[Pronunciation: Micheala (My-Kell-Uh) Not (Micheal-Uh)]



The Continent Of Micheala (http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u163/Jojothebobo/?action=view&current=Micheala.jpg)



A land of many beauties. A land of many nations. A land of many peoples.

Micheala is a continent in the middle of the Michealican ocean. It was formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity. Today, Micheala is a beautiful enchanted world. From the tropics of the north to the southern mountains, Micheala is considered by many heaven on earth.

[How this works:

THIS IS NOT A WORLD! It's an RP region for map claims, a future alliance, and optional independent RPs.

1) Right-Click the map and select "Save As..." and save image to desktop.

2) Paste or draw your nation/colony here. Keep size reasonable!

3) In order to avoid just islands, please OK it if others place a land border by you.

4) KEEP SIZES REASONABLE. There's no need to take up half the map.

5) Micheala is P/MT.

6) You don't HAVE to join the alliance when it's up.

7) Post updated map + preferences here.

8) Please move nation to "Micheala" region. Optional, though strongly requested!]

Happenings:

2/12/07: Progect Kicked off!

2/12/07: Region Now Up.

OOC:

This looks interesting. I will consider re-locating here.

Moved over to Gameplay, as this has to do with regional recruiting.

Even if it's an RP region?

Even if it's an RP region?
Yes

I'm interested in that southern island (Halrica), assuming:
1. I can change the geography to look like the one here (http://www.revterr.bravehost.com/geography.htm)
2. I can rename her Revterr, and I can make the island a little hotter then the temperate area, while still keeping her the southern place in Micheala
3. I won't have to stick inside my country to other's geographical reference. If in the Revterran geography books we call the area surrounding the island "The Revterran Sea", then I can call it like that in my own news bulletins (while not making a war over some other who call the same area The Southern Michealian Sea - it's an example, but I hope you get the point).
4. There are two close-to-future-stuff that I RPed on RevTerr and I want them there:
-the revterran security forces use a sort of jetpack for low distance drops, whether it is a fast response situation (a 911 call) or a military mission. I'm not planning on exaggerating with it, but I'm planning on make it part of the day-to-day revterran security..
-The TORC system, through which solar energy is beeing turned into microwaves on orbit and then it's being beamed down to Earth on a receiver placed on Ceahlau island (if anyone care at this point). It was part of a RP with a country now far away. It will never be used as a weapon, except self defense of the last resort (actually, I’m not planning to invade/attack anyone, ever, as I'm more of a political Rpist). TORC will allow me to sell energy, if you want to buy :)

As that (awful looking) site states, RevTerr is a country that rejected any outside contact for a loooong time, and now, as the times changed, the revterrans are curious about the world. Being away from the world for long, they become self sufficient, and they keep an impressionable defense force for their paranoia.
I can suggest that for the reference to other geographical RP's to find a place on Earth for this continent/ocean (and I suggest the Pacific (or, since Micheala is an ocean, the space between America and Indonesia), mainly because it's a big place.

I know that this post contains a lot of demanding, but I like to state stuff from the beginning. Great idea with the geographical RP, I played before (that Emerald Height reference is a thread that started like this one, with a map) and I liked it, even if we never got to actually RP a lot amid ourselves.
