DAO modification

Request:
I would like to claim this territory. In return, the lands between Gerenia and East Gerenia (north of the river) can be removed.
Notes:
I have been inactive for a while now (work, no time,travels, ...), but with a bit of free time coming up, I wanted to revive some of my interest in the micronational hobby. Benacia is, at the moment an interesting place to be, and I want to aid in making the situation a little bit more interesting.
To summarise the story I'm working on (trying to stay in line with the work of the Shirerithians and Jack): in the aftermath of the War of Lost Brothers, Shirerithian interest in the Green Benacian territories has grown. Batavian settlers (the western part of the country is the former province of Hoorne and Ashkenatza Minor) take up their guns, rally behind the charismatic lieutenant-general Baerdemans and push back mercenaries who are seeking glory and riches in those lawless territories. The Batavians establish their own government and make a push eastwards (towards Kalgachia). Pressured from all sides, they proclaim the establishment of the Transbataafsche Vrystaat: a republic with harsh apartheid policies, inclined in protecting the untouched Batavian culture (at least, that's how they see it).
The Transbataafsche Vrystaat will act as a separate country, and not as part of Jingdao.
I'm looking through the archives of Batavia (including old forums and wiki) and will soon re-publish some cultural stuff from those times (adapted to the current situation of course)

Can't vote...

Re: DAO modification
NAY in its current form, not because I don't want the Vrystaat to exist, I actually think it will provide an interesting dynamic with Kasterburg.
But I can't support this claim because Shireroth has publicly expressed interest, and the claim got rejected for two reasons: "being on a whim" and "the claim looks ugly". I did absolutely agree with the second point, but the first reason must be applied to the Vrystaat as well, if Joe wants to be consistent.
I think the MCS has a precedent that if a claim is being developed, it takes this seriously. Shireroth was sent back to the drawing board, and it is unfair to immediately give the land to another claimant. I think a compromise might be reached, but I cannot support the Vrystaat claiming the entire area.

Re: DAO modification
NAY from me as well, seems to just be a claim to get one over on Shireroth rather than anything that will have any serious development attached to it.
Re: DAO modification
As the mod doesn't have the full authorisation of the Jingdaoese leadership, I'll have to tip my vote over to a NAY - they're obviously not ready yet.
