It's 5 hexes right ?

37.18

Is that ok ?

Or

37.19
38.18
39.19

Thank u.

If you're wanting a spot on the map, you're probably best off sending a telegram to Nedea, as they are responsible for the map and the updates thereof. That being said, we all check the regional message board regularly, so there's a good chance Nedea will see your claim. Be prepared though, Nedea will need geographical details of your nation, such as:
- The Name and Location of your Capital City
- The Names and Locations of your other Cities
- The Names and Locations of any major military bases you have (that may form part of the plotline in any regional roleplaying you take part in)

Welcome to NCON, I hope you have an interesting and productive time here. If you need any help with the regional roleplay, or anything else within NationStates that we can help you with, just drop a message here on the RMB. I wish you the best of luck in governing your nation, and hope you enjoy your time here on NationStates.

So. Since we have new map claims and I still have Crox to add, I'll have a stream this weekend. To have more people show up at a time, would you guys like me to figure out what time works the best for everyone and schedule that. Or, do you guys like me just announcing a time and you figure it out?

I'm hella busy this weekend, or I would watch the stream. Thanks for updating the map though!

Whim.

But more seriously, I was looking through the embassies and I got as far as Aeia before I was interrupted. I predict more embassies will be closed as I review them. As for why, as far as I am concerned, we have eclipsed them, they are inactive, and I don't really know why we had embassies with them in the first place. They had a pretty cool RP community when they were running but alas, they are puttering out. Here in NCON we can go quiet sometimes but we don't go 2 weeks without at least an RMB post.

I am a firm believer in the mantra of our region, Ne Cede Malis! which translates to, Yield Not To Misfortune! While I don't necessarily know the origin of why this is our regions motto, it is. As such, I will not sanction embassies with regions that do not share that belief.

However, if there are those of you wish to maintain the embassies we have with them and the others I will move to purge, then I will delay it and have the discussion.

EDIT:

These are the regions I am currently looking to purge. The remaining embassies either have active communities or provide some service to us, IE: The Newsstand, Bus Stop

Aeia
The Alterran Republic
The Great Region
The Great Universe
Ikuisuus
The North Kingstown

For me the reason why we originally had ties with them was because Ncon people were there Onza and Anjerrn. There also was ucon people there also with Vvardan and Prime. Aria pretty much turned out what I was worried about originally with Discord as most of their activity was in on the app.

Just a thought... but in delta, is it possible for colonies to be established? For instance, if I were to create a brand new nation (which would start with 5 million people), could I operate it as a colony of Croxoco within delta? (Maybe under the assumption of 1 colony per nation?)

We had problems with puppets in the past it's actually the reason NCON became UCON. If colonies are going to be created I'd rather subtract from the main nation and have a sort of stability timeframe in which the colony becomes stable enough for growth and expansion.

At this point colonies are unimportant but I brought up a idea about a trade route map and he mentioned maybe combing it with a resource map. Maybe colonial territory would be more useful for controlling a resource or a valuable trade position. While I don't see someone like Nedea having straight colonies I could see him creating or taking a lot of trade cities.

Question for you all, but in particular 46566 (Ducat), Nedea (Kredit) and Athretvari (Athcoin), but how valuable do you consider your respective currencies, in terms of their purchasing power. For example's sake, lets look at the value of Gold.

Today, 1 gram of gold can be bought with:
- $59.02 (USD)
- £44.00 (GBP)

How valuable, in relation to gold,would you peg your respective currencies? With how bored I am, I'm considering building an exchange rate mechanism for the region.

I used to let the Ducat to the Kredit purely to weaken the value of my currency. The KU and my GDP used to be roughly equal and with the potential instability with multiple nation's the Kredit could have been a weaker currency. Right now I'd say that the Ducat is a weaker currency than the Kredit. While the bulk of the value of the currency is based on my GDP 2 other GDP are in the eyeball formula. I honestly wouldn't know a set price that would be fair. For me I can't get a good idea mainly because of Ath and his currency.

Given how technologically advanced NCON is, and given the setting of Delta (while not extensively rp'd, the Enkon system permits this possibility), nations, despite their enormous economies, could probably maintain a gold standard. Especially since physical currency in the modern western world accounts for around 3% of "money" in circulation (the remaining 97% or so being "credit"/debt). If the nations of Enkon operate asteroid mining operations, and the peg is small enough (i.e. 1 metric gram of gold = $59 USD), a gold standard is eminently feasible without sacrificing the liquidity of each national economy.

Alto would guess dual metal currencies can gain a little benefit. Basically backed by gold and silver. Though personally like free floating currency peged on nothing but RPs and perception. I just honestly just used mainly a informal eyeball exchange rate. Just by a quick glance right now the Kredit is probably the strongest currency do the fact that the Ducat is being brought down by Otrurg-Dreisgau-Rubrein size. Though having a lower exchange rate helps the DU because it makes our goods cheaper for people in the KU. Ath is a closed economy so it's hard to peg it as the third strongest currency. I'd guess and just say 1 Kredit probably is worth like 1.12 ducats or something. RP could easily change the exchange rates if people join/leave the KU or DU, Ath opens his market up, maybe a coalition of NPC nation's are formed on Delta that's basically a EU with a defensive alliance. Multiple things can change the economic outlook not counting what any new nation's feel like doing. The unaligned (New) people have probably a lot of pull on the 3 groups economically. While we work together economic wise now things don't change especially how the DU is run. While I trade heavily with the KU nation's come tomorrow I could find that both you and ODR agreed to embargo the KU.

Unaligned nation's could play the KU and the DU off each other to get better deals or loans. With how little we (the big nation's) use our nation's against each other most new people are free to do any war rp they want as I'm sure we would be willing to supply the fighting and rebuilding effort. Most of us are usually led by self interest rp wise.
