I say no Australia and a unified American Continent. Paradise, just do the un-democratic thing and go with your instincts.

I'd be okay with Australia waiting a while, or putting it in Asia. But keep the Americas seperate. And if you did combine them, what would happen to people with 2 nations, 1 in each continent.

Okay, Paradise, I have a proposition.

North America and South America could be one region. Hell, they touch. So, how about you consider doing that while making Australia. Australia is different from Asia. Very different. It'd also be hell for the map makers. So what do you think?

Trust me, the regions will collapse come the summer. Personally, I don't think we should have even bothered with them now. I would have not created them if I was Paradise.

You sacrifice a nation in exchange for getting more land for your other nation.

Why not just do it like we were going to do originally: two nations for regions which encompass two continents?

We'll discuss the fate of the American continents on March 27th.

Adding Australia to the Asian map is easier than you think. It would only mean adding back all nations already present on the Asian map on a new map.

We never originally intended that. Some assumed it would be the case (and I don't know why).

You could consider the Middle East as three different continents. That doesn't mean you can place 3 nations there...

Thats what you said about Europe and Asia last year. Europe is probably our most active region now.

But it makes absolutly no sense that one American nation would cease to exist, and also, nations colonizing the world could only have a colony in etheir Asia or Australia. Anyway, you get more activity in Asia if you allow for two nations at a time, if you don't have a seperate Australian continent. And for real, I don't understand why the Middle East is a seperate region. It's really part of Asia. Australia is even more different from Asia than the middle east. So, you should at least be able to have a country in Asia and Australia.

Middle East is the first region. Everything branches out from there.

Only because I'm there lol! ;)

And, look at how inactive Asia is and Africa doesn't fare much better.

To be honest, Middle East is less active than it once was too. I wonder if we should work on recruitment?

I agree with the first. We can put off the American Continents issue until the trial period is over. Then we will make a decision, although I am in favor of two nations in one continent.

As for Australia. I am against it completely. I want no Australia. I mean, I'm the one who has to revamp the whole map. And if it was important I'd do it, its just that we don't really need Australia. It'd be a nuisance for no reason. Besides, Asia's practically empty compared to amost all other regions. Just send a nation here.

Thats a good map.

In fact, the map I proposed would be temporary. I'm actually improving it (tracing a black border between land ans sea, a gray border between RL nations) but it's a rather long process :unsure:

No. I want to do it. I'm just a complainer.

You know I have a far easier way of accomplishing the same effect Paradise, I could just expand the frame of the Asian Continent and place Australia where it should go. That way no one has to redraw the nations :D
