Whoopsie I let myself CTE again I'm such a bad NSer
put them in your dossier and check them weekly
page=dossier
I don't, and it sometimes results in my puppets CTEing.
I'll admit that I mostly only remember to log into other nations I'm responsible for when I see other people stewing over letting their puppets CTE :( It's one of the reasons why I stick to just the one nation.
This doesn't make you a bad NSer though! You need to be less hard on yourself - the skill at worldbuilding and gameplay that comes naturally to you is a real struggle for a lot of other people, and you should give those abilities the love and respect they deserve.
Hello, I've heard about the Great Calanian Desert and I have some questions about it. Where exacly it is located and what it's boundaries? I'm planning a larger nation in the area east and north east of Saint-Jean-Jacques and I'd like to know if my new larger borders will encompass the Great Calanian Desert.
My understanding was that it was in the south of the pre-Foxchester Calanian continent and not necessarily in your area, but I've sent up the cartography signal to some of the people who will remember (not me!)

Bostopia (Cardenao) is deeply concerned by continued Mertagnian warmongering in the region. Yesterday, it was us. Tomorrow, it will be you.

CAFA 9 or 10 should start on April Fools Day and every nation should use Audio's Helvitican names.
Ouņited Hewqualank is a badass puppet name.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Hey, the guy with the multiple long nation names here,
I tried to figure out how are time zones in Anaia and I modified Plough's map with time zone. In yellow it's the meridian line (like Greenwich) and in red are different time zones. By ATC I mean Anaian Time Coordinated (like UTC = Universal Time Coordinated). What do you think? Here's a direct link to imgur:

Appreciate the effort, but generally size and time tends to be more fluid than the concept of time zones really work for in a formal sense, IMO; I'm sure there's some time gap between one side of the region to the other, but formal delineation seems more limiting than useful; though you should totally feel empowered to use this as your own guide for time relations.
But aside from that, I'm dismayed to be reminded that the geographic center of Anaia (as much as the concept is a thing, see above) is just south of me, on the coast of a nation that's truly a Carendao dependency, and whose (clearly former) Emperor is Dead.
I really want to put a military base on it as part of the peace process. MNB Nullpoint anyone?
Heyo, Vilwandia puppet here. Possible use featuring us soon but joining pre-emptively :D
For what it's worth (not much), I tend to agree with this. I did play around at one point with doing a 'time zone' map that grouped territories by how time passes in that nation - see https://nssportwiki.com/wiki/index.php/OOC:Time - rather than the relative hours of the day. Unfortunately the results tend to look nothing like actual time zones :(
Looks cool! I mean sure, time is fluid everywhere, but I wouldn't mind us having something like this to show how far forward/back our characters will be setting their watches when they travel. Sure, the years are different, but we might be able to agree on what time lunch happens.
Personally I'd have the time-zones be a bit bigger (thus making the region seem to take up a little less space), and maybe designate a city for the 0-degrees line to go through? Jhanna would work, Port Anaia too.

Thanks for the insight. I figured out time is fluid and not everyone is on the same year and a cycle could be 1 year for someone, 2 for another one and 4 for someone else. I thought we could all agree on, for example if I play in Bostopia, it could start at 19h45 local time but at 18h45 my time. Though it's hard to figure out if I play in Cardenao because they are in two time zones according to my map and their capital city is in the middle of the two zones.
Time zones don't have to be straight lines - take a look at Spain and the Canary Islands for instance (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/World_Time_Zones_Map.png). If you went by straight lines, Spain should be on the same timezone as London and the Canaries should be an hour behind - yet for political reasons this isn't the case. There is, therefore, a good chance that all of Cardenao is in the same time zone, and the entirety of the Ochres might be in the same timezone as Cardenao also. I RP Bostopia as being about the size of the 48 continuous American states so it's likely split over 3 or 4 timezones.
And therein, sadly, lies the difficulty in the very commendable project you're trying to run. A good idea might be to say to people 'if we took [this line] as AMT (Anaian Meridian Time), how would you expect your nation to fit into that?' Then make a map going forward from that.
I'll start. I think the Ochres are entirely within AMT -2. Now you know for a further revision that the relevant line has to go around the Ochres and not split them in two :)
Another problem is that on the map, for fuzzy reasons, the Ochres are oversized and Bostopia is undersized. I have no idea how you'd get 4 timezones across Bostopia.
In any case, I'd be happy to agree with you something like a set timezone without need of a map. Could be factbook worthy.
I vaguely remember there being time zones on the map before the button was pressed. It's a cool idea. But yeah, it's tricky here for various reasons. People can still put heads together and come up with a sort-of-consensus, ignoring nations whose users don't want to be involved.
I understand your point Ochre, it seems difficult to reach a consensus. I like the idea of a set timezone for each nation. Maybe we can all claim a time zone (or more than one) for our nations without considering the map or our neighbors' claims?
Or we could try to reach a consensus like Osarius says and ignore nations who don't want to be part of it? Though I don't wanna lead discusions about a consensus.
This Calls for a Google Form!
