I guess I meant Safir as in the ethnic group/race/species? I'll update the map soon.

Perhaps Natopia should begin a mission to contact the Microns and Elion-Ant'elions?

The Microns were Andreas' deal and they are nearly extinct maybe? It would be worth investigating.

The Elions ate the last Natopians that ventured in to their lair and keeping the Elions savage and uncivilized in the eternal passive-aggressive punishment for the Great Novasolan Betrayal of their ancestors (this is my OOC explanation for their existence). We could scoop some up with low-altitude hovercraft and put them in zoos though.

Nau: Dad! Adi says you're all nice, loving and humane! But putting them in zoos? That's horrible! Is Adi lying about you? Is he? Are you as evil as those shah-worshipping camel-fuckers who killed granpa and, uh... you before you were uh... resurrected? Dad...?

Nau, young chap, I think I need to have a word with you about your fathers.

Nau, you mustn't use such coarse language. You are a prince of the kingdom. Besides, you are but a child you shouldn't use such language.

As for these Elions being treated humanely, I agree. Placing them in special institutions is the only compassionate act the government has available if we decide to bring them into our multi-cultural nation. They live in the middle of no where, and have not had contact with our society for ages. They are descended from untrustworthy people that betrayed this entire country. They will kill and eat us. They have killed us. Please don't think I'm trying to frighten you Nau, but you must understand that to rule requires certain hard decisions. But know this, my son: I do everything out of compassion for my people. So we must show compassion to the citizens under our protection and to the Elions by protecting them and learning from them so that we can know if integration is possible. Unfortunately, zoos are the most capable institutions already established for such an endeavor.

And no, Nau, I am not as evil as the Babkhans, for they are not evil, only follow a strange custom so that they may show compassion for their own just as we care for ourselves. And always remember the sixth Law revealed to Taznim: "Thou will embrace thy neighbor's strange customs."

I have updated the long-overdue political map of the Dominion to reflect the current claim of Natopia. You will find it at the beginning of this thread. I'm also working on a new ethnicity map.

What is the ethnicity of the people of Arboria? Arborians? Tirlari? Treesians?

What is the ethnicity o the people of Universalis? Universals? Universalians?

Any other suggestions for an updated ethnic map?

Universal would be the correct form.

I would like to set up the Universal ethnic group as pre-dating the Laval people, since they really did, but not exclude them entirely. Universal was always intended to encompass multiple ethnicities, but for Micran history it is an offshoot of the Demesosians/Tapferites, the first people of Tapfer.

Also, could you add a legend to your terrain map?

I've had them as "laying low" this whole time in my mind since their resurgence was first suggested. Essentially the new border between Universalis and Sororiya was drawn according to census data where people either self-identified as Universal or Laval/Sororiyan, a very strong north-south divide due to Natopia having a longer presence on the north part of the peninsula and an independent Universalis in modern memory.

I'll try to find that terrain legend, I should be somewhere....

Lindstrom City Urban Renewal Plan 4.

You may notice that several streets have been straightened and routes simplified. The skywalks over Lindstrom Boulevard have been removed to restore the axial line of sight between the Palace complex, the Fountain of the Waters, and the Park. Empire Avenue has been completely straightened and is not one continuous road. The roads that encircled Vista de Nada have been removed and replaced with greenspace to enhance the palace grounds and reduce security threats. The State Ministry's parking lots were moved underground allowing the National Ministry to expand north with a new annex. Aequitine Hill has been squared off and streets now cross through it. The former northern annex of the Defense Force H.Q. has been demolished and connected to a former traffic island to create Fountain Park. Tapfer Street now extends all the way to Harbor Street, the extra land from the Library has been converted into a small park.

The colors are now not horrible and your eyes may not bleed as much. Tan is government owned, white is private/residential/commercial.
