It was harder than it looks, unfortunately. In my case, I took an orthographic projection of NATO (since it was more or less centered on the North Atlantic) and greyed out the green portions. Then I added Vistora, which was easy enough given that it's literally shaped like a circle. As for you, I assume you are located mostly in Japan? I'd go hunting for the info myself, but your factbooks are a clusterfuck worthy of Singy.

You can see that my name is shared as one of the two that show up most in Singy's "who did i steal from" table. :p

But yeah, this is probably it (the part colored in gold). Though maybe I'd just need the Asian part.

If you want to adequately show all parts of your nation, then an orthographic illustration is pretty much impossible. If your concern is simply the Asian portion, then choose a real-life nation or subnational division located roughly in the center, and color in the rest. On the other hand, you could always have multiple orthographs for the different portions of your nation, in which case you'd still do the same. Given the breadth of your empire, however, fitting it all into a single orthographic projection simply cannot be done.

Honestly though, orthographic maps are really only useful for smaller nations. I'd say that the Mollweide projection you're using currently is the better option by far.

I wasn't sure exactly who was supposed to start the Nayba contact RP, or when, so I just went ahead and rolled up a thread.

I can make an infinitely scalable vector .svg for you, but that makes it quite a bit more complicated. On the other hand, if you provided me with access to that bird logo on the front, that would significantly extradite the process.

Maybe I should open up a flag-making service.

WHAT!? Everybody knows that Japanese and Chines are completely different basically the same. It's all a big part of the pan-Asian language consisting mostly of "Herro, I loohking foh dee noodohs." Obviously.

Singameme should be back on the 1st or 2nd, depending on how incompetent the ISP at his new place is. Then he can shower you in as much Chinese and leetspeak as you need. Just empty a big ol' bin of it over your head.

Side effects may include: Dizziness, nausea, and a sudden inability to research certain topics on the Internet. If experiencing acute Chinese nationalism, please stop taking 中文™ and talk to your doctor. Singameme Corporation® is not liable for any damages, including, but not limited to, Party membership, a sudden interest in ancient prophecies, or spontaneously becoming Mongolian.

My first sig quote, right here. More beeyotiful than my new measurements.

And yes, I fully expect all of you to use those as if they were real measurements. Because they are. Now.

No joke.

Dammit, I was going to get that, but backed off because a DTE-ton of people wanted it. I'm content with the B'kthal Dominion, though.

I don't know, but buy enlightenment of the Illuminati today!

Side Effects may include vomiting, a sudden desire to argue with rational people and constantly spout how they are all sheeple, intense rage whenever someone mentions the positives of capitalism, braking your computer screen when a blacksmith shows that the World Trade Center couldn't have possibly been destroyed by detonated explosives by bending a molten hot steel bar with his pinky finger, constantly seeing triangles everywhere, and randomly speaking in Cthulhu speak. 光明股份有限公司 created this with the assistance of Singameme Corporation, all complaints shall go to them.
