Micronational Cartography Society

Dear All,
Since the last map update, we've gained several new citizens, such as Yohann Et Izo Sarwa, Philoxenos Shaya Iwas, and Massoud Zakka Iwas.
This means our forum activity has increased greatly.
As such, may I ask if an expansion such as this one would be OK?

This expansion gives us access to both Shores of Cibola and gets rid of the strange no-mans' land between Matbaa and Monovia as well as the unnoccupied part of Mar Saba.
I have also added provincial names to all of the regions for the next map.
I hope this claim is acceptable.
Regards,
H.H Abbot Zatriarch Maximillideus I

P.S Who does the city of Birka belong to, and why is marked in unclaimed territory?

I don't see a problem with the claim. It's small enough.


As for Birka. I haven't got a bloody clue! It looks like a fluke in the map....

Before the Atkins Reduction Birka belonged to Treisenberg.

looking through the old maps, cities used to stay a while after their country had died...

Oh well. I'll just Syraicify Birka and keep it as a Matbaic city.
I know I may be pushing it a bit here, but is there a possibility I could claim a smidgen more land?

Pushing it?

Remember that random events idea I had?

Do you want an Bamian-esque earthquake?

I thought not.


And I'll remove Birka entirely.

Do you think I could add a tiny bit more land and another three cities?

Right- here is the final MCS claim including the new provinces, cities, and the new province added under the expansion agreement we had with Alexandria. I hope it's OK.

The expansion agreement has been withdrawn today by myself. Alexandria will be filing a new claim soon.

Umm.. Ryan?
Do you think I'd be able to add the two biggest islands from the old Aerlig Archipelago to the Matbaic claim?

As far as I know the image in the original post is the approved claim. You have access to the central sea of Cibola, the "Gold Sea".

OK, we'll leave the above as our original claim and expand some more later.

No, actually.
Having seen the size of Oscland and Monovia's claims, I believe Matbaa should merit a bit more land. With your permission I'd like to claim the islands formerly under Aerlig's control known as Maraguo and Nelaga. I think that seems fair.

Yes, Monovia, Matbaa, and Oscland are extremely active and deserve a fair amount of land.

Perhaps you could wait a bit, you've just had an expansion, even if ti wasn't what you wanted. In some weeks you'll be perhaps able to claim much more. Editing the maps because of whims isn't really pleasant, you know.

Well do you think Monovia's expansion will be approved or do you think it is too much?

I think you it will be fine.. if there is uncertainty I'll sponser for a waiver

Thank you.

Pick one of those islands, Max. And that's it.

Waiver or no waiver.

And I'm going to issue a warning now that if this waiver business gets out of hand as a loophole to bypass the staff, I will eliminate it. It's mean't to be used as a tool of community support for exceptional circumstance, not abuse and not for everyday claims.

I thankee, Ryan
Maragua shall be the one island to add to our claim, thankyou.

*ahem*
May I just draw to your attention, Ladies and Gentlemen of this most esteemed Cartographic Society for Internet Micronations, that the Zatriarchate now has another citizen? Yes, that's right. His name is Sfeir Afudyakno, known more commonly to you as Colonel Wilhelm Von Benkern. Anyway, would it be possible to claim a small (I'm talking small here) colony on the Western coast of Novasolum, just south of Gotzborg?
Thankyou
The Zatriarch
