How Were YN's Borders Decided?

[Narland]

How did your nation get its current borders? Is it based on geography, historical borders, or agreements in a peace treaty, or something else? ... What about your nation?

Alternative history (over a thousand small balkanized nation-states and city states on the planet) and alternative geography (Greater and Lesser Antilles form form an isthmus land mass linking Yucatan to Venezuela and much of what would be southern Mexico and Central America are the Mayan Islands. The borders for the Commonwealth were determined by quick war gaming using dice and a history book. Political events mirror our own and culture is based on Canadian and American Trapper,/Trader, Amerind and Pioneer tales of the 17th-19th centuries.

The Commonwealth of Narland comprises what would have been the Louisiana Purchase minus Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and including what is ID and OR & WA east of the Cascade Mountains making it one of the largest countries in the history of this world exceeded only by the current Tibetan Consortium and the Sub-Saharan Chaka Empire.

[Karamiko]

Geography. Our territory consists of the Antarctic continent and a few outlying islands.

[Taihei Tengoku]

Negation--the lands of the Heavenly Realm consist of those areas governed by the regency for King Jesus in anticipation of the Second Coming, bounded by the areas which are not.

[Transyrbia]

While the official border was settled upon independence in 1991, the Transyrbian Provisional Government already maintained the exact same borders after the Transyrbian White Army signed a truce with the Soviet Union in 1925.

[Glakinau]

War with the countries next to us, until we made peace and decided to set our rigid boundaries on paper.

[Randumbness]

The modern borders of Randumbness was part of the Paris Peace Treaties giving the Randumbness border(which was landlocked at the time) access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.But in the starting years of the Randumb Kingdom/Empire's borders were created from war and agreements with France and the German Empire.

[Gandoor]

Geography.

Gandoor exists on its own landmass and therefore has no physical borders with other nations, there is only where our territory ends and the Pacific Ocean begins. (Obviously ignoring maritime borders)

[Anollasia]

We're an island, so our borders are defined naturally. However, we weren't always unified. Our unification was a result of the Treaty of Anollasia (1686), which united English Anolland with Ottoman Anolland to form the Condominium of Anollasia. The original motive for this was to fight unified against the invading French, who had occupied most of English Anolland and attempted to invade Ottoman Anolland as well.

[Maichuko]

We annexed all the Kingdoms around us until we started to bump into European colonies who were heavily garrisoned.

[Charellia]

Our original borders were set based on the borders of the states that formed the original Charellian federation. Since then several neighbouring nations have been voluntarily annexed, so our modern borders are mostly based on the borders of these later additions.

[Corindia]

Whatever we could kick the Spanish off of became ours

[Great Nortend]

Great Nortend is an island and so the borders are determined thereby.

[Alard]

Our nation covers the entire surface of a large moon, so our borders are the atmosphere of the world. We don't often establish colonies on the Earths that we teleport into orbit around, since we'll vanish again in a month anyway and never visit that universe again.

[Aevu]

Aevu started as a small kingdom whose borders were roughly defined by the limits of the river valley in which it inhabited. Now days the border is defined as the edge of conquered territories, which is usually the former border of the failed and absorbed nation(s) in question. The Empire is further divided into recently conquered Territories, loyal Provinces, and the heavily defended Capital Province which contains the original river valley and all of its valuable farmland.

[The Boeric States]

The island of Seheron and the nations of Accordo and Lucis were liberated after the War of Resurgence. After the Treaty of Altissia was signed in 9:48 Dragon, Tevinter declared war on us in order to cement their place as one of the great powers of Thedas, thinking we were weak after 4 years of war.
We took advantage of this to invade the former Boeric kingdoms of Qarinus and Neromenien. Tevinter's armies were small and primitive, still using bows and swords, while the Boeric armies had shields, firearms and air support. we quickly took the two kingdoms and forced them to negotiating table. We started a tech exchange in return for an alliance with Tevinter and the recognition of our borders.

[Teleported Germany]

By which devices were intact and accessable during the time of teleportation.

[The Free Islands of Independence]

Any islands within our archipelago we're claimed by us. Doesn't account for military islands though.
