Official RP Map Thread [old]

Please make all claims publicly in this thread. I am willing to discuss changes with you via telegram, PM, and Skype, but the claim/change must be made here. Annexation and colonization must meet certain standard as set by the roleplay community (link to be inserted when guidelines have been written). Please make efforts to learn about your neighbors (especially long-established ones) before determining whether or not your nation is a thousand years old and formally held an entire continent as part of its empire. This map depends on continuity and comradery with the RP community.

Inactive nations, defined as no active RP post within 60 days (subject to change), will be removed from the map with no reservation given unless vitally important to current events. Inactive nations deemed too important to remove will become NPC nations and property of the roleplay community. Please post a leave of absence or get word to someone if you will be gone for an extended period.

Updates will be posted on Mondays unless otherwise noted.

Future updates will include capital city locations.

MAKING A CLAIM
Location : (Please describe to the best of your ability, or provide a simple image. Sloppy borders will be drawn at my discretion.)
Name of Country : (Short name will do)
Important RP: (Essential for annexation or colonial expansion)
NOTE : PLEASE MAKE YOUR CLAIM CLEAR. Some claims have been made in a stylized fashion or have parts of borders cropped out. This will DELAY your addition to the map. Non-textured files are available upon request.

This would be unacceptable in canon as one of the claimed spots is in Zeorite territory. Zeorus is a socialist confederation and is not open to foreign capitalist ventures.

Alarconte · November 7, 2014, 10:16pm

In order to finish my detailed factbook I need to claim a little piece of the map for the mainland of The Grand Duchy of Baronnia (Baronnia for map’s sake)!

Here are the zone I reclaim, including an extra map for making specific declaration of the 4 isles I want!

Dragonia · November 8, 2014, 9:08pm

I would like to claim this piece of the map if at all possible please …

Location: https://imageshack.com/i/p8lGCqPxg
[nation=Dragonia][/nation]

Hopefully this is acceptable … RP:

Dragonia is a Neutral Nation, it’s borders open to all who wish to get away and enjoy the scenic environmental paradise of this country. Come enjoy our beaches, walk or ride our various nature trails, enjoy our casino resorts and attractions, or even just to enjoy the comforts of our Companions if you so choose too. Marvel in how Dragonia has balanced the need for modern technology and the preservation of our beautiful environment.

Tourism is one of Dragonia biggest resource for this nation.

Or is it? If one knows where to look there is a strong military presence, “for security purposes” of course.

The Grand Duchy of Dragonia has a rich history which is shrouded in mystery or myth if one is inclined to believe in such. These tall and graceful people are said to be the true descendents of a lost continent that sank beneath the waves in a cataclysmic war that reshaped the Urth as we now know it.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Companion, a high-society courtesan licensed by the Duchy. In Dragonian, Companions are part of the society, often accompanying the wealthy and powerful. There is considerable ritual and ceremony surrounding their services, which appear to extend beyond sex to nurturing psychological and emotional well-being. Companions choose their own customers, and can have ungracious customers banned from any Companionship. Companions are both male and female.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

What y’all think? I might have to “tweak” the current non-RP Dragonia a bit…

Dovahofkiin · November 9, 2014, 5:36am

Location: http://i58.tinypic.com/24kz4fc.png
Name: Dovahofkiin

Info

Up within the cold reachs of the Urth lies the quiet kingdom of Dovahofkiin. This nation is prized for its loyal citizens and unique culture. Dovahofkiin is built off of the belief of Dragons, ancient reptilian beasts that taught man how to fight with its voice. Many true citizens of Dovahofkiin worship dragons as gods and leaders-- forming the Dragon Cult as Dovahofkiins state religion. The official state language of Dovahofkiin is Dovahzul, a unique language to Dovahofkiin. The people of Dovahofkiin are steadfast, loyal and resistant to the cold habitat, and the culture of Dovahofkiin has made every citizen an effective fighter, and these fighters are enlisted into the military of Dovahofkiin with haste, thanks to the Compulsory Military Service law. Some believe that the leaders and government of Dovahofkiin nre Dragons themselves, and they hide within the walls of Jun Angaar, in the city of Dovhiiv. This cant be true, though…or can it?

Alarconte: I like the position and shape of your border, but it isn’t clear enough and has been cropped out of the inset. If you would please draw the border on the include image, I’ll add you immediately. Thanks.

Updated. See OP for changelog.

British_Grand_Pacific · November 19, 2014, 6:48am

I realized I added Baronnia to a version of the map that did not include the Serenitech claims. This has been remedied and will be in the next update that I will post tomorrow. My apologies to both Alarconte and Smig. As Smig/Serenitech posted their claim first, there will be a slight change to Alarconte/Baronnia’s borders.

Davinhia · November 19, 2014, 9:13pm

MAKING A CLAIM
Location : http://i.imgur.com/cv7TmFv.png
Name of Country : Davinhia
Important RP: A nation with a large amount of people. heavy Military power, and is very well known across the world for its huge civil and political rights. The nation has extreme technological advancements, and is a space dominator.

When putting it in, can you fix up my sloppy borders?
I’m bad at doing stuff like that

EDIT:/:/: “Space dominator” is PMT, Davinhia is a developing nation in the MT world. Most of my RP’s are PMT, but I can do MT. I’m just not too used to MT, so I would probably say things in a little more advanced tense.

Prussia · November 19, 2014, 10:28pm

The Kaiser spits his tea out.

“GENERAL SHULTZZZZZZZZZ GET IN HERE”

“Yessir”

“Why do we have a new neighbor!!???!?!?!”

“Well they were reported to be a small tribe, we didn’t look into them. Intellegence suggested they were weak.”

“Screw intelligence. They’re no good pieces of shit. Tell ya what, withdraw our SR-71s from reconning Kohlandia. I want at least two flying over that worthless piece of land at all times. Round the clock information. Also, bring the navy back home. I want them to stock up, give the sailors a few days at home, then they are to start patrolling 5 miles into International Waters off the coastal waters of this piece of land. I dont want anyone coming close to crossing into its waters, but make sure that everyones ready to go if shit hits the fan. We clear?”

“Yes Sir!”

“So Say We All”

“SO SAY WE ALL!!!”
