SDN World 3 Country Claiming

[Mr Bean]

I don't like the idea of adding extra land somewhere. If you want extra land seems the best way is to take it away in true 19th century realpolitik.

[Steve]

Understandable.

Unfortunately I suspect Sorchus will soon experience such an event upon game start....

[Norseman]

Okay, here's what will probably be the final map, all claims made and acknowledged. I'm not sure about Lascaris' border in comparison to Norse's though.

It looks good to me, Lascaris might want Parana but I want a buffer zone

Would anyone object to me forming a duel monarchy of Switzerland and Afghanistan? It’d never have time to do much with it given school and all, but I think it would be amusing to combine the two reclusive mountain states, and well it’d also just be good to have someone playing those countries since they are rather critical terrain. As in its good if people can’t just invade them without thinking. Also I like forts, and I'd rather maintain an impartial position with regards to the conduct of naval warfare if I participate at all.

I wouldn't mind you holding fort in that corner of the world actually...

Hi there, neighbour.


As for adding land mass - as has been proposed - wouldn't that rather destroy the whole indonesia =strategic location idea?

[Steve]

How would it? And it was just a light idea anyway.

Skimmer, my brain would rather see you run those two countries separately on my behalf as mod. A unified Switzerland and Afghanistan just completely shatters my suspension of disbelief in this game.

Throw in Siam too! Then claim that the Siamese conquered the other two

Keep it up and I switch you and Demetrios on the map......

It’s basically a way to introduce a basic standard of industry to Afghanistan, and Islamic hill tribes to the Alps. I don’t see it as much more outlandish then some of the other countries being created across dramatically different ethnic lines. I’d have little run and yet more overhead handling them separately so I won’t be doing that. I guess I could just take Siam instead. In that case you shall meet my 60,000 ton coastal defence ship.

[Steve]

Honestly I would prefer a Siam player. So that's cool.

......60,000t coastal defense ship, hrm? Why am I suddenly very, very afraid?

[Sea Skimmer]

Because the shells weigh almost two tons and go 50,000 yards?

[Siege]

I'd love to see a Switzerland-Afghanistan dual monarchy. I've no idea how such a nation would be played, but I bet it'll be hilarious .

[Norade]

Looking at the map it looks like Guinea-Bissau is in Portuguese Green, I never claimed it, but will keep it if it's mine.

[Lascaris]

And points oh points

Republica Federal Cisplatina

Population: 2
Home territory: 2 (377095 square km consisting of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina provinces)
Colonies: 0
Industry: 3
Economy: 3
Infranstracture: 4
Standing Military: 3
Naval focus 3 (2 +1 from industry)
Army Focus: 5
Air Focus: 5

[Norseman]

Cisplatina could always claim that part of its population is made up by Brazilian refugees from the Civil War.

[Steve]

Go ahead and put that in population so you can have 50-75M, Las. I'm not enforcing strict historical populations.

[Thanas]

Steve, please check your PMs.

[Agent Sorchus]

Because of the unfortunate timing of my claim in Queensland I am happy to give up all but 300,000 square Kilometers of Queensland as part of the treaty between Steve and Beowolf. Perhaps as a barrier between Steve's claim and Beowulf's?

Note I already modified my points claim.

I only care for Queensland west of the 141st Meridian. The rest is between you and Beo.

North east of 20S 138W, is what I suggest you claim.

Agreed, and with your permission so it shall be.

Err... sorry, that should be 138E, not west.

So Cape York Peninsula down to south of Townsville. Sounds good to me.

[Akhlut]

I don't know if it's too late, but I looked at the last map and Mongolia appears to be unclaimed. Would it be a problem to claim it at this point if that were true?
