I would talk with Hippo about that if I were you. He already has a full map with dozens upon dozens of cities, as well as municipalities, constituencies, roads, etc.

Could I get the link to Hippos map?

Also, how does this district thing work. Some people on here proudly proclain their district and some of them are well developed IC wise. How does that work?

I think we should have a separate national animal and a national bird. Birds are a beautiful and majestic enough kingdom to get their own classification for a specific national bird.

We could, but it would not be a very large population, more of a rest stop for the seals. They tend to stick to the bigger islands and the mainland.

I think people have just been choosing one they want. Considering we have almost 400 senators now, we could have conflicting claims which would need to be resolved or we need to make more constituencies.

Or we simply use the system in place where prominent senators have constituencies and not so prominent members are taken from party lists.

Read prominent as "active". People who are less active are lower down on the list.

So i get a district then. Ok then

By the way, is it reasonable to assume we have a species of bear living here?

I will check, but probably not.

EDIT: No, unless the species was introduced, but even then it might not have enough resources or space to survive.

No. Climate is generally too warm and dry for bears to thrive. We most likely have scorpions though.
