I just checked the 12 August version of the map, and saw no O32 there. However, I saw two O23s: One island west of the Peninsule Vert (west side of the map), and one south of Matara/west of the Jade Sea (east side of the map) :think:

And now that I check the map, we have two Snieg Oceans: One high north and one deep south :think: Maybe good to call one "Northern Snieg Ocean" and the other one "Southern Snieg Ocean"? ;)

I'm not entirely familiar with the process here... sorry about that. But as an island nation, could I claim O36 as my home chain and O28 as the colony of Cambigta? The capital of Londinium would be on the most southern part of the northeastern bay.

Like this?

The rules (page 1) for colonies state:
All applications to expand one’s map spot, either territorial annexation or colonial establishments, need to support them through this application process. For colonial applications a link to the thread/s that establish the background and general out-of-character effort of the colony also need to be submitted. If the alteration affects other nations/players, for example shared borders or abrupt proximity, then you must open a discussion or somehow get expressed approval for the map alteration from the affected player(s).

===================

So you will have to meet all requirements before a colony is granted I believe. Even then it is not always granted.

This sounds like you want to RP a country on the southern hemisphere. But you're also relatively close to the equator.
That's because there isn't much land in the Southern Hemisphere. How about all the islands in the middle of nowhere on the bottom right of the map as my domain?

I suggest something like 008 or 031. You'll want neighbors if you're going to RP here. Think about how you plan to RP and the character of your nation.

And if you're living on the northern hemisphere of the earth in real life, also think about having to RP Summer while you are in real life suffering from Winter ;) RPing a Christmas barbie while in real life your fingers are freezing off ;)

So here is my map update I think I promised in the summer.

Red dot is the capital: Kristiania

Light green is areas I'd like to expand. I've expressed that I wanted to do that in order to remove non-continuous areas in order to remove RP planning and impeding on my future neighbors' RP ideas by forcing a conflict on them. Additionally, the area to the north I thought just made it look better. I'd like borders immensely similar to what is drawn.

The light purple is a potential area I'd like to have on the mainland. I wanted a mainland holding to have a bigger role on continental politics. I don't want both. I'd like one or the other. The exact borders here are fuzzy and you can take some liberty as an artist. This topic I'd also like the input of other players, so I'm open to discussion too if a concern, or particular opinion might be important to another player.

There is one thing I want to note about the fuchsia-coloured pieces of land on Mainland Eurodisney. One of those pieces of land will deprive area 006 from sea access. Do we consider that a problem?

I think gobbling up part of 006 is a mistake and that is an awfully big chunk of land from a country potential . I think we should also consider the precedent being set. I suppose I could look the other way if 006 was ceded to me :think: That would at least make the continent more contiguous.

All valid points. I'm just looking for avenues for mainland continental RP. So I'm quite happy to look towards the best possible solution, and perhaps there is no solution. I'm just looking to find a way better interact with the continent is all, and so if anyone has perhaps another good idea, I'm quite open to it.

Eh, Britfags don't have them continental holdings anymore, except for some silly itsy bitsy islands that speak Medieval French. They still meddle in continental politics, even if now they kinda want out of the continent for some reason.

But to be honest, if 006 is split and half is given to Coroland, then the rest should definetely just be shoved into nearby countries in whatever proportions. Like Boredomgogne and Fat Lausia and Dwendeland and whatever. Is Jose is still around, by the way? :think:

It just makes no sense what so ever to have continental holdings next to Terra Incognita AKA Fairydragonland.
