Minimum two, maximum... as many as you want.

so Austronesian-Japanese-Indian battle royale it is then

Good thing I have this idea about the world divided into many alliances right now; I've posted my WIP map in the appropriate section.

Reviving my suggestions 2: electric boogaloo:

I Am Error: Make a map depicting a nation or border anomaly created by mistake (e.g. Minnesota's Northwest Angle).
It's Dangerous to Go Alone: Make a map depicting a nation or region who has managed to prosper/start winning thanks to foreign aid.
It's a Secret to Everyone: Make a map depicting the aftermath of the revealing to the public of a territorial change or treaty that has been kept secret for years.

Oooh. I have the perfect scenario that's been rolling around my head for a couple of years now. Let's see if I can get my wifi on my computer working again so I can, you know, post things and such.

Can we use the framework of a work of fiction for the map (like a prequel, sequel or unofficial fanfic)?

Yes, maps can use settings from existing works of fiction. If the work is not well known, you may wish to provide a link to the source material.

Just letting Kaiphranos know there is a map in the works

 

[TheKutKu]

Working on a map too, although it's kinda large and I'm not sure i can finish it for March 9th. Probably not with a write up at least

 

[Comte de Dordogne]

I wanted to participate but unfortunately I have had many white partials and I will never find the time to finish.

I won't say it is 100% certain yet, but with no entries so far, it is pretty likely that this round will go an additional week.

Me, I have already dropped out partly due to me not having fancy graphics skills and being unable to come up with something unique while using worlda.

On the contrary, I think that the map contest is an opportunity to try different "experiments" that we wouldn't necessarily have found without the contest. Moreover even if the map may seem simple, it can also be magnified if the colors, textures or simply its History is interesting. Finally, the more participants there are, the more fun you have.

I'm probably not making it this time... I've been very busy lately and whenever I get time to actually work on a map for the contest it ends up looking ugly...

 

[Etruscan-enthusiast35]

I wonder, has it ever happened where somebody won because they were the only entry?

Single party competition. 🙃
