For the most part, this looks fine, and there's nothing wrong with your stats from my POV. However, there are a couple of issues:

- Your nation's largest ethnicity is white, but it's located in the Turkic/Indo-Iranian area of the ethnic map.
- There's no RP example. This can, however, be supplemented by writing up one right now, if you'd like. If you desire a prompt, I can give one to you.

My only issue with this is that your proposed plot would make your entire nation ethnolinguistically Finnish, which I'm not sure is something you're fine with. Otherwise it looks great.

Also, Luey has informed me that you and Atka have claimed the same plot around the same time, so we're not really sure how to settle this.

we're likely going to settle it based on who is more willing to be ethnolinguistically finnish (or alternatively: estonian, karelian, lithuanian, latvian), or if either of you want to go elsewhere. If both of you are willing to be one of the ethnicities then we will have to work out an alternative solution, such as possibly splitting the area between the two of you.

Well then, anyhow I have decided to change my map claim for immidiate compromise. (to avoid naked oil wrestling) And it was only now when I noticed the ethnicity map in this thread's OP post.

Therefore Atka can have it without unnecessary challenge since he made his claim first. And so here it is.

Alright, so, considering that area is generally Nordic, are you alright with being some kind of Nordic ethnicity?
