Guidelines
1. You can add land, a nation you own, or both
2. You can only add other people's nations or change them if you get their permission
3. Anyway can change the land, but have a reason if you're doing more than just adding on so that you can fit a nation.
4. No trolling, like making 1 pixel islands all over the map, or half the map, etc.
5. Borders are 2 pixels thick. Unless anyone has a better idea.
6. Keep your nations a resonable size

Kallisto: ~136k people/pixel

i added kallisto, maybe the southwest section would be connected to a larger 'mainland'?

...You can never get too many NS community maps. :I

Maybe it would help if people decided some rules which the entire community could agree on before declaring maps community maps, otherwise it is unlikely that they will end up being actual community maps, as we've seen countless times in the past.

collaborative doesn't mean everyone needs to do something or recognize it. collaborative means 'working together', so this map is already collaborative.

yes hellpotatoe, someone don't like of me

It's not even community, as some nations aren't going to be on here, it is, as kipz mentioned, collaborative.

It was more directed at the other map topic, but it really doesn't matter whether it's community, collaborative or whatever, I just think don't see the point in continuing to make different maps of our NationStates. I like the idea of having one community map though, we just need to agree on some rules for it.

The one that has done that the best imo, thus far, is Fiah's topic.

Except we have the Kallisto issue. Maybe instead of Fiah forcing Kallisto to be somewhere we solve it as a community?

~~This sounds stupid.~~

i don't see the problem with multiple maps, its fun

That was exactly what I was trying to point out. :I

My problem with it is mainly:
1) If you put all the effort you put into multiple maps into a single one instead, that single one could be a lot better.
2) There aren't multiple maps of France or Germany with completely different shapes. :I I know they could be colonies on alternate planets etc., but it still doesn't really make sense to me to have all these different NS maps. I want to have a single, official map of Redbow and Blaist Blaland, so I can put on cities etc. which can persist on the map. This is why I put the original Redbow shape from Darvince's map directly into this and Fiah's map, I don't want to have to make a new one for the Factbook and rethink all sorts of things for the geography.

It seems very non-standard.

why do we need a 'standard' map

I'll quote Bla because he explained it perfectly. Except obviously with my nations.

can you not do 'more important things' without a standard map?

also, i do understand bla's point, but i still enjoy drawing shapes on an image.

i get your points. i still like drawing nations in a hundred different shapes.

so I can make cities and railways and geopolitical history and cultures and industrial centers and shipyards and borders and mountains and rivers and subdivisions and a hundred other things

Yeah...

A lot of these things don't work well without official/standard maps.

Having a standard map doesn't stop you from doing this.

We use GIMP for these maps.
