The Royal Republic Of Kumania wrote:Same.

In my old region, my nation used to be in eastern Canada and I built all of my nation's rp and facts around that.

My old region encountered the same issue of the map filling up and only undesirable locations like South America and Africa being left available. To combat that issue, I instituted some regulations that basically made it so only active people can have map claims, and those who are inactive would have their claims removed to make room for nations that much more deserve their desired claim. It didn't really help with increasing activity as the region was on a downward spiral into inactivity, but it did help clear out a lot of good land for the map.

Alas as for me however, it looks like Latrovia and Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus would either have to become inactive af or be kind enough to relinquish their claims of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland to let Kumania be where Kumania is. I don't really expect that to happen however, as it is nice land which is why I originally claimed it in my old region lmao. If Latrovia gave up eastern Canada to me, then his claim would be similar to Magatronia's claim in our old region, and that place was [B]a lowkey nuclear wasteland[/B] lmao.

The reforms, I remember those *stares into the middle distance, wistfully*

"Lowkey" Blame me and Axeldonia, we started that war. Of course then the corporations moved in...

The victors write the rules. Ruclax came out on top and thus he directed all blame onto Valt and the most vocal members of Montaris backed him up (because, in their defence, Valt had been the cause of most of their grievances with the NGA). New members heard of the horror that was this dude and either absorbed that mentality or were too apathetic to say otherwise. Thus the present situation.

And the Goddess Shirley, in all of her divine beauty and grace, said unto Her followers: Forgive in your hearts my son, the Argentlum Silver, for he knew not what he did in his days of despair and self-ruin.

Then, the Goddess Shirley, in all of her divine power and glory, said unto Her followers: Forgive in your souls the master of law, the one you call Ruclax, for he knew not what he did when the spirit of responsibility in his died.

As a final commandment on the Three Sinners, the Goddess Shirley, in her divine wrath and retribution, said unto Her followers: Forgive not the Sinner Valt, for he knew all that he did to torment you and keep you from my most holy kingdom. Banish him from this world on my behalf, that he may never return to wreck havoc in My domain again.

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.

This reminds me of the ESU Golden Age and it's incredible! Except these guys have all their history and it's like being thrown into a confusing new culture.
