NationStates Jolt Archive

This thread is to discuss and assign land claims in the Nova Europa region for the purpose of establishing who our neighbors are. Anyone wanting to claim some territory as their homeland can post in this thread. Noobs are welcome. You do not need to belong to any particular Nation States region to participate. You do need to be a modern tech nation, and you must be at least somewhat active in International Incidents. If you want a colony in the region, you are free to ask. Be warned that colonies are less likely to be granted than homelands.

Our Europe is about 3 times larger than the real thing, so all the territories are reasonably large.

This is the new proposed map for Nova Europa. I had a hard time finding a good Europe/Asia blank map that didn't look like crap, so I figured Africa would be the next best option for expansion. Let me know what you guys think.

Like the name, sounds like something from the future. Like some planet or space ship. Well, good luck!

And I say go with D.

Didn't we also mention seomthing about how this Europe is about the same size as Asia, area-wise?

Its ok by me.

I'm Greenland btw for all my European enemies to know, and I think it would be fine to have the Africa topic of colonys used in this. Adds a bit more sense of where everyone is.

Portugal bores me....being next to an inactive is annoying and its too small

Is it possible to change?

Hmm... I sent a telegram to New Canton asking if they were planning to be active. How about we wait a couple days for him to respond. If he doesn't, you can be assigned Spain. That sound alright to you and everyone?

Hmmm this intrigues me. If I were to take land it would definately be the Ukraine and Moldova to the Republican Monarch of Granate. But the only question is will I have time? This, plus Earth 5, and the other rps I may join will probably suck up alot of time.


Meh.... sign me up, I've got nothing better to do.

Ackistan, this is little of topic, but can you check out Bretton’s thread. It is rude not to answer people. Thanks!

Good deal. Since you missed the first land claims thread, l'll explain how establishing a claim works...

Basically, you say what land you want (already done). I wait a day or so, and if nobody objects to your claim, you get added.

Looks good Ackistan. I'm already roleplaying with many of you and this community looks to be shaping up nicely with a good mix of young and older nations.

[OOC: real life stinks. that is all]

IC: Just a note on Trivalvia's claim on the map: the lower half of the region 'claimed' isn't ours. Neither is "Corsica" If another nation wants to take those regions, be my guest :) (Just make our southern border a straight line halfway down "France")

I'm in favour of D) as well, but B) sounds like a good option too. How many of us are already RPing in the 'Colonization of Africa' thread?

Ezaltia: yes, Nova Europa is roughly the size of RL Europe and Asia put together... this is because of the scale we're using when TWSP and I put our two maps together. Trivalvia itself is almost the size of Brazil, and TWSP would be larger still - about Russia's size, IIRC.

All of you, remember, you can modify your country (like Trivalvia did), no need to keep the nation's RL Borders.

I've been thinking of taking Great Nari's island home after he appears to have left NS. I asked Ackistan who seemed up for it then, he said no.

If noobs are allowed to join then, I would ask what country I'm eligible to take?

If the un-named countries are up for grabs then I would be interested in: Britain/ Hungary?

You are allowed to take any coutry that is blank. You can also take a couple smaller countries that are next to one another.

Btw.... I am also in favor of option "D", so people dont get confused as to which Africa is beneath us. Also, I don't think the "Colonization of African and the Middle East" really jives with Nova Europa. The new Africa was inhabited by primitive natives, who never encountered modern man before. I kinda get the feeling they would be in some remote part of the world.

Ackistan why did you not want to be in the RP I proposed to you?

I have partially updated the map. You may need to refresh your browser to see the changes. Anyone wanting to stake a claim, I'm recommending South France and Portugal at the moment.

It is your homeland. You are free to do whatever you want with it. You can really interact with whoever you choose even if they are not on our map. Your neighbors are involved in all sorts of things that might interest you though...

Naasha is having a civil war that a few of us are involved in.
My nation is under quarantine after a viral outbreak. Some people are helping me out.
The World Soviet Party (TWSP) has a storefront he is alwasy working on.
TWSP & North Tolemac do stuff with the GASN alliance, which you may want to check out.
Wanderjar is in a couple wars with Jaredcohenia and Emperor Nero.
Errikland is also fighting Jaredcohenia.
Some of our nations are participating the in colonization of Africa thread.
Trivalvia is organizing our regional alliance.

There are all sorts of things going on. Feel free to get involved in anything that isn't marked "closed" or you can start something up yourself.

As I mentioned, Trivlavia is organizing a regional alliance. Participation is not required. The link to that thread is here:

Ackistan hello????

I don't want to derail this thread, so I sent you a telegram.

Hey Ackistan, nice map, but you got Wilhelmsborough's location wrong. We don't have territory in Greece or Turkey. My country is located on the Crimean Peninsula, which is just off the map.

Perhaps you can get rid of the false land claims and just make an arrow, labeled "Wilhelmsborough", pointing off the map towards the Crimean Peninsula.

Other than that, your map is very ambitious, and I applaud you for it.

