[Gian]

After I'm done creating a Turkestani team, I'll be posting a joint-bid between them and Iran

 

[Baconheimer]

@Gian since you already have two nations, I'd ask that you not do a third until other people get a chance to do a second nation. The same goes for everyone else that has already done a second nation.

Also @wolfhound817 do you still plan on acting on your claim for Galicia-Lodomeria?

No thanks sorry

 

[Capibara]

I'd like to claim OTL New Zealand for my second team.

 

[Gian]

This is probably a placeholder until about a week or so (just to give time for other peoples to get their own second nations in. I'm still making the map, and I also want @Uebeltank's response because I kind of want Xinjiang for this...)

I assumed it was void for that reason. At least it needs to be way less wanky.

 

[Yanranay]

Did we agree to declare the Finnish Empire void, or is it just by mistake that it is omitted from the map, @Yanranay and @Baconheimer ?

I decided to disregard it until we agreed to allow second submissions

 

[Aztekk]

I have decided to withdraw my Finnish Empire bid for now, so we avoid confusion.

 

[Gian]

@Baconheimer - You forgot Turkestan in your list of participants btw.

The map should thus be updated like so (@Uebeltank already agreed to give Xinjiang to me):
