(OOC: Looking for Neighbours)

Well being as both the nations which used to border me have now essentially gone offline forever I'm in need of some new friends and enemies, I have a few stipulations which i'll get onto later, but for now...

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/2582/toopoxiabb6.png

The map of my general area, includes Toopoxia (South) and Smorrg (North) who'd I'd rather keep unmolested as I need them for an upcoming RP, as mentioned, I have stipulations, I'm really looking for Slavic nations to populate the North and Arabic nations to populate the South, that said I won't be against other sorts of nations (my own Toopoxia being a predominantly white ethocentric culture) also I'm allowing Colonies but please keep them to the South.

Well other than that have fun I guess.

The Grand Duchy of Aunesia would be interested in establishing a colony to the south of your nation, below the city of Amnan, between the river and the sea. We would name this colony New Strando.

Dude, it's an OOC thread, ye don't need to stake a claim ICly, although I don't mind your having done so.

Both added, i'll post an updated map when more people join.

EDIT: Hope you don't mind a little artistic license, I couldn't have the border match the river otherwise the River would dissapear.

Could you possibly expand the southern section of the map? Is that a penninsula, or does it come around, making the other part and inland sea?

I can draw it later if it is confirmed.

Confirmed, I drew in a sketch of your border just to let me remember you're there, if ye wanna draw you're own border i'm more than happy to accomodate.

Corbournne, got you in South West, just need a Colony name.

Errik, give me what you want and i'll see if I can fit you in.

I've added my nation to the east of Amazonian Beast (I expanded the map to the east and to the north).

Updated map here! (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m98/kopparbergs/toopoxia-region-map.gif)

Is this OK? Also, the added islands outside my nation belongs to me.

It's a rather large bit of the map, but this is not a colony, it's my mainland.

Not a colony, a small nation about the size of Germany and Austria combined. Not too large, but not too small. Do I need to provide other city names?
Honako
14-03-2007, 17:44
Actaully, change of plan. I'd like locate my nation in your lands. I'd like Honako to be located between New Courbonne and the one beginning with X (I can't be bothered to write the name) underneath the large lake. We are not a big country, as you can see by our pop size, but I'd prefer to be larger than the colonies.

I'll provide city names and geographical info if accepted. I'd also like to have my small colony 'The Borderlands...' next to me, to the eastern side.

I assure you, you've all been added, but it's now become impossible to upload the map (due to its size) so I'm afraid you'll have to use your imagination.

Any chance of getting it via other means? I'd like to do a little city planning for it.

I don't suppose there's a way for me to procure the map? 'Cause I could upload it.

Shit it.

Uploading piece by piece didn't work, ummm, I'll try saving as a JPEG next.

Try JPEF, GIF, PNG, or bitmap. Try those.

Compressing it into a zip file might work, too.

Is it possible to expand our borders after we stake our claim?

Huzzah, after much waiting I finally managed to upload the map as a PNG!!! :D

@NR, you can edit your borders but I'd rather you didn't go excessive.

You can go ahead and take New Babylonia off the map.