I gotta say, I'm surprised nobody's taken Britain yet.

EDIT: you know what also might be fun? If we made a NS region for us. Just a suggestion.

Does the land have to be your home land? Because our homeland in in Africa, Ethopia? So could this just be some extra land? And if so, can we have Romania?

I think Wanderjar' Poland.

Fixed it, but thank you anyways. You got an Embassy thread?

Me? No, but perhaps that would be fun to do sometime. Allies since 1873, right?:p

Lol, yup. :-p Im thinking about making an Orginization. Interested? If so TG me, I need to stop cluttering this thread.

It is nice to see we are getting some more neighbors.

I vote for option "D".

Hmm... I would like a colony in what would be Portugal.

Neo Eursea: as has been stated before, colonies are generally not permitted for claims - this is for homelands specifically. Ackistan has the details if you wish to know more.

Sorry I was in a bit of a hurry and I didn't take the time to read that much.

So can I? ^^

The above statements mean pretty much no I'm afraid.

So can I? ^^


Dunno yet.

As I mentioned in the first post, colonies are less likely to get approved. I am personally against giving out colonies. Call me paranoid, but I always suspect people that ask for a colony really just want a military base in our area. Therefore, I am ALWAYS against awarding them. However, this is a democratic process, and I've been overruled before.

Any Nova Europa nation is free to express their opinion as to whether or not you and Neo-Erusea should get the colonies you want. I am voting against it. It is nothing personal. Like I said, I always vote against colonies. Majority rules though. If some nations come forward saying they want you in, I'll add you.

Understood.

Im against it too, no more colonies. We've got enough with Errikland (if he still has his).

There is now a Nova Europa region, which you guys can join if you like. It is not required.

Understood.

Unless, of course, you want to move your homeland here.

Mmmm, if I get to keep Ethopia then yes.

b) The Africa south of us is the Africa from the Colonization of Africa thread (if the people in that thread agree to it)

I'll agree to that. It would have helped if I was TG'd, though. :p

I agree also. Maybe we should make a new earth or orginization? Ya know, just an idea.

Mmmm, if I get to keep Ethopia then yes.

You could make Ethiopia your colony, and move your homeland here. Just a suggestion, and may I also suggest Finland.

Im not a fan of colonies. I call them states or provinces and they work much the same.

I don't mind the colonies so long as they leave some of the better locations (like Great Britain and Portugal) open for the people wanting homelands.

bump.

Greetings to all countries in Nova Europa,
I have recently dicovered your region and believe it to be an excellent RP environment. Would it be possible for me to join?
I am a very active NS player and would happily engage in any international incidents involving Nova Europa.
If my proposal is accepted, I would like to make a claim for the land belonging to real-life UK. I understand I will have to wait a day or so for any potential objections to my occupation of this territory.
I look forward to hearing your reply

If this is cool, I'd like to expand north into Estonia.

I'm all for it, just wait for someone with a little more authority to confirm I think. :)

Could I make Russia my homeland?

I really wish someone would take Sweden, Scandanavia seems so incomplete.

ooo, ooo!!!!

Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia.

Basically, Yugoslavia. If I can't claim all of that, I'll stick with S/M.

Meh, realized this is a region esque one.

If this is cool, I'd like to expand north into Estonia.
If he's allowed to do this, could I go north into Belerus?

I think small little landgrabs like that are fine.

Ackistan is the unofficial administrator of this, so we'll wait and see what he says, but I expect it's positive.

@Gadeva: Welcome, I'm sure your claim will be approved. When it is feel free to join us in the game region 'Nova Europa' if you wish.

This may sound nuts but can I grab Portugal too dunno why just thought I'd ask

I am working on the map right now.

Here is what I am planning to do in case people have objections:

- Adding Gardeva
- Adding Gente Del Agua
- Expanding Wanderjar
- Expanding Granate
- Carving up Russia to a small extent
- Removing Blainesville
- Modifying borders to unused plots of lands to make them more attractive to newcomers.
- Relocating Wilhelmsborough (meant to do that earlier)

Thank you, also, could we make this like an Earth VII, since you have permission to use the African Colinize, why not a whole new Earth with already claimed territory?

I don't think this is a good idea because we already roleplay with many different people, so making this into a new earth would be rather contrary to the continent's purpose.

Yes your right, at the moment we are on NS Earth, everyone RP's with a certain group of people, Creating more Earths is complicating.

So just like, we play on a 10x bigger Earth? I mean if that's how it is it'd be fine with me, just saying I think we would want people to recognize our claims.

Yes we are playing on a Jupitor size Earth lol, lots of Europes and Africas.

This continent is on NS earth, the default forum community. Nova Europa is already recognised because it is widely held that we are not on the real europe, we've just based the continent on it.

Yes we are playing on a Jupitor size Earth lol, lots of Europes and Africas.

Lol, fine by me.:p

If our planet is 10 times bigger than earth, our gravity must be a bitch.

My nation no longer recognizes the existance of flying machine ;)

TG's Ack.

