A couple of requests:

1. Please rename the "Pelasgian Empire" to "Federative Republic of Pelasgia" on the map. No other changes to the map of Pelasgia are needed.

2. I've RPed the PSHC long enough as a concept that I feel it deserves its space on the map (in an otherwise empty and inactive corner of Himyar). This little project is genuinely of my favourite RPs so far, primarily because of the creative freedom creating a colony from scratch gives me, and it has acted as an antidote to changeritis. Here's what I've come up with so far, based on my RP:

You must be registered for see images

Location : (see map)
Name of Colony : Pelasgian Southern Himyari Company
Name of Colonial Capital : Fort Antipas (all settlements, including the capital, are well below 2.5 M inhabitants)
Name of Primary Country : Federative Republic of Pelasgia (formerly Pelasgian Empire)
Established History : Pelasgian whalers, sailors and explorers having been making their way to the southern tips of the sea of Buto for millennia. However, the lucrative whaling business, combined with increased trade with Natalia and the realtive safety of the Sea of Buto to the Long Sea-Hamar Sea corridor in recent centuries have made the region a prime target for Pelasgian investment and mercantile interest. The discovery of fossil fuel reserves and unique species of marine life has only boosted interest in the region in recent years, with many companies such the Imperial Himyari Trade Company (Southern), Thaumatic Whaling A.E., Pelasgian Institute for Oceanic Life Research, Outopolis Trade Company and the Imperial Himyari Bank of Commerce actively operating in the area. In 2019, the Pelasgian Southern Himyari Company was chartered as an Imperial (later Federal) Pelasgian company, to unify Pelasgian trade, whaling, resource extraction, research and settlement efforts in the area. Beginning with a few outposts to facilitate the whale trade and the processing of whaling products, the PSHC has gradually grown its settlement efforts, responding to wide appeal by the Pelasgian public. Many Pelasgians desire a new future there, finding few chances in the increasingly overcrowded homeland, and have decided to risk everything and start life anew in the largely lawless Far South. The PSHC, governed by powerful Pelasgian nobles, shipping magnates and businessmen in Propontis, has established a quasi-state in the area, though truth be told, its actual control is limited to major shipping lanes and small settlements of its own making. Everywhere else, lawlessness reigns, outside of the customary law of local settler communities and various indegenous peoples that the Company has sought to court with promises of modern technology (both to heal and intoxicate, as well as arm them against one another). The Far South is a brand new frontier of settlement, unlike the centuries-old colonies of the Engells or Pelasgia's own former Tephanon colony; whether the Far South will become a frontier of freedom for Pelasgia's independent-minded pioneers or just another territory of Pelasgian governmental overreach remains to be seen.

I have further posts fleshing out the colony, relations with natives and dynamics with the mainland (as well as between the PSHC and colonists) planned for the future, provided I can get this off the ground.

Feel free to limit the pixels I have, I just want something on the map in that general area so I don't feel like I'm RPing in thin air and that all my efforts will be in vain if someone claims that general area. Also, those areas are by no means actually controlld by the PSHC de facto. PSHC control is limited to the major sea lanes and settlements on the isles; the rest is de jure claimed land, which is largely lawless outside of indigenous control and control by farmers and individual settlers. RPing how the PSHC will attempt to get actual control over this territory and how it currently operates as a "wild west" is also among my plans for this project (get ready for Corp PMCs vs farmers vs natives vs Pelasgian fed agents wars).

All feedback is welcome.

I haven't seen Nzadiland before. Are you claiming it or did I miss it somewhere?
If so, it conflicts with my claim which we'll have to resolve.

Petites-Pays said:

Yeah, it’s a claim. I didn’t recall the mainland part of your application, I only remembered the islands. It isn’t so important to me, so you can keep it. The claim I need just needs some size to it to reflect distances of travel and diversity of peoples.

I have tried to do a map update myself. I think it ended up looking decent. I haven't added any capitals or cities yet to the new countries:

Pelasgia said:

Me and @Beautancus were planning an RP there, but we can move it elsewhere if you want to go there (instead of just having another NPC). Of course, that's provided there would be enough activity to justify so many landmasses in addition to your current owning half of Toyou (figuratively speaking), in each of the newly claimed areas. If the activity is there, I'd love it for there to be more active players in Himyar and for Pelasgia to get a real neighbour (as opposed to just another colony someone put on the map and then never touched again for pixel ego).

If you have since had a new plan with Beau there, I’m not pursuing it.

Pelasgia said:

The RP has been put on hold indefinitely because Beaut is occupied with the Burgundian War, and I have rebooted my nation. In fact, I'm not sure my new nation would even be compatible with what we had in mind, so if the RP is to ever be brought out of cryosleep, it'd have to be radically altered.

In short, it's safe to say you're free to claim that spot again. Sorry for the (now needless) delay and hinderance. Hopefully you still want to pursue this idea.

Kir Chares said:

Assuming it's not claimed by Pelasgia/Anti-State, I would like to claim the following; forgive me for my crude map I only have Paint right now.

You must be registered for see links

The nation can either be "Kir Chares" or "Charic Republic" your choice.

The cities are:
Kir Chares (capital)
Mogador
Lixos
Har Anbin
Moqm Shemesh
Hakrah
Geth

If it is claimed by either, then I would like to make a backup claim to the area between Elamra and Pelasgia.

Consider this a declaration of interest.

I am aware this overlaps Johnston Islands but that is because I don't draw good, not because I am interested in his pixels or in contesting his expansion.
