Also, any chance I can get either A or B added to Arthalan, or some sort of connection added to make it so SoCRER and Arthalan have an actual land border?

As I plan to be moving back to that location, must you take a bunch of islands that will be literally all up on my coast? :/

Yes, I must, given I don't see how you need all the choice land in Scania anymore than I saw the need for Gedeland to do so. This provides me, and you, more neighbors without affecting your national concept. So if Engellex approves it I plan to do it.

It’s not really a question of national concept, it’s a question of historic sense. It’s really weird to have holdings right off somebody’s coast without extensive backstory. So it’s more like, oh ok, you’d like to force me to weave my inner history with you. I feel just by removing the one island nearest to what would be my mainland coast, would fix a great deal of that problem and give us both greater historic nation building freedom.

I don’t mind the concept of the nation based on the larger island and some of its surroundings. —Otherwise, we need to figure out that history and its relations.

Are you planning on having the peninsular area off the coast of grouw marken be your focus? Because if that was the case I could ses the issue, but otherwise I don't. And what is wrong with neighbors having to actually interweave their history?

Yeah that peninsular area is my population center, and will be Jyskerige. The area to the north, which I’m currently drawing on bootleg MSPaint on my iPad.... that area will be mountainous, and sparsely populated. That northerly region will be Østveg.

EDIT: Maybe I should post that first.

Yeah, lemme see what you want and I am 100% we can work it out.

So this was going to be my initial request. I understand Warre wants some of those small islands off the coast of Jyskerige proper. (This clearly will be discussed and we’ll figure it out )

Red dots are capitals of regions. Old Jydermark-Østveg would now be open. Finner og Isørerne would remain. A capital city has been added there. Two more cities have been added in Silkeborg and Roskilde.

 

[Warre]

Given the amount of land that you seem to want, I'm not sure what I should give up for Amberly. Not against it but which islands of my claims were the ones that destroyed your plausibility? I mean, while you aren't going so far as Gedeland, who took literally all of Scania, you are still taking a considerable amount both east an west, and if you look, your northern most part of Ostveg is about the same latitude as Gunnland, who has a verdant land generally, and me, who certainly does. I've been RPing Warre as having a climate similar to that of the Pacific North West, at least in my head and given that there are 2 imperial powers even further north than me, I'm incline to agree that yeah, I'm right, there's plenty of verdant land that could be a core of population more to the north.

Also, have to know, why is Ostveg not the more eastern of your two kingdoms? P.S. Please for the love of all that is holy take the land north of Montroulez if you are keeping your claim on the islands off it. There's very little chance even without you controlling those islands someone would plug-n-play a nation there, but even less chance with you controlling an avenue of its seas to the point it basically in only allowed to have the one major port in between Montroulez.

If Mondesir can expand a little south that would be awesome!

Well the general plot point is the Østveg is “the way east” and is covered in mountainous terrain that doesn’t provide a lot of arable land. This kept the population small and very disconnected aside from “the way east” or the Path of St. Olof, which connected many of the regions via a system of walking trails. It remains as a colony in many ways to Jyskerige which maintains the population base and the “History of Empire”

I’ve imagined the Gothic Sea as something similar to the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Meaning, summers can be quite warm, but the winters can be quite harsh depending on the year. I generally imagined the south Gothic Sea would very rarely have ice form on the water, but the Northern Gothic Sea would nearly always have ice form on the surface. Not enough to require icebreakers, but enough to see the routes of ships for example.

The thing with my map situation is I like the idea of having Østveg and Jyskerige separated by a narrow piece of water that could be traversed by men, horses, and cannon during a bad winter. I also wanted to maintain a certain Danish feel for the mainland where many islands could be the basis of my “Zealand” (Sjaelland of sorts.) So basically, this is all I’m looking for... I’m going to play with the map. See if I can’t keep myself more northerly, but I liked the idea of moving south because so often with this map arrangement I feel very disconnected all the way up there.

EDIT: Actually Warre, you can keep your claim exactly as is if...

...it is RP’d that the closest islands to me were all all taken in the 19th century during one of the last wars the Two Kingdom’s fought in which has subsequently begun the policy of neutrality that I’m currently having. As for the islands composition, make it however you’d like, just keep them rather depopulated, so no major cities or anything on them?

...and I can take all the land north of Montroulez if the community would prefer that.

Fine by me, I did already mention that in the Amberly islands Scanian (or whatever you call your language) is spoken, and it could easily have been a matter of long standing disagreement between you and the Amberly Islands/Principality of Amberlay that ended up resolved historically in the 19th century as you said, as by that point it would have been apart of Warre proper.

And I mean my vote is fornyou yo do so but I was thebone to suggest it anyways.

This is for an application to transfer Ivernish Himyari Commonwealth to the Engellexian Republic, or ETC to be exact.

