Ulgania, I had a chance to look at the template you posted and I am curious; Did you modify it in any way? It looks as if it is not properly cropped and fits poorly with the page. I checked the copy on my Harddrive and it doesn't seem to have this problem. If you edited it in any way, then this is probably a fragment of whatever modification process you did to it; you'll need to crop it to its appropriate dimensions to remove any distortions. Or, if this was a FUBAR on part of uploading it to ImageShack, let me know and I'll re-send you the fixed template. EDIT: After reviewing all of the templates on ImageShack, it looks like this was an Upload FUBAR. Will resend image. Edited by Eleytheria-Duo, May 6 2009, 05:54 PM.

To add to what Kas said in the other topic, I'd like to know this as well. Just knowing what various steps were taken would be pretty cool, just so I can update Ulgania, and do my own for my other countries. |

I forgot about the discussion topic. Sorry about that ED. But yeah, the question still stands... Though as you well know, I'm useless with these sort of things, so I wouldn't be able to update it myself without it looking extremely wonky... |

They require GIMP to edit properly. You can download it by going to http://www.gimp.org/ From there its more along the lines of having prefabricated pieces and handiwork setting the transparency. And of course not going outside the preset boundaries... For the most part, I find it relatively easy, though perhaps time consuming as a single template can take up to excess of an hour or more to complete from scratch. However, there are others whom disagree with me, and say its beyond them. For the most part I think it just takes determination and a little creativity. EDIT: And will update Seds / Filos templates when I get the opportunity. Edited by Eleytheria-Duo, Jul 23 2009, 01:06 AM.

I've been fleshing out the info for my nations, and Venice is ready for one of these panels. Spoiler: click to toggle http://s3.zetaboards.com/nationstates/topic/7252687/1/: This link is to the nation description page. I figure someday in this lifetime I'll find the time to learn how to use the wiki and make a page there. Please listen to the anthem. I think it's great. Also, the maps showing the nation on the panels are really cool. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Edited by Telosan, Sep 1 2009, 03:40 PM.

Your independance would be from the Dominion, having been one of its provinces. |

That's the most recent independence; his national independence could still date back to the founding of his country. |

It became independant of the HRE when it joined the Dominion. There was no state in between being part of Vienna and then being a part of Zapht. |

RP'd history always has meaning. RL history has meaning if the player (Alberto) so desires. And it looks like he so desires. RP'd and RL histories are by definition never contradictory and can always exist side by side. "Date of independence" is such an ambiguous term anyways.

Iberian States, your independance could have been from The H's old nation, Hispania, though the Hispania Civil War. Your date of independance, you put 1888, which may be true at some point in your history, but Hispania used to own all of Iberia, so your nation had to have been part of it at some point. If you want more info on the Hispania Civil War, you need to talk to The H. He never actually wrote the story on the forums as far as I know. |

No shelling exchanges... :nono: You don't have to specify an Independence date to match NSWR Lore just because someone controlled the territory you occupy prior to your arrival... Encyclopædia of Nations isn't even Official, and dates are ambiguous anyway. Any number of us could be plopping down on land that was once owned by a powerful state and say they declared Independence from something entirely different and prior to the year this powerful entity existed there. Doesn't make it invalid, just makes it new history-- Seriously, how many of us have done that...? A lot. And Alberto's point is perfectly valid, just because he was once a part of the Dominion does not mean, by any stretch, that he must specify this to be so. Likewise, Kas is right; His aforementioned Nation was part of the Dominion thus it is valid that he could have declared a 'recent' Independence from it. Either one can technically be valid, and its solely up to Alberto what he wants to do with it. Finally, as Nag shattered my thread and the templates are aging, I need to redo them all over again anyway. |
