In the north, the nations allied under the name of [color=lightgreen][b]Nordia[/b][/color] have allied for fear of invasion and meddling from the other two larger alliances. Their political identity has not been defined. Other countries and territories have not allied themselves to any particular bloc....[/indent]

[i][indent]The world is slightly larger than the continent of North America. Feel free to invent geographical features as you see fit and necessary for your particular nation,faction or corporation. The political guidelines should be considered when creating nations, factions or corporations. Discuss in the OOC. Remember that the boundaries are political only and are comprised of many smaller nations.[/indent][/i]
