Ok, time for formal introductions.
For those who don't remember, I'm the yank who drove the facist axis batshit before they apparantly nuked themselves off the map (a fact I received with no small amount of satisfaction). My current activities include grad school and radiobiology research...
Nay, I shall be more active in the next few weeks. I was simply waiting for a map spot to begin shaping myself here. Once the fires of finals pass I shall return in full.
It depends, a lot of coastal areas are already taken and proportionally unless existing nations want to radically alter their shapes and borders (thus affecting RP and history) it doesn't seem feasible to really "edit" the existing continents very much.
