Doing so now.

You should take more of Russia, it isn't like there is really much of a population towards the far north, and it can actually help to provide a major headache, what with the unruly people who do live there. Also, it provides an excellent location for labour camps, and should you ever be invaded, a rump state.


Hmm. I'm considering it, but I'm not going to take ALL of the white area in geographic Russia. Maybe Siberia could meet me 70-30?

That blank space between Spanish Northern Africa, French Northern Africa, the Tuareg state, and the Ottoman Empire should be broken up amongst them, just so that territory is actually inhabited and used for the RP.

Because I'm intentionally handicapping myself. I want to be a weaker nation in the RP.

And Nuclear, maybe we could assume those are yet to be colonized?

It's best just to have them taken up now. There is still the rest of Africa that is yet to be colonised.

In short, my nation is a highly policed strict, seemingly utopian autocracy with an almost religious environmental fetish.

Keep most of Africa un-colonized. That way we get a Colonial rush when the RP starts to get things rolling early.

Agreed. Even though I won't be doing much in the Scramble for Africa myself, we're happy with out snow and vodka.

I'm somewhat wondering about switching to an independent postcolonial South African nation, though...

Good, although there is still quite a large chunk complete locked in between Spanish, French, and Tuareg possessions.

Stay as Russia. We need that space filled up, considering the sheer importance of Russia.

Gotcha. Although I do like the idea of an intra-African empire based on the Orange Free State and whatnot. Someone should do it.

You should also take some of Central Asia, along with East Russia, so that most of the white space is filled.

Gave it to the Tuareg.

EDIT: I also reduced some of Spain's coastal holdings, as long, drawn-out coastal holdings limits the colonial capacity for other nations. To make up for it, you get some slightly more consolidated holdings in Mexico, and the pan-handle of Florida.
