Mapmaker, mapmaker, make me a map...

Derikunian mapmakers are uniting in an effort to create a complete map of the Dominion, to contain nations, major cities, etc., to make it easier to figure out where on earth all this crisis stuff is taking place. So... first our mapmakers must figure out where everything is.

If you have some specific image of what your country is like --where it is located, what other countries it borders, its climate, or anything else of some importance-- please post this information in reply to this message (or telegram Deriku) and it shall be incorperated into the map as soon as possible. If you honestly don't care about what your country is like or where it ends up, tell me and I'll... put you where there's space.

And if you don't tell me anything, I might just be forced to give you a 5-square-foot, heart-shaped island in the middle of nowhere. Bwa.

The HEO is located north-east of the PRRP, with a healthy territory called Shillelagh by some, New Crimea by others, and the Disputed Territories by still others, in between the two.

HEO is a fairly large region. The western third is heavily forested up until a mountain range after which the entire area is composed of varying degrees of desert.

La Nubia is an archipelago nation, with populations on the seven largest islands and territory claimed on the over a hundred smaller islands surrounding the area. It is situated in such a way as to remain distant from the main continent and yet still hold a strong grip on all trade within the Dominion.

Slight error. HEO is located to the north-WEST of the PRRP, not the north-east. Sorry.

Toukyou-3 is a fairly small island nation with a temperate climate and lush green deciduous forests. And melons. Toukyou-3 is located towards the east of the map, north of the equator.

To the north of the PRRP, sharing a border with the HEO is the ASFE. To the northeast of the PRRP is the PCAA. I'd like to have a large water body to the south.

The PRRP itself has 3 distinct regions. In the center is the capital of Revolutsiagrad and a heavily urban, industrialized region. To the West is an agricultural region with lush plains and to the East is a hilly, mountainous region. All borders, especially those with the HEO, are heavily militarized.

The ASFE applauds you for this fabulous idea. The following is detailed information about our nation:

The ASFE shares borders with HEO, PRRP, PCAA, and any other nation that is convienient for the map-maker in production of the map. The ASFE is a very large nation, consisting mostly of a series of highly-industrialized cities or towns, of varying sizes. The agricultural space within the ASFE is at a minimum, but it does exist.

Politically, if you plan on adding such information, the capital of the ASFE is Bonpartaine, named after our assassinated First Citizen. There are 5 political districts (one being the capital city), each with an provincial capital city (names can be provided if necessary).

Topographically, the ASFE is mostly flat, with little-or-no forests. The North of the ASFE is a very mountainous region, where the major cities are also mining centers. Many large rivers flow south from the mountains, one forming our border with the HEO and others crossing into the PRRP.

We hope this information is sufficient; we can provide you with more if necessary. Please let us know if there is any way we can assist you in this project.

You may also wish to include a wall down the center of New Crimea passing through its capital of New Berlin.

The Dominion of the Dread Pirates is a Japan-ish sized chain of islands that happens to form the shape of a skull when you look at them all together. Climatically the islands are similar to the Caribbean, although with some rainforest/ jungley stuff and some dryer parts. A few islands have large hills or mountains. The general location is in the southern eastern or western corner of the map, relatively not near anyone else.

The capital city, on a random island, is called Puerto Pollo. Our place-namers have been shot.

The main city of the agricultural region is Kirovgrad and the main city of the mountainous region is Polyegrad.

The desert, to the east, is named the Emerald Desert and has a densely-populated city named Shamrock located on an oasis. The capital of Oakton, located in the forested, western side and sharing a side with the mountains, is New Dublin.

Two rivers flow down from the mountains. One flows through the western forests before cutting southward towards the nearest large body of water (called the Gaelic River). The other, the Limerick River, meanders through the desert and is the only water source in the Emerald Desert.

Shillelagh is home to thick decidous forest and hills. The most populous city there is St. Patricksburg, located to the north of the region. Patrick's Wall forms the eastern border of Shillelagh while the Limerick River forms the southern border.

Czestocowa lies in the northwestern portion of the Dominion, sharing borders with HEO and ASFE (if they don't mind). The nation is entirely mountainous and densely forested. The capital city of Jasna Gora is in the southeastern portion of the country.
