The Premier Nordic Themed Region of Nordic Lands

The Map has had several updates this weekend. If you were overlooked let us know.

Nordic Lands Map Rules

Part 1: Claiming Territory

1. Nations must reside in Nordic Lands for 30 consecutive days before a land claim will be accepted.
a) Joining the World Assembly will reduce this waiting period by 10 days
b) Joining our discord will reduce this waiting period by 5 days.
c) Claim sizes are limited to 120,000km^2 or 46,000 square miles.

2.The preferred method of submitting a claim is on the Map Claim channel on Discord. If you can not join the discord for reasons, then claims can be sent via Telegram to Nordic Lands AND Vaesland. Claims made via NLN RP, Factbook RP, on the RMB, or in the improper discord channel will not be added on the map.

3. Claims cannot encroach an active nation's territory without agreement between all nations involved, done by:
a) Nordic Lands News Roleplay (e.g. one nation RPs invading and the second nation RPs losing their territory rather than defending the border.) [PREFERRED BUT NOT ALWAYS REQUIRED]*
b) Direct confirmation via TG or Discord from ALL nations involved (even if the agreement is done in a public forum such as the RMB, I require private confirmation as well). [REQUIRED]

4. Claims cannot be unreasonably large.

5. Should be a continuous landmass, unless any of the following apply:
a) You are claiming an island chain.
b) You are claiming a coastal area with nearby islands.
c) You can explain (either RP in the NLN or through Factbooks) an in-character reason for being scattered.
(For information on claiming other areas such as through colonization, see Part 2: Rules for Expanding Territory)

Part 2: Expanding Territory
Note: Rules 1 & 2 for Part 2 are the same as Rules 3 & 4 for Part 1

1. Claims cannot encroach an active nation's territory without agreement between all nations involved, done by:
a) Nordic Lands News Roleplay (e.g. one nation RPs invading and the second nation RPs losing their territory rather than defending the border.) [PREFERRED BUT NOT ALWAYS REQUIRED]*
b) Direct confirmation via TG from all nations involved (even if the agreement is done in a public forum such as the RMB, I require private confirmation as well). [REQUIRED]

2. Claims cannot be unreasonably large.

Part 3: Losing Your Claimed Territory
(Or, “I was only gone for three months, where's my land?”)

1. Crashed nations will have a period of up to 7 days to restore their nation before being removed from the Nordic Lands Map. After this time, their land will become available for others to claim, unless any of the following apply:
a) A nation claims the crashed nation’s land, either by creating a protectorate, invading, or through other means, via the NLN. If the nation has been gone for 7 days (or 30, if a significant contributor to the region), a nation wishing to create a protectorate may TG me, and I will edit the map accordingly. Again, this is a situation where I will be much happier to grant your request if it is RP’d.
b) The nation has been banned by a moderator but still retains a puppet within the region through which the nation wishes to remain active.

2. Active nations that leave NL for another region will be removed from the map within a week.

(Note: This is a notification, not a warning. I will TG you to let you know that your claim is being removed, but I will not give you advance notice.)

3. Nations wishing to have their land claim removed may TG me and I will remove them from the map. This does not require an in-character explanation or NLN RP, but I will always encourage it.

*If all nations send me a confirming TG, I don't need the RP, but if the RP happens first, I'll still require confirmation via TG.

TL;DR: Basically, if you’re making a simple request such as adding another 50km to the north in unclaimed land or adding an island near the coast I'm probably gonna say yes. If it's something more significant, I like to see decent RP regarding the changes in territory. As long as it’s relatively plausible, and does not affect other established nations without their permission, I’m probably not going to refuse your request.

General Note: If you’re super uncomfortable/inexperienced with RP but really want a certain land change, let me know, I’m happy to figure something out. I am also happy to answer any questions you have about land claims, or about the map in general, just send me a TG.
