>>32753039I'll write up a rentry on the province system real quick, but the short version is that we're reforming the map to make it so that unrepped nations are broken down into provinces that can be claimed by new nations when their reps arrive, rather than keeping the map full of useless unrepped nations, largely loreless, nations that you can't interact with.
Why are we doing this?
>It will prevent the time loop we have every time a thread appears where we scramble to find a space on the map for them, usually at the expense of an unrepped nation, which leaves the new rep waiting up to a week to be able to begin writing. This is especially pertinent as we're expecting HoloEN3 to debut this year.>It will allow people to more easily adjust their borders if they don't like them.>It will prevent the "Can I change my climate/location/topography?" time loop we get every time a new rep enters the thread>It will prevent people from writing lore that is dependent on a neighboring unrepped thread, or writing lore for an unrepped thread, that will potentially box in future reps or be ruined when the new rep chooses to do something contrary to what was written by someone else.I'll begin writing the rentry now.
If anyone wants to make count arguments or concerns I'll be happy to list them in the document as well.
