Oh look what the cat dragged in. You dare show yourselves in this respectable role play!? Have you no decency!? 

I jest I jest. XD

The map is okay, but I think I'll let players maybe claim more than in plot as long as they're adjacent to each other. That way of someone wants some larger nation, they can have it. Of course I'll use discretion on this and make sure nobody abuses that. 

But yeah, overall I like the map idea. Thanks for carving it all up for us.
