Terminal Velocity: Africa (Map Game)

Fancy trying to bring order and prosperity to Africa with a new nation or two.

So let's have fun in our new world.

This Map game is now closed since it was not edited for 7 days in a row!

This is an uncommon and unconventional map game idea that does not include any fighting or plotting, you do not play as any nation and turns do not go in time. This is an (ASB - carve out your own ATL nation) not-map-game style map-game. It's weird, and it probably won't work smoothly until it's properly tested out.

Whatever, its terminal velocity change for the established order in Africa! Long live Africa, arise and prove your peoples' greatness.

Procedure and rules

1. Game starts with five players!
2. Label your turn as Turn One, Turn Two, Turn Three, etc.
3. A blank maps will be posted at the start and to take a "turn", people make an edit to the unclaimed grey parts of the map and add their A.T.L. nation. Every turn you draw a new nation onto the map.
4. After each map edit the player will post as to what nation they added, and give a brief description of added nation- (county name, capital city, the four largest cities, religion(s), language(s), ethnic group(s), regime, literacy rate, currency, total population, economic type, total military strength and nation's favorite sport(s)).
5. Don't make your nation super big, if it's bigger than OTL Egypt + Libya + Tunisia, then it's too big!
6. You can give parts to other nations in the continent of Africa, but not those outside of it! Annexation and division of nations is cool, man!
7. If you do not make a map your turn will be deleted!
8. No robot space ninjas, Cybermen, Borg, wizards or other supernatural elements!
9. You can only edit grey land not claimed by other players.
10. You just created a new nation = mission completed for that round!
11. When some one else posts after your turn, then you're free to take another turn yourself. 
12. Repeat the above actions to create another nation next round, if you liked it enough to want to return, or you could just leave it at one, if you want to!
