...if Amberlay is to be “greened” so to speak (perhaps “beiged” as the lingo perhaps should move with the times), then I’d like for that to be re-incorporated to my nation as I originally wanted prior to Warr beating me to it. To which I must add is quite a new cool project when I think back to Celtic tribes during the Roman Empire and think about what if they’d been more successful in their spread across the world.

In this case, the largest island, closest to Geotri should have Gøternhavn moved to it. Additionally, changing the old capital location to the name Helsingholm as a population about 2 500 000. Then please add Christiania, which is to be a population below 2 500 000. Lastly please make Silkeborg as population of below 2 500 000 as well. Thanks so much for your work!

Elben · Aug 7, 2018

Location: 10 degrees N to 10 degrees S, 140 degrees E eastward up to Reikoku
Name of Colony: Augustine Islands
Name of Colonial Capital: Karlshaven, located at the head of the bay of the C-shaped island
Name of Primary Country: Elben
Established History: A station was first established at Karlshaven by whalers who had crossed the Thaumatic in search of their quarry. The surrounding islands up were eventually claimed as more settlers arrived and the surviving natives were converted to Christianity. Now a crown colony ruled by a royally appointed governor and a local council of VIPs.

OOC: It would probably be a Falklands esque relationship ICly. A station for whalers that grew over time as traders came to see if they could do business with Touyou folks. All that has changed now in a world of instant communication and trade, but the settlers hang on to their ties to the home country and Elben is willing to keep them in the fold as it is their wish.

@Warre, what do I need to do to ICly become friends with you so that you won't suddenly close the Long Sea?

Rheinbund · Aug 7, 2018

And of course, @Engellex, thank you for your work

Gunnland · Aug 8, 2018

Location: Anywhere in western Himyar, encompassing a river that extends inland (to one of the lakes?) from a coastal delta. Bordering Loago would be ideal but is not necessary.
Name of Colony: Port Stanley
Name of Colonial Capital: Chinde, located on the middle of the coast.
Name of Primary Country: Gunnland
Established History: A minor prestige/trading colony of the Duchy of Lower Marpesia, which became part of Gunnland when the latter country was formally annexed last year.

OOC: I have been working out an internal RP concept which is going to take some of my ousted political figures and send them into exile in a multiracial, (post-)colonial place. I may then get involved in some of the Himyar RP from there.

Regarding the longitude and latitude distances I mentioned in

, I made an excel sheet calculating the distances between the longitudes at each latitude. Is it an idea to put that excel sheet on the website? If yes, how are we going to do that?

EDIT: Wait. It uses formulas. I used the English Excel for this, but the sheet will crash in the German or French Excel, because those versions of Excel use different function indications than the English Excel.

Dai Minh · Aug 8, 2018

Is it factoring in the projection? The map is currently using Mercator. I have it roughly projected in GIS as a geotiff, so I can measure any distance or the area of a country, but I would argue that RP be a little more freeform. Still, I think you got it right assuming that you'll need to refuel to conduct your operations.

Any reason there are now 2 new European colonies?

I think I would prefer around 35% of the top / east of the square to be Mountainous regions since the country is surrounded by inhabitable mountains (which prevents invaders) and is like a natural half-circle protecting the country. They also have a small harbor by the ocean. Hopefully that helps

Thanks! It is based loosely off of Tibet. It has 2-3mil people.

I did not pay attention to the projection, because that is not needed. I just presumed that the 0th latitude on our map is the equator.

When our earth has a circumference of 40,000 km, it is 10,000 km from the equator to one of the poles. When the equator is the 0th latitude and the pole is the 90th latitude, the distance between the equator and the 1st latitude is 10,000/90=111.111111111111etc. km. That distance is always the same from latitude to latitude.

It becomes more complex for the distance between the longitudes. At the equator, the distance between the 0-meridian and the 1st longitude is 111.111111111111etc. km at the equator, but 0 km at the poles. This means that the distance between the meridians depends on the latitude. I used the following formula:

(20,000 * cos(latitude)) / (180/longitude)

I've always been confused about Himyar, it's the land mass from Tephanon to the Peninsula Republic right?

As I think of it, I would like to take the spot between SOCRER and Loago.

Technically Port Stanley is an independent sovereign state in personal union with Gunnland via their shared monarch, Julian. Port Stanley was never a colony of Gunnland, but rather a colony of the Gunnish-dominated Duchy of Lower Marpesia, which was only formally annexed by Gunnland in 2017 after Port Stanley won its independence.

The governance and story will be developed in the "In Farthest Himyar" thread.

Three cities along a river running south into the West Clarencian would be the capital, Chinde (mid-coast), the large city of Oriel (southern coast of the large lake), and the small city of Fort Smith (northern coast of the large lake).

Azraq · Aug 25, 2018

Hello

Norse here with his back up nation.

I'd like to claim the space between the Free State and the northeast tip of Himyar (I trust Engellex to draw a decent plot) as well of the smaller islands of Toyou-Implaria.

With Pelasgia's blessing I'd like to relegate Tephanon to the island just north of my coastline.

Capital is called Jugol and should be somewhere along the coast, ideally closer to Toyou.

You can read more on the wiki entry Azraq.

Thanks!

Just clarifying that I approved this in the Discord Chat, for future reference. If I could also get the smaller island north of that for Tephanon, that'd be great, but no push, I can limit my colony to the island Azraq mentioned.

Azraq · Aug 27, 2018

Im happy for him to have the smaller island if that is of any bearing...

Two things:

1) If the capital could be listed as “Gøthehavn” as I’m settling on this spelling after several different spellings.
2) If the water way between leading out of the Gothic Sea southward between my islands could be named, that would be cool! I’m going to be referring to it as “Skånesund”, but if you want to keep the map “Anglo” friendly, I suppose “the Sound” might work too.

Sorry for the added work, but I think more detail always makes for a cooler map!

Thanks for your hard work on it as well!
