I can do a map based on what's been posted already if anyone likes. I already have one started with the four I named. If two people claim the same county I can simply base decision of the claim on on the join date NewTexas shows for each nation. Senior members have first choice but a 30 day undisputed claim grants perpetual ownership. |

I'll take somewhere near Dallas, or even better Dallas if that isn't claimed. Otherwise stick me up somewhere in the north part of Texas. |

Ok I have been sort of silent on the whole Map Project and that is not good considering that I am running it. We will have something called a Texas and an anti-Texas. So there will be two maps of Texas. For instance I notice alot of wanting of Brazoria County and what not. So this will make it easier to have a Brazoria County for everyone that wants a Brazoria County. I Myself have Downtown/West Austin to San Marcos or it could extend to New Braunfels if anyone isnt going to get it. So here is the deal. All y'all Texans have until the week after Spring Break to get your requests in. Until then I will be making a list and it will be updated every week. So here is our first edition of the list with all current claims. Rixtex- Ellis County Republic of Even Greater Texas - Robertson County Republic of FreeTexas - Milam County Community of Social Tranquility - Falls County Republic of Nueva Fredonia - Bell County Leifuria-Goliad deadwhores-anywhere (thinking San Angelo at the moment for ya) No_Stinking_Taxes- You want somewhere Northeast? Well Texarkana is nothing like Boston but I have you slated there unless there is any objection. Melor-Brazoria with part of Montgomery Tweety- wanted something by Coast so I got you down in Corpus Greenspoint-Northern Houston (will not honor NW Houston Republic because isnt he your puppet?) Richard Hidalgo and Cameron Johntheaho- LBJ rules so I got you down in Blanco County where the towns of Johnson City and Stonewall are located. As you can see Houston is becoming hotly contested. We need to do some bare knuckly boxing. |

Well, both Greenspoint and Northwest Houston need to be in Harris county. We both think that Harris county is big enough for both of us. Put NW Houston in west Harris Co., and Greenspoint in east Harris Co. ![]() Thanks. Woops, just read the entirety of your post. You won't give NW Houston a place?

By order of request here are the 15 nations listed and why... 1. Melor - Brazoria (by request) Firm: 02-26 2. Tweety - Kenedy (on the coast somewhere) Firm: 02-26 3. Greenspoint - Harris (by request) Firm: 02-26 4. NW Houston - Waller (Harris called, based on senority NW of Harris) Firm: 02-26 5. Richard - Hidalgo (by request) Firm: 02-26 6. Even Greater Texas - Robertson (by request) FIRM - my map ![]() 7. Free Texas - Milam (by request) Firm: 02-27 8. Nueva Fredonia - Falls (by reqiest) Firm: 02-27 9. Social Tranquility - Limestone (by request) Firm: 02-27 10. JohnTheAho - Gillespe (birthplace of LBJ) Firm 02-27 11. No Stinking Taxes - Dallam (NW Corner) Firm: 02-27 12. RixTex - Ellis (by request) Firm: 02-27 13. Dead Whores - Brown (geographical center of Texas) Firm: 02-28 14. Liefica (sp.) - Goliad (by request) Firm: 02-29 15. TimDuwater - Dallas (by request) Firm 03-01 16. -Texas- - Travis (first choice) Firm: 03-01 17. Buffalo Creek - Johnson County (by request) Firm: 03-01 Unless declared official by NewTexas this will remain an unofficial map. Rules: 1. Only complete counties will be assigned. 2. Disputes will be decided on basis of senority. 3. After 10 days from assignment, assignments become permenant, cannot be bumped by senority. 4. Once permenant counties cannot be changed. 5. Departures from regional membership for 10 days, unless on official business, will void claim and county will be declared vacant. 6. Nations which cease to exist are immediately vacant. 7. Maps will be intermittently updated...no promises. 8. Requests for counties may be made here, by telegram, or via email. If posted on the regional board and I see them, I will record them, but if I miss them before they scroll off...sorry. 9. Other rules may apply if needed (read coin flip). |

Incidentally, the 255th county, which is at the connection of the Red River and the Texas panhandle, is Greer County. Greer County Texas was stripped from Texas by the US Supreme Court in 1898 and awarded to the state of Oklahoma based upon a misinterprestation of our lawful boundries according to the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. Being a loyal Texas nationalist I ALWAYS include Greer County, Texas in Texas maps. |

I cant beleive I forgot what county the great LBJ was born in. However, he did grow up in Johnson City which is named after his family and where his boyhood home is located. To make him happy give him both Gillespie and Blanco. Also this map may look like the current Congressional Districts. Many people want a slice of Houston, many people want a slice of DFW area. Both New Texas and I live in Austin, we are both going to want a portion of Austin. So my map contrary to EGT will look kinda weird. |

Being a Pennsylvanian boy in real life and an Ambassador from the 10000 Islands, I do not need a county. If you need a place for the 10000 Islands Embassy however, a place along the coast would be nice because it would be like home. There's my input, thanks for putting up with me. |

We have designated a stretch of former hotels on the seaward side of South Padre Island to be converted to Embassy's for our Regional Ambassadors. |

I would love to have Blanco county as well, just becuase of Johnson City being in it. If anyone else wants it, I will ceed it to them (seein' as I have a county already) however if one else already wants it I would love to have it. By the way many thanks to Even Greater Texas for putting this all together, you've done a damn fine job.

John...I'm not sure but I think with so many nations that we're limiting it to one county per person right now. But since it's not my project, I can't say for sure. I'm sure we can figure something out though. |

John, if you are limited to one county I'll request Blanco county. If I get it you are welcome to visit it at any time. If you can have two counties, and you get Blanco John, give me something near fort worth (preferably fort worth if that is in its own unclaimed county). Thanks everyone. |

Yeah that makes sense, I was just saying that in case the county remains unclaimed. I wasn't trying to be greedy or anything, sorry if people took that the wrong way. |

Don't worry John, we don't see it that way. It's just in case it is one county, you have a back up, thats all. |

I'd like to request I guess Williamson County? But if that isn't available then I don't care as long as I'm on the map. On a side note, Ecole, our UN puppet government is actually located in the center of Feichmest, much like the Vatican City in Rome. We'd like that represented on the map also, if that's not too much of a problem --- El Jefe Tom |
