Empty Map, if needed.
To get a spot on this Earth Map (AU), you must be a citizen of the Yuno region (or permanent resident, which means having a nation in the region.) (EXCEPTIONS: If you actually plan to roleplay-- as in, making a RP post per month-- or a monthly post/update about about what's happening within your nation-- then you do NOT need to be a resident of the Yuno region. Just apply!!)
You must also POST HERE, with the following information:
1- Your Country Name (It may MATCH your NS nation name, but it's not required to be the same. For example, my NS nation names are Mommy Yuno or Queen Yuno, which are unrealistic as RP Country names. So my RP country name can be "The Yuno Empire" or just "Yuno" or "New York Yuno".)
2- Your Region Name (does not have to be Yuno as long as you make a monthly RP post.)
3- Colour or color code you'd like on the map (optional)
4- Description/location of the provinces you'd like. (Please use a SCREENSHOT/picture CIRCLING the area you want to claim! BECAUSE, if you ONLY describe it, I will give you too little land or get it wrong due to being bad at geography.) Normal applicants get only 1 province(a province is the white color inside every enclosed black-line border) OR 1-square (consisting of MULTIPLE provinces); whichever is bigger. AND you can get an additional 1 province, at the start of each month; IF you remember to come back to this thread to apply for your monthly expansion. HOWEVER, if you are among the FIRST 50 applicants, you get to choose between 1 province or 2-squares worth of provinces, read below for more info.
5- NAME of the City you'd like as your capital. (Feel free to mark the location in your Screenshot if you want it marked on the map; however I recommend you having a separate image of your country [in expanded size] within your own factbook- this way you can fill in MORE details- like adding in 30 more cities- that I can't fit in the MAIN map.)
6- Link to a factbook you might have (optional) -- (However, in the future we may have a competition for who has the best Factbook in order to get people to develop their nations. The winner and follow-ups could be rewarded with more provinces to claim as their own. So I recommend creating your NS factbooks for your gameside nation!)
7- Discord Name: (Don't include the Tag# for privacy reasons, just say the name. For example I'd put "Yuno" without the #1234 from Yuno#1234 for example.)
SPECIAL BONUS FOR THE FIRST 50 APPLICANTS (that means YOU as of now):
Instead of choosing 1 province or 1-square, you are allowed to choose 2-SQUARES worth of land. The catch, as per usual, is that afterwards you will still have to expand by 1 province per month, like everyone else. You just get a head start because I am giving a bonus to the first-come-first-serve applicants.

Disclaimer: The ONLY way to expand your land, is by the monthly expansion request. For that reason, this RP universe is PERFECTLY FINE with random WAR DECLARATIONS and attacks, and overpowered countries with "unrealistic militaries" or "too many frigates and ships" -- That's because even if you RP an invasion of a country with 0 military, in the end, that country doesn't lose their land and you don't gain any land, you have to OOC do the monthly expansion to change your borders.
