[NationStates] I'm building us a planet

Updated Capitals Map:

Change Log:
> Removed Mt Harulth.
> Suggested location for Athonis changed.
> Yauco confirmed.
> Kyandall confirmed.
> Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Observant observers will notice that I've also gone ahead and edited the borders, as I said I was considering doing. These new borders are not confirmed, but I wanted to give everyone a more visual idea of what I had in mind. I still have files of the old map, so there's no issue in changing the borders back to how they were. Let me know what your opinions of the changes are!

@CthulhuPeople

You can see the changes by comparing these Before and After Maps:

> Natrizima/northwest territory (blue) border adjusted to follow the hills line. 1 hex removed from Natrizima; 1 hex added to northwest territory (blue).

So who is up in the north with me now? It used to be me and Senturia, but now it looks like its Legisa, Upresh, and some third nation.

Edit: Just read the previous posts. I'm totally fine with all the changes, but still curious as to who my new neighbours are.

I was fairly sure the council building was off the coast of Mechanica Rationalis in the same style as the UN building is off of America. I thought I'd read this somewhere, anybody else remember this?

As much as I'd like that, the location of the building has always been rather nebulous. It's in a large city hosting several embassies, but isn't on the map itself as of yet.

If we're going to settle where it is, we have to establish criteria like the IRL one has:

- Host not ideologically radical
- Host developed enough for first-world level cities & infrastructure
- Host politically neutral to prevent conflict of interest
- Host is majority accepted

That kicks nations like Corvermell, God Send, and the entire Arcturix Commonwealth out of the running. Variously too primitive, too radical, and not politically neutral.

That also kicks Mechanica, because if it was in Mechanica, the Commonwealth Union of Protectorates (C.U.P), (not the ''arcturix'' commonwealth) would not show up in almost it's entirety.

I'd suggest Sincronia.

In short, we don't really know.

The territory that used to be Senturia will be split into two new territories that will be filled by new nations as they come along. Roxilia, for example, appears interesting in joining the RP, so Roxilia will more than likely fill one of those two new territories up north.

@CthulhuPeople
With Legisa's agreement to the new changes, I feel fairly confident in making the changes canon. I'll wait until Friday to make them official to give time for Upresh to give its two cents worth, but after reviewing Upresh's forum thread, I don't see any need for a rewrite on anything; in fact, the news story makes better sense in Upresh's new location.

@Patroklos Alexander
Start considering which territory you'd like to claim up north, blue or red! Legisa is the purple to the west, Cyclophoa is the black to the north, Natrizima is the orange to the east, and Upresh will be the yellow to the south, to give you an idea of who your neighbors might be.

Sincronia would be honored to host the council!

As for a more specific location, as in which city within Sincronia, would people prefer a large, commercial city, such as those along the Serpentine Strait, or a smaller, easily defendable city, such as the capital, Aeterna?

Corvermell can into space? I'd love to see that reaction!

Space is out of the question. None of the reps are astronauts and it's prohibitively expensive to stage launches. The elevator will fix that but that's Mechanica tech, which the Arcturix Care Bears might not like.

IMO an easily accessible, probably coastline city, one that's perhaps less... ''countryside-y''? xD
