Europe Land Claims (Attn: TWSP & Trivalvia)

OOC:

Howdy.

I have been looking through various threads and talking to a few people trying to figure out who all our neighbors are.

Here is what I have come up with so far:

Undisputed Claims
Ackistan - Belgium & Netherlands
TWSP - Germany
Trivalvia - France & Luxembourg
Errikland - Denmak (just a colony)
Blainesville - Switzerland (occupied by TWSP & Trivalvia)

Other Claims

Great Nari - In one of the Ackistan/CP war threads, he wanted Ireland. I haven't seen Great Nari around lately, but he may want that territory. I am fine with this claim if you two are.

Dartia - In one of the Ackistan/CP war threads, he said he wanted Corsica. Knowing now that Trivalvia owns France, he wants Italy. It makes sense now that his nation is way bigger than 20 million or whatever he had. I am fine with this claim if you two are.

North Tolemac - He is a newb in the same region I am in. He wants to be Sweden. Even though he wants to join GASN :rolleyes: , he seems alright. I am fine with this claim if you are.

Clandonia Prime - Wants a colony in Scandinavia. Since his nation and mine are enemies, I would rather see him work for that colony (conquer it or whatnot) instead of him just having it. If you guys disagree, I can live with it.

Here is a map of our area as I think it should be (it doesn't include the islands off of France that Trivalvia has though):

TWSP - Germany

OOC: TWSP is not Germany, sorry. It is just land that looks like Germany, but had nothing to do with the RL Germany’s cities and etc. So, it is not Germany.

OOC: I don’t think so, not how TWSP told me. I think everybody else just thought it was in that area.

To this date, I don’t get why any of you have RL Europe land. Not of you have a name that has something to do with the nations that you claimed.

Ackistan - Sounds more like a Russia nation not a West Europe nation.
The World Soviet Party - Sounds more like a Russia nation then Germany.
Blainesville - Sounds like a town in the USA
Trivalvia - Don’t sound like Europe nation.
Errikland - Same as Trivalvia

But that is me, it is my opinion.

OOC:
Lol i haven't seen a full Rl europe nation claim thread for along time, not since the Earths got popular (which really started due to disputes over who got which RL nation).

Now of course this could just be a totally different continent that just happens to look like Rl europe but is actually in the south pacific (note i use RL oceon names merely as a way of dividing the NS earth into handy sections).

The great part is, with just general NS, everyone can have claim to it, but all these 'Greece's could be on different, albeit identical, continents.

EP has it in one, it is just the case of sorting out which people's europe you are part of.

The Transylvania: it doesn't have to be the south pacific it could be anywhere, seeing as the NS earth is so infintly vast. Also just because the land your nation occupies is indentical to an RL nation it doesn't mean your nation has to culturally simialr to the RL occupant, heck the weather doesn;t even need to be same, stick it in the southern hemishpere so that the mediterainian countries are cold and scandanavia coutnries hot!

OOC: I get you on that. But it is a good idea to have these land somewhere else. The NS Earth is like four times larger then the real Earth. That would be funny to see the Scandinavian countries hot like 100 degrees and plus.

Ya, the NS world is huge. There are probably 20+ Europes... This thread is just to determine what one of them looks like.

Transylvania, I know my nation's name doesn't sound very European. Ackistan was like my 30th choice. After my first 20 or so choices were already taken, my standards dropped somewhat :D

Sure, why not?

I must warn you though, that map up there is no enterily accuarate. For instance, you'll find that Trivalvia doesnt look like France at all.

Just tell us what do you want to be, I think I have a map somewhere around, I'll add you.

Trivalvia
20-10-2006, 22:55
*cough* I'd have to agree that the territory the nations have claimed do not reflect Europe, and my nation is certainly not designed as a European analog.

This is the map that TWSP and I have agreed upon:

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n26/andrewc3/trivalviaandneighbors.jpg

I draw your attention to two items in particular:

First is the scale. TWSP had his map with a 1 pixel = 5 kilometers resolution, so bringing my map to scale and merging it with his resulted in the scale bar you see on the upper left. By this scale, TWSP, while having the shape of Germany, is much larger, closer to Russia's size really. Trivalvia is smaller (closer to RL Brazil in size) but still quite big. Ackistan and Blainesville, not to mention Errikland's colony, are also fairly large compared to the RL countries they were roughly based on (in terms of location).

Second is Trivalvia's coastline... this was designed long before we started to worry about a large scale map, and hence does not resemble France at all.

