NS World Map Version 1 is here (http://photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/?action=view&current=NSWorldMap.gif)!! Some nations have had to be editted for this to work, so please post here or TG me if you have any problems with the way your nation is represented. Also, not all nations are on here yet... namely those that supplied me with those horrible JPEG things. Still, everyone will be on there in due course.

I've had a think about this, and I've come up with the least labour intensive way of doing it. This is what you need to provide if you want to be part of it:

1) A map of your nation. Descriptions are too hard to interpret, and I dont have time. Sorry. The scale for the maps will be taken as:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/NSMPS.bmp

This applies even if you have a different scale on your map. I do not have the time or patience to edit every map to ensure equal scales. I might possible waive this when adding a regional map, as there are so many nations on it, but it's unlikely to be honest. Either accept that scale or redo your map.

2) If you want your nation attached to someone else's to form a continent (which is now possible yey!) then both nations have to post agreeing to it. It would be nice if this happened a bit, especially with nations that dont necessarilly (<- that is spelt wrong, but Im tired) like each other.

3) Remember to name the sea around you nation. If you dont I'll have to make something up.

4) Tell me (vaguely) how far from another inhabited landmass you want to be. I might add in some little unpopulated islands just for the fun of it :).

Anyway, tell me what you think and if you think any of this needs changing. Also, of course, feel free to submit your details and get on the map. Hopefully with this we can have realistic RPing without the need for Earths...

Final Note: This is a NS map. It is not an Earth world map with NS nations slotted into it.

I thought the MetaEarth thing was the NS Map project. Is this different, or will this include the MetaEarth continent?

This'll include the MetaEarth continent. And maybe the other earths as well. It really depends on how everyone wants to do this and also on what the "owners" of the Earths think.

Moutains in the north, a big ocean in the west. Bordered by Canales on the north, Cromagnonia in the northeast, Shangia to the direct east, and TNG in the south.
There is a big river in the western half of the nation. A massive mountain range divides the nation in half. A few islands off the west coast. The western half has gently rolling hills covered in grass. In the south is a huge desert and in the east there are mountains and deserts and a plain that borders Cromagnonia and Shangia.

This'll include the MetaEarth continent. And maybe the other earths as well. It really depends on how everyone wants to do this and also on what the "owners" of the Earths think.
I have no problem with you including Earth IV if you wanted too. But I must note that I haven't completely finished revamping it. I am halfway through Africa and prepping to start on Europe. When I get to asia, which is last, I will have to divide it into regions.

what is metaearth?

Thanks. I'll try to make up a map tomorrow, although I did specify that I'd prefer that you submitted a map yourself. How wide would you say your nation is? What kind of shape is it? And who is TNG? It rings a bell, but Im not entirely sure.

Ok. I'll get my map up soon, the MetaEarth stuff will be colonies for me.

No problem, I'll get one for you. It will just be a second. Meantime disregard previous description.

Hi,

Don't know if you can use any of our (Wysteria's) maps, but if you're interested, please take a look:

Political: http://wysteria.diamondq.com/Wysteria/wysteria_region.htm

Click the continents on the political maps to see their geographical maps.
Click individual nations on the geographical maps to see national maps.

Have fun! And you decide where you want it to be.

And um... it's still getting updated so don't be surprised if I keep reposting it.

Ok, thanks Ramissle.

Whitter-: Thanks for letting us put Earth IV up and thanks for getting a map. MetaEarth is a made up continent I made a few weeks ago to try to make a more imaginative earth. It was reasonably successful... not that great an effect though.

Equus: Cool map, but do any of those nations RP? I'm aware that there are rather a lot of nations in NS, and so to keep the mpa more streamlined and useful it would be better to mainly use the II RPing countries. Still, I could always put that one on at the side of the main map so it doesnt affect the other nations... I might have to alter it a bit for the NS map version though. Is that ok? I'll see how it goes.

TIOR: Thanks :)

The southern half of the continent and all Islands belong to Whittier.

2) N/A (my nation is part of Asia, but it's a series of islands)

3) Gulf of Thailand

4) About 500 miles SE of Thailand

Thanks Whittier- and RB. I'm not sure if Thailand is going to be on there though... do you mind if it isnt therefore positioned near it?

