I've got this plan: No one has really used Lansay, no one cares about it much, as far as I know, and it has no significance really. I figure I can mold the area (keeping the mainland boundary with Folland) and fit island(s) there too. I'd like to really mold this area, although I recognize it will be smaller than the former Mitron.

5. a) Mitron was originally settled by Etruscan sailors, looking for an area to create a base and restock their dwindling supplies. The native Ohcans and the foreigners had friendly relations. After the Colonies War, Trentannia took over Mitron. They began abusive policies against the Ohcans, upsetting the settlers. Eventually, in a year unavailable at this time, the colonists rebelled and won their independence. To this day they are a small country, however they are surviving & thriving.
    Apparently this is all up in the air, I think. I see Mitron as history-wise a mini US, somewhat. Economically, and in most real-life comparisons, we are like the Netherlands. Ethnically, we're Franco-American.
  b) Mitron has a population of 20 million, and is a relatively small country. Much of the nation is an island, there is not a very high population density on the mainland.
  c) The government is a democratic republic. There are multiple political parties, but there are 5 main ones; The Republicans, Democrats, Nationalists, Federalists, and Isolationists. (I may change those names later, those are mostly placeholders)
  d) The economy is highly capitalist; with a focus on logging, mining of precious ores & minerals, and shipping and commerce is huge. Manufacturing is also popular on the mainland.
    GDP - ~$700 million

6. Sorry I left guys. I probably should've just gone on leave. I've been having some emotional & mental issues lately; I'm hoping their just normal teenage things, which I'm pretty sure they are. I've missed USNW in these 10 days I've been gone. I'm sure how active I'll be, but I'd like to be back. *Warm embrace with everyone*

Well! This is an interesting change.

I have no quarrels with you claiming Lansay and changing the name. (Naik miiiiiiight have something to say though, I had thought he liked Lansay's part in Kuyrut's history.) But I find it humbling you gave yourself a smaller, less powerful country this time, very impressive. (yeah i know i could learn a thing or two about that )

Als I am in love with that marina you built, cool work in-game.

The history seems solid enough, I'm positive the others will help you build it more. Such as Shayden or Folland helping you win your independence from Trentannia. Overall this is a pretty decent application. Welcome back Chris.

Why thank you Mike! I don't know if I've shown anyone the marina yet, but I'm very proud of it. Lots of hard work and trial and error.

I was not aware of Lansay having any part in Kuyrut's history, although in retrospect it seems logical. If there's any problems I could either a) Choose another location or b) Work out the history with Naik.

I wanted to keep a mainly island nation so I can have the navy as my most powerful military branch. I also may not be that small; I'm considering having several islands of varying sizes in the Rites Sea maybe, or in the South Calern (although I doubt the realism in that). For some reason I have this liking for a mainland with island satellites. I don't mind being a smaller power; I wasn't a big one in the first place. I would love to have other nations that would've helped Mitron gain it's independence; that was one of the original things I had wanted when I first applied.

I like your application!

I love the over-expansive detail you have

Well, I don't want to jump the gun, but....is this voteable yet?

Welcome back, Chris.  I see you modified Lansay's coast a bit, but it should work, if that's what you want.

This app won't be votable until tomorrow.

Yes, but I doubt that's final; I mostly wanted to get my point across.

Having a country with large amounts of access to the open sea does guarantee it a sizable array of sea faring vessels, and even then your country may not have a numerous amount of ships, but they would be of higher quality. Also something to think about, since your nation is small, and you have a population of only 20 million, you might not feasibly be the power you hope to be. In order to make progress you need a sizable workforce. The smaller your population, the slower it would take to progress than say Oxacmela, or Acadia. Then again, Folland only has 45 million in population, twice you so I would suspect that you're not too far from Folland's level of development.

If you want more islands, a perfect place to place them would be off the tip of the peninsula directly south of Mitron. A small country like this one however would probably not have any overseas territories. A small island or two in the South Calern Gulf though is iffy. Definitely a question for the Cartographic committee.

Also congratulations, I haven't spent so much deliberation over an app before. Look at dat paragraphs. Good luck on the voting Chris, I already know my answer.

Welcome home chris

Before I put this to vote, can you clarify that map please?

Yes, give me a few minutes.

Map updated; I'm interested in the pink.

I minimalized the mainland, and while I added the large island next to it, I still felt Lansay was too small. The second island I added may be to big for you guys, just mention if it is and I'm sure that can get changed. Basically, I have the mainland, the island, and a second one along the bay's mouth to give me a little more land. That should clear everything up.

Also - did we get a new activity index system?

I'd like to see some stats (GDP, GDPpc, etc.) and welcome back my lord

Stats are not available at the moment.

Can you make them available anytime soon? Preferably before the vote?

Chris wrote:Also - did we get a new activity index system?

Lol, we changed it so that it subtracts 1 per day, instead of 2. But it is not working very well.  

Your map isn't refreshing for me.  Majhost problems.

Yeah it's not refreshing. If you go to his account you can see the updated thumbnail though.

I'd need someone else to supply the numbers. I'm not sure what to do about majhost either.

It's your nation, you should supply the numbers, ffs.

You get to drag me from my study to give you some pointers. (I'm not really here )

First off, Welcome back!

Secondly, I really don't like the shape of the islands you have on your map. They don't look very natural and I think you could work them into the surroundings better, perhaps Jack could lend a hand.

Thirdly, I'd like to see some statistics on your nation. It's not very hard to work out, look at some real life examples that match Mitron. Also your history could have some work, dates perhaps? Judging from it I would gather that the spoken langue age wools be Etrusque (French).

English overtook French during the Trentannian-era of the colony. I can try and get some numbers.

Also, I didn't put dates because I want sure of the surrounding histories.

Almost all of Euphemia speaks Trentannian now anyway so don't worry about that. (We just have to be so much like North America don't we)

Nah, it's just more convenient to make our nations speak our first language.  At least for Shayden, Kaskaskia, and Acadia.

Chris, I am not good with stats at all, you're not alone.  Ask Juls and Forth for some help.

I can rework your islands if you'd like me to.

Your history doesn't make sense to me.  After the Colonies' War, Trentannia likely wouldn't have taken over, since they just lost a war to Ètrusque. (The wiki article is probably outdated) I can help you with that on Skype.  

Your app is almost ready for voting!

I was always under the impression Trentannia had won.....this screws up my whole history now.

I always figured we'd touch up the land.

Stats in the app.
