Motion to accept this as the standardized map description and end any further requirements of the Map Reform Act.

" The Western Isles, like many regions, exists in its own separate reality or plane of existence in order for members to reconcile their own histories with each other. We are Earth-based humans with Earth weapons and Earth culture, although we do not exist on the map of Earth itself. Although Earth's countries exist in our reality, we do not typically interact with them nor do they interact with us; we almost exclusively interact with only the nations in our region.

The Western Isles is very roughly 7000 miles long and 4000 miles wide (10 km by 10 km per pixel). We exist in a northern hemisphere, with the nations at the north typically experiencing colder climates and the nations at the south typically experiencing equatorial climates. If it helps, you can picture our map as being the area between Japan, the western American coast, the Aleutian islands, and Hawaii, although we do not actually exist in that realm. Nations are given free reign to decide their inner geography, so long as it does not bend too deep into unrealistic territory. Similarly, nations may decide their own resources or lack thereof, so long as it is kept reasonable and realistic. We are modern time, specifically current time, meaning that the real-life calendar day is the same as our role-play day. "

For me, that is still not wide enough. If we are in our own plane of existence can we go a little big more and add more islands for new nations? We are running out. Maybe add a big island, but half the size of argus.

Yea sorry for being inactive, I have been busy rp'ing and fooling around.

by **Vancouvia** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 9:13 pm

Post this on the map thread. Make your opinion known, because as it stood no one posted in disagreement to that statement and then a period of inactivity followed.

by **Havenburgh** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 3:59 am

Alright. Sorry for being a newb but link please. I havent been real active in regional affairs, but that shall change
