Rosa, I think you and I are kind of stuck in Aperin (geographically) although I may at some point in the future consider a mass migration, the like of which humankind has never before witnessed. aww, you should really stay there. s&v fits in quite nicely with the rest of the southern end of the aperin subcontinent - its anarchists as far as the eye can see down there. |

Walter and Theodor can go on a map. Some Ocean going access is essential but its ine if that happens through a major river - perhaps even through someone else land. Otherwise whereever someone wants to put us is fine.
I guess we will call the capital Arcadia. That should be on water.
Thanks.
W&T

Hi, im quite new to the whole nationstates thingy, Im´representing the freedom and nature loving peoples of the rather fresh Anarchistic Federation of Nature´s Revenge. As S&V has made such fine maps for other nations, i was wondering wether he/she would consider making one for me?
As the name implies, Nature´s Revenge is a rather hardline environmentalist federation. And thus i would like "lush forests", "pristine mountains", rugged wild terrain in other words. If you accept this burden for me, i´ll leave it up to your good judgment wether we should live on a larger island, an archipelago (wich i notice you don´t have yet), or with others on a landmass.
I don´t think Nature´s Revenge really has any large cities, industries are scarce and roads are NONEXISTENT!! (we do public transportation underground) As mentioned above i would like some mountains, lot of trees (i just loooove trees!!!!) and preferably a river or two. The shape and size is up to you, but as most of the land will be protected in reserves. we do need a bit of space..
Hope you will help me! (PS. S&W, thats from the Chicago haymarket debackle, right?)

As for S&V, our twin islands are already in the continent of Aperin and if you believe in geography (as I do) I can't just shift them. However, at some point in the future our 2 billion population may migrate to the Anarcho Communist Alliance map if there is one and if the right spot becomes available. Since a few of us are already in Aperin or, in CP's case, Alcaera (another continent made up largely of former colonies of Aperin nations), might it be a good idea to see if we can add a continent or two to that world? There's certainly room, and it would allow for interaction with nations that don't all share our libertarian views, which could make things more interesting. |

Walter and Theodor - are you a candidate for a mega-flatlands next to Wyrm? I have to grow Wyrm a little but there's a broad sweep down from the mountains and through Wyrm's forest to an extensive plain (silt or alluvial?) with lots of rivers and lakes (I could add in a canal system). The south is dominated by a huge sandbar. Along the east coast there's a line of low hills and just offshore (to the east of the sandbar) lots of little islands. Let me know if you're interested. (You could be the wheat basket of the continent). If not, I'll draw you up somewhere to your own specifications.
Nature's Revenge - welcome, I'm happy to put you on the list, I like the description and I'd love to have a go at an archipelago. I'll draft something up for you to look over. (It'll be a couple of weeks though, I'm up to my ears in proper work at the moment).
Sacco and Vanzetti weren't part of the Haymarket Massacre, they were tried, convicted and executed on a trumped up robbery charge.
Clapton Pond - if we go for a continent, I'd be happy for us to be part of a larger world. (S&V don't have the tech for a space/timewarp machine, so if we did migrate to ACA, we could only do it by sea anyway)
Sorry all, I may be a little slower on the production front for a while, life just got really busy but it will settle down soon. (I hope)

S&V,
That would be fine - and no rush - it will be a while before I can do much with it due to time constraints. Canals are good! Bread basket we are!
I am starting to think we might need to work out some treaty with the ACA - are you all in it? I thought it was just a parking space for the CACE minions.

The alliance is an alliance in it's own right. AIM for one has never been part of CACE, that's for sure. And I certainly do not see ACA as a 'parking space' for 'minions', because little or large size does not matter in a alliance that is equal. S & V, no worries, I'm a bit busy myself nowadays! |

The other half of Bread & Honey is still in the other ACA (or will be, once I get it set up in nationstates - i had let B&H go defunct a while ago).
But I don't see a need for a treaty - we can work together occasionally without having formal treaties.
In fact, IC, it was the question of treaties & CACE membership that broke up Bread and Honey - who exactly is empowered to sign these treaties? And how are the rest of us citizens supposed to be coerced into following them?

The general position of the communes of AIM is that ACA works better without treaties, and as alliance not based on contracts but friendship between communes within the alliance.

I am not sure if we are understanding each other - there are two different ACA's people are talking about here. Perhaps we need a way of differentiating. I just posted something elsewhere referring to the AnarchoCA. Can anyone think of something a little less stupid sounding?

How about TACA (pronounce 'tacka') for 'The Anarcho Comunist Alliance' as opposed to 'the ACA' (which is already taken by the Anticapitalist Alliance)? Or perhaps something a bit more Orwellian like 'AnCom'?
By the way Sacco & Vanzetti could I have a look at the regional map so far? I can't wait to see it when it's finished. I suppose we'll have to make sure the nations are all in proportion and at appropriate latitudes for it to be convincing. No rush though, obviously!

I haven't really been making a regional map, just sticking each one I do on to one document with a blue background, they're all out of proportion and out of position. I'll start to put it together properly and post for input on where I've gone wrong with size/location.
As I've tried to vary the design style of each individual map, I'll have to create a continental style for the regional map.

Oh! Sorry Walter and Theodor lol
I know this sounds slightly English teacher correctionist, but why is Anticapitalist Alliance not known as AA?
As they have 'capitalist' with 'anti' as one word without a capital C for capitalist, should it not be AA to recognise two words?
*taps chalkboard*
TACA sounds good, or we could be AnarchoCommAll,
tACA, or AC....

I like 'tACA' with the lower case 't', that looks quite cool.
