April 23, 20214 yr Before I go any further with the final region. How do we feel about it looking more like this: :thinking: I feel like we have to have one vertical region and it's such a big boi it's perfect for it!
April 23, 20214 yr I'm actually quite proud of it! I think it looks great but still keeps to the original design! It’s perfect! I chose it originally because it looked like a land mass of coves which would stay true to the name, now it’s even more so!
April 24, 20214 yr Author EXCUSE YOU. People in that island live happily together and there is no need for war...we can come up with some shared name/info for it if you want to!!! Yes, we agree that the island Population has lived very peacefully and happily for a number of years - under Ashtonise occupation and control. There was no war or bloodshed, the island has been occupied for a decade or so now quite peacefully. We know the islands as Saynher Janslic (Fotherington Islands in English) and the western territory is a full federated state of the Republic that goes by this name. The occupied Eastern portion has special status outwith the federation and is known within Ashton as Ashtonise Occupied Botanikkan Island Territory (AOBIT) until the entire island is rightfully recognised as Federal territory, at which point the whole island will be once again known as Saynher Janslic. ^_^
April 24, 20214 yr With all this invasion talk it might be time to revive this thread as well http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=198143 :magic:
April 24, 20214 yr Finally, here's Hasbeenalia which I have made vertical which I really hope no one minds. It's HUGE and takes a while to scroll down in full definition but it's got some very interesting borders and shorelines but I had a lot of fun making this one! Not a whole lot of current countries here either but makes sense with what Bré said earlier about piling the inactive countries here :lol: lots of countries we haven't seen since like the first 10 contests but then we have some current ones like Sandénia in the far south, Suedeonia completely blocking off Waldia from the sea :lol:, Rolloland (whom I gave a few islands because why not), Republic of Adonia who now own the entire shoreline around a massive lake because again, why not :lol:, and then a lot further up north we have Zanmatony being blocked from the sea by PoisonVine Bay (let me know if you're gonna invade Wardy and I can update the map haha!) but I gave them a big lake so it's not all bad, they border with Flynnonda who have a big coastline, Beaverdonia off the coast, and finally Tartford is a massive fjord-filled country (made out of a lot of nordic countries lmk if you can spot any :P) and I made them block BCBL from the eastern coast because it looked cool and they haven't been around since the second contest anyway :P (beware, it's LONG) (Update: I've changed PVB to a Zanmatony occupied territory as per Wardy's request! :o ) My favourite part of this map though is probably Umiiruka which was absolutely no chance of not making massive and they give me Greenland vibes both with the size, shape and name. Kind of hope they come back some day but we'll see! I'll make a big map next with all of them, followed by a recap of the unclaimed countries. Arcodesia has claimed #9 (in Vinorel) while Sovarasma claimed #4 in Miskantha, that leaves 18 unclaimed countries of all shapes and sizes.
April 24, 20214 yr a lot further up north we have Zanmatony being blocked from the sea by PoisonVine Bay (let me know if you're gonna invade Wardy and I can update the map haha!) but I gave them a big lake so it's not all bad Thanks Jafet! I’m not sure who PoisonVine Bay were, but yes I’m going to lay siege to their coastline until they return one day. :P
April 24, 20214 yr Looks epic. That has a LOT of countries who entered one contest in the first five to ten contests and then never returned (and so have no chance of returning now - Poisonvine Bay for example are GrAmii, who I vaguely remember from my early days on here but hasn't logged in for years and entered like 2 contests in 2007 before not bothering with the thing again IIRC). Maybe Séyetana needs to do an imperialism.
