and establish itself there, as a peaceful colony. It was well known that other nations would try to establish their claim as fast as they could, so Euroslavia needed to take this chance by rushing the colonization efforts.

A small group of ships traveled eastward towards the unclaimed continent. They were expecting to find other nations there as well, colonizing it just as quickly as the ships left the port, within 24 hours of the notice. The colonization was rushed, but well prepared for what was going to happen next. If anyone would dare test them, they would be in for a shock. Thousands of citizens of Euroslavia quickly volunteered to join the party, mostly because of the fact that Euroslavia itself, was getting a bit crowded. There was one thing that prevailed among Euroslavians, the fact that all of them wanted a lot of space. That's why the major cities within Euroslavia are not 'crammed' like majority of other large cities.

The ships were reaching their destination as they began to approach the coastline. Each ship began to close the gap between the rest of the fleet, and began their procedural landing. The time for building a colony in the name of Euroslavia was now. No one knew exactly what to expect from it...

2 months later...

The colony had quickly been established, and a town had begun to settle down. Thousands of citizens hired a gigantic wave of contractors to build small ranch homes, leaving them with a huge profit. The economy of the small territory had shot up so quickly, much quicker than the Comrade had expected. The first baby born in the colony occured a few weeks after the initial landing. She was given the name Hope, and was made the 'representative' of the new life of the colony.

Aware of the scramble for the new continent, it was determined that Euroslavia would move as quickly as possible, to take land wherever it was attainable. Therefore, a doctrine had been declared, after explorers were sent to determine the size of the continent, that Euroslavia would make a large expansion towards the north, and the north east, to reach the other part of the ocean. The expansion wouldn't be too much to handle, however, it would take some time. A second wave of ships are currently being sent to the colony for military protection from its neighbors, in case they try to seize territory from them.
