USSD - Regional Map

Please upvote this dispatch, it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain. Updated as of 3/08/2022 Mountain Time



To get a spot on the regional map, you must be a citizen of the USSD. To become a citizen all you need to do is join the World Assembly and endorse Ashenov. You must also telegram (or DM on Discord) Vetelo with the following information:
- Preference for colour you'd like on the map (optional)
- Description/location of the 4 provinces you'd like
- City (in real life) you'd like as your capital

READ THIS >A "province" refers to a section of white surrounded by black borders on the map, not to any real life territorial divisions

Important: If you do not include the provinces you want and your capital city in your map request, the request will be ignored. Colours may not be exactly what you chose, as I have a limited number to work with. When applying for a spot on the map, you may claim up to 4 provinces, or 8 provinces if you are a Politburo member. At the start of each month, you may telegram me and claim an additional province. You may only claim new provinces that you share a land or maritime border with. As the map starts to inevitably fill up, I will be removing CTEd nations and handling border disputes.

Other specific claiming rules:
- Don't claim at the start of a new month before the map claims announcement. I will always announce it before I start accepting claims for that month, sometimes early, sometimes late, so please wait
- No surrounding an unclaimed province or provinces with your own provinces (this also applies to surrounding other nations with your own provinces)
- When there is a name for an island group, that island group is considered a single province. However, sometimes small islands will be included in your claim just due to proximity. If you are unsure about whether or not this is the case, just ask
- If you run out of room to claim, you may claim the nearest landmass that you share a maritime border with. There will probably be a few exceptions, but within reason.

(I've been asked this one a lot) For claiming provinces, there are many ways you can be accurate in describing the province:
- Editing an image of your nation, including the new province in the image, and sending the image to me
- Finding the real life name of the region or city on the map
- Using specific cardinal directions (northwest, southeast, etc.)
