Nation Forge — Iron Desert [1863] — Beware the Ides of March

Are you guys seriously making a big deal of something as simple as a few pixels? If you REALLY want it, but Swat 3 REALLY wants to keep it, how about you simply make it a de jure claim? Y'know, so you can give backstories to your nations, like pre-rp relations and the sort.

The best kind of war is one without rules or authorities.

well if you're going to argue, do it ic or don't do it at all, and if you gotta we have pms for a reason

[Swat 3]

yes mom

[SWAT One]

can we be nomads

PM me and we'll discuss it.


As far as the trans-gulf claim, it should technically go to Nyn due to prior claim disputes, but I have to agree with Swat 3.  It seems like its purpose is to be a trade leverage device, and can be used as a defensive foothold in the event of war or to act as a deterrent for war.  It also makes nations less willing to provide defense for Anglond, putting it at a diplomatic disadvantage.  Also judging that Nyn currently owns a large share of the fertile land in the region, it makes population growth non-problematic.

Unless you're willing to give up 30% of the fertile land, I will be granting this territory to Anglond.  I will be willing to negotiate this further if you wish [OVER PMs], but I foresaw this problem and should have prevented you from having it in the beginning like I originally thought.


Also, Swat, please reduce the number of cities you have.  The population is 5,000,000, and this is a primarily agrarian time.  You wouldn't be able to survive with an ≈70% urban population.  I'll place 4 cities in total for now.

alrighty. be sure to have a frisia.
