Needing Neighbors (OOC)!

I now use a new map, and I need some neighbors.

More than one please, though. If you have hostile relations with me, that is fine, all the more fun. Copy down the map onto your desktop. Don't take up all the borderline- I'd like at least three "Next door neighbors". Draw/Paste your nation on this map:

If you can't squeeze your country to connect with the border, feel free to just make your nation a nationstate near mine. Preferably no/ only a few islands... My nation is about 2 million square miles to help with scale problems. Please don't use up half the space!

Hey, I've been looking for something like this for a while. A few things, however. 1) I'm crap at paint, so I'll link the map and hope someone nice will put it in. 2) The map itself is of Yafor 2, the island. IC'ly, I surround it with many peninsulae and other islands and I have used such for IC purposes, so if I am to be added into the map, you need to surround the actual island with many other similar things. TG me if you need anything.

I can give you samples of my writing if you need my RP'ing skills.

Map - the flag and such are a bit outdated, but the map is accurate. (http://www.kfox.gamehorizons.net/Pacitalia/yafor2map.jpg)

I'll squash it in- what's the area?


Also,

Everyone claiming a spot needs to want to RP with me/this group as your neighbors (trade, wars, disputes, etc.). No land-takey-run away stuff.

Area. Hm. Never quite thought of that. I've referred to Yafor 2 as the "size of a continent" in the past, but as to the actual size, it is up to your discretion - as is the peninsulae and islands that surround the island of Yafor 2. Of course, it would much larger than you, as that I have billions more people and thousands of miles of room to spare.

In case you want some of my past RPs, here is one (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=515862).

Since it was settled by Italy and Europe, why not call it Mediterranica?

Does anyone know if your echange rate goes down when you change currencies? Anyways, you could always use 2 currencies (it'd drag the economy down not to trade with nearest neighbors).

About the map, I HIGHLY recommend Cutting out your individual map and making it more detailed on another document (most people are microscopic)! Also, giant regions like haven have similar strategies, so we may make a city-less map and have all players have their own detailed maps.

Does anyone know if your echange rate goes down when you change currencies? Anyways, you could always use 2 currencies (it'd drag the economy down not to trade with nearest neighbors).

Currencies exchange rates (on the various calculators) are entirely independent from the name used, they are based solely on YOUR economy, just cause two people use the Credit doesn't mean they'll both have = exchange rates, it depends on their economic/political/civil rights ratings and taxes.

Also, I figured we could use this thread as an OOC thread for any RPs having to do with the various nations on the map, so, please link any threads that have to do with these nations, it'll be easier for everyone.
