Either, or both. I'm still trying to do a factbook, so it might take a while. Maybe I'll apply to them, do your Vipers need a rogue state to fund them?

A long time ago, back in the Eurasian Socialist Union, we had our first Eurasian Song Contest. It was really easy for nations to participate in the competition and afterwards vote the best entry. All they had to do, was find a song of their preference on YouTube with less than a specific set number of views and post it as their national entry song.

UK's entry was Kadebostany performing her song "Walking with a Ghost". [B]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQDK6x1i8jY[/B]

And after 12 nations applied to participate in this Festival, the competition looked something like this: [B]http://mixlr.com/myradioukl/showreel/eurasian-song-contest/[/B]

The UK is aspiring to bring this magical festival in the COFN as well. We all want to know if nations are willing to participate here as well.

I don't believe so. I can double check though

Just realized that I looked far too north for the Azores. Found them just now, so I'll edit that. Gonna think about making Bermuda it's own country.

Have you looked into putting names instead of numbers? I know there's a reason I'm just interested on why.

I've thought about it. Depending on how much support it gets, I'd do it

I'd support that, it'd make the map a map instead of a glorified index

If I could get capitals from everyone and add them to the map, that'd be great. Only problem would be where to put Population.

Looks good, Bax! Also, if you plan to put Percyton on the map, you can just put it on the Isle of Man: Sodor and Man are fairly close, and it'd be a lot easier than drawing Sodor.

Drawing Sodor isn't too bad. Thanks for reminding me though

I think a lot of people including myself have capitals that are real places. Unless you want to put Vancouver in a forzen wasteland about 900 miles north of where it actually is, be my guest

I thought you'd use Juneau or something, but you're probably right about that. Just gonna have to get them from everyone.

Juno, as it's Anglicized in Yukon, is the capital of Alaska state but not of the country. I'd use it for RP purposes I guess but in reality the capital is Vancouver and second biggest city is Edmonton then Calgary.

All these formal words. Too many. You just need aesthetic, vaporwave, and dank memes. That's all.

Only thing is that Per owns Vancouver for RP purposes. Perhaps you could have a city named Vancouver, it'd be your biggest city and separate from Per's Vancouver or whatever he calls it.

Yeah, kinda questioned that a few days ago.

I think the bigger question is how he's the first, considering Flynn has been around for a hell of a lot longer.

Its more that no one can get on Mars, as it isn't a feat closed to finish for us humans. Also, while I understand your pro-Flynn, I wouldn't support that clain totally. A nation the size of New York would have to have quite the institutions to be the first to launch someone to the moon. More than likely, it'd be Androm or Jas. Of course, if you're using his futuristic RP stats, then that's different.
