If no one's claimed it, I'd like the East Coast and Original 13 colonies.

Nobody as there are an infinite number of north americas, islands that look oddly like north america and continents that are the same shape except larger and located south of the equator in the NS earth/world

There are a ton of people playing this game. Pretty much every spot in the real world is claimed by multiple nations; so there are multiple Europes, Asias, North Americas, etc. Just pick a spot to call home and it is yours really.

I think you would have more fun though if you found some existing players to call your neighbors. For instance, I belong to a mock Europe. We have a map, and people pick where they want to be. There are a few other groups like that (Golden Triangle comes to mind). Anyway, I suggest you check a few of them out before deciding where to stake your claim.

Here is the area I belong to. New players are welcome, but it isn't US.

Since NS is a game with roughly 99,000 nations, and hundreds of players, I'd say there is no "official" North American claim.

Case in point: When I RP, I RP as an empire which owns four continents (that I myself created to be placed in the Pacific Ocean), two islands, three countries, and 22 of the 50 US states.


However, there are also nations who claim Japan, Liberia, and South Africa as their own, or even RP as those nations themselves, even as I RP the same with them. Same with the states; others undoubtedly own them, or RP them as separated states from the union.

So you can RP with them as your own, just as several do already.

In fact, the NS Earth is probably more than 100 times the real ones size. If it wasn't, my country would take up 51% of the real Earths entire landmass.
