The important thing to take note of, Hellorp, is that Zones of Control aren't arbitrary circles but dependent on your cities' populations. Every million population in each city gives you 250 pixels of ZoC (If you make each one a different color you can count them out in pretty much any photo editing program but MSPaint) and each city starts with 3 million population at your nation's founding, so you get to pick 750 pixels per city for your zones of control.

Provincial Turkish Republic

Encyclopaedia Territorium - Page 3 L518x1U

Anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjgjzS9xbTA

Zones of Control and Claims:

Spoiler:

Capital City: Senazir (Constantinople)

Government Type: Republic (Well it's a "Republic" with minor elections but the main power is held by the current Generalissimo)

Economic System: State Capitalism

Leader Name: Generalissimo Azad Çakmak

Ruling Party Faction: National Revolutionary Party

History: 200 years after the fall of Constantinople, things were unstable in the Ottoman Empire. Multiple civil wars had occurred in the past decade due to incompetent sultans and their unwilling heirs. Things were looking rough, and a competent general had delusions of grandeur. His name was Sun Şen. He spent years working with people around him and developing a network of printing presses across the empire. He finally declared his intent on overthrowing the recently coronated Sultan. The Sultan, being a young 15 year old, was largely unable to do as he stood and watched the armies of Şen take Constantinople. What seemed to be a mere coup however, sparked into a revolution as Şen's network of printing presses spurred the war weary Turkish people into action against the corrupt and incompetent monarchy. Şen promised a more liberal society, these thoughts allowed him to seize the day. When Şen's Revolutionary Army finally secured most of the Empire, it seemed like the decline had been reversed. However, this was too good to be true. After a triumph held in Constantinople, Şen mysteriously disappeared. Nobles, surrounded in fear about what Şen promised to the people, assassinated Şen on the night of the triumph. Before the nobles could take any sort of power though, Şen's heir apparent, General Azad Çakmak, took action. He lead the Revolutionary Army across the Bosphorus and into the heartland of Turkey, where he hunted down the nobles that took Şen's life. These were still dire however, as news of Şen's death quickly spread to the outposts of the empire, and nobles took charge and formed their own independent lands in an attempt to combat this revolution. With his power base split, Çakmak found it hard to continue. He launched a campaign into central Turkey, but was decisively defeated and then captured at Ankara. When a release was finally negotiated, the nobles had a firm grip on what was left of the empire. Çakmak led various expeditions and solidified his rule on what he had left. Çakmak was not like Şen though, he felt the need to unify what the empire used to be before any sort of liberalization could occur. Şen's experimental plans for a Republic ended at his death.

Delta/Charzy,

I'm sorry, I didn't know if there was a way to actually count pixels. Are there any free programs I can use for this purpose?

by Hellorp Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:34 am

My regional map has been updated to look more region-y and comply with the pixel limit.

by **MysticPing** Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:31 am

It's still not right, and having land spread out that way is not a good idea. 750 pixels per city (including one pixel for the city itself). And the borders should be a 1 pixel thick line. The 3 provinces should be visible on the world map etc

by Hellorp Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:38 am

Charzy clarified that the size of the ZoCs depends on the population of the city and is not fixed to 750 pixels. I don't see how the thickness of the line is relevant.

I understand that it is necessary to include the Zones on the world map if only a world map is provided, but there is no need to include the regions in both; the regional map is redundant otherwise. Notice that on the common world map in the first post of this thread, no regions are displayed.

by **JayDee** Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:43 am

border thickness is for ease of incorporating your map onto the world map, your world map needs to just be your ZoC, and your regional map is all blurry, fix it.

by cziken20 Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:49 am

It cant go above 750 pixels. Thickness of the line is relevant, since it shouldnt exist anyway. No more lines.

by **Yuriski** Mon Aug 17, 2015 12:59 pm

Caesar, this Zone of Control (highlighted in pink) is too large by 24 pixels. Once it's 750px or under, you can be accepted.

Hellorp, border thicknesses are not represented on the map. The end of your ZoC and claims are your borders, there does not have to be a line.

am i accepted m8

You still haven't fixed your Zones of Control. The orange city is not 4 million in population, so it's limit is 750 pixels.

Sorry, I forgot to fix the population things. I have 4 Million in Capital and 2.5 in each of the other two. Sorry 'bout that. Accepted if I fix that?

by **Yuriski** Mon Aug 17, 2015 3:19 pm

Yep, that's fine. Accepted.

Please remove Persia from the map, it's been deleted.

Sure thing. I'm sorry to see you leaving.

That's better Caesar, although you seem to have accepted yourself anyway.

by Hellorp Tue Aug 18, 2015 1:33 pm

I've updated my map again. Please say it's over!

by **DeltaV** Tue Aug 18, 2015 3:00 pm

Hellorp, your Zones of Control seem to have small borders around them in certain areas. This is likely due to bad image compression or the incorrect tool in whatever image editor you use, and is going to make it a pain for people to add your country to the map. Make sure that you save all your images in .png format and use the pencil tool for drawing out your things.

I took the liberty to fix some of your map , you still need to change it to follow the rules though. Look at this thread for info

by Appe96 Tue Aug 18, 2015 3:53 pm

I don't see anything different except that you removed the cities. What else did you do?

by **MysticPing** Tue Aug 18, 2015 4:07 pm

Removed other nations, nation names etc.

by Appe96 Tue Aug 18, 2015 4:08 pm

Map is fixed now, due to the help of MysticPing.
