Hello, the South. I'm approaching you about taking a space on the map of the world that the International Democratic Union, Eastern Islands of Dharma, and North Pacific are creating. I'd like you to take the large continent to the south of the International Democratic Union, if you'd like it. It's almost entirely tropical, but could easily be RPd as having lots of high elevations that make the non-costal areas fairly cool. Bears Armed is making a claim for the tip of the northeastern peninsula, which I'm going to honor, but other than that it's open. I'd also like input from anyone who's interested in refining the coasts to make them a little more interesting, while attempting to stay within the general shape.

Some things to note: This is a spherical map, which means that what you see in the PNG is not what you're getting. The best way to see it is with the KMZ file, which you can veiw in Google Earth. However, the continent I'd like you to take is mostly near the equator, so there's fairly little distortion. I'm also working on a program that will allow me to create better projections that more accurately reflect the globe, while allowing people to view it without Google Earth.

So, what do you all think? Do you want to join?

Dude that is an awesome map!!

And yes, I'm definitely interested, and I don't see why anyone wouldn't be.

If we decide to do it, my map is in my signature.

nae sae keen oan the whole tropical thing, but Cosgravia is maest interested!

(apologies. I suddenly came over very Scottish there)

My map is in a file attached. It just show the coast, main cities, mountains and river, but I am on the map of the south, which give a better idea. I'd obviously like to be on a coastline.

I would be very interested in joining. However, Astrolinium may not be big enough to warrant placement. The island is a little under 8 miles square.

Also, I have other nations not in The South that are geopolitically intertwined with Astrolinium to the point of inseparability. Would it be possible to include them on the map? Assuming I'm looking at the right continent, here are two places (circled in red) they could go without altering the coastline too much:

Assuming the answer here is yes, here's my personal map of all of them together. Please pretend that Fabularia and Shel Sholem are not on this map.

Putting in everything would involve widening the sea between Malstiar and Aelium/Puppies/Albermarle and tilting the map towards the left, and making Aelium/Puppies/Albermarle shorter and more stout.

Sorry I took forever to get back to this. Last quarter was quite hectic for me.

First, just a general statement to everyone: When you request, please have and give me some idea of the scale of your nation, as well as its location. I can't promise being able to match exactly what you want, but knowing that will certainly help.

Also, the region Romana has inquired about joining. I'm not sure where I'll put them yet, but I'll keep you all updated.

hossaim: Is just south of Lions and Tigers and Bears, close to the mainland okay with you?

**Turttallia**: About what size is that supposed to be? And where do you want it?

(¯`·._.·.:7185514:.·._.·´¯): You can always just give me a rough outline of an area that looks nice, and I'll work it in.

*Cosgravia*: I can put you somewhat further south. About what size should that be?

Astrolinium: Given that your nation here is small, I think I can accommodate you. With that drawn map you posted, could you highlight the water on it? I can't quite make it out...

The light blue is water. The teal and red represent how Shel Sholem and Fabularia won't be appearing, and that this means Shel Sholem should be turned into water.
