Location of Capital :- On the coast of the Lake south of where 'Sheridan' is currently written, south of the "n" in Sheridan specifically.
Pertinent Threads/Wiki :-

Basically I want to replace Sheridan and also grab a bit more territory.

The Greyed in 'Sheridan' colored areas are the territories I feel that I definitely -need- to have to make this map spot work the way I want it to and to allow myself 'room' to RP the various states within the national area I want to. The Light Orange area pictured is mostly there because I want to have an inland 'great plains' type region, and I feel that would be a great place for it as well as multiply any possible neighbors I might have to the north.

The Red and Dark Orange areas are areas I don't really feel a need for, but areas which I would none the less like if I can swing them, because I have ideas for the area and because it gives me a more solid border with Arcadia. But if the dark orange/red areas can't or won't work that's fine, I understand reasons why it wouldn't be given to me, such as allowing more land borders for Arcadia to exist. And while I understand this might seem kind of 'big' I guess, compared to my neighbors, the majority of them are colonies and I also happen to want to be that size in part because it greatly increases the number of neighbors (And thus RP oppourtunities) I have, even if the majority are colonies/NPCs.

I'd probably not have posted this just yet, but Xinhai/Yujin/Xyrael suggested I do so 'soon' lest wait for weeks before being added.

To be fair you'd probably burn yourself out thinking about the idea before ever posting a claim. Follow Michael Bayism and just get started!

I think that spot has been claimed by crotobaltislavonia but I believe Srbja hadn't been active for a while so you can maybe take his place

If it would be a better fit for Berg, I'm willing to take Srbja. If there are no Italians that far north, I could easily adjust to German or whatever would be appropriate for my western ethnic group. And I would still share a border with Trivodnia. ;)

Whatever Engellex thinks is best.

Well he doesn't even want the ehole spot so he could go to srbja or heck you two could share the spot. Though him going to srbja spot would probably work best.

Or you could just split the spot anyway and we'd have two active people in a spot instead of one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well you could if they both were playing a concept that fit there but crotobaltslavonia probably needs the whole spot to fit his multi ethnic groups.

That spot expands a little too much in the west. Those western parts that you want were sort of styled to try to encourage any would-be player to settle in Western Himyar, it was very bland before. Extending north isn't a problem at all. I will PM Sheridan, to make sure he really is replaceable, as I was under the impression his absence hasn't been long.

But should you do, that corridor of territory across my north is recognised as the Northern Frontier Territory, and similar but slightly larger area bordering my west is recognised as the Western Frontier Territory. SoCRER considers them Engell territory, belonging to Otho-Eam and Camden, and regularly presses Dulwich to annex them. That is something I wouldn't want to abandon, it forms a significant part of SoCRER policy for South Himyar.

Regardless, I look forward to an active neighbour. PS. SocCRER is not a colony ;)

Your southern provinces are a colony in the same way the Ivernish Himyari provinces are colonies. Component parts of your nation which are otherwise still not part of your main claim and don't measure even half of your IC 'strength'. Loago is an abandoned colony/NPC given that Ovi has Beira on the same continent, and the Peninsular Republic of Bourgogne's is likewise a semi-NPC, no longer apart of the main nation and apart of the player's RP, but none the less a colony.

As far as the western parts I really want them because I wanted to have some mesoamerican flavor and louisiana flavor too and to me those areas scream that. Further, while I have a snip of western coast without that territory, it would be a very easily blockade-able portion of territory and given it is well known you claim to have a navy 4 times larger than anyone else and also claim to have a territorial claim to the entire clarencian and thaumantic sea/control of who enters it and goes through it, I can't see my nation having the flavor I wanted (Indeed it would be way more neurotic), if I don't have that territory. Not to mention it would directly cut down on the stories I can tell and make me have to redo several chunks of work that I've already done as far as story planning and creating plot hooks.

Re: Sheridan's activity? He hasn't even been online on the site since July. That counts as inactive I'd say.

I'm fine with Croatobaltoslavina taking Srbija if Engellex is. My current location makes a little more sense ethnicity-wise, as I would then share a border with Eiffeland and am closer to the "Germanic" areas. I'd be happy to rp having a singificant minority of Slavs if Croato wants, and we could roleplay a complex relationship over that.

Well, by your own definition, I'd say it looks like Engellex (NoCRER) is the colony. I do try to keep them equal, but there is something about about President Seraphina and the curious nature of things in the South that has tickled my fancy. To be fair, my activity generally isn't too great, but I try. :)

As far as the western parts I really want them because I wanted to have some mesoamerican flavor and louisiana flavor too and to me those areas scream that.

I was giving this some thought earlier, while sitting on the Tube - friends insisting I join them for a three hour Jack the Ripper tour in the rain, had me completely numbed and knackered - and so I thought about it, and I believe that you can generally have what you want and need without expanding to the entirety of that little plot. I'll post something later. But, right now, I'm quite against allowing spot claims to swallow up all points of interest and access from the general area, as there are some areas considered far too boring and uninspiring due to that.

[quote[and given it is well known you claim to have a navy 4 times larger than anyone else[/quote]

That, actually, isn't true. I haven't updated anything for Modern, but even in 1957 I certainly did not possess the biggest navy. I think third?

and also claim to have a territorial claim to the entire clarencian and thaumantic sea/control of who enters it and goes through it,

That is true. We are exceptional, we are deserving. Everybody else, just can't.

In all seriousness, an IC situation, such as that, shouldn't be that influencing. Challenge it, but IC. ;)

Re: Sheridan's activity? He hasn't even been online on the site since July. That counts as inactive I'd say.

He has a tendency to return I've noticed. However, I am not opposed to you taking over it, if it has been since July. But given how he does tend to return for moments of activity, and appears to only be interested in an American-like nation, it wouldn't be quite so right to have you swallow up too much more land.

It should all be fine, generally, anyway.

So be it, Louie. If you want to keep space for him in case he comes back, rescend my entire request. I will rewoek my national concept because while I would like some anericas flavor I don't need it to be my main focus.

Location of Capital :- As Marked. If not easily visible, it's at the terminus of the bay in the far south of the claim.
Pertinent Threads/Wiki :-

Basically as marked. The little islands and junk I got tired of trying to fill in and it started to look ugly so I just circled around them with an orange line, basically I'd like the claim and those arctic islands up to the point marked, because that increases my 'local neighbors' maximally.
