Continuing on from the last one. We'll still discuss the history of Eurasia and North Africa, and as of this post there is still room on that thread's map for countries.
You are definitely allowed to create new lines in this Americas map, many of the preexisting provinces are somewhat arbitrary.
Also, here are topographic maps of large sections of the Americas:
Argentina
USA
Canada
Mexico
Brazil
Colombia
Peru
All America
Here's the first post of the other one, which has maps of the world in 1700 and the rules:

Another one. This time we'll just move on to the next region instead of deliberating on history and having the game die. History will be discussed the entire time rather than just at the end.

For those new to it:
Post a name of a country and add it to the map. Once a region of the world (one region per thread) is completed, we will move onto the next region--the regions are, "Eurasia and North Africa", "Sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania", and "The Americas".
We will discuss the world's history all while we add to the map.
The map is not on this post because it'd stretch it out and make it nigh-impossible to read.
Important rules and info:
- THE POD IS 1700. This means no Aragon, no Leon, no al-Andalus, no Byzantine Empire, no Kingdom of Burgundy, etc., unless you have a really good explanation.
- THE CURRENT YEAR IS 2011.
- YOU MUST CLAIM BEFORE YOU POST A MAP, SO THAT YOU DON'T CONFLICT WITH ANYONE ELSE'S NATIONS.
- REALISM.
- IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO USE THE PROVINCES ALREADY ON THE MAP, THOUGH IF YOU HAVE TO, YOU CAN CREATE NEW LINES. New lines are very recommended in Africa and North America.
- ONCE YOU HAVE FILLED IN YOUR NATION, EITHER COLOR THE INTERNAL BORDERS GREY, OR GET RID OF THEM ENTIRELY. If you claim a large nation, you absolutely must do this or else your nation is disregarded, unless you claim later to fix your nation yourself, in which case it's just fine.
