Well, I uh kinda needed the southern part. There's nothing in the north, most of my population, industry, etc. would have to be in the south.


I dunno, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria; pretty happening places. Egypt's supporting a population of 90 million.

Egypt is farther east than I was originally claiming. Severe lack of any notable natural resources and water sources in most parts of North Africa are the problem; even Egypt is almost entirely dependent on the Nile.

How much land are you claiming? Mali + Burkina Faso + Senegal isn't a lot of space, which is why I was willing to give that up, but now it sounds like you're aiming for all of sub-Saharan Africa.

Well, to be precise, it's Mali + Burkina Faso + Senegal + the Gambia. But that's predicated on not being surrounded on both sides. Would you envelope me, like Spain does to Portugal?

Most likely. I was going as far south as the Congo Basin.

For those who don't participate in the MMW thread, Corda's suggested that the region name should be Terra Firma, aka Hard Earth, aka Hard MT.

All in favour?

Don't even know if I am excepted but I vote "Aye." Also since no one is objecting I am outlining my claim to Western US/Canada. (Think California, Oregon, Washington, parts of Nevada and British Columbia)

Aye

Now, I may be stepping out of line, but here is an idea from a Latin translation:

Confragosum

Means: "rough place" in Latin.

If not, "Aye"
NSWiki/Factbook:
http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Leorudo

Political Compass: Nelson Mandela.
Literally. An exact match on the graph.

Any ideas for a better signature?

IIRC, Corda wanted a full United States to play the anchoring NACO superpower. No one's taken it yet, but that was the proposition.

I could but that would be secondary to what I would like to claim. Either the above or Kamchatka + Magadan + Khabarovsk (think Eastern USSR/Russia), would be what I really wanted.

This is about the extent of what I would want. Region down to and including Georgia (I couldn't tell on the map...), land `~80KM east of Real World Moscow, all over to Russias eastern European border, and up to the coast.

Due to the fact that I'd never be eligable to join NACO, due primarily to that entire "they invaded me" fiasco, and given that we aren't exactly up for another confrontation with the Imperialist Western Pigs at the moment, I"d certainly not be willing to join the Warsaw Pact equivaliant either. This leaves me without a group, if your nation is also left without a group for similar reasons or if only due to the fact that you'd rather not become a pawn of the Great Powers and would like to avoid their Imperialist Agendas, perhaps you'd be interested in a coalition of non-alligned states, or a "Third Path," similar to what we saw in Bandung. It would be primarily weaker nations who are uninterested in being forced around by those greater than ourselves avoidng the Cold War, playing both sides, and trading with eachother.

Okay I've decided I'm going to have Page as a NACO observer since the post Civil War era (starting around 2003), and perhaps imminently close to joining the alliance. And the potential drama around the decision will have all sorts of RP ramifications.
