The Silver CitiesJun 5 2016, 08:01:01 PMMany thanks for allowing us the opportunity to claim land in the IDU map. I wish to know if I could claim the stretch of land bordering Paradica, to the south of Gnejs, as it seems that land is not assigned to a particular nation. If that land is unavailable, I would also be willing to make a claim to the unassigned stretch of land on the Eastern border of Disjunction, and on the Northern border of Enn. If either of these areas are available, please let me know.
Thank you, -V[/quote]Yes, both of those areas are available... and in fact Enn actually gave us permission to reassign his former lands (and a later version of the map, when he briefly returned to urrs, had his replacement 'Remnants of Enn' nation located somewhere else instead) so that would be possible as well.
The area next to Paradicia once belonged to a nation with an Australian [but not 'Australian desert'] theme, way back in the region's earliest days (before I first joined...), so there might be some lingering influences on the local wildlife unless you want your nation to arrive with a complete flora & fauna of its own to replace all of the former contents entirely-- but intrusions by more competitive species from the neighbouring areas might already have replaced some of it anyhows. Its western side is a bit warmer & probably wetter than one might expect due to the ['warm temperate belt'] latitude, due to the same "leakage" from another reality that lets southern & central Malabra -- on the other side of the Iapetus Ocean, as you can see -- contain a fairly large area of tropical rain-forest.
