Ok guys and gals and alien robots (hi Charlotte)!

We have an official map for our EscChat Song Contest. This map is in it's early stages, and only shows the boundaries between countries. Future maps will show cities, lakes, rivers, forests, swamps and deserts. That will actually be up to you! You will pick from one of the available countries to make as your location (i.e. the location of "State of the Ark", if you are Stockholm Calling). Once you've chosen your country's location, you can then decide what terrain types are found in your country.




Map of the continent of Avalon. It is tentatively set as a large island-continent in the Atlantic Ocean.

These are the numbers that have already been claimed:
1 - Nova Nova Scotia
2 - Wodongaria
3 - Lusitânia
5 - Safinette
6 - Hexelbourg
7 - Hatican City
8 - Kristonia
9 - Sheepmark
10 - Annex of Furnyland
11 - Annex of Furnyland
12 - Furnyland
13 - Støkkanslåndet
14 - Furnyland's Nuclear Test Site
15 - Eigerland
16 - Black Daisystan
17 - Empelia
18 - The Westerlands
19 - Il Regno d'Italofilia
20 - Jamoukovia
21 - Annex of Furnyland
22 - Dhakan
23 - LuLuland
25 - State of the Ark
26 - San Minino
27 - Davis Island

Since we've "relegated" a few countries off of the map (due to no longer competing), we have plenty of spots available for new countries and possible expansions! As a reminder, no new island nations will be added to the map until ALL of the continental spots have been assigned.

Please post here the available numbered location you wish your country to have and I will update the map.

9 tah Este

or anything on the coast if that's not possible

SHEEP WE ARE NEIGHBOURS!!!!

Anyway estevao you must know the terrain of my intense anus shaped glorious nation

The terrain is very very dense forest, as the dictatorial regime has limited development among the natives thus many people still live in tribes with little or no de-forestation. Huge rivers run across the country bordered with huge flood plains which the forest-natives use for growing crops which they use for subsistance farming, just scraping a living. The coast has huge sweeping untouched beaches, backed by huge sand dunes which abruptly merge into the rainforest after a belt of crops. The country is very flat, apart from some mountains in the north, which are home to the infamous oooga-booga tribe, who are the very first natives of the country before it was colonised and inhabitated by Irish, French & Belarusian immigrants.
The coast is also home to most of our main cities, which contrary to the inner part of the country are very developed, highlighting the extremely un-even distribution of wealth within the country The Belarusian half is in the north of the country, with the majority of the tribal population, whereas the Franglais speaking half is the southern part with the developed cities, & important government buildings.

Cities (in order of size) -
Capital: La Minske (Bang smack in the middle of the country, straddling both language parts)
2nd city: L'Anus (On the south coast)
L'Ooga-Booga (In the north)
(We have a very small population of only 175,745.5 people so we only have 3 cities)

Great idea, Este

As a matter of fact, The State of the Ark is an island too. It's situated near Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland:

Actually Este, I have some questions to ask you, but I can't type very well at all this evening, so I will ask them later

Questions from Sheep

No problem Sheep...whenever you are ready to ask you can ask me in chat, on skype, in a PM here or e-mail them to me at: [email protected]

previous map

There was a previous map that some people had been using. That map was made long before our EscChat Song Contest and thus, is not included in this map. This map is for all contestants in our contest. For those of you that had countries on that old map, you are more than welcome to pick a new location on the current map for your country. A couple of people have already done so.

Chris!

I see you are 11 hours ahead of me here in Lisbon Portugal (Tasmania UTC +11, Lisbon UTC +0). Maybe if I can wake up at 11am here (10pm your time), we could meet in chat!

We'd love to get to know you in chat some time

Davis Islanders are historically of Swedish and Scottish origin, so hopefully you don't mind your settlers coming from our background

Ok....I just added Solico's country of Yehuda.

The island countries of San Minino, Davis Island, State of the Ark, MILKlands, and Lululand will be added in the next day or two. And since Arbana is located underwater, I'll show where it is approximately.

(And I hope everyone is finding the forums easier to search now)
