Claiming Your Spot on the Map

[Achkaerin]

Join Our Roleplay, Claim Your Spot On The Map

Before submitting your claim, please read the Roleplay Rules And check the Up to Date Map

Map plots

• Map updates usually occur fortnightly, so please do not repeatedly ask our cartographer when he next plans to update it.
• We require you to make at least six roleplay posts before we process your application for a map plot. This is to avoid people taking up a map plot one day, then going inactive the next.
  We ask, however, that you apply for a plot as soon as possible, even if you haven’t yet reached six roleplay posts;
• Please do not roleplay unclaimed territories on their behalf. You may, if required, use unclaimed territories as a way of ‘passing through’ to another country, but otherwise they should be left alone;
• Plots on the map are of varying sizes and shapes. Despite this, they are all of equal economic value, so you may roleplay how each territory is of economic worth at your own leisure;
• The Cartographer (and Roleplay Magistrate) reserves the right to refuse a claim on the map if you double park your map space (e.g. there's 12 plots in a small section and you claim the 6 in the middle, cutting the remaining 6 in half on either side of your country);
• The Cartographer (and Roleplay Magistrate) reserve the right to refuse a map claim that they deem to be unfair or unrealistic.
• The Cartographer also reserves the right to remove you from the map if you go inactive without a Leave of Absence for a period of more than 14 days

In addition to the above rules (and those in the main topic), please note:

• Nations must use the exact form, fill it out correctly, and then post it in this topic to have their claim processed;
• This is not a map of the whole world, but of currently-playable territories; and
• Claims will be processed in the order they are received. Therefore if two players claim the same plot and both have the required six posts it will be awarded to the player who claimed it first, otherwise it will be awarded to the player whose claim became valid first i.e. who reached six posts first. This is to avoid a lot of pending claims on unclaimed territory that would cause problems for newer players.

Given these are rather small provinces and the remaining province would be landlocked on all sides and thus not the most appetizing to claim, i'd also like to ninja W61 if at all possible.

Removals

The following Nations have been removed:

• Heyra
• Ametisinia

Pending Removals

The following nations are at risk of removal:

• Alexandus Prime
• Tir Godion
• Asteria

Additions

The following nations have been added:

• Nemeria
• Nexon
• Solonya
• Al Thalra
• Tropico
• Yaroslav

The Following Historical Nations have been added:

• Rodina (this should be assumed to be the USR see below for explanatory note)
• Safraen
• Abydos
• Vanora
• Marseilles (and by association Aquitaine)

A Historical Nation is a classification given to nations that are generally speaking of significant importance that they cannot for varying reasons be retconned out of existence as per what usually happens with removal from the map - though some of us do maintain a vagueness when referring to them, this are nations labelled with gold writing on the map. Nueva Ardia and Toshikawa already fell into this category and I keep Zimalia in it for the sake of ease. With this update I'm adding four nations to that list - Safraen is known to some of us, nation that fell apart due to a virus, was divided between two sides and was then reunited following a conflict. Marseilles (bringing with it Aquitaine) is essentially important in terms of CTO history.

Rodina is essentially the USR, the USR being the historical significance but added under a different name because if USR turned up tomorrow and wanted to bring the original antagonist back then it's only fair to allow that - generally speaking for our purposes this should be assumed to be the USR in resurgence and if Dave agrees the historical RNS status granted to USR can be transferred to Rodina.

Now Abydos and Vanora are essentially the Holy Land question resolved (I hope), anyone who's been on Discord last few days knows I've mentioned 'Project Holy Land' well this is it. Essentially as the name suggests Abydos will be an Egypt based nation while Vanora is intended to be Mundus's Israel. Additionally Abydos is added for a second reason to do with the 20th century discussion that Gad raised this is also why where the others have three territories Abydos has six.

My intention is to have each nation with a basic factbook - well the ones that don't have them - I believe old forum ones exist for Nueva Ardia, Toshikawa, Zimalia and Safraen.
