Realistic NS World Map (Now closed due to College)

Hello fellow NSers,

My name is Cornpoison, and I am current leader of the tiny fledgling nation of Kontrolpunkto, and I'm hoping to create as realistic of an NS World map as I can.

Here is the plan:
Step 1: Declare an interest in being in this map and indicate where in the world your country is located*
*You can use pre-existing national borders, or create your own, it's really up to you
Step 2: I draw it in that location

There are some additional rules though:

1. No "new" landmasses/islands. I've tried doing this before with people making up islands in the middle of the Pacific or some crazy nonsense and it didn't work. So only use real world land and islands
2. You may find that your country size is much smaller than what you expected it to be. That is because I take country population into consideration. If you're wondering how I determine country size, here is the answer:

y=.0259736915x + .0013177736

(I'll explain the rest to you guys later, if you want)
3. If your territory overlaps with someone else's, I'm giving preference to the first person who posted.

ALL THAT BEING SAID:


Here's what we have so far:

This seems like a very neat idea. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Russian_Empire_(orthographic_projection).svg
Don't count Alaska and the bright green parts.

Thank you guys for waiting. Updates won't usually be this regular, I just got really excited about making this map this morning so I went ahead and added your countries

If you have any questions, please ask them! I'd be happy to answer them whenever possible!

I perfectly understand this.

To be quite honest, I'm mostly making this map for the fun of it during my spare time

Can you draw some islands in the Atlantic in between Angola and Brazil? I have thirty-two islands so it's ok if you make them smaller.

I'd just like to say you're awesome for making this. :)

No, sorry, it's one of my rules
(1. No "new" landmasses/islands.)


I get that yours are just a couple of islands in the Atlantic, but if I acquiesce to those islands, I must also acquiesce to that one guy who wants a continent out in the middle of the Pacific that's the size of America for his country. Sorry, but rules are rules

But thank you for the support. I really appreciate it

Okay, I guess I'm getting all riled up because the new map is here, all updated

(Link is also in the first post)

Let me know if you need to me to change the name (like adding 'Glorious' or 'Empire' right in the title page of the map). I am willing to make changes after all... if they are needed... I guess...

(No but seriously, if you have any questions, just ask)

also any threat against them will bring eltandis into involvement
