So, I've been RPing with a few people from Atlas, and you guys seem like a cool bunch. Figured I'd join, but I had a question. I have a pretty large nation, and there aren't really any large landmasses left to take. Would it be OK to take a few smaller territories as one?

Formal Nation Name: The United Imperial Republic of Chazicaria
Nation Population: 2 Billion RP wise (NS says 11 Billion)
Active Military Personnel: 2 million
Date your nation was created in (must be a month old): Jul 03, 2009, unless you mean ICly, in which case I'm still deciding that.
Any troubles with the mods?: None, as far as I know
Do you accept the Atlas Constitution? Yes
Please post some of your RP samples:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=271071 (Failed RP due to inactivity, and I've essentially formatted my nation since this RP, rewriting history, etc...)

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=211889 (Also failed. Inactivity is a bitch.)

Desired Location: Well, if the answer to my above question is yes, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71. If the answer is no, 96.

You should be accepted soon.Get ready for the wierdness...

[Valaran]

Oh yes


Also, I think taking that 5 territories might be considered a little much...

True, but I mean, his population is like 2 Billion.

I don't think someone is allowed to take multiple territories either way; the smaller territories makes it more realistic, sort of like nations like Moldova or Belize in the real world.

I was waiting for Brat to deliberate on that.

Same here; I was contemplating whether or not that's like an 'invisible' rule or something.

That's why I went for smaller ones. I'm not going to argue either way, I just think it would make more sense for a nation of 2 billion.

I think it is... to an extent. In the menawhile I was just basing my personal opinion off reasonability: 2-3 territories is fine, but anything more gets somewhat out of hand

And while that cap of '2-3 territories' could work if, say, nations were picking small territories right up to the max... Said cap would turn on itself if someone were to pick 2-3 larger territories, although the admins could easily say 'no'.

[Fallenrun]

Can you guys link me to any active regional RPS you have going on? I'm thinking of trying to join with a puppet if that is ok. I will RP of course it just won't be my main if I attempt to join.

oh I understand

But this doesn't directly relate to geographical size. This isn't the only map I use for my nation (let alone colonies) and there is no exact definition of scale. So, hopefully you wouldn't have to limit yourself in such a manner.

It also sets a precedent for other new applicants to ask for several territories. And someone would have to redraw a few maps (not a major concern, but if all new entries did this...). And as I said above, I think its fine personally to combine the odd territory, but only to a small limit.

Just my thoughts, hopefully no offense meant. And it would great to have you here

(And nations like Lava went for tiny islands like 39 )

Try these:

Also as our alliances and orgs extend outside the region, we tend to be in many more open RPs.

You may and probably will have an issue with that... Bratislav hardly allows puppets in.

Well I'm definitely going to leave my main (Fallenrun) in Hemithea. So I guess I will wait for Bratislav's answer to the puppet question.
In the meantime is the map with flags up to date? Are plots 44 to 48 still available? I won't claim them all of course. If I join I will try to be a decently sized island state and they look to be the best candidates for an island nation.

Check the OP - it's the most recent source of map placings

(The number next to a nation's name on the membership list is where they are on the map!)

[Fallenrun]

Looks like plots 44 to 48 are free. I will throw an app up when Bratislav bestows his/her/it's/whatever's judgement on whether I am allowed to join with a puppet. I will most likely go with plots 44 to 46. I don't know what the norm plot claim is. When I look at the map some plots seem so much larger than others.

[District XIV]

Usually people claim one territory; some territories are larger than others

Plots 44 to 46 seem like the same size as most nations on the map. About three of the plots are giant. You could fit about 2 and a bit 44 to 46 islands in one or two of them. Seems strange that whoever gets those three plots seems to be at an immediate advantage over most of their neighbours. However again I will probably wait for Bratislav to speak on the matter. If I can't get 44 to 46 ill try 47 and 48. Which are much smaller.

Bigger =/= always better

Having a wide, spread out territory like some nations do makes them prone to invasion, as you'd need a military which covers everything.

However those nations will have more room and most likely have a larger population and a lot of natural resources scattered around their land. These would allow them those armies and navies etc to hold the land. They would have the money from the taxes and an abundance of resources to sell off to other nations which would help their economy. So I think they probably would have the strength to defend themselves from invasion.

It depends... some of these 'spread out territories' could be Saharan-like desert terrain.
