Map of Apolyton

Mr. President · January 15, 2003, 23:14

Do we need / want one? It might help the role-playing aspect, if we know where countries are. If you think we need one, then everyone who wants to be on the map can give me the name of their country and I can try and throw one together. I was making one of my own country a little earlier, and it's a little bare as yet.

Eternal Cold is on the northern edge of the Apolyton Mainland. Remember to include that other map (Aahz's)

edit: this one

Drogue · January 16, 2003, 13:47

Akiria is a large island (we have 209 Million people at the moment), just off the northern coast of Akiria, where it is cool. Although quite a way from CFC, we are close to most of Akiria.

In the Spanish Fforum we have our own region, Hispanica, it has more or less 12 nations, we are also planning to make a map of it.
Once it is done, we ll let you know.
I suppose Hispanica will border the Apoliton Region.

Here's a very, very rough map of Antlerkovistan (whipped up in Paint):

General Ludd · January 16, 2003, 21:40

Mr. President is going to have the worlds hardest jigsaw puzzle to put together.

GeneralTacticus · January 16, 2003, 21:46

Not necessarily. He's going to be the one making most of the pieces, after all.

General Ludd · January 16, 2003, 22:02

Well, if you add Ubinia. My only request is that it is coastal, with a river meeting the sea.

Mr. President · January 16, 2003, 23:27

Here's what I have done so far, showing the nations presented to me as of my last post in this thread. I'll start on the other ones today or tomorrow.

This might actually work, provided I don't get requests for all one-hundred odd nations.

Since the Apolyton region is arbitrarily large, I might spread it over more than one map file for ease of attachment and handling.

Comments, questions, death threats welcome.

Mr. President · January 16, 2003, 23:28

I apologize for the low quality of the picture. I made it in Paint, which seems to like to create BMP files, but ordered it to save the map as JPEG, which screwed up the color and added some interference.

Urban Ranger · January 16, 2003, 23:29

The Dominion of Noosland. Some sketchy details:

- Southern part is subtropical climate, northern part is temperate.

- Lots of little islands dot our coasts, with island chains stretch all the way to the tropical regions. The southern ones are coral reefs.

- An imposing mountain range guards our northern border.

- The glaciers of the mountain range melt to form the biggest river in Noosland, River Noos, which runs north-south. It has a large number of tributaries. The southern part of the Noos is a large delta with a significant swamp area.

- A large desert, Fouyuanpuan, occupies our western parts.

- Another river runs from the mountains to the desert, ending up in an impressive salt water lake, Lake Gubin.

- Several large bays line our eastern shores.

- The largest city along the eastern shores, New Xianxiu, is a large port.

- The capital is Noosphere.

Will add more later. Maybe

GeneralTacticus · January 16, 2003, 23:32

Mr. Prez? I beleive Alecrast is supposed to be a bit further away from Sheepsta than that, according to Archaic.

Mr. President · January 16, 2003, 23:35

I'll fix it.

Edit: Is it okay other than that?

GeneralTacticus,

Your avatar looks a lot like the flag of House Steiner in Battletech.

Well, that's odd, because I've never even heard of Battletech. It's actually derived from the symbol of the Imperial Fists in Warhammer 40 000.
