I'll ask for Hays county if its not taken. If it is, then I'll go for Hutchinson county. If that too is taken, stick me in West Texas anywhere. Thanks. |

Ok lets do this again. I thought I was logged in, but I wasn't. So anyway, I would like a county on the coast if that is possible. I don't know any of their names, so I don't really care one way of the other. Hautboises |

I don't want to sound greedy, but could I have two small adjacent counties in west Texas (Kerr and Kendle). If I can't then I guess I'll have to be content with just Kerr. Texas Defender, Sahib Willie |

EGT, thanks for the work. However, (look out, here come the "howevers"!), we were looking for real estate in the northeast, not the northwest. Thanks, Dweezil |

Nice work, and I think the rules are nicely established. My personal request is that nations try to do whatever possible to avoid disputes. If possible maybe talk to the nation that occupies the county you want and see if you can work something out. We don't want unhappy people and there are a lot of good counties to go around. Just my two cents. |

Dewey, This is an issue we brought up with -Texas-. We know of at least 12+ nations in Travis county, another dozen and a half in Harris and handfuls in Bexar, Williamson, McLennan and many others. Not to naysay Even Greater Texas's fine map, this is a problem inherent in using this method. |

Wow, I didn't realize that people were so concentrated. I guess that poses a problem. Personally, I like the county system, but I guess it might not work too well with so many people being from the same counties. |

Willieville - It's limited to one county per nation...I have you down for Kerr. No Stinking Taxes - My error, I hear they have an interesting Post Office in Texarkana. ![]() NewTexas - Strangely enough, there has only been two dual requests so far. In one the rules quickly resolved it, and in the other the requestee resubmitted a modified request. So far it is going remarkably smooth on a county by county basis and this also allows areas large enough to be seen. Someone asked about the "unorganized territory". The objective is to provide room for further expansion should the 255 counties (can you find the 255th?) I have on the map ever become fully occupied. Should that happen, we can literally double the number of counties by moving, tier by tier, like an advancing frontier, into the national territoeies of the Republic that the state no longer controls. Since it's doubtful even a majority of members of the region will ever request a county, and since we have an automatic clean up feature in the rules, we will probably never even fully fill the state map. This is fun though. I'm having a ball!

Great job with the map EGT. However, you have me as #24 on the legend and #25 on the map. An easily fixed problem, but I figured it would be better to point out now to avoid confusion when you add more nations. Keep up the good work. Texas Defender, Sahib Willie |

I just wanted to make sure that y'all know that I want a region on the East of Texas so I can keep good relations with the Louisianians (me being a Louisiana man myself). I would like to be named ambassador to the region if it is ok with you guys and if we don't already have one. I think I could keep a good relation between our two regions. Field Marshall L.J.S.
