I have done a complete review of the validity of all votes. There are no further invalidations other than those confirmed by Heraklea-. Stormaen applied (albeit in the wrong thread) in 2013, so their vote is valid. Therefore, I confirm: Dragay is the winner.

We are all moving forward together, with the recognition that this RP is what we make of it. The following is the full extent of what has been decided for the next iteration of the RP:
    *Island/Archipelago in the Norwegian Sea

The name, history, demographics, flag, map, and so on are still up for debate and voting. I was thinking we could begin with the name, but it may make more sense to begin with the demographics and then choose the name after that. I'm open to suggestions on that front, so please let me know. We have of course begun to make political parties, as is expected, so please keep going with that.

I end on a sad note: Beta Test has resigned as administrator. He feels he does not have enough time to properly devote to the job, so he will stay on as a senator only. If you wish to nominate someone for the open administrator position, please TG my puppet Hysnit.

Oh, and we will be opening a new lobby and other main threads once there's more in place, like a name and some numbers at minimum.

I am currently working on some roughs of a map, vaguely inspired by some other insular nations in the north sea, such as the Faroe Islands and Shetland. I hope that mine will be selected :)

First suggestion: Change the name.

Dragay is terrible. Ditch the name scheme and accept things that don't start with D.

I'm supportive of a different name. I have said to others that it was a quick and dirty name selected because it sounded vaguely Nordic and started with a D.

That said, I have a new proposed name: Dathgard. Means roughly "Home of Courage".

Replace the d and add an r: "Drathgar".
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

I humbly propose something different for a change. Nordic Crosses are the epitome of a boring flag: The exact same design scheme every time.

There is no sovereign state that I know of that uses a saltire aside from Jamaica (and Burundi, which has a circle in the middle), and the only major country that uses one is Scotland. As such, I put forward a red flag with a white saltire. We can make it mean whatever we want it to mean, but I think it looks nice.

^actual flag is higher quality, I had to downsize it to fit into NS.

I'd prefer this over the nordic cross. Maybe add in a lion like is often seen in a coat of arms.

This could work. In fact, it could point out to our Danish roots and Scottish influence.
