"Looks like we'll have to redraw the map again."

ColdWizard · March 28, 2003, 13:39

Since nobody else wants to draw a map, I'll make an attempt at it. Please vote for your prefence for your country's general geography.

Poll will time out in 7 days, and then I'll begin work on the map.

DarkCloud · March 28, 2003, 16:02

TYhanks for the initiative

I would perfer that Iguana Fire is on a Peninsula

ColdWizard · March 28, 2003, 16:11

somebody's got to do it

i used to enjoy making AD&D maps (way back when i had ample free time), so hopefully this won't be too much of a chore

Giovanni Wine · March 28, 2003, 17:04

I want a continent peninsula as well, and the peninsula must be bootshaped, and have some large islands to the west.

Simplier, just take a map of Italy and stick it somewhere in the map of Apolyton, and call it Kingdom of Wine

ColdWizard · March 28, 2003, 18:28

i'll try to accomodate special requests (such as the exact shape of your country), time and skill permitting, but don't get your hopes up.

GeneralTacticus · March 28, 2003, 20:07

Centralis should be on the coast of the continent with a few offshore islands.

Archaic · March 28, 2003, 20:25

Alecrast should be a group of large islands off the south coast of Centralis, in the same vein as they are currently.

Thiorn · March 28, 2003, 20:28

If you wish, ColdWizard, I would be happy to help you on your task. Although my nation is not located on Apolyton, I have made several maps already of different areas (and for AD&D matters as well, lots of them), and I find it quite a fun thing to do.
If you would like some help, of course.

Guys I remind you that the tiny region of Hispanica (from Apolyton's Spanish Forum) is near the region of Apolyton.
In the good old days we hold more thant 30 nations. Now we are living on the dark ages and most of the countries ceased to exist

Anyway we still hold 9 strong nations from the Sp Forum, which are:

The Kingdom of Sagunto (Alfonso)
The Republic of Maradonia (academia)
The Commonwealth of Latinamerican States (Master Zen)
The People's Republic of Potgentinia (ElAwrence)
The Democratic States of El Mencey (el mencey)
The Republic of BeeJay Way (Jay Bee)
The Republic of Chilean Capricornia (Chilean President)
The Republic of Estilponia (Estilpón)
The Free Republic of Ladinot (yaroslav)

Thank you, I shall certainly keep your generous offer in mind should I run into difficulties

Mr. President · March 29, 2003, 02:09

I think I'm gonna give NationStates a second chance, so you may know me as the United States of Dakmoristan. I'd like to bid for an island, please.

Giovanni Wine · March 29, 2003, 14:27

actually, why not making something like simcountry.

We draw a map with all borders and such, and than the player just select which country he want to be.

We could live some "free" countries in case the region will ever grow back to 160+

Then, once we are done with the map, I'll start working back to the website (with the help from some other people, because it is a work I can not do alone), and voilà, we will have a nice and strong NationStates community

that's exactly my intention, the poll is to give me a general idea of the island/continent ratio (and i was curious about the current activity level of the NS group

)

realpolitic · March 29, 2003, 15:45

The capitol island of Provracy is 5 square miles (including Pyramia Centralis which is 2 mi*2mi Pyramid), and we've annexed several islands.

realpolitic · March 29, 2003, 15:49

DP

Drogue · March 29, 2003, 15:51

The Commonwealth of Akiria is a single, enormous island, to the North (and slightly west if needs be) of the main continent of Apolyton. When I say enormous, I mean my population is 1039 Million today, and I do not have any large cities. Most of the population is evenly spread, with a few small cities, and a large prrotecte area in the middle, comprising of a mountain range covered in forest, with only the peaks showing. I know this is way to much info for the map, just to give you an the idea if you feel like doing any detail on any of the maps.

DarkCloud · March 29, 2003, 18:16

Akira is like the china of Apolyon

Drogue · March 29, 2003, 20:51

Possibly, except even per capita I win

Well, sometimes

red_jon · March 30, 2003, 13:17

Redfern is built on 3 small islands.

Qantrix · March 31, 2003, 10:42

The United Socialist States of Qantrix (USSQ) is located at the coast (at least i hope so) it's now a small nation of 20 Million People, the most of them live in 3 big cities (Qanama,Trion and the capital Ixionpolis)the nation is covered by forests and grasslands, it's all around sea level accept the east (the part of the nation where Qanama is in) there are a few mountains there.

Andemagne · March 31, 2003, 17:13

Sirian Knights hold one quite small (or middle sized)round island.

Giovanni Wine · March 31, 2003, 17:19

LOL

More than Apolyton Region, we should call it Apolyton Archipelago.

true. and it even rhymes better.

Sheep · March 31, 2003, 22:28

Sheepsta should be a large island off the coast near Alecrast. North and South Sheepsta are occupation zones. In the South West the indpendent nation of New Sheepsta plots the reunification of the island nation.

Odin · April 1, 2003, 00:20

The Federation of Ecotopian Republics is a large, sparsely populatled peninsula in the southernmost area of the reagion. The Coastal Lowlands have dense tropical rainforest and very high mountains in the interior. The area inland of the west coast is savanna. Most of the population lives in the savanna along the Kjornallen River, which is about the length of the Rhine River.

This is towards the East of Alecrast, and "near" should be taken as being able to fit both Alecrast and Sheepsta twice between the two.

SlowwHand · April 1, 2003, 09:54

Continent, peninsula or coast, or island.

Definitely NOT land-locked, ala Iowa or Iraq.

Jack_www · April 1, 2003, 11:58

I would Like United States of Jackson on the coast or maybe have an island. My nation has over 350 million people now, so dont give me to small of a nation on the map.

dammit Sloww, stop bein' so picky

Mr. President · April 1, 2003, 18:24

C'mon, give ColdWizard a break! I know from experience how hard it is to make these things - especially when requests get complicated.
