I just bought the Earth

The world map (http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8449/themap11.png)

Some guy with a big hat and a plaid jacket sold me the planet Earth for a couple pieces o' eight a couple days back. I only now realise I have no idea what to do with the thing, so I've decided to give it all away. Not all to one person of course, there'd be no fun in that. Instead, I will give away parts of it to different people and watch them rule their country as they see fit and warring between them and stuff.
So in this thread you can ask for a region of the world.
You cannot rule more than 50 million people so some countries will have to be broken up and some will be joined together. The largest cities can be city-states.
Tell me how you will rule your 'kingdom' (empires welcome too), how you will develop it and how you will treat your peasants and stuff You can rename your countries if you like.
You cannot request the Caribbean, however. I'm keeping that for myself.
EDIT: It is recommended, especially if you want a region that is in high demand (Like New York or Britain), that you give me good reasons to give it to you (Think 50 metre high statues of me).
EDIT2: I got Mr. Winslow to make me a map of the world as it is now. Please check the map before trying to claim a country, because it may already be claimed by someone else.

Can I rule Japan or Britain?

SCANDINAVIA: LAND OF DELIGHT*
Population: About 16m
Current status: 5 seperate countries, and those that aren't from Finland tend to make jokes about how the Finns are disordered, foul smelling, and don't use sat nav.


Significant Miscellaneous Activities

Government base to be placed underneath one of Iceland's inactive volcanoes. That looks so cool when evil bases are underneath volcanoes. But vigorous research to be done first because I don't want to be doing my works and find out that my base is spewing ash everywhere.
All countries to be remerged into "cape wow". If members of Denmark complain about how they're now seen as equal to Finland, then Finland may need to be renamed "cape wow lite"
All telltale employees/fans to have full access to all of cape wow's glorious amenities.
Social benefits

People in Scandanavia are already generally well off. Two countries have labelled internet access a human right, and they didn't need to do anything because everyone already had internet access pretty much. I'll find more cheap tricks like this to pull off and make every other country jealous of us.
Liberties

Pretty much total. My job is mostly to make sure nobody challenges my job. Everything that does not physically prevent another's will or damage another's property is legal. Yeah... That thing scandinavians do with the chickens and the whipped cream? Even that.
More policies to come...

[jeeno0142]

I demand the ocean. My argument for allowing me to have it is that while it does cover most of the Earth, I would be ruling over no-one. People are of course free to travel across it and fish, but anyone caught polluting or anything like that will be taken care of by my new highly trained team of sharks and killer whales. That'll teach 'em.

[apenpaap]

Can I rule Japan or Britain?
Japan has a lot more people than I will allow you to rule. Pick a region. Britain is only slightly over 50 million, but I think the place could be in pretty high demand, so pick Scotland, England, or Wales.

Bagsy scandinavia, will develop my ideas in edits
That's no way to talk to the ruler of the world. I'd refuse your request, except you're requesting Scandinavia. I could use someone with your attitude in charge of the former Vikings. Speaking of which, Scandinavia has been lacking in the "sailing to distant shores and plundering them" department the past millenium. I sure hope your ideas will include pillaging.

I like it. When Winslow drew up the current version of the world map, he forgot Iceland and Denmark are parts of Scandinavia too, but he'll remedy it in a future version of the map. Secret government base in one of Iceland's volcanoes is a great idea. Just don't forget I want to see Longboats show up on Europe's shores again.

I'm not giving you the oceans. While they stay under the population limit, it would mess up my map. You can get a package deal of a couple of seas, though, if you want water.

[Remolay]

Johto.
Now, in all seriousness, I can't think of one for Japan, so Scotland.

[Ribs]

Coruscant. No, wait, Gallifrey. No, wait... FRANCE!

[apenpaap]

Very well, Scotland is yours.

[Shwoo]

Johto.

Johto is based on Kansai. And Kanto is based on Kanto.

[Giant Tope]

I think I'll take the Pacific Northwest region. I love this place too much. More to come.

[RingmasterJ5]

Uhh, I'll have Tokyo.

This is one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever seen on this forum.

