Hi, I'm also a NationStates member and have recently moved to the Simtropolis region...

My nation is, obviously, Elytheria.

[cammo2003 20]

Well, I'm back in. I would be SimNewtonia.

[6underground 11]

welcome, welcome!

[woodb3kmaster 342]

I've just moved my original nation of Automastan (which I had let die over 2 years ago) to the region. Glad to join you all!

[UnkleS27 24]

hey guys, the United Socialist State of Kevnia and Bradia has moved to simtropolis!

[your_adress_here 11]

THE HOLY EMPIRE OF ROCHEFFER is now part of the Simtropolis region.

Linkie

The map is 2000x2000 PNG format, the scale is 1 pixel:2km

There are no names, because I plan to put in reference lines (like latitude and longitude, only not curved) and I want to have the names on top of the lines.

The islands are transferred (UCLE, Maverick, Giotizia)

Also, I'd like to request that nobody edit it until it is done.

I still have to do rivers, reference lines, boarders.

that's about it for now.

EDIT: Here's the latest: It just needs the names of your nations. I marked a few, that seemed right, or that I know. Please tell me if you don't like your placement.

Also: I would suggest that people from eastern time zones (UK, Europe, etc.) pick eastern spots, because at some point i think that we should split the region into 4-5 time zones, and that way everyone will be closer to his/her own time zone. (It isn't binding, it's just a suggestion)

The whole region totals 4000 km wide, which is about the distance from New York City to Los Angeles.

[your_adress_here 11]

Wow nice map. I don't mind where I am placed. I am in a western time zone (-5 EST), so you might want to consider that.

[simzebu 20]

You are now on.

And here is the newest version, with noted time zones and their UTC relations.

The time zone lines may be adjusted within each nation as its holder desires, though again, I'd like to get more people on before I release editing to the public.

[shasta 1]

I love the placement for my nation. A big-ass nation, centrally located, is perfect for a Texan.

[6underground 11]

I'd very much like the light blue area in the upper right hand corner of the map. It looks abit like South Wales rotated anti-clockwise by 90D. =D

[Meastro444 1]

ive decided to join simtropolis, the The Confederacy of Dutch Colonies is now part of the simtropolis region

[simzebu 20]

There are two light blue nations in the top rightish area. Are you saying the one that is to the north with the islands at the top and time zone lines to both sides, or the one to the east that has a time zone line through it?

My guess is the latter.

EDIT: Welcome, Meastro444! Do you know where you want to be on the map yet?

[UnkleS27 24]

I'd like to be the pink one next to metropolitan houston

[Rymac91 15]

I'd like to be the green one to the west of the B on the map

[canuck3360 14]

I wish you woulda given us more time to respond to keeping the Nation shape we had befor especially since the Natioin on the Old Map resembled Rorysville almost exactly as it is

I'll take the yellow chunk of Land all the way up in the Northeast for Rorysville and the Pink Chunk to the west for Marceau State

[6underground 11]

simzebu: I hope you don't kill me but:

Green lines: Major Motorways

Black lines: Major Railways

Ship: Major Docks

Plane: Major Airport

Star: Capital City

Square: Major City

Square with circle inside: Large city

Red circle: Small city or large town.

[simzebu 20]

6underground: I don't have any plans to put roadway on just yet, but I might in the future.

Rymac91: Done

UnkleS27: What was your nation's name, again?

canuck3360: I'll see if I can put the old shape in. Your spot for Rorysville is marked, but UnkleS27 beat you to your choice for Marceau State.

EDIT: Old shape for Rorysville inserted, but I had to scale it down to fit it in.

[roy_mustang 0]

Simtropolia is joining Simtropolis!

EDIT: I'll take that enormous yellow area in the top-right

[6underground 11]

simzebu: No worries, but since ive already put it on there, do you mind leaving it on there for the final, then my neighbour can hook upto me when he/she edits and inturn everyone will nation by nation. =D

[simzebu 20]

^ I'll save that copy to my HD, and then after the nations are all in we can see how it goes.

^^You lucked out, because that space just freed up!

EDIT: Here's the updated map. I think I got everyone. [linkie]

[shasta 1]

Hey, Simezbu, are the time zones still up for debate? I'm not too thrilled about having my nation split in half by a time zone. If the time zone line were moved to the eastern border of my nation (and the two nations south of me), it provides a better transition from zone to zone.

[simzebu 20]

I think the most that they should be moved is one line to either side, so I don't think moving it all the way to the boarder would be good. But moving it within the nation up to one line to either side, or moving the border, those are both possible.

[woodb3kmaster 342]

I herely claim the orange territory southeast of Metropolitan Houston for Automastan.

[simzebu 20]

Done.

[Meastro444 1]

dont know which map you mean, if you mean that map several posts up, i lay claim on the western side of the southern channel, that tip of land. it is green. (close to the brown island, the pink piece is on the other side of the channel)

Maestro444

[simzebu 20]

Yes, that's the one. And you are now in that position.

[Schnabo 0]

Could you please invite my nation, The United States of Schnabo? I've tried to move to Simtropolis by pressing the "Like what you.."-button, but it doesnt seem to work.

EDIT: Never mind, apperently it worked.
