You can see our regional map in our "World Factbook".
The map will get new land masses on request and when we estimate that it's needed. The map will only grow on the line east-west.
Northernlands is a real-time roleplay region, but we have limited usage of certain futuristic technologies(for first wave and first sub-wave only). In certain situations we also might use the Random Number Generator(RNG), when one side requests it and if the others involved agree to it. If you are not interasted in roleplaying(yet or at all), you may still join the region without filling the application(in that case please contact Ordoxia).
We are using a custom map so we will add new continents and islands when we estimate that it's needed. For now, we have a "first come first served" policy, which means that those who come among the first will have more options to pick which part of the regions they want to place their country in, among other benefits.
We are also using the "wave" system, or "wave of joining" system. That means that countries that join our region join in waves, which means that the limitations of the wave they join in apply to them. First two waves have no special restrictions, except the size of the country and the nature(and number) of the "advantage points" they can pick. Each wave, except the first wave, has five slots for countries. The first wave is the wave of founders and countries which contribute to the developement and management of the region. Countries in the first wave, even when they are not founders, can be considered managers of the region and our roleplays. A spot in the first sub-wave is the biggest reward for activity and contribution to the developement of our region.
Benefits for countries that join depend on when they are joining. The sooner a nation applies, the more benefits it gets. General benefits which are granted to every country, but in diferent ammount and/or form are:
-You can pick the location and the size of your country, but there must be clear diferences in size/characteristics between each wave of nations.
-You can pick one or more field(s) in which your country will be "the best" in(economicaly, politicaly or militarely). This number gets lower for each new wave, until it completely dissapears.
-You get more freedom in picking your stats in the application. Each wave starting from the third will have some limitations.
At the very start, please read the Introduction to Nationstates Roleplay if you are new to roleplaying.
You can see explanations of some terms that will be used later in the application
IMPORTANT:
We are currently in the third wave of countries. Nations of this wave get two advanced points when they join the region.
The limitations of this wave include:
*The nations in this wave can not be Superpowers.
*The nations in this wave can not have a population bigger than 79 million.

NOTE: Each wave of countries except the first has five slots for nations. The first wave is a wave for a founder(s) and managers, while the first sub-wave is a wave for deserving members who contributed a lot to the developement of the region who might also be roleplay managers. That means that the first wave(and the firsy sub-wave) offers certain benefits, but they have to be under the already existing rules.
Since the third wave newly applied countries can not be superpowers. From the fifth wave each wave gets a new limitation.
We are currently in the third wave.
For map reservation send me a private message when you fill out this form, saying are you interested on the East or West part of the region. Then i will send you that part of the map, so you can mark the territory you want.
NOTE: This text(along with the regional map) will further be edited later, but the countries which already used the application before the changes won't be asked to answer on any new questions that may appear.
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread, and i hope you'll consider joining us in Northernlands.
