Map Continuation 3 - Map 5 - Mediccia (South America)

[Krall]

I'm getting the feeling that you have lied...

Lying, joking, it's all the same thing.

EDIT: I'd also like to make a comment concerning Terra Panthera, but large nations in general: it would be generally very difficult if not impossible to maintain control of the most inland areas you claimed without control of the Amazon basis, since traveling over land in such a heavily forested region is nigh impossible, with diseases and predators likely to take a very heavy toll. I'd say the most likely border for your country would be the Paraná.

minifidel raises a good point.

 

[Lelouch]

The Republic of Amacoria

 

[Trovador]

Costa Santa, a former paradise of sugar and cocoa plantations. It's now a small country that lives pretty much from exportation agriculture.

[What do you think about diving up this Navarran colony into something like the OTL Guyanas?]

 

[Krall]

The Republic of Amacoria

What's the origin of its name?

 

[minifidel]

I find it shocking that the most fertile lands in the continent haven't been touched yet.

Do you mean the bit in the north?

 

[Venice]

The last and only Padanian Colony on Mediccia, Padanian Sforzia.

Obviously named after the Milanese Grand Duke who brought the three states together.

 

[Lelouch]

What's the origin of its name?

It's an attempt to Italianize the name of the Venezuelan state "Delta Amacuro", which I'm assuming because I can't find a reference to an explorer or such was adapted from a native name for the river Amacuro.

 

[minifidel]

Do you mean the bit in the north?

No, I mean the Pampas, although more specifically, the area just on the border of Terra Panthera. It's a relatively thin strip of land, but it's a very fertile and very productive strip of land.

 

[Venice]

Isn't that OTL Paraguay?

 

[VT45]

Wait, what happened to Mór Cothrom Gaoth? I saw no veto for it.

I vetoed it:

Vetoed. Unrealistic and inconsistent.

Right, I've shifted a lot of countries about to try and make the place look better and make more sense. If you want to move your nations around a bit more, feel free to do so.

I've also claimed Stato di Altopiano, a former Padanian colony, now reliant on the nations around it to maintain its economy due to its landlocked nature.

 

[VT45]

I vetoed it:

Oh. I didn't see that. What would be a realistic Gaelic colony then?

 

[Venice]

What does Altopiano mean?

Alto-High
Piano-???

 

[minifidel]

Isn't that OTL Paraguay?

No, that land is centered around the territory of eastern Cordoba, southern Santa Fe, and northern Buenos Aires.

EDIT: Altopiano: would be Hign-plain, an elevated plain.

 

[Venice]

No, that land is centered around the territory of eastern Cordoba, southern Santa Fe, and northern Buenos Aires.

Oh, right. I see.

 

[Krall]

What does Altopiano mean?

Alto-High
Piano-???

I think it means "plateau". I'm pretty sure that area has some plateaus on it.

Altoplano is like a plateau, but a plateau on steroids. It is extremely immense, and is known for being cold and dry.

Really? Google just says "altopiano" means "plateau".

 

[VT45]

Really? Google just says "altopiano" means "plateau".

Well, it literally does mean "high plain," but the word "altoplano" is more commonly used to describe the entire biome.

Btw, you didn't answer my question.