Sure, that's fine.

Excellent

Map of Sarzonia (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/msarzo/Sarzonia_Map.gif) (designed by Granzi)

Map of Atlantian Oceania region (http://www.3wideracing.com/forums/index.php?c=) (designed by Vilita) Sarzonia is on the lower left.

The region is well-hidden so there's no real location for it, but for RP purposes, I've said we're in the South Atlantic (between South America and Africa).

Lachenburg Map: http://img83.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img83&image=pushka26xs.png (http://)

My nation is located in North-Central Europe, near where Denmark is.

Heres my map:
http://img141.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img141&image=ramisslemapnew0zm.png
I don't care who I'm attached to really. Just put me on a continent somewhere.

Thanks for all the maps. I might enlarge some of the maps, for example TIoR's, as each individual nation seems much smaller than those of the other maps. Maybe shrink others. Just to make the sizes better. Of course, nations will be different sized but not hugely. Is this ok?

Anyway, The Macabees, what is that attached to? It would look a bit odd for land just to end on two sides and fall into the sea. The same with Lachenburg... Denmark and North Central Europe won't be on this map, because it's a NS map.

New Rule: No JPEGs. I'm making the first version right now, and in the time it takes to edit up 1 JPEG I can do 10 GIFs or BMPs because of the colour degredation.

Alright then, Just place it somewhere in the North Sea and that will be fine.

This isnt the real world with NS nations slotted into it, it's a NS World Map. Nothing to do with Earth.

Hmmm... well the part attached to the water is my only coastline... so, attach the left border with a nation called Zarbia (if he doesn't post a map..just take in mind that its land)..and up north with Guffingford if he posts a map..and if not the same applies.

Ok, I'll do that when they both post their maps, but as you didnt specify that i could hardly just have your nation fall into the sea on two sides and have a nation that disappears into nothing on the other.

You can do that too..whatever is easier for you man!

I'll do it properly when I have the other two maps, but until then I have to keep it as it is.

Alright then, just put me somewhere mountainous and cold.

I likey...Good job.

Plop it down next to whatever you want, maybe close to Sarzonia? Unless theres an Ireland... then I want near Ireland.

Nice work Praetonia.

I've cooked up a continent with the Borneric Empire and Freudotopia on it, but I'm looking to add more nations to this continent, or preferably onto a second continent of similar or lesser size located across a channel from Generia. If any nation is interested in sharing a continent, and Praetonia is open to new editions to the map, and doesn't mind, send me a TG.

Sure Im open to new additions... the map only has about 6 nations on it right now.

Alright. Expect a new continent sometime in the near future. I hope you have space up in the northern reaches, since Generia is rather chilly.

Awesome!!!

I'll redo mine since I can't get it to convert to bmp.

I'll try to get a nice continent made up for Arda. Yes, that will be nice to have.

May I suggest ice caps? I'm working on my map, and it'll be geographically similar to Canada or Russia and have its northern coast in the ice or close to it.

I'll put the ice in my map, and you decide if you want to use it not. I'll also define islands in the ice (good for sub-warfare RPs)

This wont have ice caps, but if you want your nation and the surrounding seas to have ice then that's fine.

http://img82.exs.cx/img82/1452/samplerebels8kf.gif (http://www.imageshack.us)

I'd like my country to be in the north, so that it has a climate like Canada or Russia, and I'd like the eastern coast to be close to another country-continent, maybe 1000km or so.

also, here's an island holding of ours, placed about 2 or 3 thousand kilometers west-south-west of the main nation, known as Sarnoasten.

Ok. Very nice map. I'll get to work on V0.2 of the world map and it should be out tomorrow.

Hoping to see a version 2...

Also, why don't nations who recognize this map as their world put a link to it in their signatures?

I belive as an up-and-coming weapons dealer, as well as a relatively active (though new) nation with no other group affiliations, I deserve a small spot on this map. I'm going to post a national map later today or tomorrow. Reserve a VERY small spot on the map out in the middle of nowhere for me.
