Craxx Archipelago [Open|Colonial|Sign up|MT|OOC]

[Drifterica]

With the Cossack People’s and UWOs permission I’d like to make a post in the Dreadfort Island, with us taking a stance on the conflict due to the proximity of the conflict to Drifterica.

[Cossack Peoples]

Go right ahead.

Colony Application
Full Nation Name: The People’s Republic of Arstotzka
Colony Name: Volksprotektorat Zentralcraxx
Capital City: Fort Vogt
Capital Features:
Port [ X ] Fortress/Military Base [ X ] Wall/Stockade [ X ] Trade Hub [ X ] Religious Centre [ ]
Population (Up to 1.5 mil): 180,000 (80,000 military personnel, 100,000 civilians)
Location: The whole island at 0, 30E (the one with 3 nature energy deposits)
Size (Up to 30kmi²):Aiming for about 4-5 hexs, adjust borders as needed.
Town Names:
Outpost Zeta: Setup on the southern tip of the island, the Outpost is used by the People's Intelligence Service to monitor developments in the region.
Klanta: Once a minor Craxxian city, the area has been rebuilt into the largest civilian centers on the island.
Specific Requests: N/A.

Description of your claim:
During the collapse of the Craxxian Empire, and the nuclear exchange that followed, various Communist rebel cells, small in size, were supported by the People’s Republic. Under the previous Chairman, these cells were given minor support and supplies in exchange for intel on the Empire, and other various developments within the region. The People’s Revolutionary Front, a larger Communist cell within the occupied territories of the Craxxian Empire, reported several notable military and government points of interest throughout the region.

As the stability in the region fell into Anarchy, and the conflict continued to worsen, the PRE reached out for additional support. Now under the rule of Chairman Wolfgang Otto Ziegler, the Craxx Island Archipelago was given greater concern. With the constant expanding influence of the Fascists and Capitalists, Ziegler deemed it vital to create a presence in the region. Besides the abundance of natural resources that would be vital to support the growing Communist struggles throughout the Multiverse, the Chairman was interested in unearthing Craxxian secrets.

Advised by the military strategists to occupy the island that was north of Kernig Isles, this location provided a strategic base within the center of the region, and ample energy reserves for the coming conflict.

Lamoni and Holy Marsh claims added and the map has been updated!

EDIT:

@Arjunnagar... I'm gunna need a lot more than that. An island, a grid reference as well as a brief description. Also the capital features lists are...strange - in any case it needs to have some or none of those functions for the map to generate a symbol.


@Everyone: I think I have updated the claims, roads and land grabs correctly. Please shout out if I have missed anything.


EDIT 2:

Biome colour key added in the maps section. Biomes are not set in stone, so if you want to be on a glacier then just so. No idea how that works, but I'm not geologist or meteorologist so go nuts!

Previews have also been added to all active side threads.

It seems you have Lamoni some of my territory O.o

Don't sweat it, I'm sure you have more interesting things to do than a keeping track of an RP map

[Ignore all of this, I answered my question lol.]

[The Qoryx]

Just for anyone reading my latest news post who's confused - Condition W is like "ever-vigilant", Condition E is like "extra-vigilant, active preparation" and Condition S is like "Emergency Situation". So there's no confusion when reading lol.

Wasn't trying to take any of your land!

[The Democratic Republic of Nytoa]

OOC: DO you need to make a map

OOC: DO you need to make a map

This is all OOC don't worry

Have a read of the opening post, there's a bunch of maps and if you want to you can make a claim with a map, or you can just give longitude and latitude coordinates using the provided map to describe whereabouts your claim will be.

[Stevid]

The map has been updated to Version 1.8! So has the .map file.

Changelog:

1. The injustices I have wrought against Countesia come to end! With the original expansion north and east added once more!

2. Canal added between Retrin Bay and Styx Bay in Countesia.

3. Imperial Unity expansion northwards included.

4. FCRP expansion and roads added.

5. European Federation Reunified Expansion 'provisionally' updated. I say provisionally only in the sense that I've zero problem with you gobbling up all that land but there are a lot of resources there. I'll update the expansion again to include the rest of your expansion claim in a few more versions. But I curtailed it a bit just in case new players want in and like the look of the resources. Truth be told, if no one new takes it in a few days I'll give you the lot! ....say... UWO looks awful close to you now...

