Is there a regional map here?
Government Officials | Residents of South Pacific |
Minister of Foreign Affairs: |
Resident: |
Panther. Either describe the territories you'd prefer, or else save the map yourself, edit it with Paint, and send the file. Your claims may be revised.✈ 
Zoomable Version ✈
(Any minor changes to your territories, simply send a telegram or notify on the RMB)
The Battleground Continent
The brand new continent that exists on this map is where the battleground is located. Nations have the option to fight over this territory. In order for you to be involved in this you must have the game Sid Miers Civilization V and it VI and also be in the Civilization Discord found
here. The way your territory will be determined when it comes to this new continent is when a nation joins the continent they will be allowed up to 3 provinces. (Note: This is entirely separate from the mainland, meaning you can have your land already chosen on the map and also opt into the battleground to receive an additional 3 territories)
The War and how it works
This is all role-playing here so the way everything is determined is based on the game Sid Miers Civilization. There will be Seasons set up for each game Civilization V and Civilization VI each season will have a total of 4 episodes and begin at the beginning of each month and ending of each month. The battleground continent will be saved for the archives and reset each season.
In order to gain land, you must settle more cities. 2 Cities equals 1 province, so if you have 4 Cities you would have 5 provinces because you start out with 3 provinces in the beginning.
Claiming and or taking land through war or trade
Taking land from another nation is only possible on the battleground continent. In order to take land from another nation you must declare war and take one of there cities in Sid Miers Civilization. Upon taking the city you will receive one of there territories. Another option you have is the diplomatic solution you can try and figure out a trade deal with the nation and trade your territory that way as well.
FAQ
What happens if my nation gets wiped out in the game and I lose all my territories? Unfortunately, that’s a game over scenario, you lost... The war did not go in your favor... You would lose all your territory on the battleground continent and whatever nation wiped out your nation on Sid Miers will receive all of your territories on the battleground continent.
Is this a requirement to be on the map?
Absolutely not! This is just for fun and role-play and all of the Wars will be designated for the battleground continent.
Can someone declare war on me and force me into the battleground? No this is all voluntary and in order to even be able to declare war on each other’s nations each nation must first opt into the Sid Miers Civilization Season.
This is our map. If you plan on sticking around, and would like a place on it, feel free to telegram me your claim.

I would like to remind everyone to please apply your sunscreen, as the rays of the sun seem especially strong down here. And remember: if your sunscreen doesn't claim "Broad Spectrum" protection, then it's not actually protecting you.

Weird flex, but ok

June brought around the XKI Poet Laureate Competition where the region's finest poet's faced off on the topic of 'anger', aiming for the best poem on the topic in any form or style. The winner of this competition was 
Liberdon and their poem, The Storm's Wrath, is featured below:
The midnight sea lay still
Until a wind started to blow
And silence fell to a shrill
And once calm waves began to grow
Far above foaming dark
Rested thatched roofs and clay walls
Nestled in straw, a lark
All unaware as the wind calls
Higher! Higher! the waves howl
Leaping, lashing the salty rock
Suddenly the skies growl
Tick, tock, tick says the clock
Crash! A terrible sound
Waves strike and tear, unleashing wrath
Bash! Bang! Roar! the waves bound
Forgetting caution, the waves scathe
Wind grows weary and dies
Waves calm and recede to the sea
Morning dawns on clear skies
But on wreckage and debris
But do not despair, for
The storm has no more spite
Rejoice and leap and soar
And rebuild what was lost last night
For no storm can last long
And clear skies will always return
The trick is staying strong
Until the waves and wrath adjourn
Grea KriopiaYeah, the WWI series was incredible. And sad. Incredibly sad, even... That one's a six-part series, with each episode running around 3 or 4 hours.
https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-50-55-blueprint-for-armageddon-series/
I also really loved the series on the Mongols. That was a world I knew little about, and came away stunned by what I learned.
https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-wrath-of-the-khans-series/
Yeah, one of the benefits you Europeans have is all of the deep history around you.
Wow, never heard that legend of Pontius Pilate. That's wild. I wish the BBC article that wikipedia cites also had a source of its own, I'd love to follow that thread some more.
I love hearing of the different ways that places and/or communities attempt to connect themselves to certain parts of history. Another that comes to mind, also involving your fair isles, is the legend that Britain was founded by one of the refugees from the Fall of Troy. And Rome pulled the same trick. America has done it countless times, being so disconnected from everything else, way out over here.
Alexander the Great was my first history love. Read this historical fiction when I was young, The Virtues of War by Steven Pressfield, that follows his life and journey, and it really hooked me on the story:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1316.The_Virtues_of_War
He really is a remarkable figure to learn about. Sure, he may have been a maniacal butcher...sure, he may have been basically handed the world's greatest army by his father and given the perfect moment to use it...but gosh darn-it, I can't stop being fascinated by him.
Yeah, it’s probably in the same league as the Loch Ness Monster, interesting but bol...nonsense. The Yew tree is interesting enough. Sat there minding its own business for the last 3K or so years. If only it could talk....
I guess everyone was a butcher back then. And he needed to actually command the troops, having them there was only half the story. Of course diplomacy was yet to come. I first came across Alexander when I was quite young and on vacay, there’s a big ass statue of him in Edinburgh. I read up on him much, much later. I really couldn’t believe he got to India, then the fact he wanted to go on, but his troops told him to get stuffed. Fascinating. 🇲🇰
https://imgur.com/eWaIi2y
I also like the Punic Wars. Now that would be a mini-series worth watching. 🐘
That's a pretty cool statue. I don't think I've ever seen a statue of him in person, would be nice to see.
Yeah, just imaging ancient Greeks traipsing through ancient India is an incredible thought. It is one of those culture-clashes in history that can make you stop in your tracks.
I am also pretty fascinated by the more lasting impacts of Alexander's conquests across Asia. The most interesting example (for me) is the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom that formed in his wake, around modern-day Afghanistan. A remarkable thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Bactrian_Kingdom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhism
Agreed. An endlessly fascinating period in Roman history. Another huge culture clash, too, between the Phoenicians/Carthaginians and the nascent Romans.
*subtly points to yet another series in Hardcore History*
Punic Nightmares
https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-punic-nightmares-series/
Absolutely. Another ancient chapter I find very interesting was when the Romans sent a couple of legions into sub Saharan Africa. If Alexander was at head of the column then they would have reached Cape Town!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romans_in_Sub-Saharan_Africa
Another one is the supposed story of a couple of Native Americans landing in Europe in about 60 BC, doubt it’s true, but just imagine if it was.
https://www.cracked.com/article_19864_6-ridiculous-lies-you-believe-about-founding-america_p2.html?wa_ibsrc=fanpage
Amazing legacy from such a short life. I like the story of Ptolemaic Egypt. The fact that it lasted a couple of hundred years and then the story came full circle when the Romans took over.
Sure was a bit like the Cold War, except over 2000 years ago. I shall check out the podcast.
