East Ying Department of Colonization
Official Statement:
To: All whom it may concern
Dear fellow nation-states. The vast region of the Mirror Lakes has recently seen a large decrease in member nation-states. Some have already said the golden age of the region has passed, and that all it's nation-states have fallen into a deep shadow, not worthy of Regional status. As regional moderator, East Ying has taken the liberty to expand the southern and northern reaches of the land to active nations. We are opening the region to active nations, puppets, colonies, and "Embassy Nations" A classification of nations where the land is strictly given to embassies. We hope that people will treasure this opritunnity. We also hope this will be the beginning of new trade agreements, and closer international relations.
Sincerely,
Linyo Ying
1st President of East Ying

There are 20 available spots. Plots 1-20. For an accurate description of each plot, ask on this thread. Thankyou Very Much, again.
East Ying

(Feel free to bump and OOC here)

I'll take whatever Plot has the most amount of precious metals and other valuable minerals.

1- All colonies and puppets must be active at least 3 times a week.
2- The colony must be governed directly by the colonizer. It cannot be a self-governing nation. Although exceptions can be made.
3- Here is the colony form

# of Colonists being sent
# of armed forces being sent (1,000 MAX)
Special Jobs: (e.g. Craftsman)
Name of Colonizing Empire: (e.g. The Colonizing Empire of Colonies United)
Name of Colony: (e.g. The Colony of Colons)
Name of Governing Deputy: (e.g. Mr. Joe Colony)

4- Other Info

'll take whatever Plot has the most amount of precious metals and other valuable minerals.
That will be taken care of after you put your info from the form. Otherwise, that is plot number 17. It is yours. Please move your colony into the region by tommorow. Otherwise, we will not be able to help you. Thankyou for your patience.

Situated North of the wide and long Hendin mountain range, near the source of the great Jont river. Although near the shore, the moderate climate of this large plot provides excellent trading, save the Hendin Mountain range. Rich in natural resources and minerals in the tall cliffs, this area is great for all those who love to mine and trade. In the many caves jutting into the cliffs, bears are to be found. Left pristine in the wild until today, it is a place for new beginnings.

Do you have a cartographic view of the available land plots? (a map)?

We might send a colony over, please see our thread "Religion of ShogunKhan, The spread of Wonderful War" in the NationStates forum to see if you would accept such a culture within your sphere of influence. As you will see, our military is our citizenry, we have no separation of civilian and military, just as we have no separation of living and decisions about life (church and state). If this is satisfactory, then we will prepare colonists for the new life.

Dear ShogunKahn, and whomever it may concern.
At the moment, we do not have a map. We are working with East Ying cartographers to make one. You can ask for summarized descriptions, or full descriptions of the plot(s). Tell all your friends!!!

Regional President

Ah, so you too are looking for a rich deposited land? Well then, look no further! Plot 9 is the one for you. Description will be up shortly. We hope we can stress trade agreements, and closer peaceful relations. Please move your colony in by tomorrow, or we will not be able to help you.

Linyo Ying- 1st President, East Ying

We will begin to move our people in when we get a good description of the land.

A vast plot rich with wildlife and huge underground oil deposits, this plot is second to plot 17. At the foot of the Great Hendin Mountain Range, it has many lush evergreen forests, great at christmas times. With a road and train tunnel already installed going to the other side of the mountains, (which are filled with great mining spots) it is great for trading. Although 25 % of the land is mountains, the rest is low hills and forests. Many streams and creeks run through it's western side, creating its borders. Truly fit for a king.

We will be glad to supply you Plot 20. Since you don't seem to have any specific needs, I won't give the summary. Please move your colony in by tomorrow. Thanks
Eugene Demvar- Regional President
Linyo Ying- 1st President, East Ying

Thank you, we look forward to seeing our colony prosper. We will move our colonists ASAP.

The ASRC would like to request entry into this territory. Since there is no provided map *cough cough*, we will take anything available, respectively.

-Royal Command Staff

Although it is #1 on the list, it is also number one on scenery. Situated on the vast fresh water sea of Jont, the source of the Jont River, It is good for pleasure boats, and lake trips. Small fresh water creeks zip this way and that, and the lush forests under the shadow of the Hendin Mountain range truly impress tourists. It's northern border borders Plot 20, an active colony, or soon to be. Roads will be easy to build because of the lowlands, but you will have to cut down many a tree to do so. We hope you like!

Royalty, a rare sight in the Mirror Lakes!!! Since you are *cough, cough* Royalty, we will be pleased to give you the finest plot that hasen't already been taken!! This plot, being, Plot 7!!!!!!!!!!!! Please move you colony in by tomorrow. (Summary on The way, but I'm tired, so it might not be good!)

To: The Virginia Company

We thank you for the summary of the land. We have made pamphlets and given them to the families that will be colonizing the land. They eagerly await arrival, and see this as a way at a new, better life.

