Regarding here, Greater, and Lesser Automatica:
In about 150 ASC, during the distant ages when the ancestors of the Babkhans still thought nomadic pastorialism was a pretty cool idea, back when Cyberia was a real country instead of a bogeyman used to scare children - my school friend John Sager created the country of Automatic For The People, later retconned to "Automatica" after everyone grew up a bit and realized naming countries after REM albums was stupid. This was well before the MCS Map existed, so Automatica did not have a location - but it was closely related to Audentior, the United Demesos, Blackrock, etc.
I can't remember exactly how the Amokolian islands became named Automatica, but I think it involved Ryan briefly trying to resurrect the country and claiming them (I could be wrong there).
At some point, when we were trying to retcon ancient history, we realized that since Automatica was very very closely involved with Audentior, United Demesos, Blackrock, etc, it should probably be near these places on the map. So we stuck it in its current location. That's why there are two Automaticas. By my own personal interpretation of ancient history, Automatica-in-Kildare is the original site of the ancient culture, but because the ancient culture existed before the MCS Map, I have no official support for that (I was going to mention that ancient Automatica's capital, New Irvine, was in Kildari Automatica, but it looks like some border shakeup moved it into Sermolot).
Anyway, due to...personal history...with Automatica, I would totally support adding a loophole to the Kaiser's recent decree allowing Automaticans to be massacred and enslaved, but that would probably be an insult to my honored predecessor's memory (peace be unto him).
I notice that Khorze/Holly/whatever is still marked on the official map as "Lunaris", and I would support something similar here. You may have your forum called whatever you want, and your title as whatever you want, but it stays "Automatica" on the MCS Map until you've been here a year or so (it's not worth sending an immediate name-change petition to the MCS over just this anyway). If you stick around a year, then we'll talk.
(Note that this is not prejudice against you personally - I still refer to Istanbul as "Constantinople" in everyday speech - see eg
my blog entry from the city.)
Audentior has de facto Holy Land status, and you can ask any Israeli or Palestinian exactly what happens when you let a foreign nation colonize a Holy Land.
