Anyone know where I can find some 'quantversal' or viewpoint maps of nationstates?

I'm just wondeirng how it all fits together.

Which regions are 'on the same planet'

what is the most advanced planet.. the least advanced...

what isn't allowed etc.. etc.. I'm geussing it is somewhat of a 'political' reality that is people only beleive or play along with what they beleive.

I'm interested in maps.. is there a 'main' planet for nation states like the original earth etc.

just wondering

Sorry, there's no way to even map a fraction of nationstates, it's too huge.

Agreed, there is just NO way someone could map NS, besides there are so many conflicting ideas on how each nationstate exists. A post modern industrial state, a pre-historic tribal government, a space age or futuristc population. It owuld be hard to cram everyones uniqe ideas into one form. Besides, there are two transdimentional states existing in my region of Moperville. How would you map those? you couldn't.

The closest thing you'll get is regional maps and national maps.

There are a few 'earths' that have been mapped. There are several galaxies in the FT side of things.

Other than that, nothing.

Would an extensive description do, or do we need to provide an actual graphic map?

NationStates is an area where you may create any nation you wish based on whatever you want, be it sci-fi, historical, modern, etc. You may even change yout nation's entire nature in order to fit in with a particular RP session.
In this respect, it is possible to think of NS as an interdimensional melange which is constantly changing, with no limits or restrictions. The only chartable maps form when a group of like minded nations coalesce to form a "world". The borders of these "worlds" are impenetrable, ensuring that Samurai Warriors of the Sengoku Jidai, do not clash with the corporate armies of a dystopian future.
Only a no holds barred free for all session would be able to bring these worlds togeter, but such a thing does not bear thinking about.
Worry not about unified map for NationStates as it would drive you insane.

But wouldn't it be a good idea to put up a sticky where people can post cartographical maps of their nation/region? Not as an atlas-like compendium, but more like a reference thread? Would also benefit warfare, knowing the terrain of your enemy..... and of course RPing would benefit too, without a doubt.
