• Your initial claim may contain up to 5 free provinces.
• Your initial claim should be connected, we do not allow split claims (claims in different locations/continents, colonialism). Minor exceptions (single islands or a single province) may be granted by the Cartographer.
• Being absent/inactive without prior notice to the founder for more than 14 days may lead to deletion from the map.
• Your expansion claim must be connected to your claim, we do not allow split claims (claims in different locations/continents, colonialism). Minor exceptions may be granted by the Cartographer.
• You have two free provinces as free expansion per week. You cannot gift these provinces.
