Confirming interest in keeping your plot
#1
Exclamation 
Fellow residents of TSP and roleplayers,

it is time for another purge of the map. With the transition to Discourse, the map management team has decided on revising the rules for claiming a plot on our official map. Those were announced first by @Qwert over on the TSPRP-Discord server on 8 August 2022.
According to the new rules, any person owning a plot must not only have a nation on NationStates in TSP, but must also have the intent to roleplay. Furthermore the chosen nation name must sound reasonable/realistic!

Other major changes to our rules include cool-down periods to claim a second and third plot, the plan to regularly conduct "purges" to clean the map of inactive nations (Unlike this one here, purges will not be advertised broadly in the future anymore!!!) and a more precise definition of "permanent nations":
Quote:6. Permanent nations
a) In order to preserve the common regional canon history when a claim meets the removal criteria, they may be protected from removal as “permanent nation(s)” under the following conditions:
  1. the nation they belong to has played a crucial role in the IC history of several nations that belong to active roleplayers, and/or
  2. has had a leading role in the establishment and/or roleplay of a canon international organisation or equivalent
b) It is under the map management’s volition to grant nations permanence. Players can nominate other players’ nations for permanence.
  1. “Nation with major significance” - all plots the player has claimed remain on the regional map. The status is granted to all nations with major significance to the canon’s history, e.g. main participants of the GW or groups of nations that developed a solid common history for a region on the map (e.g. X-Med, X-Frastinia)
  2. “Nation with referencial significance” - the nation with referencial significance will be removed from the regional map, but they can still be considered to exist and canon in another part of the world on the extra-TSP lands (e.g. nowadays inactive WF founding states, IUFA/PSC participants), because they are continuously referenced in RP in that capacity. The status can be granted retroactively.
  3. Permanent nations and their status will be shown on the forum and/or TSPedia.

There are several nations currently protected by a status of permanence similar to what is defined here as "nation with major significance", however we still ask every player to fill out the form below completely and truthfully.

The map management team/roleplay moderation team will decide, whether some of the currently permanent nations may be demoted to being a nation with referencial significance or whether a new nation gets granted some level of permanence. You may nominate nations too, that you think would deserve permanence under our new rules. Please provide an explanation, why you think the nations should be protected from erasure from our canon.

There is currently still no ETA for the start of the new forum, however as things currently stand, the change shall allegedly not happen until after the first week of September, thus we'll give you time until 4 September 2022, 24:00 h CEST (~2 weeks) to post, whether you want to stay on the map (and be active in our roleplay community in the near- to mid-term future). Please be aware, that we define "roleplay" for our map solely as roleplay in the Pacifica canon, so if you have the intent to roleplay, but over on the RMB or only in the Aurora canon, we cannot grant you a plot on the map.

Name(s) of your nation(s): Doge Land (+ Shibe Islands)
[ ] The name(s) of my nation(s) sound(s) realistic.
[X] The name(s) of my nation(s) could be unrealistic. I provide following reason, why the nation is named like this: In Doge Land, there is an abundance of dogs. So naturally, the original settlers of Doge Land would call themselves dog land, right? No. They just called themselves Dog. In standard Doge Landian, the word for dog is spelled dusy and pronounced /dɑse/, however in south-coastal Doge Landian dialect, where the Austral Empire first encountered Doge Landians, ɑ becomes o and s becomes d͡ʒ, which causes dase to sound like doge. So, the Austral Empire comes, sees people calling themselves "doge," and calls the land they live in Doge Land and the people they meet Doge Landians. Over time, however, the denonym that Doge Landians have for themselves changed from dusy (dog) to Etmtsllesy. Nobody's sure why it happened, but the exonym still stuck and that's why it's called Doge Land.

Shibe Islands I would think are pretty simple. Doge Land has shibes, so they name the islands after the shibe. And then islands because they are islands. Shibe Islands.

If the map management team does not think, the name sounds realistic or cannot follow the provided reasoning:
[X] I provide following more realistic alternative names to choose from: Weccandia (I don't really want to use this name for Doge Land but if you must, I can deal with it)
