Hope everyone is doing well!

Forgive me if I misinterpretted the debate that was/is going on concerning the maps, but if you'll permit me a few proposals for going forward.

• The mapmaker should set the basic technical rules for requesting being added to the map and edits made thereafter. Like the actual things—capitals, cities, etc—that get added, what they look like, how often the map gets updated, how you need to request edits, and so on... the technical crap.

• There should be legislation defining rules that affect RP, like how a new nation starts on the map. (For example, should a new member to the region with 12.5 billion population immediately get a huge chunk of territory to represent that population, OR should everyone be allowed to start with a set size and then if they want to they RP expansion? Personally, I like a combo-rule whereby we'd allow a nation to start with small set amount of territory per billion in population and then ask them to RP expansion. A size about the size of Belgium is more than enough for upto a billion in a highly urban environment—think of a mega-mega-sized Singapore.)

• Having a non-RP map serves little purpose and can be very confusing. I'd recommend that the maps always be "RP", but we must respect that some (many) players don't have time, energy, or desire to engage in warfare. A good compromise is to approach it with an RP solution—designate through RP "international law" that nations may renounce warfare and are officially pacifist nations. It would then be forbidden to engage these nations militarily. To respond to violations of this law, an international task force commanded by a war-player would take to defending the pacifist nation, sanctions can be applied to the violator (their GDP is declared 10% less, thus harming their nation, and so on). Another possible solution—terraform Sunalaya's moon (is it called Mun?) and allow pacifist nations to settle there. Warfare would be forbidden on Mun, but not Sunalaya proper. Mun could even be the regional capital, where every nation gets a small territory for peaceful purposes only, and Mun would also be the neutral seat of the United Sunalaya Assembly. Pacifist nations could have a military, but would not expand via warfare. Instead, maybe they can slowly expand into nearby unclaimed/NPC territory through peaceful RP to represent their population growth?

• Are puppets allowed? If so, there should be strict rules for their incorporation. For example—allow only 1 puppet to be introduced each several months, allow only a percent of the puppet's stats to be counted, slowly increasing that percent over several months until the puppet is fully incorporated, and require the puppet to be developed (its own factbooks and info) and RP of the incorporation. I have Wicko and Urartega. It wouldn't be fair to snaller nations or large existing players, to just plop an extra 16 billion people on the map and instantly claim a hyper-power position in the RP. (As nice as that sounds.)

Let me go over these
-yes I like that
-we go by rp populations. So even though i ha e an ns pop of 3.8 billion, i rp with a population of 56 million.this goes for many other people as well.
-well, being MT, we dont have amy method of terraforming...
- puppeta are allowed if they serve a purpose. I have 4 on the map. All are seperate from Rhodevus and have different roles and responsibilities. Rezua has oblaren. Aznazia and lind have other african countries. As long as they serve a purpose it is fine.

What? No space UN? Damn

To be honest, I'd like to know (as mapmaker) how this is done. And make up my decision from there.

I think he should be the new map maker. He is neutral and obviously talented.

Guys. No big changes. It doesnt matter enough. I am not in favour of a new overall map. Just fix the problems we have with the old map and leave it as is

He can make the map into one like he has shown.

I agree

I like this!

If you try to replicate his work, please make sure you show us. Maybe we can decide who the new map maker will be...

I say we put it into a poll. Decide which map will be used.