So, my recommendation for those wishing to claim territory next to us: use the RL nations as a rough indicator of where your country is, but don't use its exact borders and scale.

EDIT: Ackistan, I had to take a few liberties with the general shape of your country when making the map... my original map had unclaimed territory to its northeast, while TWSP had unclaimed territory to its northwest (the spots where "Belgium" and "The Netherlands" were), so your representation on this map was a result of the two maps merging... if you have any issues with this, feel free to TG me and we'll make some adjustments. Though I think it looks good as is, no?

Yume Sekai: You can probably still claim land in the same location as one of the nations you suggested, just that now there will likely be nations / unclaimed land between you and the rest of us.

Depending on how this goes, I will probably be expanding my map to include other nations.

Trivalvia
20-10-2006, 23:41
Hm... that does raise another interesting point: climate of the continent we're forming here.

Because of the scale, we're forming a continent that would rival Asia in size and that has a number of consequences, climate and weather-wise. Inland areas can expect more extreme conditions (think of Siberia and the Gobi Desert in Asia).

If we decide that we're closer to the North Pole, than countries like TWSP will likely have Siberia-like conditions for a good chunk of the year If there are any mountains in the northern half of TWSP, there might even be some small glaciers there. Near the south, especially if there are few mountains, you might see a desert forming. Blainesville, being entirely landlocked (unless we decide to give it a coastline on its southern side) might be all desert. Trivalvia's islands would have a more temperate, albeit cooler climate (I think Bivalve Island might have a very British climate), and its mainland, which has a number of hills and some mountains to the south, might be able to retain enough moisture to keep from developing desert conditions to the south. Ackistan might be a mix - colder winters and cool summers.

All of this, of course, has a lot of effects for our countries and actions in them... if the CA-TWSP war goes on much longer, for example, CA forces will have to RP losses due to the cold. Trivalvian and TWSP peacekeeping forces in Blainesville might have to take desert survival into account. And so on.

Just to clarify... My objection isn't to him having islands. My objection is that he wants them to threaten me, and he has not role-played their acquisition, which I would oppose.

His mainland is in the Golden Triangle region, which I believe is near Thailand, Laos, and Burma.
Clandonia Prime
21-10-2006, 00:13
Either way I can threaten you without having an airbase, if Great Nari dosn't return I might take his base....

Ackistan: good point.

Clandonia Prime: if you can threaten Ackistan without an airbase why do you need land close to him?

I don't have time to read all the forum, so I tend to do searches for my nation, Ackistan, and Naasha to see what they are up to. Now that I know about some of my other neighbors, I'll keep an eye out for you guys too. Feel free to drop me a telegram if something goes down in our neighborhood or if your nation needs help with something.

See ya'll around!

21-10-2006, 23:33
Maldorians,

Maybe a week and a half ago, Errikland posted in the TWSP invasion thread that he wanted a colony in Denmark, so his nation would have an excuse to be interested in that conflict. Nobody objected, but nothing was said about your nation having a colony north of him. If you and Errikland decided to be neighbors months ago, it seems like your land ought to be adjascent to land he has claimed longer.

Anyway, I personally don't mind you having Sweden, but TWSP has voiced objections. I suspect he doesn't want a hostile nation to suddenly have land right next to him, and I can definitely relate to that.

At any rate, as it has been said, there are probably 20 different Europes in Nation States, so there is no reason you can't have what you want, just not right next to TWSP.



Dartia,

I already sent you a telegram. :D
Naasha
21-10-2006, 23:44

I assume there's no problem with having my nation about 6000 miles south-west of this faux-europe, like I said in previous threads?

No problem here.

I don't think we should be giving out colonies. If people want their homeland near us, I am cool with that usually. I get the feeling "colony" is just a polite way of saying "military base". I think if people want to have influence in our region, there nations should be there, not some dinky colony that can impact our nations greatly, but is of little consequence to them if they lose it.

Just my opinion.

NO Asgarnian Colony may have a military base. Only International Airports that are capable of landing military cargo aircraft and cilvilian cargo aircraft to bring supplies like building materiels and construction crews. Maybe that'll reassure you. Besides, I'm a GASN member as well.

Then why do you want those colonies?


I am right about these people that want colonies just wanting military bases. Hell, Wanderjar has already created a new thread so he can use the colony he wants to start attacking someone.

For the record, I personally am not recognizing Wanderjar's claim to have land near us unless it is his homeland. I vote "no" for all colonies.

