If you want something done right, do it yourself. And if you can't do it yourself get somebody else to do it for you.

Right. I'll fix the spelling mistakes.

Sorry, but I can't use the file there....I've added a few more nations, and it'll be easier to just edit the map to fix the misspellings than to go baxk and add them all in again.

EDIT:

Ok, Hippostania, city names fixed, and I'll try to fix the rivers too...

I'm going to do some geography edits requested before I upload an update.

by **Hippostania** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:05 am

If you can, just remove the Eastern Mountains and name them ''Albion Mountains''. Instead, name the mountains south of Hippostania as ''Southern Mountains''

Right, so I finished this update before I saw your last request Hippostania, and I'll get to that in the next one (likely to be tomorrow). The Eastern Mountains, I'll probably relabel as the Hippostani Spur, to kind of match what's going on in the east with the Everfree Spur.

Update

Immoren, I updated your coast. Hope that works for you.
Hippostania, I fixed the misspellings. I tried to play around with the rivers a bit....any closer?
YellowApple, your wandering line extends to the north side of the map now.

...damn making up pony-related puns for city names is hard

And excellent work Lubyak! :hug:

Move Wokingham a bit to the left and remove the weird + shaped river thingy in the top right corner of Hippostania, and also remove the Lothian River-text from there.
Other than that, it is perfect!

Oh, and I'd appreciate if you could name the sea west of Hippostania as ''Western Sea''

by **YellowApple** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:25 am

I have "Art of the Dress" playing in my head whenever I read this thread (hey, that rhymed.)

Nice work, Lubyak.

Heh. That must be really hard.....keep trying though! The more complete we can make this map, the more awesome it looks.

And thanks! :hug:

Right. That'll be done pretty quick, the city moving at least.
The problem with moving the weird + shaped river thing is that, well...the Lothian's coming down from the mountains and flows through your country. At the same time, we've got another river forming your eastern border and flowing north.

Those two have to cross somewhere. I can make the crossing a lake thingy if you'd like...but it's hard to get rid of 100%.

If you could just move the river coming from the east a bit more north or south so they don't meat each other exactly at the same point, I'd be fine with that.

Looks good. Now that one of the Urmanias cities was renamed from Stampere to Stampare, I can use Stampere as name of pony city/town in my nation. As Stampere contains name of RL finnish city and I my nation is after all partially finnish inspired.

Tampere+stampede.

It was a mispelling on Lubyak's side, I did name it Stampere (as in Tampere+stamp), but if you wish to use it, I'll rename it...

Oh. Well then... *uses eraser furiously* Back to writing board. You don't have to rename it.

Ah, the ponified name of my hometown! Living in ponified Tampere would be awesome :3

Yeah, I meant it as a nod to you :3

Embassy · by **Lubyak** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:49 am

Oh my.

I'm sorry about the misspelling. I'll fix it ASAP.

And Hippostania, gotcha. I originally considered that river coming in from the East parth of the Lothian (hence the name hanging out there), but I'll fix it so it's not.

Embassy · by **Lubyak** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:56 am

Since those were two minor things, I've updated the map to reflect that. Sorry for the spelling error. :blush:

Update

And if I may join the conversation....I've been to Finland once. Only a few days in Helsinki before going to visit St. Petersburg and Moscow, and I did like it there. Hopefully I'll be able to go back and do more touristy stuff. :lol:

I don't know how I would ponify my home town. And name of place where my current study place is, can't really be ponified, but it can be quite directly be named after creature from MLP:FIM mythos.

by **Urmanian** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 12:02 pm

A minor update: removed some islands because hey fuck islands, added a city and a couple of rivers.

Also, my ponified hometown is also present, kinda

My hometown is called Weymouth. All I could do to Ponify that is change it to Neighmouth...

*is tempted to do that*

I wasn't sure about how could I ponify St.Petersburg, so I went with 'Luningrad' instead

Update to reflact Urmanian's hatred of islands, his new city, and the rivers.

It's supposed to be 'Flankfurt am Mane' :unsure:

by **Ponistan** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 12:35 pm

The Ponies' Republic of Ponistan, in my mind, is a fairly small nation, with mountains in the north and center of the country, and a small eastern coast, with the capital of Stalliongrad in the center of the country, right in or near the central mountains. Other cities would be Foalzhou and Guantrotamare along the coast, Yakaterinburg and Eldingburg in the mountains, Campolina south of the capital, and Fairflanks, Walkaloosa, and Welara anywhere.

EDIT: And I know that phonetically, Fuzhou doesn't sound anything like 'hooves', but, still...

EDIT2: Foalzhou. That works.

I personally like "Lunagrad" instead. Same theme and sounds close enough, but rolls off the tongue much easier. But your call.