Lol haha. Well, I think we would wiegh less on Jupiter than Earth..

We would in fact, weigh so much more we'd be flat as pancakes. :D

Well if you're "Evolution" Theory is correct our pancakes asses you probable have gotten bred to be used to it. (I Apologize if that sounded hostile :p )

Well, we'd all be jelly-like creatures to survive there.

Check out the map and see if it is ok...

I modified Russia slightly to allow another player to occupy a spot near Sweden someday (since we are running out of room).

May need to refresh your browsers.

I am liking the expansion I got.

Looks good, I'd like to point the new joiners to the 'Sussex Conference' thread where they can apply to join the region's defence program and to the ingame region 'Nova Europa' which they can join if they wish.

EDIT: Link for the Sussex Conference (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=504678).

This may sound nuts but can I grab Portugal too dunno why just thought I'd ask

Are you mostly wanting more land or do you not want a neighbor?

If you just want more land, I was going to offer to add an island or something so Portugal could remain open to someone new.

If you don't want a neighbor down there, I could just assign it to you.

Just noticed I mislabeled Wilhelmsborough as being "west" of Naasha instead of east.

An Island or portugal....A Island would be better I plan to put a naval base there

Ya, I changed it, but you will need to hit "refresh" on your browser to see the changes.

My poor Russia ;-(

EOOC: Lol that would look so odd if you had a map of Asia there too, lol

Someone should be careful around me and Wanderjar. We are two large nations and we live next to each other.

I had to do something to leave a few decent plots open for newcomers. If you want it worked differently, let me know what you have in mind.

Eventually, we may use a Europe/Asian map.

Ack can you give me my Island or aint that possible anymore?

He already put your island on there. You just need to refresh.

When your group expands into Asia; I would like Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

Your nation has a pretty good sized population. If this is going to be your homeland, I would be willing to grant you #4 plus either #5 or #6.

This will be your homeland, right?

Probably, but none of those nations are real big. When we start assigning Asian territories, we are going to have a lot of plots to fill.

I would appreciate having 5 actually, and it would be a homeland of sorts. I will be sending one of my numerous puppets, but just imagine that it is my real country.

I can't leave my current region, mainly because I am the founder.

Also I would like to see Moorington get some land here, he's a good Rper.

Sorry. I was going to ask to have Morocco near you, but then I saw there is no Africa south of you.

You guys should let me in. You need a villain in your region :)

Quite hard seeing as how, those nations are way over there and we are way over here.

Just keep it to Europe for right now, anything else and New Europe having Asian territories could need a touch of explaining.

On Granate's recommendation, I say give the man his two plots.

Probably, but none of those nations are real big. When we start assigning Asian territories, we are going to have a lot of plots to fill.

Will these "new territories" have to be homelands?

I don't think all of them will be Homelands. Asia is huge. Colonies will be more readily accepted there then in Nova Europa. At least thats what I believe.

On Granate's recommendation, I say give the man his two plots.


The man is me, by chance?

Ok, looks good. Will update the map later.

We have to split up China methinks, if we expand.

I will welcome any new members, specially since this "Moorington" fellow seems to have such good recomendations. :D

Hello, I have been looking for a new region to join (tired of soloing my own), and have decided that of those I have seen, this is the best organized/most active. If I could join, I would very much like to do so. As to territory, 11 and 12 would seem to fit my nation best.

Thanks in advance.

I tried to go for a German-Russian Mix. Ukraine seemed like a likey option, but.... I am not sure now.

I want Tanzania!

Then NEA would stand for Nova Europa Africana :D

When we can RP, or just claim Afrikan colonies, I am calling out my intention of needing The Congo.

Just for the record, Im against us having colonies in that Africa, plus, I already have a province in the other Africa Zukkaria created.

If we're are going to claim colonies, I would like Somalia and possibly Ethiopia to make Granatian Eastern Afikana. But if we don't oh well, just a thought.

The proposed map expansion is to allow people to keep moving into our region once we have used up our space in Europe.

No colonies.

Gotcha. Would of been nice to have a Colony though...

So the new guys know, our Europe is about 3 times bigger than the real thing. Your territories are already very large. I think I'm going to edit the first post to mention that since I doubt people are going to read this entire thread :)

Gotcha. Would of been nice to have a Colony though...

If you want one badly enough, you can always take one by force once people start filling that area up.

That would be oh so mean.

Hey it is a cruel world after all ;)

Just for the record, Im against us having colonies in that Africa, plus, I already have a province in the other Africa Zukkaria created.

Ya, this wouldn't be Zukkaria's Africa. Otherwise it would be all filled up already. I have Madagascar there myself.

I have encouraged two new players that were buying stuff from my storefront to join us in Africa. They are Malhavok and Buristan. Buristan has a histrory thread he started, which looks real good.

Greater Morocco asked to be assigned Morocco maybe a week ago (before Africa was added actually).

Anyway, if anyone has objections then say so. I updated the map btw, but there may be some minor changes.