[caeska]

I would like to requisition Australia. While it is a big continent, it is only about 20 million people. Besides, I will get rid of the silly AFL and make soccer the new national sport.
Furthermore, heavily armed naval bases will be set up all along the north coast to protect against the treacherous Chinese.
I'll think of more things that will need doing.

[Ashton]

I cant have all of Russia it seems (140M), so I'll just take Siberia (36M). I like the Russian Philosophy. Mess with us and you don't ever do it again. Siberia will make a nice torture... I mean... rehabilitation... facility for the new world empire!

We will also be carefully breeding Siberian Tigers for use in obscure military operations...

[Remolay]

See, I was going to say Kanto, but I didn't remember if Kanto was the one based on a region of the same name

[Ribs]

See, I was going to say Kanto, but I didn't remember if Kanto was the one based on a region of the same name

Meh, I like to think of it as Kanto = Japan to Johto's Europe, Hoenn = Australia, Sinnoh= Russia even though it isn't a continent, and New One is North America apparently. So we still need some Africa and South America.

[Remolay]

yeah, the new one is New York

[Alcoremortis]

I would like to request Tibet because of its easily defensible position. No one will be a match for my Sherpas! Especially over 13,000 feet.

Also, I will have a monopoly over the exclusive market of crazy mountain-climber-tourists.

Hehehe, I've been granted Greenland, which I wasn't expecting. More to play with :D

[Fealiks]

CANADA PLZ.

As new ruler of Canada, I would put into effect the following laws:

1. All people must, at all times, be wearing a condom. This will prevent disease, illness and babies.

2. Every 23 year old in the country is a part of the military. Before 23, citizens will dedicate their lives solely to training how to be killers. After 23, they are killed. This is the highest Honour a New Canadian can receive.

3. The military's main weapon is a unicorn that shoots exploding rainbows from its horn and has ammo strapped to its sides (every marine gets one of these).

4. If you do not name your unicorn something awesome, you are killed immediately.

5. The military's uniform is a suit made of knives and explosions

6. The Currency is the New Canadian Fistpunch. It is a punch administered from the fist to the face. Rather than saying, for instance, "You can have this HDTV for $250", a shop assistant would now say "You can't have this HDTV *fistpunch*", to which the response would be "Give me the TV, [preferred expletive] *fistpunch", and whoever is conscious by nightfall gets to keep the HDTV.

7. The national religion is Bacon. I am the deity. I will eat only bacon, as will all of my followers. The three commandments are: 1. Eat Bacon 2. (see 1) 3. DON'T NOT BE EATING BACON. The punishment for not adhering to the commandments is death.

8. The punishment for every crime, in fact, is death. If you are so much accused of being even tangentially involved in any crime, you are put to death. The only exception to this is if the crime in question is considered badass enough by a panel of jurors. For instance,
if a person blew up an orphanage with a huge explosion and then put it out with a waterfall, they would not be punished. If they just kicked an orphan to death, however, they might well be punished a little bit (i.e., death).

[Remolay]

As ruler of scotland I enforce:
Replace Demomen with Heavy Weapons Guys.
Please, Wear something underneath the kilt.
Sean Connery must read all announcements from the ruler

Bother, too late! Maybe I could share with you and have the western bit?:D If I only have a part, can I also have Brighton in England? I'm happy to share the rest of England with someone else, I just want the seaside...

[Avistew]

If they haven't been taken yet, I'd like to take Canada and the upper third of France.

[apenpaap]

Coruscant. No, wait, Gallifrey. No, wait... FRANCE!
If they haven't been taken yet, I'd like to take Canada and the upper third of France.

Since we have two requests for France, and it is too populous to be ruled by one person anyway, I'll cut it in two. Avistew, you get the northern half, and StLouisRibs gets the southern half.

I think I'll take the Pacific Northwest region. I love this place too much. More to come.

Sure. The Pacific Northwest is yours.

Uhh, I'll have Tokyo.

This is one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever seen on this forum.

Good policies for a happier Canada. I'm throwing in part of the USA's Midwest too. They could use you there.

