If at all possible, if Trivodnia could could be renamed the Polesian People's Republic or Polesia.

 

[Pelasgia]

Alright so me and @Azraq agreed to keep Tephanon to the islands already west of him. Pelasgia will have two Sovereign Base Areas (mark them as very small coastal areas, dots essentially - see the British Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus for reference) on the southern coasts of the southernmost two of the islands. The one closest to Azraq will be Cape Saint Nicholas and the on further to the east Dioskouridou.

Now on to me. Since Pelasgia will be leaving the Trier Concord, I would appreciate it if you could change my colour to reflect my neutrality. Also, here's my new map:

Red is Propontis, the national capital. Yellow are major cities that are not capitals of Themes. Orange are major cities that are Thematic (provincial) capitals. Please include as many of these as possible. Hierosolyma should be marked as a "sub-national" capital due to its role as a Holy City. The following cities are over 2.5 million: Propontis (obviously), Thermi, Drabescus, Edessa, Cassandris, Berenice Arsinoica (you can just shorten it to Berenice), Embasis, Evosmos, Hierosolyma, Sidon. The other major marked cities are under 2.5 million.
Thanks and sorry if I gave you a lot of work again!

So there's really a whole new continent in the works?

 

[Touzen]

A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view

 

[Justosia]

Well then...........

 

[Natal]

Can you please rename Virumaa to Caledonia, Loksa to Langaim and Imavere to Dun Glas?

Evidently there is still much to do, hold tight.

 

[Rheinbund]

Thank you for your work I have some questions, but I will ask them upon the next version.

 

[Rheinbund]

On second thought, maybe it would be better if I ask my questions now, rather than after finalisation of the draft.

1. The "Undetermined Sea" used to be part of the Kalahari Sea. Is there a reason why that changed?
   
   
2. Retalia used to have those small islands in the Thaumantic Ocean called the Wind Islands (30 degrees North, close to the left edge of the previous map) and the Islands of Hope between 0 and 10 degrees South; northwest of the former Peninsula Republic (currently sunk in the ocean). Is there a reason why you removed these groups of islands?
   
   
3. Now that I'm looking more closely, I see that you removed the complete southwestern part of Hymiar. Even the SoCRER is gone. Furthermore, the ETCOS has been moved, and the ETCAS has emerged. Is there a reason why this happened?
   
   
4. I see that you made the Long Sea narrower. Is there a reason why you did so?
   
   
5. I also see that you turned the line through Helgoland and Rügen (the big Long Sea islands belonging to Eiffelland) as well as the Long Sea Islands currently belonging to Iorusah to the right, making that line flatter. Would it be possible to turn that line to a more vertical position again, like in the previous map?
   
   
6. I see that Eiffelland and Retalia are still shown as separate countries. Is that to reflect that those countries are indeed separate entities, despite the fact that they are in a union? Is the discussion on that union not considered final yet? Or has the decision to unite those countries been reversed?
   

From my point of view, these are neutral questions. I know that doing the map is not an easy task. Maybe, for whichever reason, you are either forced to do some things or the program does things for you that you don't intend.

For question 6, the reason why I ask it, is that I need to know if I can continue to RP as Eiffelland-Retalia, or have to RP as Eiffelland again.

1. The name was popularly disliked, but none had yet suggested an alternative, so the 'Undetermined Sea' is a little push by myself for others to agree a change.

2. That whole area has been changed, with the small islands in that area having been deleted. When the map is properly finished anyone is free to apply for small islands like before.

3. That part of Himyar was removed for two reasons - the majority of the claimed pixels were for territories imagined as being New World (Occidentia); and two, for the sake of opening up the map given that there is a new continent. ETCOS was originally imagined as being a colony true to Himyar, with an Australian theme almost, so the new location seemed more suited given the sinking; and ETCAS used to be Al-Kez, I will be RPing the surrender of that territory on finishing this map, and its current location matches almost exactly where the original was located. SoCRER is still a WIP.

4. The Long Sea, as I have been made aware of numerously, is seen as a Mediterranean Sea despite its implementation as being substantially bigger, so I used the opportunity to render it more relative to how everyone perceives it.

5. The Long Sea was made much more narrow. That bigger island of yours would have been much consumed by Pelasgia if left unaltered. The directions were changed a little to make the all the islands flow a bit better, given the reduced Long Sea.

6. Like Occitania, nothing was requested in the map thread. Simply waiting on further instructions, nothing more.

 

[Rheinbund]

1. Understood. I will start thinking and proposing something.

2. Understood. I won't ask those islands to re-emerge though. I was intending to have them sunk anyway, because I want to avoid the IC-irritations that could emerge from them.

3. Understood. I will wait for SoCRER to re-emerge.

4. Understood. I agree to it.

5. Understood. I also see that you changed the shapes of those islands. I will redo my maps of those islands as well.

6. Understood. My apologies. Herewith my request: Could you please combine Eiffelland and Retalia into "Eiffelland-Retalia", with a dashed line at the current border between Continental Eiffelland and Continental Retalia?

Location: There are two spots i'd like my nation to be located at, as for spot 1 I'm not sure if the Northern Coop Unions is an NPC or a player, in that case i apologize. Spot 1 is on the upper left, Spot 2 is on the bottom right. Any will do, but i'd prefere spot 1 (if it isn't occupied by a player, of course)

I'm not an NPC, but I've already claimed the spot. If you want that spot, I'm cool with it, just know you need to do some RP before a claim is recognized.

Excellent map, by the way. The NCU is technically affiliated with the Rurikgrad Pact so if you want to color me in those colors it'd be cool with me.