No, I'm not using it to attack someone mate ;)

I already had a fleet there to invade Maldorians. I've been moving them closer day by day in the RP, with Maldorians not saying anything about them until earlier today, when he thought I was bluffing.....he was wrong! *laughs hysterically*

Sorry to bother you but I have two questions

1. Can I see the updated map?

2. Is there an RP thread for this?

There isn't really an official thread for this. The people shown on our map participate in many threads. We have GASN nations, CA nations, etc. Pretty much the only thing we all have in common is that we are modern technology.

This is the map I made, but some people have modified their territories (like adding islands off their coast, so it isn't 100% accurate).

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p119/Ackistan/map-of-europe.gif

- Added Wanderjar (even though I hate colonies, but I seem to be in the minority)
- Added Wilhelmsborough
- Added New Canton (another newb)

Any objections?

This map is just a reference I'm afraid so that we all know roughly where each other are.

An ongoing rp between Ackistan, myself and Clandonia Prime, (with a little Dartia too) is here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=503698). That's open if you'd like to join as a peacekeeping force or support one of the many rebel groups.

I don't know what other rp's to suggest, there's always some tension between the nations in the north but I'd stay out of the big wars for now.

We already are role-playing. Blainesville and TWSP had a war. Trivalvia and I are doing some military exercise. It looks like North Tolemac is doing some sort of blockade of Corporate Alliance ships near you. Naasha/Surdun is kinda having a civil war, which a few nations (including myself) have meddled in. All sorts of stuff is going on around you in various threads...

You are free to get involved in the stuff that is going on, but you aren't limited to role-playing with just us. The people on this map are just a tiny percentage of the world.

Btw... updated the map for you Naasha. You may need to refresh it. I'm surprised nobody has snagged Great Britain yet. It is right by me, and is looking pretty appealing :D

You've fought wars with Blainesville and myself. You've described Trivalvia, Blainesville, and myself as part of your "axis of evil". If you tried to colonize anywhere near us, there would be stiff opposition. If you want to role-play taking some land near us by force, go for it. Alternatively, you could try to convince someone to give you land or basing rights. No freebies though.

What about if I take control of Great Naris islands? Hes been inactive for several weeks now. I could take them easily while your having your little wargames.

OOC:

Howdy.

I have been looking through various threads and talking to a few people trying to figure out who all our neighbors are.

Here is what I have come up with so far:

Undisputed Claims
Ackistan - Belgium & Netherlands
TWSP - Germany
Trivalvia - France & Luxembourg
Errikland - Denmak (just a colony)
Blainesville - Switzerland (occupied by TWSP & Trivalvia)

Other Claims

Great Nari - In one of the Ackistan/CP war threads, he wanted Ireland. I haven't seen Great Nari around lately, but he may want that territory. I am fine with this claim if you two are.

Dartia - In one of the Ackistan/CP war threads, he said he wanted Corsica. Knowing now that Trivalvia owns France, he wants Italy. It makes sense now that his nation is way bigger than 20 million or whatever he had. I am fine with this claim if you two are.

North Tolemac - He is a newb in the same region I am in. He wants to be Sweden. Even though he wants to join GASN :rolleyes: , he seems alright. I am fine with this claim if you are.

Clandonia Prime - Wants a colony in Scandinavia. Since his nation and mine are enemies, I would rather see him work for that colony (conquer it or whatnot) instead of him just having it. If you guys disagree, I can live with it.

Here is a map of our area as I think it should be (it doesn't include the islands off of France that Trivalvia has though):

ummm, I said I wanted north of Erikkan Nordland

Ackistan, I believe it should be majority not just one person deciding it.

Numerous nations have been expressing their opinions, so it isn't just one person. Still, your request sounds reasonable enough. Nations that have been playing a month or longer, have their homelands in our neighborhood, and are active in the forum are welcome to express their opinions (their vote). Those nations currently include TWSP, Trivalvia, Wanderjar, Wilhemsborough, Liberated New Ireland, and myself. If Blainesville becomes reasonably active, he can vote too. Other nations can chip in their opinions once they are old enough. You need a majority to get in. If a nation says nothing, they are considered to have abstained.

Agreeable to everyone?

Is this a request to have your nation in our neighborhood or are you asking to participate in the military exercises Trivalvia and I are having?

If you are wanting a nation, let us know what area appeals to you, and we will discuss it.

I noticed a couple of the new nations hadn't posted anything at all in the forum. I sent them telegrams suggesting they post something in the forum from time to time if they want land near us. If they don't, anyone object to them being axed? We are talking about brand new nations that have never posted in the forums.
