Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
I like Kildare/Machinaria/Yardistan. It's got stuff that actually stayed alive, stuff that is uniquely Shirithian, and stuff that personally interests me and feels fresh
. Where would Hyperborea go though?

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
Hyperborea is currently under Brookshire/Machinaria, so that's where it'd stay, I assume.
I voted for Kildare, just because that's the one I'm sure about.

I thought Hyperborea was moving into alliance with Kildare?

No no, we got some land of South Wintergleam if we supported their claim for Agnesia.Andreas the Wise wrote:I thought Hyperborea was moving into alliance with Kildare?

It's a hard choice. Yardistani culture has, in fact, influenced a lot in our Empire. I wonder if it still has to exist as a subdivision (its culture has largely been transferred to the other minor subdivisions, like counties, etc.). I don't expect that we can hold it alive at the moment (perhaps later it can be revived) and I don't feel much for dividing the population of Kildare. That's more of a punishment: why should we try to develop our Dutchy, if everything gets taken away?
Only Kildare as subdivision, however, seems a bit lonely to me. So I would go for the last choice: Kildare and... err... the Remnants. And of course the Imperial Counties (but not under any subdivision).

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
What Imperial Counties? Shirekeep/Skyla Islands? Those aren't even viable in any way.
Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
I mean that they don't need to be put under one of those subdivisions, but should stay under direct, Imperial rule.Erik Mortis wrote:What Imperial Counties? Shirekeep/Skyla Islands? Those aren't even viable in any way.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
Maybe we should do away with all counties that aren't assigned.
Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
Err... no, I don't feel much for that idea. That's one of the reasons that the Laqi Republic declared independence. The counties are an integral part of the Empire, or at least from the Dutchy, and too important as a base to do away.Erik Mortis wrote:Maybe we should do away with all counties that aren't assigned.
Or do you simply mean the forums?

The Laqi were and are a joke as far as I'm concerned. I'm still angry at Max for that stunt.
But I mostly mean forums.

I'm not eager to 'delete' the counties. I will not stop you from doing so in your duchy, but I will resist it within Kildare.
The forums is another thing...

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
I don't particularly like the idea of getting rid of the county fora. It gets all the county-specific cultural posts/threads all jumbled together. It'd cause more problems than it would solve.
Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
I would want to say the following: Kildare will most likely get its Thanedoms, so we can post the posts of the counties in there. Like Ari said: the wiki is a great way of archiving the cultural stuff.Kaiser Fish XII wrote:I don't particularly like the idea of getting rid of the county fora.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
Yes, the wiki should probably be our ultimate way of keeping track of land development. But I think we should keep the county forums.
For me, counties have always been the smallest possible unit of culture. By making it a separate county, it's been given permission to be developed in a different way from those around it. In fact, it should be developed in a different way - if you're going to make three counties exactly the same, you might as well merge them like Nova Dalmacija. So my fear is that if we just merged counties, we'd end up with less culture because we'd have the resulting baronies (for lack of a better word) as bottom level cultural divisions. Sure, some strongly defined counties would stay (like Melangia), but others would just end up engulfed (like central Kildare).
So I say: Keep the counties.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
I think we should be moving people to work together on duchy and imperial level projects. I think counties are a weakness in the nation. They isolate and separate people from each other.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
I disagree. Counties are personal. Counties are where people can express their individuality and creativity generally without interference. Yes, we do need to try and get more cooperative projects into place, but not at the expense of counties that each of us can call our own.

Perhaps it should be made more apparent, then, that counties are actually up for grabs.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
Yes. Those counties which are well developed, we need to do up cool wiki articles on. And then we need to make all the other counties clear that they're fair game. And, to be honest, the way time goes here, if a county is unused for a year, that's over 3 centuries in time, so it changing after that interval is fine (it would be nice if people kept the old history in the wiki, but they're welcome to change the current county).

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
So you guys continue to completely fail to see how having everyone focus on their personal projects is completely antithetical to the very nature of Micronations? Micronations is about coming together and working together on a nation. Not making pseudo one man nations that pretend to be part of the larger. No one works together when we have counties, the Laqi nations if anything shows that.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
For me it's having my own personal project AND contributing to the lager part. You really don't convince me on this one. After the counties, you will want to close down the Duchies.Erik Mortis wrote:So you guys continue to completely fail to see how having everyone focus on their personal projects is completely antithetical to the very nature of Micronations?

Fact is: projects which we would have done outside Shireroth are now done in Shireroth. This way we secure it from being totally worthless and the same time we contribute to the greatness of the Empire. Even those counties contribute to the larger part, even when you deny it now.
I repeat: you can do with your Duchy what you want, but in Kildare the counties are a part of the culture and history. I will fight with all I can to avoid their destruction.

Re: Defining the Subdivisions.
Well, in Kildare, for example, me doing separate stuff in Kildare has led to things like the Gong Li rebellion with Jonas. But me and Jonas work together well and I'll be the first to admit that that sort of cool stuff hasn't happened with other Duchies.