OOC: What plot am i getting, on the top of the summary it says 13, but in the paragraph and on a previous post it says 1

Plot 7 is one of the biggest... Best Plot Ever!!! (that isn't already taken :p).
It is at the northern tip of the region, and actually is the biggest plot. With water transportation an option to the south, east, west, and north, it is great for trading. It's lowlands and hills in the south are great for farming usage. But its large river joinings in the west prove to be a good foundation for trading capitals. To the Mountains in the north, there is humongous lush evergreen forests, that rumor has it, is filled with magical beings. Truly Royalty

A gift from the Royal Navy Sealift Command, over 200 long-range helicopters were set aside to ferry the 1,500 men and women across the sea, to the Mirror Lakes region, then to be handed over to East Ying to show good will.

After a brief scramble and brief, the choppers were in the air, inbound, with 1 fuel refill scheduled mid-flight.

Marking the ASRC's 3rd external land possession, talks came up amongst the voting populous about changing their title from 'The Allied States' to 'The Colonial Empire'. A movement in Parliament would decide this on a future date.

____________________________________

Coming in from the southwest, the fleet of choppers set down relatively close to each other, allowing the colonists to unload and regroup. Immediately, the land surveyors took to the forests with GPS equipment to mark their country's claims.

In the center of the action, it is great for trading, as most plots are. It has the Jont River coming in from the North, and Lake Tronitran in the west. It is covered mostly by lowland hills and fields. Small streams cut through the grass here and there, some even turn into great rivers, such as the Goldy creek, turns into the Goldy River, and goes south into East Ying. Small roads have already been installed courtesy of East Ying (your welcome.). We hope you enjoy, remember, you have Plot 5.

Wow, some hell of a post. Thank you for your support to the region, we would gladly accept your gifts, for we are honored to have you here.
Thank you,
Eugene Demvar- Regional President

To East Ying,

I wish to inqiure about plot 20.

OOC: It would be my honor. It will be out in a few minutes.
Sorry i didn't give you one earlier.....

In the newly explored far west, farther than Kirav's colony, there is a great mass of land, completely untouched. This, is plot 20. With the amazing Roaring Falls, and many small rivers cutting through the wild-lands, it is great for "animal" tourists. On the coast of the newly discovered Greston Sea, named after it's main colonizer, Greston. With a small mountain range separating the forest from barren desert lands. I hope you like it Greston.

Very well then. See you later, Ying.

Mirror Lakes Colonization Resume

Welcome back, I'm here. You can start all your dilly-daly claiming again. Hope to fill up those spots!

OOC: I know alot of you eager people out there simply don't read anything and skip to the last page. Please don't skip. The first 5 posts are kinda important, so read them.

Is this a claim-only thread? Will an actual RP thread be started? Or shall we use this one?

OOC: This is not an RP thread at all. Well kind of. The colonies you make are really supposed to be there in the region.

Colonization Resume
I'll be here for an hour or some odd.

Welcome to the Royal Land of The Mirror Lakes. Here, we are now opening a recently desicovered areas, with 34 Plots available. We are regretting this though. Although it will bring international prosperity, we fear it will bring war. But it is all for the best... We hope.

[OoC: So is this land claim only for our corporeal nations?]

You can send a colony or puppet. Your homeland needn't movbe.

OOC: Well, there will be an RP thread eventually, when I get all the plots out of my way.

Official statement
::Telegram Wired 7:00 PM, December 3, 002 I.Y::
They have 3 new colonies Mr Kmoon STOP Should We Commence Attack On Them STOP

::REPLY::
No STOP Let Them Relax, we attack in silence STOP

OOC: This is for my Civil War, The Southern Revolt, hope to have a thread out soon. Need to make up the plot.

I don't know what you mean by coporeal. But if you mean your nations have to be real on the site, yes they do. Then you make a new country, classify it as a colony, then send it to my region.... :D

Official Statement
It has come to our attention that, being the situation with the foreign policy of The Mirror Lakes, the situation being we have no relations, we would like to open up more prestigious plots. Plots will come now with workers, ambassadors, armed forces, armies, air forces, anything need to suit your new colony. In addition to that, we also will lay out plans for a city, weather it be big or large. The workers and all their children will be loyal workers until you give them away. For their first 3 months, they go unpaid, but then you can still employ them while paying wage, or fire them. We hope this will add new incentive to you opening your colony in this wonderful realm

East Ying:

OOC: Im not trying to ruin your plans or anything, and im pretty sure everybody esle would agree, you should start the RP thread now. That way the people who have already planned plots can start Rping. It senseless for everybody else to wait. Also, it may spark interest. If pople see us posting in the Rp thread, they may want to join. It will boost activity, and let us start playing. Also, are theere any natives on in Mirror Lakes?
