January 2024 Map Thread!
Naughty Nikola Edition
Here is the update for January 2024! This one was a bit challenging for multiple reasons! First of all we're getting the first change in look and feel for the first time in I think about two years. We're moving away from the old WW2 typewriter attempted look. This took quite a bit more work than I wanted but the plus side is that because of this work I've also been able to streamline the file size even more. I think forever gone are the days of 30MB map downloads, I've now been able to get this baby down to just under 9MB.
Again as per last time, please be calculated and use the tools at your disposal before making map requests. That means...
Someday Xen will bless us with something more official link wise, but for now, we meet pCloud.com servers again!
In regards to pCloud, many have complained about the links in the past saying they have to make an account! Nope! Not true! Make sure you read all the small print and if I remember right on mobile you have to click download. The file is perhaps large for phones though, so if you have a data plan on your phone that you have to worry about, don't say I didn't warn you! The file size can be found next to the file.

Are you applying for a MAP SPOT? Follow this template below precisely!
Location (Please describe very carefully, or provide a good picture):
Name of Country: --
Capital City: --
Location of Capital City: --
Additional Major Cities (Max 2): --
Additional Minor Cities (Max 3): --
Miscellaneous: --
To protect the fairness of our game, please make all requests for alteration to the map publicly. The Mapmaker will not make changes based on Discord, PM, Skype or any other private or offsite conversations. We will not accept requests forwarded anywhere other than official public map threads.
INACTIVITY & DISCLAIMER
Role play activity will prevent deletion from the map, there is no minimum activity needed to prevent removal as it is due to Mapmaker discretion, though an announcement of departure in the Absence Thread will excuse a drop off of activity. Prior to future removal, the inactive player will be announced and tagged in the map thread. Requests to remove inactive players can also happen in this thread, but please do so politely and also tag the player in question.

Again as per last time, please be calculated and use the tools at your disposal before making map requests. That means...
- Open a thread to discuss with your peers.
- Create a draft wiki-page to help us understand the project better.
- When coming up with a concept do a complete job and advocate for all of your project, even if you don't plan to have it mapped all at once.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help.
- All of the text packages have been changed (this was the bulk of the work)
- Nations are now fully colored in and are represented in a more typical political map mode (this also took awhile)
- The filter intensity has been lowered even further
- Countries continue to be slowly and randomly greened
- If your country was removed, you probably haven't touched it in close to a year, if not more. If so, you may apply again to get on the map again
- Some countries that are ancient are still on the map!? Yes, it wasn't a complete job, but that's because they were too small for me to care to notice them
- Some countries were greened because they have too many projects and those projects are also inactive. They are free to re-apply whichever concepts they want to keep, but please be polite and remove your inactive nations in the future
- The map file size continues to shrink!
- With the rather large amount of changes, please let me know if a random piece of text or something is incorrect

Are you applying for a MAP SPOT? Follow this template below precisely!
- If the mapmaker cannot read or understand your application, you may suffer from errors or a mapmaker designed solution
- Do not add superfluous additions that only serve to confuse the mapmaker such as rivers, buildings, or otherwise strange scribbles
- If you wish to have a denoted tall mountain added to your plot, you may request it in the miscellaneous section!
- If you want a colonial addition, request it in the miscellaneous section!
- If you have an offbeat request it can be in the miscellaneous section, but please keep it concise and if there is a picture, make it separate from the first one!
- You can request more cities in the future! Just not all at once! It's not fun for the mapmaker to map a lot and then the project is short lived. You can request cities in a small bunch, and then in subsequent maps, you can request two additional cities per map thread (permitted space is available)