You must be registered for see images

ENGELLEXIC THAUMANTIC COMPANY OTTALINA SOVEREIGNTY (ETCOS)

The Engellexic Thaumantic Company Ottalina Sovereignty (ETCOS) exists in Southern Echidna, bordering Loago to the north and east, and the Thaumantic Ocean in the west and south. The territory was established in 1958, and is in every respect sovereign to the ETC, even if the connections with the Engellexian Republic are, indirectly, obvious and insurmountable. It is ruled by the present Lord Guarantor of the ETC and Board of Guarantors through the First Secretary of Ottalina and the Ottalinan Department, the previous Lord Guarantor, Countess Ottaline Montmoren-Parmar, lent her name on its creation under her leadership. Once the Ivernish Himyari Commonwealth, the ETC positioned itself constitutionally to seize the colonial territory during the opportunity of the Ivernian High Kingdom being at war with Kadikistan in the 1950's. The reasons were commercial exploitation and First Republican sentiments within the ETC and the Lord Guarantor at the time. At the time of the territory's confiscation, the ETC was in a position of industrial difficulty owing to its lack of ownership of natural resources, with the Engell-Himyar Trading Company profiting on this situation at an exponential rate. After the Government of Ivernia having immediately refused to agree terms of sale to the ETC, the Lord Guarantor herself oversaw the formation of a naval task force from the Elephant Admiralty, including marine forces, to seize the capital settlement of the colony and issue a declaration of formal annexation.

For the first seven years following the annexation of the territory, ETCOS faced serious instability in the north and interior. The security deterioration was not a result of Ivernian interference, even indirectly through nationalist colonials in ETCOS, but from revolutionary groups present from the Iverno-Kadikistani war. The struggle held for a duration of seven months, in that time the Engellexian Republic directly intervened, utilising the full military capability of the republic against aggression toward a national interest. For some weeks the political existence of ETCOS held the possibility of disintegrating, but the ETC devised, perfected and executed a unique Company Industrial-Military Reinforcement Program that involved the fortification of the capital settlement, Damara, to a degree never before seen in Europe, and of which still continues to be upgraded and expanded; the fortification of Damara was soon followed by the creation and fortification of the Gethsemane Department surrounding it with the cooperation of the Government in Loago. The revolutionary assault was gradually pushed farther north, with medium, but rapid, fortifications of the cleared departments following the progression of Engell security and authority. Alike Damara, the fortifying of the departments of ETCOS continue to be a major public works project, with expansions and upgrading of existing infrastructure, and construction of long planned installations.

ETCOS in many ways resembles the SoCRER of the Engellexian Republic. The establishment of an aristocratic class was made quite early, on the success of stability and security in Damara. The governmental structure and administration are all almost identical, the only difference being the lack of checks-and-balances that many institutions and social groups exercise within SoCRER and NoCRER. Just as for the federal system in the republic, the First Secretary holds a similar position to the Southern and Northern Presidents, with Department Secretaries of the departments of ETCOS maintaining a position and role quite alike the Lord Governors and Lord Lieutenants of the Constituent Republics; the Lord Guarantor could be seen to hold a status similar to the Lord Protector, but owing to the unique existence of the ETC within the republic's constitution, the Lord Protector continues to rank above that of the Lord Guarantor. The importance of atheism and the Human Commodity System has been carried forward in ETCOS. In fact, the tolerance to labour without financial compensation has been escalated to a point less restricted, compared to the HCS. The ETC practices what could be described as traditional human trading, and, though still lawfully requiring a Capital Duty sentence, it is well-reported that the ETC has sufficiently relaxed oversight of regulations to the point of them being unenforceable across much of ETCOS, permitting humans to enter the trading system without a criminal history, or sentence; not thoroughly investigated by authorities or journalists, but locally rumoured, a number of facilities exist in ETCOS to breed and train candidates for the HCS. With the encouraged intolerance to religious people, baiting of fictional worshipers has become an unofficial sport of ETCOS, with widespread illegal broadcast throughout SoCRER and even NoCRER.

There are ten departments in ETCOS :- Gethsemane; Euphemia; Primpernelle; Cygnus; Alphard; Cuthbert; Druella; Honoria; Libatius; Zygmunt. They are named after captains from the taskforce of the Elephant Admiralty that successfully seized the colonial territory. Alongside Damara, there is only one other major metropolis in ETCOS, Jacturus, and with the capital city of Damara, was named after two admirals - Admiral Damara Burke, Countess of Deme, and Admiral Jacturus Carpe, Viscount Carpe - of the Elephant Admiralty.

The population is estimated at 8,512,390.​

Could the land north of NC be labeled as 'The Badlands' in an arch from southwest to northeast? Just to give some context to what I will be referring to often in news posts and my thread.

Also, could we get a rough idea on when the next update will be? Not trying to rush, just wondering.

Please move Warre to the position shown here. Want to make sure Echnida/Himyar doesn't lose activity and the world doesn't lose Andals/Iberians as an ethnic group so wanna move to the now open spot shown. Updated history and main fact book will follow. I won't have to much changes of history, really, so much as changing the place that the Warreic land and of course giving them a crusader streak at some point. I want Warre where it currently is removed from the map, and the same to be said of Amberly, and instead I will have an 'Amberly'/Amberlay coast region on my west coast, kind of a Britanny to Engellex's 'Britain', though it's only England. Not super stuck on the Gilbatar thing, but would greatly like it as it gives me a direct border with whoever takes over Gallega and lets me carry over the trans-Long Sea tunnel project Andaluz and Gallega had. Also, colored in the island above the Varden Straits but don't thin you can see it from this picture.
