This is what I suggested to Oerstland:

I see that you've registered on our regional forum, but haven't yet posted in the Map Discussion thread: That's at http://s10.zetaboards.com/IDU/topic/7548155/1/ , and you can find an old copy of the map at https://app.box.com/shared/fqplfsbso0 although unfortunately it?s a few years out of date? Lands assigned to nations that no longer exist have mostly been freed-up for new owners, as described in the thread.
The place that I?d suggest for your nation, given that you wanted some arctic [or at least sub-arctic] land if possible, is within the former nations ? situated just north of Bears Armed?s main section ? that?s labelled Keeslandia. The climate there should be cool-temperate on the basis of its latitude, but the previous owner described it as cold enough to have polar bears along its coast: It?s been decided that there?s a cold climate flowing southwards into the ?Alyeskan Sea?, and probably a mountain range separating that section of coast from the milder areas along the Bears? border.
Some parts of [what was] Keeslaandia have already been claimed: There are two nations west of the major river that flows north from close to the Bears? lands into the sea, the Bears? frontier has been pushed slightly further north to incorporate the triangle of land where the old line cut across between that river?s two main sources and also to bring the boundary up to one of those source-rivers a little bit further east from the triangle where there was previously a tiny extension of Keeslandic territory south of the river, and at least part of the north-eastern peninsula is also taken (probably with an extension south-westwards to & along the border of [the former nation of] Antrium, parts of whose northern provinces might end up in the same new nation as that), but everything in between ? an area roughly the same size as the lands west of the river ? is available for you. Adding some parts of Amidonia or Frontenax [or even of both!] should probably be possible, too, if you want.