6. Reference the News and Happenings threads, roads have been added between Pix, Lapsil and North Alacia.

If I have missed anything, accidently deleted Countesia (I kid ), or you what something else adding, please holla!

Bump. Just in case if this was missed. If you are still working on approving it, no worries!

One small thing, could you add the southern oil field to my territory, I forgot to put that in my last post and edited it in.

Ah, I didn't think "it was too much". Obviously, I will await your green light. In the meantime, I still have to fix some things in my colony via RP.

[Free Kolechia]

Colony Application
Full Nation Name: The Republic of Kolechia
Colony Name: Novogorizont (Will officially be called Novogorizont Province)
Capital City: Novoaxaman
Capital Features:
Port [ x ] Fortress/Military Base [ x ] Wall/Stockade [ ] Trade Hub [x ] Religious Centre [ x ]
Population (Up to 1.5 mil): Still being determined
Location: North-East of Mokastana Colony?
Size (Up to 30kmi²): I don't want it to be small, but would prefer it smaller than Mokastana's colony.
Town Names:
1) Derstankala
2) Bazhnovo
Specific Requests: Would prefer not to have ocean on both sides of colony



Description of your claim:
(What is it like? Why has your nation come here? What do you want to gain?)

Novogorizont (New Horizon) province is the newest province in the Republic. It was not politically won easily though, there was a fierce debate within the government as Kolechia generally lacks an imperialistic reputation or history. It also comes after Kolechia established a military and economic outpost in the former Belhorizon colony of New Imperiosa in Greater Dienstad, though in that case, Kolechia (nor Mokostana) never annexed the land, though it became a puppet of the two. The new base in New Imperiosa was to serve a dual purpose, as an easy gateway to the ocean, and a line of defense for landlocked Kolechia. Novogorizont would in turn serve more of an economic purpose, exporting extra resources back to Kolechia.

Politically, this (and the events in New Imperiosa) will cement President Safadi's legacy (good or bad) and will see a return of nationalism among the people (for a time) though his successors on both sides of the aisle will probably halt any more expansion for some time to come, as they don't wish to spread out their military forces (and pay the costs for it) any more than they have, and believe any and all threats, are much closer to home.

The provincial capital is Novoaxaman, named after the nearby mountains. There are two other "minor cities" as they are classified in official language. Much of the population that first arrived (and possibly remained) were or are workers who came to help specifically build and establish the main and common industries. After the first initial wave of workers arrived, there was another wave of people who weren't connected to any industries, but instead looking for new opportunities. There are no numerically substantial groups of Kolechian minorities arriving, and for a number of reasons, leaving the vast majority of newcomers as Kolechian. Religiously the cities will be some of the first to have both Mosque and Church visible, though there is no current religious tension within Kolechian society. Assuming one isn't totally impoverished, part of the wave of people coming are also pushed by some government incentives.

I think that area is already claimed by Brutalist Arstotzka here. It just hasn't been updated yet. If you're looking for a spot with similar resource, the area northwest of the USEFR is similar.

Next map addition, can you make a road between Langley and Hamilton? It does exist, its just windy AF but quite heavily trafficked

Full Nation Name: The Federation of Nova Catania
Colony Name: Little Catan
Capital City: Port Lewis
Capital Features:
Port [ X ]     Fortress/Military Base [ X ]     Wall/Stockade [  ]     Trade Hub [ X ]     Religious Centre [  ]

Specific Requests: N/A



Description of your claim:
(What is it like? Why has your nation come here? What do you want to gain?)
It was apparently some kind of nature preserve/research area before the Craxx Empire fell. The colony was established to expand Catanian interests and find a suitable place to market to tourists, as well as be strategically advantageous for military purposes. The colony includes two small towns of about 4,000 settlers each. Port Lewis is the capital and main port and Realton is inland along a small river, just south of a lake.

Location: Southern Stanter Isles

Also, I would recommend reviewing the current map (found here), as this location claim has already been occupied by another nation for some time. Perhaps the far West of Retrinhes?
