He is?

Step right up and pick a shit hole.
Your Choices are the Pale Country Bordering Me, the Green countries bordering myself and Raj, the dark green very large country to the East of Siege, the delta, one of Coiler's neighbours, or the pinkish one bordering the lakes, I think.

Minor note for the "Fourth" continent the working idea, and myself Rouge et al are refining it, is that it would look vaguely like North America with myslef and Rouge splitting the majority of the territory (the actual landmass would be noticeably smaller than the actual North America) and everyone else taking small chunks (I believe the working theory has Steve with Florida and the gulf coast). So neither myself nor Rouge will have maps like last time nor will we be islands but rather the largest players on a continent detached from everyone else expect for a few smaller nations.

No I’m on the old continent; the new continent is too small and I never wanted to actually boarder Shepistan, I was hoping it would be a big place and an NPC nation and some player states would go between us.
Oh no.
How "Old Continent" do you want to be? Would Japistan be "on the other side" of the Old Continent, sort of like how Asia is the other half of the Eurasian landmass?
Like, with Stas' "Russia" connecting the Old Continent's "Europe" to Japistan + Khitan + etc's "Asia"?
Maybe we can have a bunch of NPC nations between us, and we could all go like "proxy states!" "Eastern Europe! "missile defense shield!" "FUN expansion!" "Co-Prosperity Sphere" and have all sorts of dickery exchanged between the FUN alliance and the Japistan imperium, plus its allies.
History with Japistan would be fun. Marco Shroomo discovers the Silk Road, and ventures into the wonderous Orient! The sights of Japistan! Silk and porcelain... and opium!
Today, the Silk Road shall be where Japistan shall trade its opium for mail-order whores from the former Shadow Empire.
Much FUN is had by all!
EDIT:
If Old Continent + Japanistan/etc. = Eurasia...
Then maybe Shepistan + Old Dominion can be... like India and Pakistan... BUT IN AUSTRALIA! A continent/landmass to itself, but divided between Shep and Lonestar.
Maybe we can put a South East Asian archipelago chain between the Old Continent Eurasian landmass and Shep/Loinstar's IndiAustraliaStan.
Don't we have a bunch of Duchies going for small island nations as well?
EDIT:
If no one likes to envision the Shepistan/Old Dominion DMZ as a wasted arid wasteland, with minefields and dingos and emus, then maybe Shep and Loiny's land could be like...
An Evil Greenland.

Wilkonia OOB is up if anybody cares and Beo my apologies I forgot. Marius you may be able to snatch up Alaska as I don't think anyone else has claimed that but I don't want to say that definatively until everybody else who jumped on the continent first gets to declare. Right now myself Rouge and Beowulf still have to dice up the majority of the territory (2 million km^2 roughly) with Steve and Yenchin taking chunks as well.

Exactly why did you bar Women from Military Service there shep? Even if you don't want them to be Footsloggers or Artillery Crews, they can operate Vehicles, Aircraft and Ships just as well as men. Is shepistan a Islamist Fundie state or something?
