What if we were to combine Europe and Asia into Eurasia?

Hmmm, I could see that, and maybe we could combine Africa and the Middle East into one too. That would make it just three regions for the whole world:

1) Eurasia and Australia
2) Africa and Middle East
3) North and South America

Of course, no one will agree to this arrangement, because people like the Middle East to be its own because of it being the original region and they don't wanna break tradition. Besides, Europe and Asia are both doing relatively decent in the forums so there's no real need to combine them. Plus, many people have nations in both Europe and Asia and nobody will want to get rid of one of them. I would support it, but what I support matters very little.

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa will remain independant. Asia and Australia have been combined into Australasia. North and South America will most likely be combined into Greater America.

Yeah, nobody really needs 5 nations to worry about anyways... We have lives outside of NS... at least I hope we do... and the fewer regions and nations the better. If you have to get rid of a nation in one of the two continents to comply with the rules after the consolidation, then just rp a cool story about how it happens and either let another nation take over through war or something...

So, my official position is:

Consolidate the Americas
Keep Australia as part of Asia
Maintain rule of one nation per region only

Agreed, except for the last point when applied to the Americas. It makes no sense for one country to suddenly cease to exist. Etheir the Americas remain seperate, or we have two nations on that one map. I can't see any nation just ceasing to exist like that.

Eureka!! I have it, we combine South America with Australia. North America remains a standalone region, and everyone goes away happy!

The regions would stand as follows:

Middle East (Self Explanatory)
European Continent (Europe)
African Continent (Africa)
Asian Continent (Asia)
North American Continent (North America)
Southern Pacific Continents (Australia, Antarctica, and South America)

Its a win-win-win-win-win situation! Who's with me!?!?

Not a bad idea.

A few points,
1. NA is very active, it doesn't need combined
2. Asia isn't active, Australia is a good idea.
3. SA isn't active, although I think it will be soon...

No way! Has completely no sense of the geographical positions of the continents. I do not like that idea at all.

I like that idea, though I've though of a way to RP losing a nation. If worst comes to worst, I'll just say Quaon recalled her colony.

Maybe anyone hasn't noticed, but North and South America are VERY different!!!
I don't like SA, and Australia, but I also don't like NA and SA.

My official proposal...

Australia joins the Asian Continent.
NA and SA remain seperate. But put every Central American Nation in SA. (any nations south of mexico...

Despite inactivity in SA, it makes no sense calling them 1. Central and South America are alike, but NA is very different. It isn't like putting NA and SA together would help. Sure It would have more post, but it would still be seperate topics invovling nearby nations, US, Mexican and Canadian land would interact with each other. And Central and South America would interact.

So why not just have Mexico and North NA,
And South SA.

Maybe its just me, but I just can't see countries in Canada interacting with Argentina... That would be like Norway and South Africa... And we would never combine Europe and Africa.

That's not a very good analogy because Europe is a very active region. Really, I thinl that countries in Canada interacting with countries in Argentia is a lot more plausible then people in Russia interacting with people in Argentina. Its simply not plausible to add Australa to SA.

Furthermore, the only problem in combining the Americas is that some people will lose one nation. Really, its not that big a deal. Most nations in NA have been inactive since creation, only a few nations have even had any RP whatsoever. The samegoes for most all SA nations. You're not losing a major player, and it keeps the 1 nation a map rule.

Besides, having smoe kind of war where a bunch of nations cease to be in order to make room would be fun.

OK so we can stop beating the death cow, Australia has been dumped is Asia, end of discussion :P :lol:


As for the joining of NA and SA, I personally have to agree with Norightsia in that even if we have to lose one nation, does it really matter? I mean how many people can honestly say they made a post in SA last week that got more than 5 replies (which seems to be the norm most of the time in the more active regions)? So we sacrifice one for another, it really isn't that bad of a deal and sure I don't really want to get rid of my SA nation (that's the one I'd chose to X if made to) mainly because I love the flag and in time could think of some interesting RPs, but as it stands I'm too involved in my more developed nations, so I honestly don't have the time.

But in the end you must realize that this is all up to one person (primarily), Paradise. An as far as I see it, unless you boost the post count tremendously for both regions before the 27th of this month (this coming Monday) then I think you'll be seeing one region very soon.

1). I know. I was just saying you can't reason that way.

2). I do it because it so easily annoys you. :P