My friend has requested Congo, saying he'll use it's natural resources to become an Evil Overlord and eventually take over the world. He decided to name it after Blofeld himself.

Can I get the Coral Sea then? Or the part of Australia with the Great Barrier Reef attached? Please.

[Fealiks]

You can have one of my beaches if you want. Does CANADA PLZ even have beaches?

[Falanca]

Norway please. It'll be a perfect place to spend a lifetime for me once I change their ugly looking language. Changing its cuisine is also a good idea. It seems to be needing more cow meat.

[RingmasterJ5]

Uhh, I'll also have New England.

[Falanca]

Oh and, can I have Kentucky too? Or maybe Istanbul? Since Norway's population is only like 15mil or something...

[apenpaap]

Eastern Australia is caeska's, so you'll have to take that up with him, but I can give you New Zealand and the Coral Sea.

Norway is part of doodinthemood's Scandinavia: Land of Delight. Kentucky or Istanbul would be okay, though.

What are you going to do with it?

Whoops. :o Well, I hope you like the Northwest Pacific too. There's probably a couple of nice tropical islands in there.

If I can have England, I'll invite you all round for tea and crumpets

Nice. Brighton is skeeter's colony, but you can have the rest.

[jeeno0142]

I can give you New Zealand and the Coral Sea.

Already wrote this once... my computer deleted it. Here I go again:

Nice! I'll take them! But since New Zealand is a population of about 4 million, can I also have Easter Island? If I cannot have both then the Easter Island and the Coral Sea will do very nicely.

Now then, for Easter Island I would make it my home. I would also introduce a holiday whereby someone hides a hundred easter eggs in varying location throughout the Island on Easter day. This will then make the name Easter Island more appropriate. Every local and tourist will have to take part in this yearly event.

For the Coral Sea, as I said before, I will send out my trained specialists, the sharks, to anyone who dares try and pollute the area.

And if I am granted New Zealand, then I will begin by changing it's name to Zealand. It's not very new afterall. It's been around for a while now. I would then give more land to the Maori, who are the local tribes people. My understanding is that they just don't have enough room. Everything else seems to be doing just fine in Zealand. It's even a hotspot for film makers!

[Falanca]

Norway is part of doodinthemood's Scandinavia: Land of Delight. Kentucky or Istanbul would be okay, though.

WTH DUDE I WANT NORWAY. Without Norway, having Kentucky or Istanbul would be MEANINGLESS. The only reason I want those two is that I'll treat them like step children and they'll always be jealous of Norway.

Sorry, I have already given it away gathering an army against me would be useless, as Scandinavia is no longer mine. Gathering it against doodinthemood would be a much better idea. I'll give you Svalbard. It'll be a nice place to stage an attack on Norway from, and I hear it's not completely frozen over yet at this time of year.
Should you decide to raise that army against me, though:
ARR! I'll be ready for ye, ye landlubberin' bilgerat!

[GaryCXJk]

Okay, it's yours. I hope you'll execute all professional Dutch singers.

Naw, I need them to fund the video gaming industry, to create one of the baddest video game console: The Dutchpad. Or something.

[jeeno0142]

Woo! Thank you! Now I just have to hope no one attacks me. I think I'm army-less. Perhaps I ought to sort that out...

Hey apenpaap, can we establish a trade route? I'll give you bacon if you give me eyepatches and stuff.

[Remolay]

I can give you bagpipes and kilts.

[Secret Fawful]

I'll take North America. I'll name it Hyrule, then change my name to King Ganondorf Dragmire. If the Hero of Time shows up to conquer serve me and my reign of terror love, I'll kill recruit him. You will have free access to as much restorative Lon Lon Milk as you prefer, as well as your own cow and horse. Free of charge.

Matey, we allways want more trade through our waters. It's a deal.

You will have free access to as much restorative Lon Lon Milk as you prefer, as well as your own cow and horse. Free of charge.

Sorry, too large. You can get a couple of states or a piece of Mexico, though.

I'll take Tasmania and make it a seperate nation. And I'll build theme parks on it that PWN all the ones on mainland Australia to make them jel-aous.

