Since Romania it's empty, Juclandia/Novolandia can have a place there.

I'm fairly sure he meant as a one-off.Einhorn wrote:Again, absolutely not. The time and effort to maintain two maps just because some nations don't want to be associated with non-secessionist nations just isn't going to happen, one is already quite enough. If a nation doesn't want to be associated with non-secessionist nations then having a claim on Micras isn't the best idea because we welcome all types of nations to use our one, single map. So, if they feel that they don't want to be grouped together with the other nations, then our cartography services are most likely of no use to them because we're not going to make 2 maps because they still think simulationist nations have cooties. No matter what spin or take you put on the idea to justify having two maps, we're not going to do it.Ciprian I wrote:Oh, I understood something else, which could be interesting: make a Micras map with macronations on it.

Riverstone's shape is based on Eritrea. But our politics/culture will probably be based on United States culture.
The honorable president of Riverstone.

Re: Macras?
Well, a constitutional political system, however with hopefully more political parties. We also want to be highly capitalist, maybe even more capitalist than the United States.Einhorn wrote:I can only fathom lol.

Re: Macras?
I see... So in other words just a constitutional republic and a capitalist market? That is a market and government type, not the culture of a nation of over 300 Million people . Are you from the US or...?

Re: Macras?
My only problem with someone saying they have 'US Culture' is that there's no such thing. Perhaps you can have English Culture since the entire country's smaller than most US states, but I dare you to put a East Coaster, a Californian, a Heartlander and a Southener in a room together and see if they interact without any cultural divides.

Re: Macras?
US Culture is pretty much having about a zillion subcultures spread over a mind bogglingly vast area. Also, add Texan and Alaskan into that mix and watch it erupt into a brawl lol. As someone who as lived on BOTH coasts for extended periods I can say it would turn into Thunderdome.

Re: Macras?
And the rest of the country'd pay to see it on pay per view.
I like your definition of American Culture. I think I'll use that from now on.

Re: Macras?
I think just as an example of how much difference there really is even among the same geographical region, it would be Thunderdome with just someone from Philly, NYC and Boston and they're all East Coast cities!

All of the above is applicable to England if you change the cities' names
