The Continent of Fruria

[Puttania]

By Royal Order of His Majesty King Giulio III of Puttania

The Cartographical Society of Puttania is hereby founded with the aim of charting the lay of the land of Fruria and all the realms therein. For too long has our great country lived in the darkness of ignorance, even of its own neighbours. We do decree that it is in the national interest to gather all available information on the nature of this continent we inhabit.

The Society's map of Fruria is currently hopeless out of date, but we are assured they are working on a new one:

The Department of Industrial & Military Mapping, meanwhile, has produced this rather more complete but far less splendid map:

(Larger versions of these maps here and here)

Both organisations are now requesting information to help complete their maps from those nations which claim territory in Fruria.

Furthermore, all nations with territory in Fruria are invited to join the Frurian Union.

(OOC: Maps made by me are the ultimate authority. Please limit claims to roughly the same size as mine, or half to two-thirds the size for colonies. Should two nations claim the same area, priority is given to the nation which wants to be indigenous to Fruria, or the nation which claimed it first if both or neither do. If I say your claim is too big, it's too big, and the excess will be left to be conquered by another nation/ransacked by marauding savages/occupied by dragons)

(Also, pretty please give your colony a name. No-one wants to live in a nameless identikit nowhere.)

Bump.

[Aashveda]

How, may I ask, does this procedure work? Aashveda might potentially be interested in claiming some land, but we need to know the parameters that you are setting in this.

[San Pellegrino Romana]

OOC: I'm wondering about the rules as well, but for the meantime I was wondering if I could claim the part highlighted in purple (Thanks to Uribistan for filling out my part so neatly).

[Uribistan]

This is the land I would claim.

I would like to call it the Protectorate of Southern Puttania. It would have Uribistan's president as Chief of State and their own Prime Minister.

Flaming Soul Forces, as an archipelago would be willing explore and possibly annex the big island in the south east

See the OOC bit at the bottom of my OP for details of where and how much you can claim.

Accepted, with small changes to the border.

Accepted. Nice map, is that the highest resolution you have? Just asking because it's lower than my massive one and so I might have to fudge it slightly when updating that one. And Southern Puttania, eh? I like it. Did you have a backstory in mind?

I'll let you explore it, but not annex it. That island's too big to be controlled entirely by one nation but I'll give you first dibs on colonising half of it if you like.

[Russian-Baltic Union]

We are claiming the island next to Puttania.I don't know if i'm acceptted and if i am can someone add me on the map?

[Puttania]

Sorry I don't know where you mean, there isn't an island next to Puttania...

[Russian-Baltic Union]

i mean the unknown next to you

[Puttania]

Oh, ok. I was thinking of that being 2 colonies or 1 nation's homeland; do you already have land elsewhere? If not I'll let you have it all but if so I'd like you to choose a smaller claim, either the northern or southern half of it.

[Russian-Baltic Union]

no i don't have any other land

[Flaming Soul Forces]

'Our missionaries have explored the island which they named 'Colonia'.They discovered that is a tropical island which is uninhabited.
In the interior there is a tropical rainforest.Since the island is too big we claim only the eastern part and call it East Colonia.
It is unsure however whether East Colonia will be colonised or declared federal park in order to protect its virgin nature.
This will be decided on a future referendum.'

OOC; You can divide the island on the map and give me East Colonia so that other nation may lay claim on West Colonia.
Maybe something like this?

[Russian-Baltic Union]

So you want to share the island?I'm in!

[Flaming Soul Forces]

So you want to share the island?I'm in!

Why not? Puttania said that it was too big for one nation.

[Puttania]

Wait, Russian-Baltic Union, do you want half of the peninsula in the north-east or the island in the south-east? (and if the peninsula, which half?)

[Hippostania]

Could I have the area around the southern river delta, and the area along the river that extends north?

[Russian-Baltic Union]

South east.I changed my mind.

[Of the Quendi]

I would like to claim the northern peninsula down to the river separating it from the rest of the main island.

[Puttania]

Could I have the area around the southern river delta, and the area along the river that extends north?

Certainly. And since a) your claim is small and b) a river is a reasonable avenue for a colonial nation to penetrate a continent I'll let you encroach on the grey area slightly. (rough borders for now - I'll neaten them up when other nations claim land next to yours)

Cool. Updated.

The northwest? That's reserved for nations with no territory elsewhere (although I'm not seeing too many of them, I may change that policy as the white area fills up) and I gather you have some already. You can have a colony occupying half of the northeast peninsula if you like.

EDIT: Also, Hippostania, can I call your colony Hippopotamia?

[Crolacia]

Could we claim our land on this part:


Thank you in foward!

Well then the northeast will do.

Actually, I'd appreciate if you could call it Martefulminis
Also, remember to label it as a Hippostanian colony like this: Martefulminis (Hippostanian Colony)

Accepted

Ok, which part of it do you want?

"By Mars of the thunderbolt"? And was that a specific request for the word "colony" to be included? On the others I was just putting the name of the owning nation in brackets...

You don't have to include the word ''colony''. And yeah, I got that nation as a gift from a guy who quit NS. It used to be some kind of Ancient Greek nation, I turned it into a Hippostanian colony.