Okay. That means once someone claims Papua New Gunea, the entire Australian continent has been taken.

wait wait wait. I still haven't gotten my part. I own the northwestern portion of America as well as the western coast of Canada.

You did get a nice piece of ocean, though.
I'll take the Vatican City I've got big plans for the Catholic Church.

Okay. You couldn't be any worse than it's current ownership, so go ahead.

Can I haz Romania? Nobody wants it anyway, due to all the vampires...

Silverwolfpet, I appoint thee Vampire Lord of Romania.

[Avistew]

I rename my half of France "Fravi" because I lack imagination.
I'm going to focus on tourism, especially Paris.
Also, I'd like to take Belgium as well, since I'm still under the 50 million allowed.

And I treat my peasants right. Actually I have a parliamentary monarchy so I don't have to deal with all that stuff, there is a Prime Minister for that. I'm still the Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTuSi126LJw) though, meaning that SeanT and Ragabash are both Kings. I hereby declare an alliance with whichever territories they might own (although they're probably both too busy to play this game).

[Falanca]

Fiine. Istanbul and Kentucky. I want to replace the names of both with each other just for the confusion and the lulz. Oh and, thicker wrap doughs for KFC's Toasted Twister!

As for the whole country's name, I'm thinking of naming it Norway to make it up the fact that I was unable to get the real Norway. Then I'll cry at my misfortune.

[RingmasterJ5]

I still want the entire East Coast.

[GaryCXJk]

I'll rename the Netherlands to Da Netherlands. Because iz gangsta.

[Remolay]

Okay, it's now the Isle of Freeman. I sure hope Remolay didn't build something cool there already.

S'all right, only thing up there was a statue in tribute to The Freeman. Awesome pose with a crowbar andallthat.


note to self: Never type an all that as one word

[Friar]

Japan has a lot more people than I will allow you to rule. Pick a region. Britain is only slightly over 50 million, but I think the place could be in pretty high demand, so pick Scotland, England, or Wales.


That's no way to talk to the ruler of the world. I'd refuse your request, except you're requesting Scandinavia. I could use someone with your attitude in charge of the former Vikings. Speaking of which, Scandinavia has been lacking in the "sailing to distant shores and plundering them" department the past millenium. I sure hope your ideas will include pillaging.

Secret government base in one of Iceland's volcanoes is a great idea. Just don't forget I want to see Longboats show up on Europe's shores again.




I'm not giving you the oceans. While they stay under the population limit, it would mess up my map. You can get a package deal of a couple of seas, though, if you want water.
Actually it's past 70million now.

I rename my half of France "Fravi" because I lack imagination.
I'm going to focus on tourism, especially Paris.
Also, I'd like to take Belgium as well, since I'm still under the 50 million allowed.

I doubt anyone else wants Belgium anyway, so it's yours.

Fiine. Istanbul and Kentucky. I want to replace the names of both with each other just for the confusion and the lulz. Oh and, thicker wrap doughs for KFC's Toasted Twister!

As for the whole country's name, I'm thinking of naming it Norway to make it up the fact that I was unable to get the real Norway. Then I'll cry at my misfortune.

Hehehe, guess Svalbard really cooled you down, eh? Okay, the state of Istanbul and the city-state of Kentucky are yours. I want Svalbard back, though. It'll be a great place to send other people who threaten to rise up against me.

I still want the entire East Coast.

You already have Tokio and New England. What would you do if I gave you the rest of the East Coast?

i call india

No can do. Capitalization is very important. It makes the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse yesterday." and "i had to help my uncle jack off a horse yesterday." Such differences could prove disastrous (And not in a good and/or funny way) in the hands of a head of state. And even if you did capitalize, India is way too populous.

Can I claim the Peoples Republic of China? It shall soon no longer belong to the people! Muahahahaha!

Nope. You can rule over a maximum of 50 million people.

[Alcoremortis]

Can I request an addition?

If so, I would like the Isle of Ewe. Just because of the name. :D

[Klatuu]

Hi,

I have a few small requests...

Madagascar used to be a pirate haven, so I'll request that since the Caribbean has been taken.