April 24, 20214 yr It's probably fine to change it if you wanna move Singerpurear somewhere else to make it fit your narrative haha! Anyway, here's the massive twin continent of East & West Twikande with Dobago, Liechtenstaan, Aeroche and The Land of the Shamrock! Aquafina manages to just merely stop being landlocked but its maritime borders are still blocked by neighbours Mezidinia and Bellamia. Persephonia and Altyr Muunilinst battle Fljótavík for biggest country in the Buzzverse as they take up a huge area here. Altyr manages to wind up with a shoreline split up by Avalonia which was kind of an accident but I liked it so I kept it in because these things do happen IRL (see Croatia/Bosnia for example). Lots of current countries here, I was most surprised to see how far Persephonia and Jadakissnia are from each other </3. There are NO unclaimed countries here unless any of these nations want to give up some of their area. Here's the original map for comparison. Updated World Map Updated Virtual Globe Direct Comparison what a continent! so many favs on there 152bradewild wont let up <3 Edited April 24, 20214 yr by jakewild
April 24, 20214 yr Thanks Jafet! I’m not sure who PoisonVine Bay were, but yes I’m going to lay siege to their coastline until they return one day. :P Alright, I've updated the map to include your occupation of PoisonVine Bay :P
April 24, 20214 yr Here we finally have a FULL world map. I made one that is big and detailed and another one that is small and easily usable by anyone who wants to do anything with it - without markings and colour (idk, if maybe someone wants to make a participation map or something). I'll make another one with two-letter abbreviations for every country on there that you can put in the first post Bré - the big one, with more detail, color codes and country names* is FAR too big for any post but you can find that here. As you can see I moved the continents a bit around mainly because Hasbeenalia is so huge and I wanted the twin continents of Hasbeenalia and Noonecurria to form sort of a backwards L. A handful of countries cross continents (mainly islands like Sandénia, Varakë and PRoJ and then the whole region of Botanikka/Áskorza/Hendinia/N-Lazone is just straddling the border) and a few countries are further away from the main continent than on the separate continent pics but it felt better to keep them closer there just to save space. * Countries whose full names arent displayed on the big map: (TWIKANDE) LCH Liechtenstaan SHM The Land of the Shamrock (HASBEENALIA) BBL Bubblelands GKT Gacktistan HKY HackYack MKN Mykanovia HBR Hogan-Burg Republic KPR Keypopian Republic (NOONECURRIA) ARJ Armenijain CTR Camtoro DSB Desbuanda IMS Inner Massivia LTP Lotopialand LVL Leonville NRM New Rivermaya PHC Phinechendza RSL Rossland RVA Rivandia SGL Singing Gods Land SML Simondly TDP Triodopolis TOW Torchwood TSL Tyrannosaurusland UNS UnoShake (ORCHIDIA-QUILVORIA) CML Cumulonimbia KHR Kingdom of Horanius PRJ People's Republic of Jester VLK Vülkyria (MISKANTHA) AJN Ajaeneda HSH Hushkanukia MDH Medhelnia PGS Pagasa QFH Qärenfanghoney USJ United States of Jack UTP Utopia (OTHER) (CRF) Caerfyrddia Autonomous Region (PVB) PoisonVine Bay (Zanmatony Occupied Territory)
April 24, 20214 yr From what I could gather the following 13 countries are missing from the map but have participated in the past. If any of these are old names for countries that are on the map please let me know! Aeyundoré African Grey Ambienta Chestoria F.D. Anēné Lomaja Lookylion Moonland Sãó Ricó Sergeistan Syndare The Jasmine Masters Kingdom Wholune Also might make a small continent for the countries that were created but never entered.. maybe, we'll see lol if I'm bored enough!

April 24, 20214 yr Aeyundoré F.D. Anēné Lomaja Moonland Sãó Ricó Syndare The Jasmine Masters Kingdom All of these are just old names of countries who are on the map x (As for the countries who signed up but never entered, there were a few of those on the map when I originally took it over but I removed them - I guess you can add them back in if you want but I have no idea how complete that list is and don't really see the value of it anyway x)
April 24, 20214 yr Unclaimed Country Map Chestoria Lookylion Wholune (and anyone else who isn't on the map is also more than welcome to) UPDATE: WhoOdyssey (Wholune) messaged me and said they want #4 (in Vinorel) so that's now taken. Could you please each pick one of the 18* eligible countries from this map and post here in this thread? You can see more detailed maps of each continent here:MiskanthaVinorelWest & East TwikandeOrchidia & QuilvoriaHasbeenaliaNoonecurriaWorld Map* If you're confused as to how there's 18 eligible countries but the numbers go up to 20 it's because Arcodesia has already claimed #09 and Wholune has claimed #04.
April 24, 20214 yr wait what is syndare now? Their last few contests were under the name Helgon. They haven't entered for years now though (and I don't think Randy has even logged in for years either).
April 24, 20214 yr Tinypic going down means that I have lost my country map. However, when searching 'Hushkanukia' on Google Images it comes up! Might go for a wee bit of a rebrand and re-design it.
April 24, 20214 yr Their last few contests were under the name Helgon. They haven't entered for years now though (and I don't think Randy has even logged in for years either). </3
April 24, 20214 yr I like my new islands. :P Thanks for all the work you've put into these maps, Jafet.
