[@Darkspleen]Since there's now open space next to my province, is it alright if I extend my lands into Ryo's former inland spot? 

[@Serpentine88]Depending on the answer to the above, I might split and go on my own, but I appreciate you offering to host me! Maybe we can still forge out some history with the stuff we've already established?

Given the choice, I'd prefer my own standalone nation.