And, in a complete twist, I'd also like to request Hawaii, which I shall rename Ninjamaica, as a haven for ninjas.

Also, a small parcel of land somewhere in Europe which is to be named Freedonia, and shall be overseen by Rufus T. Firefly.

And one more, if it's not too much trouble: San Rafael, CA

I shall oversee my far-reaching empire from my orbiting death ray. (I bought orbiting rights from the big-hatted guy. Had to get credit from the storekeeper.)

In recompense for this lengthy request, I shall build a monument in your honor, The Apenpaaparthenon.

[RingmasterJ5]

You already have Tokio and New England. What would you do if I gave you the rest of the East Coast?

I would make Tokyo and D.C. two parts of a huge Telltale theme park. The only way between parks is by Telltale-themed planes.

[Falanca]

Hehehe, guess Svalbard really cooled you down, eh? Okay, the state of Istanbul and the city-state of Kentucky are yours. I want Svalbard back, though. It'll be a great place to send other people who threaten to rise up against me.

You can have it. I can't even spell the name. Thou shall not rule unless ye spell.

I rename the newly united lands of Istanbul and Kentucky; Kenstantinople: Land of pirated copies of Windows 7 served with coleslaw. Or just Kenstantinople. I might use that long line for our new anthem.

[Icedhope]

Did anyone call Transylvania and or the surrounding regions, if not I'll take them.

I can do better. How about this "Can i have India?"

[Falanca]

I can do better. How about this "Can i have India?"

I like the way you still resist capitalizing when you address yourself.

I think the real reason why you couldn't get the land is because it's simply too populated. It would be unfair.

The first post states rules, and the rules say "no more than 50 million people". Canada has like 30 million, while India has what, a billion?
It's divided not by size but population, so you'll have to take that into account.

I'll consider it. I'm too lazy to make a new map now anyway, so I have some time to think about it.

I would make Tokyo and D.C. two parts of a huge Telltale theme park. The only way between parks is by Telltale-themed planes.
You already have the technological capital of the world, and will thus receive millions of geek pilgrims. Your empire is large enough.

Silverwolfpet took all of Romania.

I can do better. How about this "Can i have India?"
No. It's too populous.

One man got all of Canada and part of the United States
Yeah, but there are living like 30 Canadians and 20 Rednecks in the area I gave him, while even giving you a single Indian train would be over the 50 million people limit.

Can I have Madagacar?

Klatuu asked for it first, and he's going to build a monument in my honour.

[Giant Tope]

why are you

[Icedhope]

He can not take all of Romania, well I'll just PM him, and see about that...I at least want Dracula's Castle.

Well!! We're four pages in guys! I guess there's no hope in calling Ire...

Easter Island is claimed by the nation of Zealand.

I demand the majority of undeeded present and former Communist territory... FOR THE PROLETARIAT!

That's a bit too populous. Could you specify what part you want?

No, I didn't misspell honour. You misspelled "Svalbard", though. Have fun being it's next ruler.

Since Tokyo is taken, I want New York City. The name will remain the same but now everyone that lives there is gonna be kicked out unless they provide a service that is relevant to me. Also, we'll get to work on staging giant monster battles right away. I'm not sure what the new Tokyo government's viewpoint on giant monster battles is, but if they are still allowing them then our monsters will be better. Unless you're willing to loan us Godzilla for a bit to do a crossover, in which case you guys are cool with the New York City government. By the way, my borders should contain some waters around Manhattan(possibly an entire ocean?) for aquatic monster battles and ship combat, as well as ships randomly carrying gigantic stores of gold to give the pirate nation something to loot.

In the open ocean, far from anyone else's border, enforced darwinism would be in effect. If two boats meet in the ocean, they must fight. If they do not, my fleet will intervene by fighting them. Such is the law of the ocean: You must fight for your keep to the bitter end. Also, I get to keep anything that hits the ocean floor after the loser sinks. Them's the rules of the sea.

Turkey has more than 70 million people, so I have to trim quite a bit of it's eastern parts to keep you under 50 million. But the western parts are yours.
