Bears ArmedJul 25 2016, 05:08:41 PM1/. Why the straight-line western border that you envisage for Heklocharis? In RL straight-line national borders seem to exist only where two "powers" divided an area between themselves, or one nation has split, so what would have required Heklocharis to accept that limitation here instead of -- for example -- expanding all of the way to the western coast?
2/. Would you mind if Cagontia didn't include one particular -- and relatively small -- section of the lands that you've included within its currently-suggested borders?
The Bears were rather hoping to simplify their own northern border by picking up that triangle where the two rivers that form most of that line flow into former Keeslandic territory before merging, so that we'd have the rivers as all of that border...
(There's also an even smaller section of former Keeslandia south of a loop in one of those rivers that the Bears were hoping to acquire, but that's further east than the Cagontian claims.) [/quote]1. Heklocharis is a former colony of Hekloslogravia that originally had an indefinite southern boundary. Its other bounds were the coast (north), Cagontia (east), and an arbitrary line of longitude (W). It eventually extended its southern border to the nations below it. Also, OCC reasons are that it keeps me from taking up too much space that other new nations could potentially use and I wasn't sure what geographic features other than major rivers were in the region.
2. Sounds fine by me. I didn't quite understand why the border was off there, but I was trying not to leave this bizarre unclaimed zone.
