Shireroth

The Imperial Republic of Shireroth does not give away land. I could potentially be persuaded to trade, however, though the chances of doing so are small and would have to be approved by myself and my Ministers.A noble effort, and one I shall consider. But I wouldn't hold your breath. By my hand,Her Niftiness, The Resurrector: Semisa, First of the Name, Kaiseress of Shireroth, Protector of Comstokia, Overlord of the Duchies of Naudia'Diva, Elwynn, and Kildare, Thane of the Shirelands, Keeper of the Apollo Legacy, Grand Master of the Orders of the Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, and Chimera, Wielder of Vengeance, Bearer of the Celestial Barrier, Countess of Shirekeep, Knight of the Dragon, Arsonirathius of Delvenus, Knight Companion of the Most Magnificent Imperial Order of the Sovereign Viking Crown, Princess of Hvalafell, Priestess of Cedrism, and Lady of the Golden Mango Throne.

Madam,Antica has always had a friendly relationship with the Crown. When the Babkhans posed a serious threat to the safety and well-being of Micras, it was none other than the Shirerithinas who stepped in to save the day. When the Republic was alone in the world and without a friend, the Kaiser showed compassion and granted them an informal recognition.However, a new issue has arisen. There has been considerable fear within the micronational world that Shireroth has grown too large for it's own good, and this new aquisition only serves to reenforce that fear. I appear before you on the behalf of the Speaker of the Republic, as well as some other concerned micronations, and appeal to you to release all of this newly gotten land to the Republicans, so they may continue the Antican traditions and carry on the culture. I thank you for your time and consideration.*bows and walks away* ________________It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.-Andrew Jackson

While Shireroth does not give up land in the sense of giving it to other nations, (One which I completely agree with, or more accurately, know that it is futile) giving up land for the sake of the MCS map is another thing altogether, as Shireroth technically has no choice when push comes to shove. I'd tell you right now that Ryan is seriously considering the concept of the Atkins map again, and we might have to decide which territories we are willing to sacrifice.The map doesn't look good with too much Shireroth in it, anyway. I know that's blasphemy, but it's the same type of thing with the GC. The map should be diverse, not have absolutly huge sprawling empires that have more land that it is merited. And yes, I know (And I was the one who calculated it) that Shireroth is the most deserving of the land to be kept, as it has the most activity out of all of the largest nations on the map, with the obvious exception of Lovely.

Nick, your a good man, but this obviously an attempt for the Republic to get the Dinarchy's land easily and legaly. An excellent move, but I disagree with your idea. Shireroth got large because people want to be here. We don't invade countries or force people to stay. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

I agree that it may be preferable to give up some Shirerithian land in the future. However, giving up the Dinarchy land is neither advisable nor permissible. The Dinarchy land belongs to the people of the Dinarchy, who have recently joined us, and they ought to (and, by the treaty, do) have the final say in what is done with their territory. If the Dinarchy had wanted it given to the Republic, they would have done so themselves rather than bother to join us.

If Ryan takes such an action I will show him the recent stats on the map.. and that fact we still have 23% usable land still free as of 7.0.3 E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

I think the major fact is that some nations have way more territory than they merit, rather than the actual amount of free land left. And yes, I know that out of all the large nations, Shireroth deserves the land it has the most, as it is by far much more active than the other nations combined. Once again, excluding Lovely.Either way, it doesn't stop the fact that Ryan is free to do anything he wants.

accually.. not completely.. but no one recognizes Scott and especcially me as heads of the MCS anymore. E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.
