I like the map (Its a lot better than most of my attempts), but we might want it to be bigger. Perhaps you could just stretch out the map and add more into the middle? I want the space for a huge Congo equivalent in there somewhere! Also with longer distances, it would make interventions more difficult and interesting, rather than having us able to fly sorties out of our own bases. For my nation I was thinking of having a smaller population and perhaps a bigger land area. I'm thinking having vast empty spaces would be more interesting.

Do my fellow Frequesuans (Coiler, Raj, Karmic) approve of this version, or will laughter and ridicule be my just dessert? Find out after the break!
(Obviously we'd have to fill up the rest of the continent but to launch an attempt to do so before the basic shape of the continent is approved would seem... Pointless.)

Your wish is my command: behold, Frequesue, now with extra Terra Incognita!Karmic Knight wrote:I also think that a larger total land area would be nicer.
Well, to give you some sense of the scale of the place, I envisioned Indhopal as roughly the size of South Africa (my own place isn't actually as big as it's shown on this map, but I doubt you'd even be able to see much of San Dorado if it were to scaleI want the space for a huge Congo equivalent in there somewhere!

). Anyway, I agree with supersizing the map a bit - it does look more like a continent rather than an oversized island now. And I think the new version certainly leaves plenty of room for Congo-esque failed states!

Shroomania is a slightly geographically larger Britain (I'm still using my old Shroomania map) to the west of PeZookia, separated by the Shroomish Channel.
Indhopal Gurkhas in the First War of the World? Langley Legionnaires!
I second a Temperate climate.Raj Ahten wrote:Siege Tank: Awesome work on the map
Edit: For me I'd probably prefer a temperate climate the best, with lots of rain and such coming from the east. Some of my indigenous tribes have a very Northwest US Indian vibe to them, and that would help with bit of back story. That and like the idea of having winters and it makes our shitholes different from a lot of real world shitholes that mostly seem to be subtropical in nature.
Slight problem: the MESS is formed as a reaction to the "great war" (or, apparently, we're having two of them?). So it'd be rather hard for the MESS to choose sides...since it doesn't formally exist.Coyote wrote:Sounds good to me!PeZook wrote:Okay

The Old Continent and the FUN's origins (the history alliance between Shroomania and PeZookia) began with the First War of the World.
Why don't the MESS get their shot in the Second War of the World?
I actually had some thoughts about all of this. Let me better organize them and I'll come back here.Shroom Man 777 wrote:WW1 was, like, between the Great Powers (Shroomania, PeZookia, Shadow). While WW2 was an ALL OUT SLUGFEST between the new Superpowers (i.e. the MESS).
With Japistan being Japan, and Shepistan being Pakistan (or something), then the Second War of the World (2WOTW) would probably see stuff like the Pacific Front of WW2.
Which would mean your island nations could kick ass! NAVIES! Carriers! Kamikazes! But without the advent of the atomic bomb, the decisive blow that would've caused the surrender of Japistan would've never been struck!
It would probably be obvious by then, however, who was lining up with who.RogueIce wrote:Slight problem: the MESS is formed as a reaction to the "great war" (or, apparently, we're having two of them?). So it'd be rather hard for the MESS to choose sides...since it doesn't formally exist.
Future MESS members might get involved, but the alliance itself, for obvious reasons, cannot.
I'd propose a temperate south and a more subtropical north, similar to Australia (that would place our continent on the southern hemisphere of our planet, incidentally). This would leave us with you and Karmic in the temperate south, whereas me and Coiler would be in the more tropical north, which suits me well because I've always envisioned San Dorado as a vaguely tropical metropolis.Raj Ahten wrote:Siege Tank: Awesome work on the map
I need a connection with the mainland for many of the plot ideas I've got dreamed up to work, plus I don't want to hide on an island. My military and national guard are more than competent enough to hold off the occasional militia.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Perhaps San Dorado can be an island, the Hong Kong of Frequesue. If the Old Continent, as Siege's Arrow says, is to the "Left" then San Dorado could be an island on the left side of Frequesue as well, making it an important trade-hub island for any ships bound for mainland Frequesue.
Shroom, we've got an actual navy these days. Somali pirates got nothing on my nuclear cruiser (or the Citidef flying boats for that matter -- peppering Somali speedboats with .50cals since 1951!)An island San Dorado would mean that it would have to deal with Somali pirates from Frequesue. And how would San Dorado deal with them? WITH THEIR OWN PIRATES!
